THE SECOND VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE OF
TExAs.-Tbey re affirm their opinion OF
1870, by awarding the Grover & Baker
Machine the Frst Premium, for the Best
Family Sewing Machine, at the Grand
State Fair of 1871, and six First Pre- miums
for Best Machine Stitching, double the
number awarded any other machine.)-
Notwithstanding the great efforts Of our
competitors to disparage the perfection Of
our machines, the public and the Fair As
soeiations Of Louisiana and Texas repeat
their convictions when opportunity offers,
The superiority Of our Maehinss By It's PH-
chase and drGrd Of the committees. The sale
OF the Grover & Baker Machine is greater
in Mississippi, Alabaman, Louisiana and
Texas than that Of any other, and the
awards received from the Fair Associa-
tons of those States double those Of all the
other machines combined. What more
proof can we offer, for what we so justly
claim namely, that the Grover s. Baker is
the best Family Sewing Machine, and the
f~avorite Of the people Of the South.

The Portland daily press., 1871-02-22

The news from Fran &c this morning con-
cernng M. Theirs proposition to conclude
peace shows that this gentleman is rapidly
achieving complete triumph over the Napole-
onic dynasty. In politics he has always been
an Orleanist, and his election to the Presden.
cy was victory for that family; and he will
not scruple to use all his power for restora-
ton Of that government. 1t will be remembered
that he was SO outspoken in his opposition to
Napoleon's declaration of war against Prussia
that he was compelled to secrete himself for
awhile to escape outrage from the frantic mob
who cried "On to Berlin" and spoke of the
war as pleasant excursion across the Rhine.
1t was not that Theirs had any horror of the
or any doubts about its justice. He saw in
war united Germany, which he labored to
prevent, and knew that France was not pre-
pared and would be overmatched. Theirs,
policy has always been war-like, and he has
done as much as any statesman to keep alive
the French love of territory and desire for the
natural boundaries" aud while he was min
lister of Louis Philippe, he several times al
most involved Europe IN war. He is man of
keen PERCEPTIONS, marvellous industry, an
energy far exceeding ordinary men of his years,
and an astute politician. Though the Assem-.
bly, has chosen Republican to preside over its
deliberations, the position which Theirs occu-
pies will prove none the less strong for the in
terestS of the Orleans princes

TERRIBLE STORM WITH LOSS OF LIFE.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-A heavy rain pre-
vailed in this State last night, and at 10 A. NJ.
a terrific southeastern burst GU the city, accom-
panied by rain, hail, thunder and lightning.
doing much damage. Hitherto the inhabi
tants OF California have been accustomed to
faint flashes Of lightning and low rumbles OF
thunder, hardly recognizable, in Intervals of
years. The flashes last night were vivid and
almost continuous. accompanied by treueu-
dous peals of thunder, and producing more
CONSERVATION than heavy earthquake. The
storm commenced about midnight and lasted
more than an hour. The barometer iell lower
than ever before known in this latitude. At
the corner of New Montgomery and Mippo
streets'a wall twelve feet high and sixty feet
long was blown from the top of three story
house on frame building adjoining it, crush
ing the latter into ruins beneath which were
buried from fifteen to twenty persons. All got
out safe or not fatally injured, except Mrs. L.
Leonard, wife of the Waterman at the State
Prison, her child, 10 months old, ,ughter IL
years old, and Mrs. Slogan, all Of whom were
instantly killed and frightfully mangled. Sew
eral others we're Injured. Three alarms of
fire during the storm aided to make the night
the most remarkable ever experienced. There
was more thunder and lightning in one hour
than ever before in San Francisco all together
The shipping in the harbor generally escaped
without serious damage. The storm in the
mountains was severe. Telegraph lines were
damaged in all directions.
