An Iee.Storm.

On the goth ult. some parts of Kansa:
were visited by a terrible storm of ice; thc
smallest of the pieces had the size of hens
EGG. and many were as large as a quart
bowl. Several ice balls of prodigious
weight were picked up. one weighing pound
and a half. Quite 4 number of persons
were severely injured. and live stock was
killed; some of the hail storms pierced the
roofs of the houses. The foregoing state
merts and the following extract are from
The NeaSho Register.
During the latter part of the afternoon
Of tlnt day rumblings of distant thunder
were heard. giving warning that storm was
approaching, and at about six o'clock
dark clouds began to gather in tire west.
The louds increased in magnitude ill with
in on half hour Of sunset. when slight
dropso of rain began to descend. At this
junctlre, the most magnificent. yet fearful
" ~pTtcntous scene burst upon the view
that the human eye could possibly behold.
The lcavens seemed to be enveloped in q
mantle of complete darkness. with the ex-
ceptbn Of a small space in the vicinity Of
the sun, and though the sun was in full
view, yet it afforded no light, and it was
as dark in town as a moonlcss midnight
We hardly know how to describe the APP
pearance of the sun at that time unless it
migAt be said to resemble one of its rays
when peeping through the knot-hole Of a
closet"

The Championship.

The London Times of the 10Th ult say:
a treaty of peace has been made between
Heenan and Sayers. They met together al
the office of Bells Life, in London, and
settled their differences.
The following are the heads of the ar
rangements, and which We're signed by the
principals: In the first, both Tom SaycrS
and the Benecia Boy are each to have a
belt. These belts, we understand, are to
be equal in every point of value and mag
nifcence to the belt" itself. and the cost
of their manufacture viii be betrayed ly
public subscription. 1t was also positively
decided that Tom Saycrs should never en-
ter the ring again. The most important
question which was settled by this agree
mcnt was that which affected the disposal
of the Champions Belt" This is to re-
main open or, TO use the words of 4 cele-
brated memher Of the 2. r., 1.-The belt Is to
remain where it j Is" The result is that
the competition for the Champions Belt
viii be open to any two of the fancy who
are game enough to enter the lists; but 1t
is not at all improbable that the gallant
Benicia Boy will use every cndeavor in his
power to get this prize into his possession.

made, | exclaimed, Now, l am even with
Gov. Seward This Is 4 naked untruth,
and whoever reported it is a most graceless
f~alsiier.

Of The Republican delegates on Saturday
last, has the ~fpllcving refernce to The wife
Of cur next President:
Mrs,,fIncolH received the delegates in
the south Parlor, where they we're several
~ conducted after their official duty was
performed. 1t will no doubt be a qratif-
cation to those who have not seen this ami
able and accomplished lady to know that
she adorns a drawing room. presidcs over a

the present, or will do the honors of the
White House, with appropriate grace. She
IS q daughter Of DR.. Todd, formerly ofken-
tutky, and long one of the prominent citizens
Of Springfield. She is one of three SISTERS
noted for their beauty and accomplishments.
One Of them is now the wife of Ninian W.
Edwards. Esq. son of old Gov. Edwards.
Mrs lincoln is now apparently about thir-
ty-hye years of age; is a very handsome
woman, with 4 vivacious and graceful man

talker. Standing by her almost gigantic
husband, she appears petite. but is really
about the average height of ladies.

Lincoln at the South.

The New Orleans Bee says of the Re
publican nomination: 1--WE predicted long
ago the defeat of Seward in the Chicago
Convention. We saw that he was opposed
BY two rcdoubtable antagonists-frst the
conservative elements of his party; and
next, the power and influence of the West
The former combatted his claims because
his candidacy would friehtcn of all who
were not fully committed to the ultra doe
trines of,the party. The latter considered
that he was decidedly weak in the West.
and could not carry any one of the doubt
full States. The two influences combined
proved sufficient to effect his overthrow.
But the Chicago Convention did not COM
pletc its work when it eliminated Seward.
The subsequent nomination of Lincoln was
a master stroke of political craft. Mr..
Lincoln belongs to the moderate wing of
the Republicans. He was formerly 4 Wing
member Of Congress, and then but slightly
tinctured with Anti-Slavery notions. On
the dissolution of the Wing party. he join
ed the ranks of the Republicans, and took
a prominent position in that party. He
rendered himself particularly conspicuous
by the zeal and ability he displayed in the
canvass last year for United States Scna-
0 rfrom Illinois, when he and Douglas trav-
el6d throughout the State, addressing the
people alternately. Although Douglas tri-
umphcd, he had confcssedly in Lincoln a
foeman worthy of his steel, and ever since
that memorable struggle the Republican
sheets of the West and Northwest have
placed Lincoln on the list of aspirants for
the Chicago nomination. He is a man of
agreeable manners, a ready and forcible
speaker, self-made and sclf-taught, and per-
sonally popular among the hards yons of
the West"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer makes a
foolish disturbance about Follett, Foster &

Douglas, whose speeches are copied from
the Chicago Times, as written out from
Photographic notes by his f%avorite repor-
ter. If Mr.. Douglas suffers at all in the
debates as issued, it is in consequence of
the superiority of Mr.. Lincoln as a deba-

We met on the street this morning

Catholic boys, marching in along procession
in their blue pants and sack coats, and new
palm hats. Here and there at intervals,
in the line, walked the dark and dismal
figures of the sisters. What a horrible
system is that which cOmpels these women
to allow the Pope of Rome to dictate their

Their whole dress is black and all Of

But II is said, They carry the gleamings
Of c~heerfulness and content upon their
mild faces, and are in spirit, as well as IN

Yet l could not help feeling sad for those
bright but unfortunate boys; their festival
