The extensive Tannery of Haas,

destroyed by fire on the night of the
24th. Loss SIS, 900; insured for ST.,

Two boys were killed by lightning,
while standing under an elm tree at Of
tawa, H., during a thunder storm on the
24th. One Of them had at the time a
pocket knife in his hand, which was torn
to pieces, Their names we're Peter Kel,
ley and Alfred e. Collins; ages, twelve
and fifteen. Two other boys under the
tree escaped with slight shock.
The terrific tornado which passed
over portion of Ohio and Kentucky on
Monday, DIST, extended from Louisville
to Marietta, following in its general d.
rectlon the course of the Ohio river
Its breadth seems to haze been from for
ty to sixty miles The velocity of its
momentum may be estimated by the fact
that it wa. two hours in going from Lou
isville to Portsmouth, distance of 100
miles Bearing in mind that it pursued
the sinuosities Of the river,it will be seen
that its speed was UNNECESSARILY beyond
that Of the fastest locomotive ever run -
The movement of the storm was rotary.
1t included in its track the towns and
cities Of Louisville, Cincinnati, New AL.
bany, Lebanon. Loveand, Chillicothe.
Greenfield, Leesburg, Lynchburg, Ports
mouth, Lexington, New Vienna, Mar
'insville, Westboro. Athens, Marietta,
New Richmond, and others. 1t is i'm. .
possible to estimate the amount of dam !
age done; but it cannot fall short Of a
million If dollars.

The Columbus Orange Giri..Another Real
Life Romance.

The citizens of Columbus and visitors
at tn. Capital will recollect a beautiful
young girl, apparently Sweet sixteen, !"
who daily carried about the legislative
halls and state offices handsomely
wrought basket containing the plumpest
and sweetest oranges. Oh, yes, every
body remembers Elite, the beautiful
orange girl, and have wondered in what
nook she has hidden for the past two
months for no more her sweet face and
girlish form is seen in the Capitol, and
interesting clerks with great admiration
for the rotunda, are obliged to forcgo
glimpses Of the neatest gathered foot
tripping up the marble stairs.
Everybody about the State House ad-
mred Elite, but it was with a respectable
admiration, and if gruff legislator was
tempted tojest with the girl or make
light remarks, he was restrained by the
modest demcanor and pure soul look ap-
peal'ng from her heaven blue eyes.
ETH" always brought full basket and
went tipping home with an empty one,
and her scarlet silk purse filled with sill,
yer coin. She was the sole dependence
of widowed, palsed mother, and her
noble efforts to keep away want were
known, and made the fruit from her bas-
kct ten times sweeter
When the great Union meeting of the
Tennessee Kentucky and Ohio Lcyisla-
lures was held in Ohio's Capitol. the
beautiful orange girl was tripping about,

GENTLEMEN-I will not affect to CON
ceai the scnsibility with which have
received the letters in which you and so
many other respected friends have ten.
dered to me expressions Of renewed and
enduring confidence. These letters will
remain with me as assurances in future
years, that although | was willing to wait
even for another age the vindication of
my political principles, yet that they did
nevertheless receive the generous sup
port Of many good, wise, aud patriotic
men OF my own time.
Such assurances, however made under
the circumstances now existing, derive
their priceless value largely from the fact
that they steal upon me through the
channels Of private correspondence, alto
gether unknown to the world. You will
at once perceive that such expressions
would become painful to me, and Justly
offensive to the cUHntry, if | should be
allowed to take them in any public or
conventional form Of manifestation. For
this reason, if 1t were respectful and con.

As l predicted in my letter Of the
10Th from Chicago, Abraham Lincoln
was selected to be the leader Of the Re-
publican hosts in the coming campaign.
That he will be our next President is
admitted by all candid politicians. Even
tho Douglas men, by tkeir looks and acts
show that their case is hopeless. The
telegraphic rep,rts, which were sent
forth from day to day, will give better
idea of the spirit and and harmony Of the
Convention than anything that l can
write. While the friends Of various
candidates warmly urged the claims Of
their favoritcs, all declared that the main
object was to bring out man that could
and would succeed. While many be-
lieved that we could succeed with Sew
ard, Cameron, or Chase, some doubted
but when the name of Lincoln was men
toned, every Republican admitted aud
believed that he could lie elected. There
was one feature about the Chicago Con,
vcntion that looked little singular
There was u large number of Douglas
men there from Illinois, Ohio, and other
States, who were very anxions to have
Mr.. Seward nominated. They declared
that it was shame to set aside the oM
war horse and take FRESH one Their
advice was, of course, dsinterestcd but
somehow it didn't 60 down. After the
nomination was made some of these men
went to ''old Joshua Il. Gidd' Is" and
expressed great sympathy with him be-
cause he and his friends had been over
looked. The old man admitted that i,
was deplorable, but told them 10: to
weep for him and his, bu. for themselves
and their kin.
As We came through Michigan on
Friday night, after the nominations We're
made, we saw the tontrcs llazins and
heard the cannon roaring which showed
that though disappointed in not getting
their own choice they were still heartily
in favor of the nominee On Saturday
evening We witnessed in this place de- .
monstration that showed that the great
heart of the people is with Us. There
was torch-light procession, boutircs and
speeches, enlivcucd 10y thcs wect strains
of cornet band.
Mr.. Giddings spoke here last nigh. to
a large crowd and while it was evident
that another man would have pleased
them better still all MN appeared 10 be
satisfied that the Convention had d me
wisely. Mr.. Giddn.s WIS acquainted
with Mr. Lincoln in Congress while they
were both members Of the old Whir
party, and he declared our standard bear.

that Mr.. Lincoln's majority will be
