BALTIMORE, last Saturday night, was visited
by severe storm of wind, which increased to
hurricane at midnight, and was pronounced
by those who witnessed it to be the severest
that has been experienced in the city for sew
eral years. The Lafayette market, on Penn
sylvania avenue, which was nearly ready for
occupancy, fell with a terrible crash, startling
the residents from their slumbers, and until
the cause was discovered creating great excite
ment. This was an enormous structure, the
largest single market building in tho city, sup
ported by about two hundred iron columns,
and braced up with numberless beams of we'll
seasoned wood in every direction. In the same
quarter of the city the fronts of three three
story brick houses, partly finished, were blown
out, and at about the same hour the rear wall
of a row of new unoccupied dwellings fell car
ryng with them fou- buildings in the rear.
In all this destruction of property it is fortunate
that no lives were lost or personal injury re.

DEATH OF AN AGED MAN-Noah Hall died
in Buckfield on Tuesday, the oath inst, at the
ripe age of 81. Mr.. Hall was native of Fal-
mouth, and in early life followed the sea, sail
ing from Portland in the merchant service.
When Great Britain began her depredations
upon American commerce which led to the
war OF 1925, the vessel to which Mr.. Hall
was attached was boarded at sea by British
cruiser, and he with others was impressed and
served in British man of-war for over two
years. On the return of the ship to London
Mr.. Hall sought the American consul and pre-
scented him with the proof of his American ci.
izenship and through the efforts of that officer
he was released and returned home in an
American vessel, arriving in Portland during
the embargo. He removed to Buckfield in
1872 and engaged in farming. Subsequently
he served for time in the army and was
among the troops that marched TO the defence
Of Portland. Through life he bore good re-
port. His last illness was brief, and he sank
calmly to rest, retaining his faculties to the
last,

THE NEW MISSIONARY BRIG.-The brig
Morning Star, built by the contributions of the
Congregational Sunday Schools, to take the
place of the original vessel by the same name,
lost about two years ago, was launched at the
yard of Curtis & Smith, East Boston on Thurs
day afternoon. The new vessel is q littl. l~rtsor
than the former one. her keel being S8 feet in
length, her extreme width 20 1-2 feet and
depth IL feet She is described as of elegant
model, possessing great buoyancy of appear
ance. A full female figure in robes of flowing
white, fringed with gold, and an open book in
her right hand, ornaments the bow, and is a
fine specimen of marine carving On one page
of the book are the words-LIGHT, LOVE, LIFE
the other is blank. Her stern is oval in out
line and convex between the quarters and be-
tween the archboard and the taffrail, and the
latter rounded in it's blending with the mon
key rail. Her name and port of hail, with
tasteful scroll-work and devices, ornaments the
stern. Viewed end or broadside on she is a
beauty; every seam of her planking follows the
sweep of her sheer in exact proportions, and
the mouldings of her planksheer and the rail,
as we'll as her external workmanship, are as
smooth as cabinet work. She is sheathed with
yellow metal up to ten feet, and is painted
bl ack outside and pearl color inside.
The accommodations for the crew are for
ward: the house abaft the foremost contains
the galley, several stateroOms and store rooms.
She has half-poop, into which is built a
house 26 by 20 feet and feet high, which con-
tains spacious cabin, five state rooms, pantry
and other apartments. She has also neat cab
in in the after peak. The materials and work.
manship of the hull are of the very best; her
spars and rigging, ground tackle, boats and
mechanical appliances for working ship are
said to be unexceptionable; in fact, she is a
perfect clipper and it is said that In speed she
will cope with any vessel of her size aloat-
She will be commanded by Capt. Nathaniel
Matthews of Cape Cod, who recently had
charge of the clipper ship Ericsson.

Tia Proposed Industrial School for Girls.
We are pleased to learn that the ladies
this city have actively engaged in the work OF
impressing upon the minds of cur State legis-
lators The necess ity of establishing an indus
trial school for girls. Eight petitions, exclu-
sively by ladies belonging to different religious
denominations, have already been forwarded
to Augusta in aid of this benevolent enter
prise. All our Portland Representatives are
known 10 be tavorably disposed toward IT,
and may be depended upon for supporting II
In the House.
We believe that public feeling is now thor
ouybly aroused on the subject, and that no
further delay in taking the initial steps TO
wards the practical accomplishment of the
enterprise is jastifable. Gov. Chamberlain
repeatedly urged it upon the attention of the
Legislature, and Gov. Pelham is no less en-
phatic in his suggestions favorable to an in
stitution calculated TO prevent so much human
suffering. Mayor Kingsbury in his Address
to the City Council last Spring, earnestly Sec
onded the views expressed by the two Gov
errors, and he has since taken very active
personal interest in all movements il support
of the main purpose. As Judge of the MI
nicipal Court for many years he had extraor-
binary facilities for observing the wants OF
the unfortunate class to be benefited by an
Industrial school, and the following extract
from his Address is entitled to more than Or
binary consideration:
The legislature of 1867 appointed commits.
sion to report upon the necessity of establish
ing a State Industrial School tor girls. An
able and exhaustive report in favor OF the
measure was made to the next legislature,
since which time, as far as I am advised, no
action has been had. No section of the State
needs such an institution more than the city
Of Portland. Girls, having apparently no re-
straining home influences, from six to sixteen
years of age, in large numbers are committing
petty crimes, growing up in absolute igno-
rance, and roaming about our streets, espec-
Tally in the warmer months, corrupting and
being corrupted, almost without check
When brought before the Municipal Court
the only alternative is their discharge or the
Jail. Ii the latter, they spend idle time with
vicious companions, at the expense of the
county, and come out worse than when they
entered. [ recommend, gentlemen, that
prompt and decided measures be taken to
bring this subject again to the attention of
the legislature, and to present such in~uce-
ments as shall secure its location in the vicin-
1ty of Portland.

A return just submitted to the Senate
shows that during the year just closed, the
War Department expended $5s,395 for mill
tary freights and passage to the Pacific coast
by way of the Isthmus and Cape Horn. The
Navy Department, for similar purposes, paid
$248,357. The two make total of $306, 1852.
These figures have more interest than at first
night they might seem to possess, because of
their connection with the controversy that is
going on between the Treasury and the Pa
ciac Railroad Companies in the matter Of in
terest. When the act nnder which the road
was constructed was under consideration in
Congress, the idea was conveyed that the
Government, in fulfillment of its share of the
contract, would employ the road for the trans
portation of all the freight and men 10 the Pa
eifc coast. The railroad companies now
urge, with apparent truth, that the Govern
ment has not carried out this part of the bar
gain, and that their interest account suffers
In consequence. The extent of their loss may
DO estimated from the statements now Off
tally presented.

A CLERGYMAN ON THE SOCIAL EvIL.-A
cincinnati clergyman, the Rev. O. N. Ashenfel-
ter, in sermon on the social evil, uses the fol-
lowing bold language net these poor
souls sinners, and shall we not be like our
great Master and receive them? You may
leRislate to cure these evils, you may pass laws
70 punish them; but it is surely more Chris
nan-like to 60 to these lost ones, take them by
the hand, and give them honest employment,
show them that you take some interest in
them, love them, eat with them. The Saviour
did it. Get at their hearts, remove external
temptations as far as possible and then you
can speak to them of their salvation. These
may seem bold utterances-they are certainly
not often made from the pulpit,-but we de-
clare openly, as firm conviction, that our
Christians and church people make great
mistake lust here"
