The scene within Bailey & Co.'s circus tom,
at Kingston, N. " during the prevalence Or
the tornado last week, of which we have had
some account, is described as one of the most
terrible ever witnessed. As the tbupderbo1t
fell the performers stopped Short standing in
the ring as if paralyzed; while the audience.
CHASTITY with fear, arose in wild confusion each
rushing madly towards the entrance to the
tent. Scores were stunned, and quite mum.
Der slightly burned by the lightning. Several
persons were wounded by splinters, etc. and
many received severe injuries during the rush
for the open air. 1t is a noteworthy fact that
the bodies of the dead bear no marks of vio-
lence whatever; not particle of evidence is
observable to show that they have died other
than a natural death. One person was very
singularly affected. He was badly burned in
the back and cut was made in his ccat exact
~ the shape OF star, and his hat was torn in
shreds from his head.

The Times iavors the appointment OF Sena-
tor John SheI man as Minister TO England.

THE argus, tue TO its oroveIling instincts,
still follows up its coarse attacks on Mr.. Blaine
and considers, no doubt, it serves its party
with zeal and discretion by such obedience to
its lower nature as well as gratifying its own
spleen. Many of its party-high minded and
honorable men-view its course in its true
light and make no hesitation in giving to its
conduct the epithets it deserves. Meantime.
Mr.. Blaine and his friends feel as though. if
the Argus desires to get to the lower Depths
OF low-breeding, it would be as well to let it
gravitate in that direction. and throw no OBJ
stacles in the way. So let "Peeping Tom
push on as fast as possible in the direction he
loves TO travel.
