aTHSmilton and vicinity was visited by =
severe storm last Saturday night. The Tele
graph says: "our streets presented the appear.
ance Of a vast clearing on Sunday morning. SC
thickly were they strewed with the branches Of
shade trees. The large and beautiful maple
which stood in front of Hon. L. d. Campbell's
flower garden. adjoining his residence, was ups
rooted and blown across the yard, injuring the
shrubbery somewhat. This was one of the
finest shade trees in the city, and an ornament
to the place, and every body regrets its fall.
1t has been trimmed of its branches and reset
with the hope that it may grow"
We well remember this beautiful forest tree
It was an object of note and was admired by all
who saw It,
The damage to trees, DC, in the city gensr
ally was considerable, and it is supposed the
storm did mischief in the vicinity.

WHY JOSEPHINE MARRIED NAPOLEON -
Every body knows thar it was Barras who
induced Josephine dc Beauharnais to be.
come the wife Of General Bonsparte, and il
10 equally potent that she was only persua-
ded to do 80 by the stringent representation
which be made to her Of her comparative
poverty, and the duty that she owed to her
fatherless children. That wounded vanity
tended in so slight degree to render heI
averse to receiving husband at the hands
OF man who had so recently professsd
himself her slave, there can be no doubt;
but in all affairs of the heart, Barras had
constantly been eminently practical. He
attempted no display Of sentiment when she
reproached him with what she designated
as his perfdy, and, with the ready tears for
which he was celebrated recalled TO his mind
the happy months of their residence at the
Chateau des Eguillades, where, baskiDg be-
meath southern sun, in the midst of a mug
ni6cent landscape, overlooking the sun fash.

had forgotten all save each other. Those
months were past and gone-that dream was
over; and If the fair widow loved to recall it,
the awakening of the statesman had deliy.
cred him altogether from the thrall; and thus
it chanced that Barras, having given his
heart for the time being into the keeping of
Madame Tallien, was anxious to dispose of
the hand Of Madame de Beauharnais on the
frat favorable opportunity which might pre-
sent itself nor had he long to wait-TPar
