Fearful uud Des,ruc,ive storms.

On Friday evening last this place and
vicinity, north and northwest OF us,
was visited by one of the most terrible
rain storms ever before witnessed. The
rain fell in torrents for some hours,
without the least cessation, accompanied
by the most vivid lightning and pealing
thunder. Our streets were Hooded, and
presented more the appearance of mad
deDed water courses than of dry and
elevated streets. Early on Saturday
morning our people were astir to see
the results of the storm, and in many
instances they were sad enough. The
destruction of crops, fences, &c, had
been fearful all along the creek
valley, and all along many of the
larger runs it was equally Sc. Thou
sands upon thousands of wheat and
rye, that had been cut and shock
ed upon the bottom lands, were carried
off and passed down Ten Mile creek to
lodge on trees and fences and fields
miles below where it started Some
farmers lost as high as three and four
hundred dozens of grain, and others all
they had. Corn fields along the creek
and big runs were leveled to the gronnd
and covered with mud, brush and logs.
The same may be said of oats and grass
fields. Many fences were taken away,
and the destruction to bridges and mill.
dams has been very great. The storm
on Friday night seems to have been
heaviest north and northwest of us, and
the damage south of this place was
quite limited. 1t made our heart ache
for some poor but industrious men, IN
and about this place, whose whole sum-
mer's work was thus swept away III
few hours time.
Again, on Sabbath afternoon, another
very heavy rain visited our town, with
the heavier wing of il to the Sou' b.
This caused great destruction in regions
that had escaped Tho storm of Friday
night. The large stone dam at what
was known as "LautZ's distillery,"
about Que and fourth miles below our
town, was swept away on Sabbath
This, We fear, will fall heavily on our
friend James Mendenhall, who was in
possession of the property. All the
dams on the same stream-Laurel run
were carried off, while many of the
grain and grass fields We're destroyed or
greatly damaged
We have heard that on Bates Fork of
Ten Mile, the destruction of property
was perhaps greater than any place else.
The damage dene the Raff's creek val
ley was also worry great. We have nei.
ther time nor space to enter into the
particulars of the damage done by these
great rain storms, but we can say it sur
passes Anything of the kind ever before
experienced in this part of the country.

Exposition at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati is to have a grand exposi-
ton, commencing August Sd and con-
tinuing to the 7th, for the benefit of the
manufacturers of woolen goods and
other textile fabrics.
The Gazette of that city says that a
fair exhibition of Western manufactures,
particularly of woolen goods, will dis
play an excellence that few, even in the
West, have just conception of, and
will do much to give them that rank in
the general trade of the country to
which they are entitled. The OCCASION
will draw dealers from the South and
West, and from other parts of the coun-
try. The merchants and manufacturers
of Cincinnati have undertaken the labor
and expense of this exposition, expect
ing all in the trade to avail themselves
of its benefits. They offer premium
list amounting in the aggregate to S5OOO'
The list of articles comprises jeans,
hanHels, tweeds, cassimers, satinetsI
meltons, repellsnts, ladies' cloaking
cloths, beavers, linseys, shawls, blan'
kets, cotton, fabrics, osnaburgs, yarns,
carpets, wool, and a miscellaneous list
including silk, hemp, worsted, cordage,

Coolie Labor.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing upon the subject of
Chinese immigration, fatty denies the
propriety of the eulogies upon Chinese
character passed by persons Interested
in the introduction of coolies. He as
scrts from personal knowledge that
they have but one merit, that of in
dustry, and all the vices, deceit, treach-
ery, all inOrdinate love of drinking and
gaming. etc. Finally he contends, they
cannot be Americanized.
Another writer asserts that the Chi
nese cannot be made to do AS we'll in
other parts of our country as in some
parts Of California. He says that while
Chinese labOrers do very well in Cali
fornia, where they are governed by
beneficial and protective societies, and
are within reach of their own homes,
yet when taken to the interior of the
country, and remsved from all restraint,
they become lazy and disobedient. The
coolies who were taken to the Sandwich
Islands in 1852, it is reported, behaved
very badly, never working willingly,
and sitting up all night to drink and
gamble. IfsColded, they took great of
fence, and sometimes attacked the over
seers with knives, tied to long poles.
The discussion of this question will
continue to grow in interest as the
probabilities for the general introduc-
tion of coolie labor throughout the
South increases. That among some
classes of laboring men the idea will be
unpopular, there can be no doubt. For
example, the shoemakers az Stonington,
Conn. have passed resolutions disap.
proving of the introduction of Chinese
laborers into the United States, and
have prepared a petition on the subject
to the President, which is to be signed
by all the laboriRg men Of the country.

