DEsraucr1vE SroRM.-This village

DEeTRUCTIvE SToRM.-Thls village
and vicinity was visited on Wednesday night of
last week with one of the most severe storms that
has ever occurred in this section The rain fell in
torrents for nearly ten hours, accompanied by
the most terrific thunder and lightning, it is
certainly remarkable that the loss of property was
not ten times greater. 1t is estimated that from
20 to "a inches of water fell during the storm
Both the mill dams in this village and every bridge
over the Dowaglac Greek were washed away. Mr.
Spalding's dam, about mile east of the village,
went first, that of Mr. Colby's soon after, and the
water came rushing and roaring down, carrying
along with it bridges, trees, hay cocks and in fact
every thing movable that stood in the way of its
mad current. At one time the Railroad bridge and
Beckwith's foundry and machine shop was in
imminent danger, but through the active efforts
of our citizens, and the strength of the bridge
both were saved.
The night express train on the NJ. C. R. R. ran
into q culvert, about three miles west of this
village, which was washed away, throwing the
train off the track, smashing up the baggage car
and one or two passenger cars, and seriously,
though not fatally injuring three or four passen-
gers. We did not visit the scene of the disaster,
but understand, that one or two of the cars were
turned completely bottom-side up 1t is certainly
Providential that no lives were lost The Railroad
bridge pear Pokagon was also carried away
Trains were delayed about IL hours.
But one building that we can hear of was struck
by lightning in this village, and that was but
slightly damaged. In Decatur, ten miles east of
us, two buildings we're considerably damaged. In
Vandalia, Cass County, a barn was struck and
entirely consumed Near Cassapolis horse owned
by David Gawthrop was killed, and wheat stack
burned. We hear of even greater damage being
done in other places. No estimate can be placed
upon the damage done to the mill dams, bridges,
&C. II is fortunate that we have not the loss of
life to add to the other disasters.

.Ifthersts any man or woman whose ps
triotism is not fully aroused in his or her
bosom, We would recommend visit 70 NO.
95 Bank street, the depot Of the Soldiers
Aid Society. We passed very pleasant
hour there day or two since. The Tespec'-
cd President, Mrs. Rouse, was giving cir
culars and instructions 70 number OF la
dies from adjoining towns. The Secretary
was busy al her desk answering letters Of
inquiry and acknowledging by letter the re-
ceipt OF hospital stores IRON some euxilliaiy
societies. At one end OF the store were
two ladies with sleeves rolled up, bus
lily engaged transferring jellies and pre-
serves ofvarit US kinds from bowls and tum
blers into tin cans, while another was seal
ing up the cans as fast as fllei. Others
were unpaoking boxes just from Madison,
Wellington and other points Yarn was
being given out TO women who employ their
leisure time in knitting socks for the soldiers.
The Society aleofui nishes tin fruit cans to any
who feel disposed 10 take and fill them with
preserves or fruit. But what was the most ct
tractive 10 systematic eye, was the business
like way in which everything is conducted.
To look at the long shelves on one side Of
the store on which were arranged packages
rfshirts, drawers, socks, sheets, pillOw-easss,
eye shades and many other articles for the
sick and wounded, all neatly marked, one
would thing that these ladies had "kept
store" for years. On the opposite side are
large packing cases ranged on 8 platform
used as "reeeiving boxes" These are all
neatly marked with the name of the ar
ticles they are designed to receive. To look
over the letter book in which are filed
letters from COlonels, Captains and Sur
geons, good idea can be had of the extent
of the labors of this band of noble hearted
women, and what work of mercy is stheirs.
We are truly glad to know that at last
their efforts are being noticed by our solid
men-men well able TO give their dollars to
aid this cause While We remained well
known river man came in and handed the
Treasurer fis check for S25. Another gen
tleman called and took $40 worth of tickets
for the concert to be given next Tuesday
evening for the benefit Of this Associations.
God speed the Soldiers Aid Society o
Cleveland. Let it be fully sustained as Ions
as the war shall last.

SoLoMoN's TEKPLE.-We advise al per-
sons who wish to gain distinct idea Of
the ground plan, the various courts, altars,
and pOrches, and the general appearance
of sOlomOn's Temple both within and with
out, to visit the modelnow on exhibition in
Chaplin Hall. As 8 work Of ingenuity this
model is quite remarkable, but its unques-
tionable resemblance in many particulars
and these the most important-to the
temple built for Che worship Of the Jews,
and minutely described in the Epistle of
the aebreWs, in relation to the propitiation
and priesthood Of Christ, gives it an in
tersst both for the Jew and the Christian,
which no mere work Of art could ever ex-
cite. Itis impossible from mere disgrams
or verbal description, to form so accurate a
notion Of the Temple in its complicated
structure, as is given by this tangible rep
rssentation. We regard this model as
valuRble commentary on the Jewish ritual
and various parts Of the New Testament
relating thereto. It should be visited BY
Sabbath Schools and Bible Glasses, and BY
all Bible Students whether young or old.
We are 50 we'll satisfied with the substan-
tial accuracy Of the model that We omit
criticism upon It. II has been examined
BY the Gisrgymen Of this city, of which q
number have pronounced In its favor from
their sacred desks. a1I14 2
