Never In my life have L witnessed such

weeks. l also met with intelligent planters
at all points, who were journeying from home
on business or for amusement. and they unan
imously testified, though reluctantly, to the
widespread destruction of corn and cotton,
vegetables and fruits, no: only at their own
homes, but in various sections they had seen

The corn in places is entirely destroyed,
even unfit for fodder. Planters waited. ho-
ping for rain; and so the blades aud stalks
have dried from root to tassel, having not
even shoot upon them.
Cotton is welting shedding leaves, forms
blooms and bools. Even copious aud contin-

A HurriCane.

A very destructive hurricane almost amour

country about thirty-fTe miles South West
of Chicago on Friday night last. 1t is repre-
sented as the most terrible and destructive
storm that ever occurred in that section. 1t
came up from the West, about 8 o'clock
and for a time the roar of the wind and thun-
der and the constant glare of lightning were
appalling. In the vicinity of Joliet, Dumer-
Gus ehimneys and fences were blown down
The dwelling of Mr.. a. G. Dewey, one mile
South of the city, was completely raised from
its foundation. and Mr.. Dewey and his wife
were compelled to find shelter in the house oi
a neighbor.
After crossing the river, the tornado seem
ed to gather greater force Forests were
prostrated, and orchards and grains of al
kinds were greatly damaged. The unhar-
vested oats and wheat were land almost Level
with the ground. Barns were unroofed, and
in many cases blown down.
The path of the hurricane was about foul
miles in width, embracing one of the riches
farming districts in the country.

the following are the essential features:
..Henceforth all women, whoever they may
be, on leaving their houses, must wear thick
wells, which completely cover their features. d
be clad i'll dresses of cloth or other suitable
material, without embroidery, trimmings or ex-
ternal ornaments of any kind They must
not show themselves out of doors simply in
stockings and slippers, but must wear half
boots in yellow morocco leather, or some 9TH

When they go out to make purchases they
are strictly forbidden from entering shops,
but must stop on the outside to be served,
and must not wait longer than is absolutely
necessary. When they are on the public
promenades, they must confne themselves to
the part reserved for females. Any woman
who shall be guilty of acts against the law
will be severely punished. No family shall
keep equipages beyond their means, and the
drivers must be most carefully selected.

tructive was on the 18th, in Wayne county
Michigan. Its course was from S. w to :.
E., and extended some three miles in length
by twenty-five to fifty rods in wedth a hot
suffOcating vapor accompanied the storm,
which, in many instances, withered the foli-
age on the trees No lives were lost.
Another was in Will county. Illinois, on
the Goth. By this forests were prostrated
and orchards and grains of all kinds greatly
damaged. The unharvested oats and wheat
weare laid almost level with the ground -
Barns were unroofed and in many cases blown
down. The amount of damage done must be
immense, for the storm was about four miles
in width, and swept over the richest farming
district in the country.
