ing. This TACT was shown by the OVERLOOKING
OF tank under the root, the outlet of which
has always before been sufficient to discharge
the surplus water.
The actual amount of rain, a measured In
the guage, was nearly five inches, or sboua
one-eight part of that which falls In Q year.
During considerable part of the time the wa
ter DID not fall indrops, but apparently in con-
nected Masses which produced, by It's concus-
sion. deep excavations in the ground The
whole amount of water falling on the roof of
the Smithsonian building was nearly nine.
thousand cubic feet.
During the storm there was q continuous
roar OF thunder, resembling the passage of q
number Of railway trains at Q distance with
occasional explosions of great intensity. The
thunder undoubtedly was ct great elevation.
and we have heard of no cases in which the
lightning struck the earth in this vicinity. a
fact which may, perhaps, be attributed to the
connected streams of water from the clouds.
which offered free passage to the silent dis.
charge of electricity to the ground.

discharge took place 10 also further eyincod

THE GRATEFUL PREACHER.

A travelling preacher, once upon time"
Addressed a congregation rather slim
In numbers: yet his subject was sublime:
CTwas Charity, y sonorous was the hymn
Fsrvent the prayer; and, though the house
was small,
He pounded Justify the Sacred Word,
And preached an hour as loud as he could bawl,
AS one who meant the Gospel should be
heard.
And now, behold, the preachers hat is sent
Among the pews for customary pence,
But sson returns as empty as it went!
THANK God, he cries, with such an au-
dience,
Although my preaching has been quite in vain,
Thank God I've got my beaver back again!

was directly in front of me. As soon as
emerged from the head of the wagon, Capt
Allen rose to his feet. I saw that he had his
eyes on me, and when I got into the position
described turned square in front OF him, and
to turn all bystanders on their guard, TO Keep
out of the way, and that Capt. Allen should
also be apprised Of my attentions, l saio IN

liberate aim at his heart, as could best judge.

as 1t might recall part of my last converse
ton with him. Before fired, although it is
not alluded to by any of the witnesses, yet It is
true, that when 1 raised my pistol, Capt. Allen

Tornado at south Bend, Ina.

We learn from A. B. Chapotan, mer,
chant of this city, who has just returned
from Indiana, that a very destructive tor
nado passed through the village of South
Bend and vicinity on Wednesday evening.
It was one Of the most furious and devas-
tating storms ever known in the West.
Its track was about 200 yards wide, COM
mencing mile and half east of Notre
Dame College, and spending it's fury, as
far as could be ascertained, about ten
miles west of the village. It swept through
the centre of the town, demolishing or
damaging nearly every building in its
course. The roof and chimneys of sub
stantial structures we're swept off as if
made of straw, and many frame buildings
were ruined. Trees, shrubbery, fences, out
houses, &C., were torn to atoms and swept
of on the wings Of the wind. The court
house, large brick building, was IN
rooted, and the large trees around it were
blown down. One of the churches was
also unroofed. Several large brick build
ings in course of erection in the business
part of the town, were levelled with the
ground. Hundreds of residences shared
the general damage Of demolition.
The most serious loss to South Bend,
however, is the destruction of the large
bridge across the St. Jos ID River, some
800 feet long, and costing upwards of
$4,000, which was swept, and it will re-
quire long time to replace it.
The entire loss and damage in the vii
lage is estimated at 5000, 900. The extent
of the loss to farmers and others outside
the village cannot now be ascertained, but
must be very heavy, inasmuch as crops,
fences, barns, orchards, houses, etc., were
swept down by the terrible hurricane.
The Notre Dame College buildings and
grounds fortunately escaped all damage.
Strange to say no lives were lost BY the
disaster, though many persons were more
or less injured-two seriously.-JournH.

and that of the Meteor on the opposite
tack, by which they would steer clear OF
each other. The movements OF each
steamer were plainly observed by the
crewsas well as passengers upon other, and
the fact Of their coming together under
such circumstances cannot be explained
except on the hypothesis of an almost un-
accountable blunder on the part Of some
one. When Capt Mckay saw that col
lision appeared inevitable, he blew his
whistle as signal to the other boat to
keep out of the way, which signal, so far
as is known, was not responded to. He
then ordered his wheel to be put to star
board, which would tend to put her out of
danger by taking his boat farther in to-
wards the shore. It is probable that the
wheelsman of the Meteor, not having pro-
perly understood his orders, or by mis-
take of some kind, put his wheel to port
instead of the contrary direction, which he
ought to have taken. He thus brought
his bows in direct line with the port-side
Of the Pewabic, and the fact of striking
the latter 80 squarely in the side would
seem to confirm this theory of the cause
Of the catastrophe.
The Pewabic and Meteor both belong
to the Lake Superior line, Messrs. J: 3.
Whiting & Co., managers. The Pewabic
was built in Cleveland, by Peck & Mas
tiers, and came out in October, 1863, but
was not entirely furnished until the spring
Of 1864. She was 3 craft Of fine sea-going
qualities, and Was superbly finished and
furnished, being. valued at about $100, 900.
She is insured in four or FIVE different
companies for an aggregate Of $50, 0o0a
