Many of the Southern cities have suffered
as much, or more, since the war, as during
it OF Galveston especially may this be
said. She has been visited by an almost
devastating pestilence. Out of an estima-
ted population of twenty five thousand souls
over one thousand have been translated.
One out of every twenty-five, and from all
classes of society, for Yellow Jack is no res
pecter of persons. And to this grievous af-
fiction has been added food second onlyin
following SO close on the horrors of the war
that Galveston must be indeed scene Of
desolation and woe

A STRANGE OCCURRESCE.-A correSpo1-
dent, of Cameron, West Virginia send.
the following TO the Waynesburg, Pa, Re
pnbhcan: "A very singular occurrence took
place in our neighborhood 1.-THE western part
of Alleppo township one night last summer,
some notice of which may be interesting to
your readers. Some time in the night ref
cred to, terribly loud explosion was heard
by Mr.. Griffith, Sr., living on the road lea'l-
ing from the place of elections for Alleppo
township, to Cameron. Mr.. Griffith de-
scribes the report as equaling in violence
that of the heaviest artillery, being sufi-
cient to shake his house very sensibly. Soon
after this noise was heard, large stump
with an immense mass Of stone and earth
attached, was found sitting on top of the
grass, in field of Mr. Long, near by and in
full view of the public road. About thirty
yards belo,o the stump there was hole a
bout ten feet in diameter, corresponding in
shape with the mass which had been dis
placed. The hole vas filled with water to
within two feet of the top. The stump had
been thrown up the hill this considerable
distance, together with a log about fifteen
feet long which was lying across the roots
The stump and hole in the ground are still
to be seen by any one passing the road.
What was the nature of the mighty force
that could have produced such an effect is
an interesting subject of inquiry"

An entirely new plan of reconstruction is
proposed by one of those patriotic and amia-
BILE gentlemen who represent the rebel ele-
ment, in the Richmond press. Dissatisfied
with the law as it is, and apparently with
no confidence in any of the theories of re-
construction, he thinks nothing would so
effectualy promote that object as the hang
ing of about twenty Radicals. This is the
way people have talked before, when they
had hardly escaped the operation them
selves. But will the Gentleman be satisfied
with about twenty hanging Radicals? If
so, the passion is more easily assuaged than
we supposed it,could be- Hang us up, then,
some twenty Radicals-let them be men
WHO have done most to maintain the Union
and then our amiable rebel friends will
consent to be reconciled.

JUST HOW TO DO IT.-An exchange says
Ifyou wish to keep your town from thriving
turn cold shoulder to every young mechan-
c or beginner in business-kill him off if
you can. Look up to every new conner with
seowl and discourage all you can; if that
won do decry his work and go abroad for
wares of his kind rather than give him your
money Last. but not least, refuse to pa
troniss your village paper. '"Then go to
,csd. ," There is no more effectual way to
rstard the growth of town than this.

A PoEM-"NnSic Of the Sed."-Our
former townsman, Colonel JOHN ID. Nun
FORD, lately read in Williamsburg poem
of his own, entitled emusic OF the Sea.
II WAS recited at the request of the ladies
of the Episcopal church OF that town for
the benefit of their venerable house OF
worship, which they were endeavorlng 10
repair. We learn that a very large audi
ence of the most respectable and lntelll-
gent people of the town and vicinity was
present, and that they were deeply lnte-
rested in the poem, which gave universal
satisfaction and received the warmest ap-
plause of the ,assemblage.
This poem it is the design Of Colonel IL.
to publish, along with some other OF his
poetic fancies. Having had the opportunity
of g,ancing at it, we were much pleased
with its flowing and sonorouS style, as well
as the aptness and elegance of its figures,
illustrations, and comparisons. A highly
poetic spirit pervades the composition and
rises in enthusiasm with the grandeur oil
the theme.
We are sure many Of his old friends IN
this CITY, where Colonel NJ. is so we'll and
80 favorably known, would be glad to have
a copy of his book. They will have a
treat in the poem of which we now speak,
