DrsrRucTIvE STORM IN 0HIo.-On the night
Of the slst inst, there was heavy rain storm
in Cleveland, Ohio, and its vicinity, but the
morning of the 22d was bright and warm. Du-
ring the afternoon, there were heavy gusts of
wind, and about shutdown tremendous storm
of wind and rain broke over the city, destroy
ing chimneys, roofs, sheds, and fences by hum
dreds and uprooting trees in all directions;
churches, hotels, railroad depots, stores and
dwellings were unroofed as if by magic, and
the air was filled with joists, shingles, tin and
zinc. A woman was lifted bodily up and drop
ped in the river, but was fortunately support
ed by the buoyancy of her dress, until rescued
by Il Mr.. Thomas Walters. Several persons
were hurt, but no fatal injuries were reported.
This tornado, which lasted about an hour, was
also very violent in Norwalk, in Grafton, in
Shelby, in Sandusky, and other towns in the
Lake counties of Ohio, doing an immense
amount of damage, but, so far as heard from,
without any loss of life. During the night it
rained at intervals, and on the morning of the
23d steadyrain in, changing to snow about
noon.

mittee have agreed to allow the free transpor-

CONDITION OF MExIco.-Hopeless confusion
seems TO BIO the normal condition of Mexican
affairs, and the same characterizes all intelli-
gence we receive from that country. But q
short time since we laid before our readers the
news brought 10 Charleston by the steamer
Isabella, and which purported to report
change of things as sudden and complete as
scenic transformation in a fairy piece on well
equipped stage. In one short week the Jaurez
party, from being on the eve of extinction, had,
by series of brilliant successes, become ey-
erywhere triumphant. We had, at the time,
our doubts about the credibility of these re-
ports coming as they did from the seat of the
Jaurez Government, which has so vital an in
terest in the ratification of the McLane Ocampo
treaty But we did not care to express these
suspicious. Later advices from Mexico not
only fail to confirm the Isabella reports in es-
sential particulars, but are in some instances
directly contradictory But a few days after
the arrival of the Isabella, another arrival
brought the news that Miramon was on the
point of investing Vera Cruz, and our own cor
respondent, writing from the City OF Mexico
only few days anterior to the Vera Cruz ad-
vices, although possessing considerable means
of information, and being by no means friendly
disposed to Miramon, has no intimation OF TINS
sudden revolution in the condition OF parties.
Lastly the Mexican news telegraphed from st.
Louis on the 18th inst, which was received
overland and must have been dispatched sim
nltaneously with the Vera Cruz reports, con-
tains nothing confrmatory of the latter, and
even announces rcycrses of the Jaurez party in
Northern Mexico. Under these circumstances,
it is not uncharitable to take the Isabella news
rum grdno, nor are we doing any great njus-
tice to the Jaurez Government in suspecting
that it has but followed the traditions of all
Mexican Governments, by magnifying for po-
litical effect at Washington some trifing sue
cesses into great victories, if not manufacture
ing intelligence out of nwhole cloth" 1t may,
we think, be safely assumed that the condition
of parties has not essentially changed, and that
the situation of the Jaurez Government is as
precarious now as all reports concurred in rep
resenting it but two weeks ago.-Mo6Ie Reyis-

QUEER xPLosIoN.-Recently a man named
Piper, residing in the upper end of Cumher-
land county Pa, met with serious accident
under the following circumstances :-Being af-
hicted with frozen feet, he was induced to try
gunpowdcr as q remedy. Accordingly he placed
a small quantity of powder on a paper, and
placed his feet thereon fire was then applied
to the powder, with an idea that the explosion
produced thereby would extract the frost from
his feet. This was tried twice; On the sec
ond trial vessel containing pound or two of
powder, near at hand, received aportion Of the
burning material, and an explosion ofthe whole
was the result. Mr.. Piper was seriously injur-
ed, one of his limbs and other portions of his
body being severely burned. The house was
materially damaged, and but for the presence
of two boys, the building would in all proba-
biity have been destroyed.

The Paris correspondent of the Courier dcs
Flats Unis gives some gossip of the French
capital, which is probably authentic. The
Prince Napoleon has postponed the ball he was
to have given in bis Pompeian villa in conse-
quence Of the death of the Grand Duchess OF
Baden. This villa contains an atrium or ante
chamber, filled with water, abathroom, and an
aquarium as deep as river. The rest of the
interior of the villa is so small that but little
room for entertainment is left, and the invita-
tions to the ball were necessarily limited to two
hundred. Among these were NJ. and Mme-
Girardn, who never go to the Tuileries, and an
Italian who does go there, and is much re-
marked, viz: tho Countess de Casanova. She
is said to be an agent of Cavours, selected for
political purposes, and to her destinations is at
tributed the recent policy towards Italy, in
volvng the resignation of the Count Walewski.
The Countess Casanova was placed first in a
Ioge at the opera, from thence she went to
Compiegne, where she labored for her country
in conjunction with Lord Cowley, and since
has been the highest in the imperial favor
She is the second Italian Countess who has
been conspicuous at the French court, the first
Nine de Castglionc) retiring, after a short
time, to Lake Como, to weep eternally, like
anather Lavaliere, the trumphs of day.

FEMALE MAIL ROBBERs.-A st. Johns N. f.,
correspondent of the Boston Journal furnishes
the particulars of remarkable systematic
mail robbery, which has just been Trough. to
light in that city. 1t appears that money let
tiers have often disappeared of late, among
others a letter mailed by nm editor from st.
Johns to Conception Bay. The editor, finding
that the post-oflice authorities would not prop
ery investigate the matter, appealed to the
Governor, who Immediately ordered an inqui-
nv, which has resulted in some extraordinary
developments. 1t seems that Mrs. and Miss
Shea, (wifc and daughter of the chief clerk in
the post ofiice-the Postmaster General being
absent in England, the chief clerk had charge
of the oflice,) and two servant girls who lived
with them, made practice of opening the let
tiers whenever they wanted money, and appro-
priating the contents. If they found bills of
exchange or foreign notes they destroyed them.
In one case, widow woman, named Woods,
met with serious loss. Some of her friends
in England sent her u ESQ Bank of England
note Mrs. Shea, not being able to pass it,
burnt it. Numerous other cases have come to
light. The discovery created great excitement,
the parties implicated being related to some
of the high Government officials. The four fe-
males are imprisoned in the penitentiary await
ing their trial.

SINGULAR SUICIDE OF A HoRsE.-A few days
ago, valuable horse, belonging to Rev. X. ..
Burton, of Weldon, was placed on the freight
train at Suffolk, on the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad, for the former place, and was tied in
a box car, the rope halter being secured over
his head so as to enable him to turn round at
will. When the train arrived at Weldon, the
horse was found hanging dead, his body rest
ing upon the floor, and the rope found to be
twisted to an extraordinary extent. The poor
animal had turned around and around in the
car until dizziness overcame him, and he drop
ped to the floor and was suffocated.
