Another hurricane has visited our unfortunate

not yet over. and the wind coming this time from
the South. swept over the island with renewed
energy, but happily it was not Of SO long dura-
ton nor 50 violent.
At the same time that the storm was unner-
cifully spreading desolation on its path. the hor-
ror of our situation was increased by heavy
shocks Of earthquake. and the CONSERVATION Of
the inhabitants at this combined action of the
Infatuated elements can hardly be imagined Hun
dreds of houses are mere heaps Of ruins. ami
there is none which has not suffered more or less
either from the storm or the earthquake About
5000 persons are without shelter and have no
means of rebuilding their houses 80 have been
killed or wounded by the falling Of public and
private buildings and by the de5r,S carried along
by the wind More than 80 corpses have already
been dug from under the ruins; the streets are
strewn with trees, broken fences, bricks and
rubbish Of every description.
There has not been any maritime disaster,
excepting an English bark having cargo of
sugar. which lost her anchor and drifted ashore
towards the R0cksail Channel. where, it is said.
she was entirely wrecked. Two steamers Of the 1
French Trans-A tluniic Company, which had just
arrived, have run aground, but the English steam

so deeply pervades the whole community.

Found Drowned.

the body of a mar was found floating
in the river near the Center street
bridge He was about sixty years of
age, five feet five inches in hight, san
dy hair and full round face. He had
ON black pants, two vests, one light
brown and the other dark, n yellow
and green plaid undershirt and gray
flannel drawers
No marks of violence were found
upon his person. There was some
discoloration on the forehead and
bridge of the nose which may have
come from the use of violence. but i:
was more probably the result of de-
composition.
In one of his pockets were found
S5S0,45 in greenbacks and two bag
gage checks marked Chicago, and a
second class ticket from Buffalo to
Chicago, The money was deposited in
the bank of Everett, Weddeil d Co.

Four Lads Horribly Plugged.

The Yankees are constantly pratins
about progress and advanced civiliza
ton. The following incident will
show that they have a few barbarian!
among themselves to tame and civil
lie. The wretch who would treat {
child as this teacher did, should be
imprisoned for twelve months for the
act.
The New York Sur contains an &C
count of the inhuman whipping of four
boys by the Rev. Thomas Hanlon, al
the Methodist Seminary in Penning-
ton, N. j., for the crime of possessing
t'bean shooters" The whipping was
inflicted as follows:
He brought forth 4 green rawhide
and ordered eight boys to strip off all
their clothes except pants, shoes and
stockings. The first boy, he laid the
whip on, VIZ Master j. V Decker,
who stood it for nearly twenty min
utes, when he fell to the floor from loss
of blood. We were allowed by the
poor fellow, to see the pants he wore
on the day Of the whipping, and in the
waist and hips they were completely
saturated with blood, which had run
down from the numberless cuts on his
back, chest and abdomen. Three of
the cuts in the abdomen measured in
length nine inches, and the surgeon
found it necessary to sew them up
The next taken in hand was Master
Fred Hyde, who was not whipped
quite so badly as the first, probably
because of exhaustion OF the part OF
Hanlon. Young Hyde would not
cry, and in consequence this wretch,
Hanlon, struck him several times
across the face, opening the check and
nearly cutting off the end of his nose.
The third was not whipped so hard as
the second, and the fourth not so hard
as the third. When he came to the
fifth the monster was obliged to stop
entirely. He had completely worn
himself out.
The first boy Decker, was helped
to his room and laid ON his bed by
three of the boys who escaped whip
ping, while Il fourth ran for a school
fellow by the name of Silbers, who,
being the son of a physician, claims
some knowledge of medicine and sur
gerry. He was met on the way by
Dilks, who threatened to kill him if
he did not Immediately return to his
room and say nothing whatever about
what had occurred. But it leaked
out, and i'll a few hours the whole
school, under teachers and all, were
up in arms, and threatened their in
human teacher with all sorts of ven
geance- A purse was made up, and
the boys started for home, having 10
walk eight miles in the heat and dust
before they could take the cars that
night, with their shirts sticking to
their torn and bleeding backs.

HELIGOLAND.
a Description oil the Island Coveted
by Prussia.

A correspondent of the Pail Nal
Gazette writes II see the Heligoland
question has turned up again, and a
few words of description may not be
without interest to your readers, for
there is no place like it on the face
of the earth. 1t is a tall, red hill,
rising straight out of the waters, with
a sand-bank on one side. On the
sand, and part of the way up the hill,
is the town or rather village. 1t was
Inhabited in former times by pilots
and wreckers, but now they have de.
generated into clearinghouse keepers.
Heligoland is the Margate of Ham
burg. Thither stream the citizens of
that rich city to gamble at rouge-et-
noir Cat least they did when l was
there) and to enjoy sea bathing
There is a regular season in the sum-
mer months, and sometimes many
passengers that are brought in the
steamer are obliged to sleep on boards,
and to go back again, the island being
full. Every house probably takes its
dodgers; but then there are not very
many houses. The bathers resort to
u neighhoring sand bank, a sister is
land, which the Governor, it will be
remembered, some time ago stocked
with rabbits, which began eating up
the grass that held the sand bank to-
.gether, so that the Heligolande:s be-
came furious, and talked cf shaking
off the English yoke. However, the
rabbits we're all shot, and the islanders
we're paeified, and nothing more was
said of their old Tristan Constitution.
Their Language is German, but they
detest that nation more even than
they do ourselves. They are En-
glish subjects; they are not German,
though they speak German. They
are Heligolanders, the noblest of
created beings all foreigners are skit,
which, in their homely dialect, means
dirt. The top of the island hill is fiat,
and, as we'll as 1 can remember, about
the size of the Green PARK, There is
a well known story.of a man from the
Far West-and therefore accustomed
to see land only on a large scale-who
paid a visit to England. When asked
how he enjoyed himself, he replied
very much, only he eve went OUT at
night for feer of falling off. In Hell
igoland there is really a danger of
such an accidsnt happening to any one
who, from the force of habit, should
continue to walk too long in any one
direction
