delphia papers state that at the Central Sta

Jno. Corlies had hearing ON the charge Of
/ having had in their possession money which
was stolen from the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, of Milford, Delaware.
Mr. W. N. W. Dorsey, of Milford, testified
that he was President Of the Bank, and that
it was robbed on the 14th of August, 1864, OF
$40, 900, of various kinds ofmoney, $26 900 OF
it being in OF their own issue that Mr.
| Mccullough came 10 his house, asked him it
he was the Presidentof the Bank, and want
ed to know what he would pay for $4,000 of
the bank issue. He was told that the Cashier
had the matter in charge. On the cross
examination the witness said that, at the
time OF the robbery of the bank there were
notes of the bank in circulation that the
bank failed Immediately after, and has not
been in business since.
Joshua McGonigle testified that he had had
dealings with defendant, Corles, who gave
| him check on the Corn Exchange Bank,
which was protested, and that he afterwards
gave him $4,000 in notes on the bank at Mil
ford as collateral security for the payment oil
the debt.
John W. Adkins testified that he was
| Cashier Of the bank at Milford, and that to
the best Of his belief none of the issues oil
twentles and fifties put in circulation were
numbered over three hundred. Some of the
notes received by Mr.. McGonigle were mum.
bered over five hundred. The matter will
undergo further investigation.
SeUere lStorm.-The Cecil WAig of Satur-
day says:-On Friday evening of last week
we were visited by quite a heavy fall
of rain, accompanied with considerable
wind, but the storm of wind here was slight
in comparison to that experienced in por-
tions of the 1st and I'd districts OF the county
At Cecilton it was accompanied with hail
and was very severe. 1t visited that plac,
about 2 O'Clock P. NJ, and extended il
breadth about a mile and quarter. At tina
point it seemed to rage in all its fury, doinl
considerable damage. A wheelwright shop
belonging 10 DR.. Roberts, was prostrated BY
the violence of the wind. A stable OF S. p
Wood was blown down, killing one horse anC
wounding another; part of the stable roof be
ing forced through the end of an adjoining
dwelling, the property of Mr.. ]. Walmsley
A dwelling occupied by Mrs Beaston, wa
unroofed by the wind. The corn, in th
track of the storm, was much injured by thl
wind and hail, and fences and trees blowl
in all directions. The shade trees about DR.
Roberts house were very much damaged
and the top blown from one of the Dr's
chimnevs
Chesapeake City and the country for sev
eral miles south of that place, were also Wis
tied by vein of this furious tornado, tn
+ effects of which are plainly visible. Out
buildings were demolished, corn prostrated
large trees up-rooted while dozens of other
were twisted off half-way-up. Citizens, Ion
residents of the neighborhood, say it was til
most furious storm by which they wer
ever visited. We have heard of no iniur
to persons, resulting from the storm.
