Our exchanges from the country have
generally been issued prior TO the 5th inst,
while the eastern city papers contain only
brief dispatches from the larger towns, of
a very indefinite character. However,
we may regard it Os pretty certain that all
of Western pennsylvania, Northern Ohio,
and Western New York, have shared the
calamity about alike. The fruit is doubt
less universally killed, including grapes,
gardens, &C., &C. Eastern Pennsylvania
and Southern Ohio, and New Jersey, have
probably escaped without serious injury /;
while the West and Northwest, beyond
Ohio, we can as yet only fear the worst
and hope for the best, Centre county
our nearest eastern neighbor, as far as we
can learn, although sustaining much in
jury in fruit and vegetables, has escaped
much better than we have. In our own
county the extent of the damage is not
yet known with certainty but the wheat
and rye are injured to very great extent,
if not entirely destroyed. Under the most
favorable view we could take from the
opportunity We have had, we should say
there will not be more than from one
fourth to one.third Of crop, and it may
even fall below the former. Many of our
own farmers already contemplate cutting
their wheat for fodder and sowing buck
wheat upon the stubble, which, by the
way, is a very judicious move where the
grain is entirely destroyed. We would
much rather see our farmers engaged in
endeayoring to remedy the heavy loss we
have sustained by the destruction of the
crops, than hear them indulging in vain
and impious repinings and complaints of
the DEGREES of an all-wise and pro-
tccting Providence. We enjoy his boun-
ties without gratitude, and we should sub
init TO his visitations without murmur.
Yet under the worst aspect it can pre-
sent, we are in no very great danger Of a
famine. Should the season lie favorable
for the growth Of spring grain, we may
have very plentiful crop of corn, buck
wheat, oats, potatoes and vegetables. The
corn which was npped will soon recover,
and even the potato plants which have
been frozen off will sprout again. A large
portion Of the potato crop, however, is
yet to plant.
The best thing therefore, is to cheer up
and regard all things as the offspring OF
the Divine will or permission, and as oc-
curing all for the best"

AgoruER ToRSADo-A special dispatch
to the st. Louis Republican, May 9th, from
Jacksonville Morgan county, Illinois,
states that yesterday, most violent and
destructive tornado swept over the coun-
try, about half a mile south of the city,
desolating everything that lay in its path.
Sixten persons were killed, while large
number were severely wounded, portion
of whom cannot recover
Many houses and other bull dings were
town into atoms by the fury of the whirl-
wind, others were overturned, and still
more unroofed, and otherwise shattered
by the blast.
The cattle in the fields were killed in
great numbers, and crops destroyed. The
damage to property of all kinds can hard,

Ten THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR HoRsE.-
The Montgomery Ala Mail states that
Robert Smith, Esq, of Mobile, recently
offered the Messrs. boswell $4,000 for
the celebrated race horse Planet. On the
same day Mr.. Hunter, of New York, 1.-THE
owner Of Nicholas offered the same sum
for him. The owners of Planet took Mr.
Smiths offer into consideration beng
determined, if they sold, to have him
kept in the South. Mr.. S. made the ofle,
for a friend, probably Judge Hunter,
who desired To own the horse for breeding
purposes. This seems high price for :

three times the money for his owners
within the last six months. We believe
that, as he was on the day he "breezeC

A HORSE IN LUcK.-The editor of the
Clarion Democrat says that ine dappled
grey horse reared in that county, on the
farm Of Mr.. Fredricll Berlin in Beaver
township, and sold before leaving the
county for Sl75, is now in the possession
of the Emperor Napolean III, and may at
this time be bearing his imperial Master
on the battle fields of Italy. This may be
regarded as a streak of wonderful fortune
fora American bred horse, even in this
age of startling events, but rather deroga
tory to his Republican character to be car
rying the despotic ruler of France.

at Monticello, No. Two boys were ar.

other who did not steal it was put upon
trial first, and the other chap was used as

The other boy was then placed on trial,
