Montgomery was lifted from its foun-
dations, turned over and dashed to
pieces. Himself and wife were Sc
verely injured; little daughter slight
ly; his son escaped unharmed.
But the residence of Mr.. J. G.
Bailey suffered most, both as to itself
and inmates, Mr.. Bailey being found
dead at the distance of 100 yards, and
his wife at the distance of 300 or 400
yards. This building encountered
the fiercest assault of the tornado,
and was better calculated to test its
strength than either of the other
mentioned, being new. large and
built of heavy material, but was as q
feather before it. Its lighter mate
rial, such as roofing, planking, sash
and window blinds, were carried far
away, showers of their fragments
falling six miles and more distant.
Even of its heaviest timbers, few
were left near its former site, many of
them being thrown to distance Of
hundreds of yards. One in particu-
lar, foundation sill, forty or fifty
feet long and some twelve inches
square, passed above some buildings,
200 yards distant, and fell in street
III broken, shiyered condition. A
reasonable supposition is, that this
building, containing it's doomed oc-
cupants, was lifted up from its foun-
dation entire, and torn to fragments
as hurried on by the whirling storm.

MhNTAL DISEASES In FRANCE. -The Paris
correspondent of the London Star writes .
Among other interesting papers which were
read at the last meeting Of the Academy Of
Sciences, one on mental diseases IN France att
tracted considerable attention From this
paper it appears that in 1851 there were no
less than $4,000 lunaticsin this country that
is, about 1.429th of the whole population,
Out of that number 858 cases only were
traceable to intense application. This
is, to my idea, avery significant fact, inasmueh
as good many physicians have a habit of
attributiug the greater mass of cases of lunacy
to overstudy The truth is that in France
dissipation, absinthe, speculation, are the,pre7
dominant causes of the majority Of cases of
mental alteration. - q

alone saved him. On the present occasion
theiattempt seems to have 5een confined to
theory, and the people declare that the
Mussulman was tortured till he confessed his
intention, and then executed. He was dragged
all through the city, and some say thatia spark
of life still remained in his battered body, and
was crushed outaby the elephants foot. This

is that the real offence was in forming, an
