dences Of IFS fearful mission-houses gone,
utterly gone, and nothing but blackened
and smeared foundations told whore they
had been, Trees, one and two feet in di-
ainoter and even larger were up-rooted
and hurled many ds-robbed Of branch

tic, swine and other animals, were strewn
about the gronnd. On eastward it con-
tinued its wild work. Asst passed south
Of us, another one Of less power seemed
to form, just north Of, and bear towards
Lisbon, q village one and half miles
cast Of Mt. Vernon, Between here and
there it was met by fragment from the
main storm, when with increased fury it
swept north of that village, oyerturning
two buildings, fortunately vacant. The
depot building, eating house, and several
large grain storehouses belonging to the
merchants Of that town, were entirely de-
stroyed. 1t then passed on to join tho
main current farther east. The town is
shrouded in gloom; stores and all places
Of business are closed; men are going TO
and coming from the scene of disaster, or
stand in knots upon the streets talking in
subdued tones. Various unauthonticated
rumors are passed from mouth to mouth;
some assert that as the storm passed they
distinctly saw many human bodies wbirl-
ing through the air; others recount evil
dences of the hurricane force. One man
found the blade Of a shovel pillow so firm
ly driven into tree that he could not
pull il out. Meanwhile preparations are
being made for the funeral of boy found
in the woods, evidently brought across
Cedar River in the storm. Tho water in
the river was thrown for several hundred
feet.
West of the river five persons are re-
ported killed. Particulars yet unknown.
1t is also reported that several houses
were blown down and several persons kill
ed, north of Cedar Rapids.

east, and went as far as Mechanicsville to
get the telegraph news, as the lines be-
tween here and there are taken away
The destruction on the line Of the road is,
if possible, greater than here. AT Me-

from tho country. North, in the vicinity
Of Dewitt, from fifteen to twenty lives are
lost.
AT Camanche, thirty-seven are killed
and many wounded. The village con-
tanning about 1000 inhabitants, is entire

twenty-five lives lost.

DEFEAT OF THE HOMESTEAD LAW
The black republicans profess to be great
friends of homestead law, and yet,
when a bill passed the Senate, The other
day, and went down to the House, they
defeated il, although containing rs liber-
al provisions for the settler rs their own,
and guarding the interests Of the general
government TO much greater degree
They evidently mean TO have their own
inferior bill or none, which demonstrates
beyond all doubt the Observation-Disclosures
Of their professions; they care much
more for the success Of partisan meas
ure than they do for homestead law,
and the defeat of one this session can be
placed wholly to their account, as they
alone have done it. bet. FREQ Press.

UNAssAILABLE TRUTHs.--There Is Of
ten an unsupported tfifie TO be saved in
every household. II is not in economy
alone that the wife's attention is so neces-
sary, but in those niceties which make a
wel-regulated house. An unfinished
cTuet-stand, a missing key, buttonless
shirt, soiled table-cloth, n mustard-pot,
with its old contents sticking hard and
brown about il, are seycrally nothing; but
each can raise an angry word, or cause
discomfort. Depend upon it, there's a
great deal of domestic happiness in a
well-dressed mutton chop, or tidy break
fast table. Men grow sated of beauty,
tired of music, are often too wearied of
conversation, however intellectual, but
they can always appreciate well swept
hearth and smiling comfort.
A woman may love her husband deyot-
cdly, may sacrifice fortune, friends, family,
country, for him, she may have the gent
us of Sappho, the enchanted beauties
of an Armchair; but, melancholy fact, if
with these she shall fail TO make his homo
comfortable, his heart will inevitably es-
cape her. And women live so entirely
in the affections, that without love their
existence is a void. Better submit, then,
to household tasks, than doom yourself
TO q loveless home. Women of high
order of mind will not run this risk; they
know that their feminino-their domestic
ARC their first duties.

MOUNT VERNoN.-At Mount Vernon
the ladies are already busy with their inn
provements. Ono Of the out buildings
has been converted into a work shop, and
the hugo piles of lumber show that the
work Of innovation is going on. The old
and tottering portico to the house, under
whose protecting roof Washington has SO
often walked, is to be removed, 10 give
place TO a fac sin,ile Of il in the shape Of
a new aud stronger one. 1t will not be
the same one however, and many memo
ries and interesting relics will pass away
with the change.

DIABoLIcAL ATTEMPT.-We learn that some gen.
temen, passing the Episcopal church in this place,
early on Friday night last heard some noise in the
church. On entering it they found smoke coming
up through the register of the stove beneath They
then went into the basement and found it filled with
smoke, but could see no fire. An investigation the
next morning showed that the gas pipes leading
into the church had been unscrewed and that abuse,
some six feet long, had led to small quantity Of
powder, which was ignited, no doubt causing the
noise heard at first We trust the perpetrator will
yet be discovered. This attempt taken in connec-
ton with attemps lately made to fire other buildings
should not only our police to be doubly vgi-
lant but should excite every citizen to the utmost
watchfulness The villain Williams are fit subjects
for trial before Judge Lynch.

Mr.. HOLDEN: noticed a few days ago an edto-
rial article in the columns of the Democratic Press
(aliGs the "Tght Squeeze" as it is Familiarity call
ed,) intimating that it was in your power to have
prevented the election Of Mr.. Bledsoe Now, it
rather strikes me, that any man possessing three
grains of common sense, (and does not, like the
Senior Editor of the Press carry his forehead upon
the top of his head "where the wool Ihairl ought
to grow, " must know that you nor any other ed
itor could have defeated him, after the Press had
acted in the way it had towards him. And, be-
sides, there is not man in Wake county, with the
least particle of sense but must know if it had not
been for the abuse and Misrepresentation of the
Press, Mr. Bledsoe's majority would not have been
the one-hundredth part as large as it was Many
and many of the Oppositionsts, who would not have
voted at all were induced to vote for Mr.. Bledsoe
simply and solely upon the ground that he had been
so bitterly abused by the Press. And it is now my
honest opinion, as well as many other Democrats
whom have heard express themselves, that if it
had not been for the silly course pursued by the
editors of the Democratic Press, that George W.
Thompson, ESQ.,, would have been to-day the elect
ed Senator of Wake county. The manner in which
the Press has been conducted since its establish
ment shows conclusively to my mind, that unless
there is far better display Of its cOmpos neHtis
logic in its editorial columns that it is destined
long, to work the ruin and downfall of the Demo
cratic party in Wake county.
