TERRIFIC AND Disastrous HAILsToRM,-
We learn that one of the most frightful and
disastrous hail storms that has ever been
known in the West, visited the town of
Dwight, in Livingston county, on the line of
the st. Louis, Alton, and Chicago Railroad.
last Saturday. The facts are scarcely credi
BILE, but we vouch for their correctness as
stated below:
''The hail stones were like pieces of cut
ice, and some of them were seven inches in
diameter. They fell in perfect torrents,
striking down CATTLE men, shrubbery, and
crops as if beaten down by shower of stones.
Thousands of acres Of corn were cut down as
if by reapers, and rendered total loss to the
farmers. Orchards we're stripped, and gar
dens, and oats, and wheat fields beaten to the
earth.
Window sashes and roofs were also in ma
ny cases badly cut and split. The cattle that
happened to be in the fields at the time, had
gashes cut into their flesh several inches in
length. and We hear of at least one man who
was so badly cut and bruised by the heavy
hail stones that he is laid up, and not expect
ed to live. After the storm, we are assured
the earth was completely covered with hail
to the depth of several inches.
We learn from Sterling, Whitesde county,
that on the same DAY hail storm, similar to
the above in its character and effects, visited
that vicinity, doing vast damage. Chicago

COMPLIMENT TO GOVERNOR CHASE
About fifty gentleman of Boston and vicinity.
knowing that Governor Chase, of Ohio, was
in that city, rendered to him dinner at the
Parker House, Monday afternoon. The &C.
cason was very pleasant. 1t was private;
but we think we shall not transgress the rules
of propriety when we say that Gov. Banks
presided, with his accustomed ability and
grace. A number of distinguished gentlemen
were present. Speeches were made by Gov.
Banks, Gov. Chase, Senator Wilson, ex. Gov.
Kent Of Maine, Hon. Eli Thayer, Hon, An
son Burlingane, Attorney General Phillips.
Gen. Schouler, Moses Kimball, Mr.. F. ii,

The meeting was free and social, and broke
up at about eight o'clock. We have never
attended more pleasant gathering, and were
all the good things reported which were said.
the public would think as we do. But as il
was private matter, we shall say no more
than we have Boston Atlas 8 Bee.

"Hon. Eli Thayer, NJ. e. from the Worces-
ter district, was called up by reference TO his

in the course of which he introduced letter
from Hon. Amos A. Lawrence, who excused
himself from being absent, and complimented
Governor Chase on account Of his interest in
the cause Of kanzas."

A GENERAL JUBILEB.-The impression
seems to be universal that the little separate
demonstrations which have just taken place
throughout the country in honor of the At.
lantc telegraph, are not an adequate express
SION OF the public feeling. These have been
the spontaneous outbursts of delighted sur
prise that an almost hopeless undertaking
should have succeeded, rather than solemn
and grateful recognition of the grand event
and all it promises. We have but just hud
time to steady ourselves into contemplation
OF the real magnitude of the new era which is
opening upon US, and of the measure of graf.
ltude which we owe to Providence for its sig
nal guidance through all the stages of the
work now contaminated. And it is fortunate
that particular moment is in reserve fer us,
when this general celebration will be most
appropriate-a moment not only for smulta-
neous demonstrations throughout this broad
land but for transmitting the pulsations of
mutual JOY from continent to continent.
That time will be ushered in by the exchange
OF congratulations between Queen Victoria
and President Buchanan Boston Journal.

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-Five dis.
patches were received at the office in New
Hort, tor transmission to Europe, Immediately
after the announcement of the successful Law
ing of the cable, when orders were given not
to take any more till the line was regularly
opened. Quite number applied to have
messages registered, and were lmportunate in
demanding an entry, every one wanting to be
first, and each willing to pay and bear the
loss, provided the wire should not ultimately
work.
Should the telegraph prove success, it
would become necessary, for brevity, eeono-
my, and privacy in dispatches, both official
and individual, to invent new alphabets or
symbols, which will be concerted between
parties on either side. The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sw, states that
plans for official correspondence have been
submitted to the government for examination
and adoption. The State department now has
cypher for secret correspondence with agents
abroad. But it may be doubted whether anv
system OF this sort will be practicable, if the
dispatch IS to pass through many stations be-
yond the ternsini OF the ocean telegraph. Sc.
rlous mistakes might easily be made by the
peratoIs.-B0Sto1 Journal.

