The ship Senator, which arrived at this

not pump any longer. Captain Coffin
hereupon assembled all hands. Taking

A consultation WAS soon held. One old
fellow declared he had rather pump than
pray as he understood it better, and it a

going again as lively as ever, and they did
not cease going, except at intervals, until

this city and passed down Genesee street
there would not at this hour remain YES
! tige of its present formation. OF wha,
the destructive power was composed we
are not prepared to affirm, but of its force
we can trutbfuly attest. Hugh trees were
tossed from their deep rooted resting pla-
ces as redily as a gardener would pull a
reddish from the sandy earth; fences and
even fence posts were scattered in every
direction as if they were chips. The mo-
wing mass ofruin Is represented by all who
saw 1t to have a vapofy substance: it WAS
not accompanied by any wind or Storm
In its motion there was a constant revolu-
ton, aud when it was rising this whirling
popularity became more terrific and vio-
lent. The peculiar buzzing sound which
was noticed in its passage by our own citi-
zens, was also remarked by the people
along its course in Deerield and Schuy-
Ter.
All the peculiarilies Attending the phe-
nomenon seem to demand a scientific in
vestigation as TO its cause and peculiar eff
feet What agency could proluco such
results except electricity we are unable to
apprehend; and yet the strange proofs Of
destruction exhibited can not well be ex-
planned on any popular theory connected
with this wonderful agency The trees are
still green in the leaf and healthful in the
bud, and still neither wood or metolic sub
stances with which the element camo in
contact bear the slightest mark of heat, or
show the usual marked effects of atmos-
peric electrical co Itact as DESTROYING
power But we have no solution of
our own that is at all satisfactory to our
selves eevn, much less to give the reader
The subject is one worthy of scientific ex-
position, and as the facts and evidence at
tending the phenomenon are fresh and ca
silly accessible, we hope some one will IN
dertake he task Of reducing to the stand
ard Of the public mind comprehensive
explanation Of the occurrence
The lady who was killed was thirty
years Of age; the child SO badly injured is
about five years Of age. The building
which the family occupied was known as
the Baptist parsonage, and is about five
miles from the city on the road lealng
through Schuyler Corners. Yesterday
several. parties visited the scene of disas-
ter, aed all agree that no description of
the utter ruin wrought can suffice to con-
vey any just conception to the public
mind.

APLEAsANT SURPRISE. --Chares Gould,
Esq, Of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad,
gave his friends dinner at the Burnett
House last evening, when, Upon the re-
moval of the cloth, surprising incident
took the company By storm. A Railroad
track had been laid along the table, con
cealed by the cloth, upon the removal OF
which the guests were startled by hearing
the shrill Shrek Of steam whistle, and
the ring ing Of bell in the house, and it
appeared that there was the St. Louis and
Cincinnati Railroad depota splendidly de
signed in confectionery, and miniature To-
connective, with train of cars, ran the length
of The table in the quickest time, amid en-
tllusiastic applause. So well pleased were
the company with the trip Of the little
locomotive and train, that they caused II
to do the same thing over again repeated

piece of machinery. Railroads just new,
are in the ascendant, even in the line OF

A MARRIAGE Portion Worth her
weight in gold is an old saying, but not
many can boast Of It's truth in their Own
person. In the oiden time, in Massachu-
sets, the Office Of Mint Master was held
Ibv Capt. John Hull, who had an only
daughter, whom he gave in marriage to
Samuel Sewell, and to whom, besides her
intrinsic value, she proved her weis ut IN
silver. At her wedding, her father placed
her ia one side Of the large scales, and piled
silver shillings in the other until they
weighed her down. The popular story
was, that her marriage portion amounted
/ to thirty thousand pounds, winch would
be considered great fortune IN these days
and which, two hundred years ago-tLe
marriage took place Feb. IA, 1905 ana .
