How TO JUMP OFF THE CARs.-Unless
you intend suicide, don't jump from the
cars when in motion but if you think
you must, and won be persuaded to be.
have like sensible man, this is probably
the way to do it; jump sidewi.e, as high
as you can, and when in the air screw
your legs up and bend the head forward.
You will strike the ground with that par,
Of the body that il or should be cushioned
BY nature for the purpose, and you will
roll away from the train in the manner Of
q wheel. Hands, to avoid the scratches.
had better be in the trousers pocket. II
you survive the operation, you will feel
better, it is quite likely, than il you had
Numbered off without regard to the rules
Of science. and broken your neck or
cracked the dome Of thought. One e1pe'
riment will probably satisfy you as to the
convenience and comfort Of this method
Of getting of the cars.

ANOTHER ToRNADo.-lt is a noticeable
fact that for the last two years South
tern Louisiana has had more than its usu.
al share of tornadoes and storms of all
kinds. On the mig ht Of the 16,h-l7th
inst. at about quarter past O'Clock. we
were visited by another Of these destruc'
tive whirlwinds, which if possible, was
more severe and disastrous to property in
this parish, than was the ever deplorable
storm ofthe 10th of las, August. by which
Last Island was swept away.
Although We have heard Of no loss o.
life. several planters have suffered severe.
ly BY the destruction Of their buildings.
Sugar houses, purgeries, negro cabins,
stables. &C., have been partially, or COM
pletely demolished on many places, while
the fences and trees have suffered severe
ly. The cane and corn crops were not
sufficiently advanced to present much Of
an obstacle to the raging element, and
therefore escaped without any serious in
jury.
Houma had its quota Of misfortune, and
the Ceres is numbered among the suffer
ers. having had the roof of our dwelling
and Office torn off by the angry wind, and
carried in one entire piece to some dis
lance from the building, while the rain
was pouring down in torrents. We were
very fortunate, however, in finding a
neighboring tenement vacant, and with
the assistance Of some neighbors and
friends who len: willing hands, soon found
ourselves comfortably housed. This
timely assistance will always be grateful
ly remembered.
Since the storm we have had very un-
seasonable weather. Instead of a warm
atmosphere and the refreshing showers
common At this season to our southern cli-
mate we have bleak north winds and frosts.
