A SUCCESSFUL CHuRCH.-The Christian I

quirer of the 2lst inst, says:
"At recent sale of pews in Rev T. S Kings
ChuTeh In San Francisco, the net proceeds
yielded the sum OF 5000. The prices ranged
from S65 TO S610a pew. Besides pay ing Mr. King
$1,000 for ears services the society Will be
enabled to pay off a debt of Sl4 900 incurred
IN building the spacious church, as the gross
income this year from all sources will exceed
$4,000 This, we believe, is larger than the
income received at either Rev Mr. BE eecher's
or Dr. Chapin's church, and is a large annual
income for a church"

A CRUEL FATHER TAKEN IN HAND BY A
VIGILANCE CoMMITTEE-The Lafayette lind }
Journal, July II, says:
A citizen of the Fourth Ward has been in
the habit of maltreating his family, and beat
ing one of his children, to whom he appeared
to have an especial dislike, SO that the screams
of the little sufferer could be heard through
out the en- tire neigh borhood, leaving the marks
of the horsewhip he used upon the body, SO
that they were visible for several days after
wards. He was waited upon number of
with for his cruelty. He promised everything,
but when in an ill humor would abuse his
family knock the child down and beat it un-
til senseless. Forbearance having ceased to
be a virtue, a committee waited upon him in
the evening about ten O'Clock, after he had re-
tired aud requested him to dress himself and
step outside, as some important business was
TO be transacted Suspecting nothing he came
out was Immediately seized, gagged, thrown
upon the ground. his clothes stripped from is
person and stout man with a leather strap
give HIM a taste of the punishment he had
been 80 ready to infiiet upon his child A ply
sician was in the party, who felt the pulse of
the brute, and allowed The executiorer to lay
on as long as he thought it could be borne
without endan geriug the life OF the prisoner.
After he had received a just reward tor his
cruelty he was liberated, and informed that il
he did not wish to have a repetition of the
punishment the sooner he left the city the bet
ter for him. Acting upon the suggest ton, he
left the next morning, an d has not since been
heard from.

TRAGEDY IN BouHDBRooK, N. IA CORES
pondent of the Trenton Gazette gives the fol-
lowing account of tragedy at that place A
man named Coe Lewis, living near the locality
of Chimney Rock" had an alteration wit
his wife, on the Friday evening previous, du-
ring which he committed an atrocious assault
upon her person. On Saturday morning Lewis
found her dead in bed:
The wretched husband soon retired to an
adjoining room and applied a razor to his
throat; but this failing to accomplish the OBJ
Ject soon enough, he applied the instrument 10
MS arm, infllcting fearful cash. penetratin &
TO an artery, which soon put period to his
miserable existence. The melancholy occur
renee was first made known by boy in the
employ OF Lewis, who, wondering why he
(Lewlsl did not come to the store as usual, re-
paired to the house and made the awful dis
covery. The neie hbors, upon examining the
body OF Mrs. L found no marks Of violence
except upon her neck, which betrayed indica-
tions that she had been choked to death. The
general snpposition is that Lewis did net in
tend to murder his wife, but that the assault
was perpetrated under the influence of pas
sion, prompted by liquor, in return for some
real or fanced attront.

THE TORNADO IN OHI0-Fnfal RsshIt-The
tornado Of Saturday last, in the vicinity of
Cleveland, Ohio, is described as very deyas-
tatiDg in its co oAequences. The track of the
storm was about a quarter of a mile wide. and
Its known extent about two miles The fol =
lowing facts In relation to the tornado are
gathered from the statements Of passengers on
the Cleveland and Mahoning train, which ar
rived at Cleveland Saturday night:
The first serious danger done was TO the d wal
ing gof a Mr.. Mason, abou a N lie from the sta i.
ton. This house was blown down and Mrs
Mason so badly injured that she cannot live.
Her lin bs were shoekingly broken and her bod v
mangled. The storm then passed in "A south.
eaet direction, taking in its course BODY of
woods on both sides of the railroad track
Here the trees were torn up by the roots and
twisted off, as if by lightning. The railroad
track was covered with trees and trunks.
The tornado rushed into the settlement
about the depot. Here We're the ia ion house
strong built frame house, two groceries one
adjoining the depot, and the other across the
track and near by, and dwelling house
where Jeremiah Calvin, an employee of the
road. lived with his family. A child of his
had been ont berryiDg, apd as the rain clouds
came up, Mrs. Calvin took an umbrella and
went out to meet it and bring il home They
had almost reached the house on their return
when the tornado came up, and either rail
or large limb borne furiously along by the
gale, struck Mrs. Calvin on the right side of
the head, crushing ont one of her eyes and in
stEHtly killing her. The house was now struck
and blown to pieces, as was the grocery near
by. Then the station-h house was attacked, and
IN the twinkling of an eye ii was RACED To the
ground, with not timber or q stone left upon
one another to show where moment before
1T had stood. Its destruction was most com.
plete and perfect. The timbers were scattered
lar and wide, and the foundation stones were
torn one from another and thrown about like

Heary Loss By Sea We were shown yes
terday, the protest of p. Dickenson, master OF
the barque "Horace," which was freighted
with machinery in this port tor P. Rahm and
Joseph r. Anderson IL 90 and sailed from
here on the 5th of May, arriving in New Or
leans on the 4th of July. The protest states
that the vessel encountered number of wind
storms and hurricanes on her passage-that
her sails were destroyed her masts carried
away, and her rigging seriously damaged and
that on several occasions she shipped such
heavy seas that, in order to prevent her from
going down, the master was compelled to
throw overheard most of her deck load. When
the vessel arrived at New OrNans, the ma
chinery was not only incomplete, from the
loss of portions thrown in to the sea-, but that
which was saved was very rusty and in a
damaged condition. The protest is against
making the master of the vessel, or her own
ers, responsible for any portion OF the damage
as the captain and crew did all in their power
to save and protect the cargo.
Mr.. Rham had an insurance ON his portion
OF the cargo in the Merchants Insurance of.
flee of this city, of S2J,0 His loss will not
IN all probability, exceed half that sum
Messrs. Anderson Il Co. were also insured
but to what amount we have not learned. The
machinery was for the planters ef the South
ern States, and was of a fine quality.
