| Prof. Huntington and Mr.. A. F. Clough
the devotees of science, who are spending the
winter on the top of Mooseianke Mountain,
in New Hampshire, had a rare opportunity to
observe the awful war of the elements dur
ing the storm which occurred on the I'd ult.
The following particulars are suggestive;
At 10 a. m. Mr.. Clough ventured out with
the wind gauge" and found that the wind
was blowing at the rate of IS miles per hour.
In the afternoon the wind increased, and at 3
o'clock he went out with the gauge" aga n !;
he was instantly thrown down, and was I'M
able to stand up the instrument. The rain
was pouring, but he managed to hold the
gauge for five minutes, and then after four
attempts, each time being thrown down by the
wind, he succeeded in getting back into the
house. This time they found that the velocity
of the wind was l0l miles per hour, and Prof.
Huntington thought if the gauge had been
properly held it would have shown that the
velocity was l2O miles per hour. About dark
their window was blown in, and they had hard
work to board it up; the walls of the house
are of stone, but such was the force of the
wind on the roof that every part of the inside
trembed like leaf, and so loud was the
roar that one had to shout to make the other
hear, although not more than six feet distant
| The rain fell in torrents.

UoIored Voters in wilmington.

WILMINGTON, Del, April 2.-The school
election in this city was held to-day. There is
no very general interest, but lively contest in
few wards. The cOlored citizens mostly avail
themselves of their new rights under the fif-
teenth amendment and are offering ballots. The
polls opened at 1 o'clock and in the Seventh
ward the first four voters were colored, the first
one enrolled being Robert Jones. In the Sixth
ward several also promptly presented themselves
and were accepted. The election officers in both
wards were Republicans. In the Fourth ward
the election officer was a Democrat, but he made
no objection to receiving the votes of colored
men, the first one being Gerard Robbins. A con-
siderable colored vote will be polled and in one
or two wards it may affect the result. The Re-
publcans of this city claim that this is the first
election where colored men have enjoyed their
new right under the amendment.

Selling Forged Draft.


ST. LOUIS, April 2.-Some party East has been
selling forged drafts purporting to be drawn by
Samuel A. Gaylord e Co. of this city. One
draft drawn on the Central National Bank of
New York for s2500, was sent by the York
County, Pennsylvania, National Bank to the
Bank of Commerce of New York for collection,
but was not paid, the fraud being discovered.
Another drawn on the Continental National
Bank of New York for $250O was sent to the
National Bank of New York by the Miller River
National Bank, Athol, Mass, for collection, and
payment was refused.
The latter draft was paid to shoe manufac-
turing house at Athol for shoes, but whether
money was obtained ON the first mentioned
draft is not known. There is no clue to the
forger, but it is supposed to be the same man
who recently had printed at Baltimore a guam
tity of fraudulent blank drafts and checks on
Bartholomew, Lewis & Co., of this city. 1t is
not unlikely that other forged drafts are in cir
culation.
