HURRICANE AND THUNDER

URRICANE AND THUNDER
STORM AT ToRoNTO.-.A briet no.
tice of violent storm at Toronto on
Monday last was received by tele-
graph. From the accounts in the
Toronto papers it appears to have
been of very remarkable character.
OF the onset Of the storm the Globe
remarks:
THE storm threatened about s
O'Clock, a. III. and at that time heavy
rain clouds surcharged with electric
ity, obscured the sun. and in every
section of the city rendered the use
of gas necessary. Half an hour at
terward the storm burst in all its
fury, and, without exception, its vi
Olence was the most excessive that
any person accustomed only to life
in Il temperate climate could picture.
The morning had changed from a
bright sun- light to an ominOus dark.

-incipient premOnitOrS Of the grand
pyIotechnic display-threw "a weird
like light into apartments from
which the suns rays had been with.
drawn. and conveyed a vivid pre-
monitiOn OF what was to follow. But
Imagination could barely conceive
the change, as it developed itself IN
a hurricane of the most violent pro
portions. The lightning had sub
sided into occasional tiashes--the
wind, until now blowing gale from
the east, suddenly veered round TO
the southwest, increasing in strength
as it neared this point, and then for
about five minutes blew its fury as
if all the avenues of heaven were
changed with one misSiOn.-thc deS-

Many buildings were unroofed,
and others demolished. In the vi
entity Of the Queens wharf the rail
way sheds and similar structures
were torn into fragments by the
fierce winds. The repairing shop of
the Grand Trunk Railway. a brick
building about one bundled and fifty
feet long, was torn and shaken in
the most surprising manner by the
combined effects of the storm and
the lightning. a fash of lightning
struck one of the walls Immediately
before the hurricane had reached its
hight, unr0ofed the buildings in
several places, and overturned one
engine on its beam ends. The wind
completed the work of destruction
and left the building tattcred
wreck. Several men were at work
repairing the engine at the time, and
one of these, seeing the gaps made
in the walls of the building, rushed
underneath the engine for protec
ton. In a moment he saw Tho
heavy mass rise from its place ant
roll over on its side. In the eastern

The BAND LEvEE came of on
Tuesday evening according to an
nouncement, and by request the
dramatical part of the entertain.
ment was repeated on Wednesday
evening.
Three plays were performed
"Still Waters Run Deep" ''DOne
on Both Sides" and "COol as Gu
cumber," and to say that they were
capitally done VIC think would ex-
press the opinion of all who were
present. All the parts were SO
well performed that We will not par
ticularize further than to say that
the leading parts were especially
we'll acted, and great credit is due
to the young ladies and gentlemen
who formed the Dramatic Club for
the two stage performances given
us this winter-the one of this week
aud that given some six weeks since.
We think we are warranted, how
ever, in saying that the success Of
these performances has been in a
good measure due to the efforts
and good taste OF Mr.. G. II. Harding,
who has had the management Of the
stage at both Levees.
Through the kindness of the citi-
zens bountiful supper was pro-
vided in the upper Hall, and new
sugar and warm biscuits, among
other good things were served out.
The ice cream saloon, and Express
Office were well patronized, and a
guess cake furnished a chance for
the exercise of the Yankee art OF
guessing.
We understand the gross receipts
were about s166, and after pay
ing expenses the Band will have a
snug little sum to help them along.
Don't forget to attend the school
meetings next Tuesday evening.
Let all the friends of our Union
District School be present at tho

ENGLISH COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.


Efforts are making in England to
establish an institution where ladies
may obtain n thorough collegiate
education. 1t is proposed to estab-
llsh it somewhere between London
and Cambridge. The buildings,
with accommodations for boarding
and lodging one hundred students,
are estimated to cost thirty thous-
and pounds, and it is intended that
the terms of each year, covering six
months, shall not cost more than
eighty pn,lnde per scholar, including
tuition and board. The resident
authorities will be women. but the
various classes will be taught either
by men or women, as may in each
case be found expedient, the subject
being To secure the best attainable
teacher for each branch of study
The council is already selected, and

and n number of others have given
one hundred pounds each. There
is hope that sufficient funds will De

(toeether with the Camanohee) were the very
ones ngainst whom the campaign was chiefly
directed. Next, we have the word OF General
Sheridan himself, twice repeated, that Black
Kettles band was the one that commenced
the robbery aud murder, the rancho burning,
cattle-stealipg, train -plunderiDg, mail break
ing raids on Solomon's creek, and theresbouts,
early in last summer. Next, we have Gene
raj Sherman's repetition Of this Identification.
Finally, we have General Custer's assurance
that the party he attacked had just come from
the North; he struck their fresh trail near the
Antelope hills.
War is cruelty at best; war with different
race of men, Of different principles, manners,
and language, and hsbitually using these diff
ferences for deceit-with savage race, that
gives no quarter except for selfish ends, aud
has untold horrors in its records, crying for
vepgeance-war under such circumstances is
apt to be fierce and terrible. But it Is unwise
and unjust to endeavor to strike down the
uplifted arm of our own soldiers. They are
defenders, not ggressors-defenders OF the
frontier, of the settlers, of the families OF
pioneers, Of our railroads. and Of the general
march Of civilization. They are the guards Of
our national progress, the police of the Plains.
To represent them as bloody butchers is like
maligning our Metropolitan Police for putting
down a mob or unearthing a gang of cut
throats.
This device of the Indian Bureau is evil
dently designed as a counter. stroke to Gus
ter's victory. The waning prestige Of the
Bureau needs TO be supported. The army
and the agents have hitherto been rivals for
the care OF the Indians, and the Bureau reads
the doom Of Its policy in the recommendation
of General Grant to transfer it from the Inte-
rior to the War Department. We do not be-
lieve its devices for a fresh lease Of power will
influence Congress. ..
