PHILADELPHIA, May 8.--ThIs az
ternoon the most destructive hail
s'orm ever known here passed. over
the city from northwest to southeast.
For nearly thirty minutes there was
a continuous fall ofthall- stones from
tile size of a pea To six and seven
inches In circumference. The dam
age done greatly exceeds that Of the
great storm In September, 1863. The
greatest force of the storm was along
Broad street and In the southern sec
ton of the city. On the south side
of Chestnut street, above Eighth,
hardly pane Of glass was left. On
Broad street many churches had
stained glass windows destroyed.
Windows In front of the Continental
Hotel were destroyed. Reports from
the outskirts state an almost total de-
struction of fruit trees which were
Just in blossom. At nine O'Clock to-
night the hail still remained IN piles
on the streets. trau He.t
The storm did not extend across the
Delaware River to Camden, and dis
patches from the interior say no hail
fell there. Many hotels were greatly
damaged, especially the Bingham
House, corner Eleventh and Mar
Iket, the windows of which We're shat.
tered in the whole front.

We have the pleasure Of announc-
ing, to-day, Judge c. q. Smith as q
candidate fofre-election to the Office
he now holds, and the dutieno Of which
he has discharged to the satisfaction
of the bar and the people. Besides
the claims to popular favor, based
upon Integrity, promptness and abil-
ity, he is entitled to reelection on the
grounds, that he defeated the Radi-
Gals when success seemed impossible,
and that the Convention vacated his
seat, upon the Bench, long before the
expiration Of the term for which he
was elected. These combined con-
siderations, we feel assured, will in
duce the people of his District to re-
elect him by an Overwhelming ma
jority over any competitor likely to
take the field against him.
We also announce w. J. Broaddus,
of Stewart, as a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Office of Prosecuting At
torney for this Judicial Circuit. He,
too, was among the first to break the
ranks of Radicalism, by defeating
one of its most popular leaders. He,
too, has been deprived Of the benefits
of The major portion of the term OF
service for which he was elected and
may justly claim q re-election--not
on this ground only, but for his mer-
its as man and his fitness for the Of
fee he asks at the hands of the peo-
pie. 18ll $50 ualeil at Hf

MCFARLAND is acquitted, as every
one supposed he would be, for the
killing of Richardson, the seducer Of
his wife. Whatever may be the law
In such cases, or the theory upon
which the law is predicated, one
thing is certain, that juries are not to
be found who will convict the man
who shoots his wife's seducer. Pub
lie opinion Is the law in such cases,
and human nature must be recon-
structed before the law, rs 1t stands,
can be enforced. In this case justice
would have been satistied-not by
hanging Mcfarland, but by swing
ing up the male and female Free
lovists who figured In the matter, as
accessories to the adultery of the wife
and the murder of her paramour.

THE Democracy of Danville, ILL.,,

language, in regard to the income

Resolved, That the income law,
so-called, enacted by tire party in

grace to the age in which we live;
that no freeman of the United States
who loves liberty and has n heart
and hand to defend 1t, eau look upon
the law and the men favoring It but
with scorn and contempt, holding
them as fit subjects for kings, emper-
ors and despots of the old world
they are unworthy of the name OF

The barren heath. the leafless tree,
The holluw hedge, the purling rill,
Retain pledge of nature still,
The fir, the laurel, box, and yew,
Give freshness to the wintry view.
There the brown mead, the swollen
mere,
The rime bespangled forest here,
Declare the wondrous Artist-hand
Which all this varied scene has plan
ned. Oh.
Look on the crownof the silvery snow
That rests for aye on yOn mountains
brow, -
While streams glide down TO the va
ley beneath,
Waters of life from the springs OF
death
When my head like his is withered
and hoar, 81.
May my heart its fountains of love
still pour!

spread
O'er the stifiened earth, like a sheet
DER the dead.
Now the golden days of autumn have
fled
The Frost-king binds with icy chain ;
But spring comes, ,queen-like crowned
with flowers,
And the tyrant yields to her gentle
reign, Cl
And mets at her feet into penitent
showers
And fair Nature released from her
prisOning tomb,
Comes wreathed diyinely with odor-
Gus bloom!
Thus the shroud shall change Its sad
glimmer OF White
For the riinbowhucs ofcelestial light
A garment meet Tor the honored
guest
Whom the master shall bid to His
wedding teast!,