CouIdn,t Gel Rid Of Her.

The McConnellsville Herald relates
that NAV, designated as M. desert
ing his wife and five children in Wheel
ing, last August, came back to Athens
county, where they had lived several
years before, and hired ont as farm
hand. Frem there the wife received a
letter in June last, announcing his
death, and stating that he died so poor
that he had TO be buried by his friends.
She therefore set about preparing for q
journey TO the grave of her husband,
with view of marking the spot by q
tombstone. Arriving last Friday week,
clothed in mourning, at the house from
which the news of her husbands death
was sent, she asked a young lady at
the door If that was where Mr.. NJ
died, and was somewhat asronished and
delighted TO have answer that he was
ont in the wheat field, alive and well.
why, he's my husband " said the over
J"yed wife. This seemed to stagger the
young lady, and the wife was astounded
finally to learn that the marriage of this
young lady to her unfaithful husband
was to have taken place last Sunday
He had written that he died in indigen,
circumstances, thinking that his wife
would then have no anxiety concerning
his effects, which he thought would be
the only motive to bring her in The
neighborhood. The marriage was hap
PLY prevented. and the tombstone un
happily unused.

Kentucky.

Kentucky has a State election on
Monday. A State Treasurer and mem
bers of the Legislature are to be chosen.
That the result will be Democratic
success there is not the slightest doubt.
At the same time, the unanimity which
has heretofore been almost reached in
Kentucky elections will not be ap-
preached in this. The Democratic
brethren, for want of formidable ene
my have been fighting each other Justify
all over the State, and it has been found
impossible to heal their dissensions. We
may therefore expect the Democratic
vote on Monday to be greatly decreased.

New aud Dangerous Couaterfeit

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial says that there has been q
new and dangerous counterfeit slo
ereenback set afoat in New York, OF
which the folio wing description is given:
The following are the rules for detect
ing the dangerous teu-dollar counter
feits: The borders of the counterfeits
match as we'll as the borders of the or
iginal. The engraving Of the border is
lust as good, ifnot better, than the en-
craving on the genuine note. In the
original the shading around the "lG' in
the medallion, appears like fine net
work, and runs Close up to the figures.
In the counterfeit note this shading is
picked up, and becomes coarse as it
reaches the figures, forming light
streak or a circular haze, similar
to that about the moon before rain.
There is no haze on the genuine note.
This is slight point for detection.
A clearer one is the fact that in the
original notes, within the light circle
running under the figure $40" there are
three and third dots on the left of the
figure 80" 10 the counterfeit bill the
one third dot is missing. But an infal.
lible mark Of distinction is found under
the left wing of the eagle. In the gen.
uiae notes are four distinct rows of
feathers under the wing; in the conn
terfeit these rows of feathers are unde-
fined, aud this seems to be the only
weak spot in the whole engraving.
The dots after the initials of Spinners
name are no surety of the genuineness
of the note. Some of the counterfeits
bave three dots, and some have not. 1t
would be an easy matter to place these
dots on the counterfeit plate.
The first counterfeit purported to be
of the new series. No. 53, letter d; but
there are Others.
There is one marked No. %, letter D,
with small figure "5" under the 3D."
The only difference between the two
counterfeit notes is that the "53' has
no periods after Spinner's initials, and
the "23' has.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Spinner will
order the destruction Of the original
plates and the issue of new notes.