ADRoIT ROBBERY OF A BANK.-The New
Haven Bank of New Haven, was robbed of
$1,000 in Eastern bank on the 9th of July
in q most adroit manner. A stranger of gem
tlemanly appearance entered the bank, while
the cashier and teller were absent at dinner,
and asked the clerk for paper to write let
ter. The clerk stepped from his desk, in the
rear part of the room, to the counter, and
handed him both paper and pen then re-
turned to his desk again, without taking any
farther notice of him. The stranger went to
the end of the counter, and wrote some min
utes, and then left the bank without exciting
the least suspic on on the part of the clerk or
book keeper who were the only persons then
present-cashier and teller being absent to
dinner. In the afternoon, upon making up
the cash account, package of $4,000 of
Eastern funds was missing, and no doubt the
light fingered gentleman spoken of was the
possessor of it. The clerk did not notice that
he left the counter while in the bank, and as
the distance from the counter to the table
where the money lay was nearly six feet, it
was supposed that he must have taken the
money as be went out.
A similar attempt was made at the City
Bank few days before, but owing TO the Wig
lance of the officials, it was unsuccessful

LONGITUDE BY THE TRANSATLANTIC TELE-
GRAPH.-The transatlantic telegraph will af-
ford means by which the difference of Iongi-
tude between observatores in this country
and Europe can be determined with the same
accuracy as latitude is determined, which is a
matter of paramount importance, both to the
astronomer and navigator. 1t is consoling to
the former, because the transportation of
chronometers to Europe and back, will be
done away with, and the many thousand
troublesome observations required for the de-
termination of longitude will be abridged.
Heretofore science has not afforded means by
which the coast of the United States could
be delineated on a chart, in comparative posi-.
ton with the coasts OF Europe, nearer than a
mile. This is one of the many practical ben
etits which will be realized from the compile
ton OF this great work.-N. Y. Times.

they were blacks who wished to engage as free
laborers. Scarcely had they entered into nego-
tlatons on the deck of the vessel than one OF the
soldiers shot the mate dead. This was the signal
for the general massacre of the crew. Two of

The KANzAs ELEcTIoN.-W are now
where we ought TO have been two or three
years ago, and where we should have been but
for the INSCRIPTIONS and persistent intermed-
ding Of the national administration. The
people OF KaAzas have been really allowed to
speak their mind in regard to their own in
stitutions. The proposition, to be sure, was
unfairly rendered to them, with bride in
one hand aud threat in the other, but
the elections seem to have been fairly con-
Quoted, and the voice OF the people will be
legally recognized And what Il rebuke does
it give TO the whole tissue of Democratic mis-
representations concerning the position of the
Free State men of Kanzas How it exposes
and explodes, as by lightning fash, the
whole system Of injustice waged against the
territory by the long line Of frauds perpetra-
ted there, and connived at and ratified by the
two last administrations at Washington
Who shall say hereafter, as has been said over
and over again, from Democratic President
to the meanest Buncombe orator in Congress,
that the people of Kanzas really framed the Le-
compton constitution and desired admission
under it, and that a few demagogues alone
were opposed therefor Who shall saw that
the territory has had anything like fair treat
ment, when it has been legislated for and
governed by set of men who cannot now
muster at the polls popular vote of the least
sort of consequence! Who shall saw that all
the grievances of the Free State men received
at the hands Of this contemplate minority,
countenanced at all times blythe national adj
minstration, are not now attested Nv the de-

cause of the freemen of Kanzas is at length

SEVERE HAIL STORM IN CoNNBcTouT.-The
Hartford Times says that severe rain storm &C.
Cured in that city on Saturday last, flooding the
city. In some localities hail fell. In Col Colts
tobacco field the loss was about four thousand dol
lars. In other places outside of the city tobacco
and corn fields were badly injured by the hail rain,
and wind. What is curious, the line of denmark.
alton between the rain and the hail storm was
quite distinct, and as straight as a surveyors
line. One course Is. e. Of field of tobacco
was cut to pieces, while the remainder, from a
straight line along this path of rain, was I'M
touched. In Newington, VIM. Welles had his
hat cut to pieces by the hail, and torn from his
head he thinks his life was saved only by his
reaching shelter quickly The windows on the
East side of his house were demolished Anoth-
er mans felt hat was cut through by hailstone,
which were large as pullet's eggs.
