Tine StcrEs .

One OF the greatest storms that has ever visit.
cd Ottawa was that of Tuesday morning last.
At about four o'clock in the morning, people
who had begun to sleep, Ithe heat having been
80 oppressive during the night that sleep was
impossible,) were awakened by bright flashes If
lightning, and deep and sharp reverber tion- Of
thunder. The sky was clear In all directions
except the northwest. where there was black
cloud lined at the upper edges with brilliant
white and gray, which are signs always portea-
tous of a gale. Soon after it seemod a. if
cloud had burst over the city. The water poured
Down in an uninterrupted sire IN, and the WIND
blew at a fearful rate 1t W., in short, bur.
ricane on moderate scale, to be sure, becaus, Il
did not sweep every thing before it, but trees
were blown down, chiInneys hurled from roofs,
houses untoppei, fences blown away, ana q in
and corn leveled to the ground
The damage done is more than can be readily
calculated.
Whole fields Of corn and small grain lie fat.
a. 1t run over with ponderou. roller; fruit
trees are turned over, branches split, and fruit
covering the ground.
Mr.. Hsmalle, on the west side, had splendid
grape arbor full Of grapes, and all is as if ee.
phsnt had roasted upon it,
Mr.. Hsthewsy. the nurseryman, has lost save.
raj hundred dollars worth Of trees. grape vines
and all sorts of other fruits
| A part of the roof of the Episcopal Church
was taken off and thrown across the street, fall.
ing within q few feet of the residence of Mr..
Walker; and had those heavy timbers been
| thrown = few feet farther, Mr.. Walkers friends
would hardly have lived TO know the cause OF
their death. as their sleeping rooms were on the
side OF the house next the church.
| Mr. Geo. Msnns residence, in Ottawa Centre,
suffered severely, the east gable end being blown
out and falling upon the kitchen below, crush.
ing through the roof and falling to the cellar,
Mrs. M. and child provden.ially having left
that part of the building only few moments
before.
As . singular coincidence, W mention that
the Congregational Church at Utica was bio wn
over, and the steeple fell upon residence al.
joining; and lady and her child had just left
the bed room and got near the bottom of the
stairs when the steeple fell, striking the house,
aud carrying with it to the ground the bed room
and the upper half Of the stairs.
4 Besides the above the eastern chmneys Of the
court house were blown down, and hundred. of
beautiful shade trees about the city destroyed.

The STICK PIAxO.-WAtson's Art Journal,
New York, gives this testimony:
We have personally examined the Grand Piano
Of Messrs. Geo. Steck Il Co. The tone is broad,
penetrating and expanding 80. lit comes firm,
prompt and decided, sonorous throughout, but
full, and ringing in the middle register, and sil
very brilliant in the upper octaves, indeed w
have rarely heard trebel more sparkling, melo-
dious, and pronounce. The touch is ~ perfect .,
We can imagine; combining lightness with
strength, and giving power withou. demanding
it from the player, while yet affording delicacy
for every shade of finger coloring.
Mrs. Baldwin, in Kneussls block, is the agen'
for the Steck Piano in Ottawa.

We think great credit is due to Miss Brewster,

no hesitation in saying that she is one if not the
best soprano singer We have in the two cities.
In the song entitled "A Path by the River Side,' u
she was perfectly at home, and rendered it we'll,
for which she received hearty encore.
She will sing on Thursday evening. at the NJ
X. Church, in this city. .....
