SEVERE GALE AT TURKS IsLAND.-The Roval
Standard of the 23d of October contains an account
of a severe gale at Turks Island on the Goth. 1t
saws:
For the last three davs the weather has been
stormy. About midnight on Wednesday last, 10th,
the wind hauled to the southwest, and from that
time it has been blowing heavy gale from that
quarter causing a tremendous sea on the reefs to
the westward of these islands, which also breaks
with great force the beach, endangering the
abutments and sea walls which have been built for
the protection of water lots, and occasioning the
loss of much valuable property.
At the commencement of the gale there were sew
en- vessels lying in the roadstead of this cav,
(Grand Turk all of which have been wrecked, ex-
cept the bark Tejuca, Capt. Herriman from ST.
Thomas, in ballast. This vessel got under way on
Thursday afternoon, and put to sea at a time when
the wind moderated little, and backed in about S.
S. W, which gave her lay off shore. 1t is said
that similarly extensive loss of shipping has oc-
CURED here since the year 1921.
The following is a list of the shipwrecked vessels:
Schooner Transit, of Liverpool, N S., Captain
Allen, from st. Thomas, rarity laden with salt.
Platte.
Brig AleppO, of Windsor, N. S, Capt. Roy, near
ly laden with salt.
Brig Mungo Park, of Bangor, Maine, Nichols,
from Porto Rico, in ballast.
Brig River Belle, of Parsboro, N. s., Can't. Ora
ham, with part of inward cargo on board
Brig Herbert Huntington, of Yarmouth, n s.,
Capt. Pinckney, from Bermuda for New Y ork, part
ly laden with salt
These vessels were all wrecked between the hours
of A. NJ and 10 2. NJ. of Thursday, 2lst.
10 the foregoing list of disasters we have to add
that the brig Cordova, of Providence, r. l., Capt.
Franklin, from Salt Cay; sought sheer in Cotton
Cay Channel, and has been driven from her ancho-
rage and not since heard of. Great fears are en-
tertained for her safety. Up to time of going to
press the packet Australia, from Nassau, had not
arrived.
The quantity of salt shipped the past week has
been comparatively small, owing to the boisterous
weather which has prevailed, and may be said to
have completely broken up salt season for this
year.

GETTING Along WITHOUT MONEY 1t is curious
fact that the manual labor performed on the Pla-
cerville and Salt Lake telegraph line, more than
forty miles of which is already finished, has been
done, and is being done, by men who work at fair
wages and take their pay in stock. The steamboats,
carry the wire from San Francisco to Sacramento
on an unlimited credit, and will probably take pay
in stock. The teamsters haul to its destination, and
take pay in stock the workmen put it up and
take pay in stock; the grocers of Placerville fur
nsh provisions and take pay in stock; and thus the
people, the hard-fsted, the bone and snew Of the
land, become directly interested in this great
enterprise. The masses have taken hold sof it
and exhibit their faith in the enterprise by their
deeds. Capital is wanted to purchase wire and, it
may be- to buy poles also, and it is reasonable to
expect that with proper efforts the part of the
directors that will not be wantng.-Sacramento

Sunday the matter was made a special subject of
prayer by the Rev. MIR. Peck, who prayed that the
Lord would stand by those men who had prevented
the carrying off of fugitive slaves from that place.
and hoped He would soften the hearts of their per-
secutors, and nerve them to greater struggles in
behalf of freedom.
About two o'clock on Monday morning a party
of men went to the house of Deputy Marshal Day
ton and fired several shots at it, shatterng the win
dows and doing other damage. Fortunately, the
shot did not hit any of the inmates. The bold and
courageous men, who had probably been acting
under the inspiration of Brother Pecks PRAYER then
retired to their virtuous couches 1t is urged by
some Of the Oberlin people that the only object of
these sweet persons was to trighen the Deputy from

the object it failed, for he served them soon af
