] Destructive Tornado in Massachusetts.

On Sunday afternoon a sweeping
tornado passed through the towns of
Paxton, Holden and West Boylston,
demolishing every building in its
track, and tearing up trees by the
roots. In Paxton it demolished the
barn of L. N. Parkhurst, and.blew off
one gable of his house. From there
it went off in a northeasterIy direction
and blew down the buildings of Mr..
Bigelow on the Old Town Farm
Thence it went through the woods,
sweeping all before it, and striking the
house and barn of Lewis Martin in
Holden, entirely demolishing both.
The village of Holden was next in it's
destructive march, and here five barns,
three houses and one carpenter shop
were blown down. Three persons were
injured, one, Charles Burrett, serious
ly. A strip of heavy stone wall, some
twenty rods in length, was completely
blown over, and large trees blown
thirty rods with upward of ton OF
earth upon their roots. The tornado
took but moment for its work, and
was accompanied by thunder, light
ming and rain The last heard Of il
was near Oakdale, where trees were
blown down.

Serious Charges Preferred Against an Ex-
Minister at Alliance, Ohlo-He Attempts
Suicide by Poison. 5n - @
An Alliance despatch to the Cleve-
land Leader on Friday, gives the par
ticulars of an attempt to commit sui
eide by somewhat prminent charac-
ter in that place, named A. B. Way,
who was formerly Disciple preach
er. The despatch says:
," Way. is young man of about
thirty-fve years of age, very eloquent
ia his delivery, is possessed of very
| pleasing cast of countenance, and
withal was looked upon as good,
honest, upright. man, devout Chris
tian, and fully competent to discharge
the duties involved upon him by the
ministry.
Quite number of rumors are afloat
regarding the man, and it is alleged
that he is wolf in sleeps clothing,
and by this expression it is put in the
mild form. .t,.,,s iif ge,.ft j. ssfa 81 .sss
Recently it has come to light that
Ways acquaintance among the fair
sex was quite extensive, and that in
several instances no good resulted
therefrom. But as charges in relation
TO this delicate matter have been
made, your correspondent. will not
touch upon it further until an inves-
tigation has been made.
1t is alleged that some time ago
Way went to Cleveland and effected
the purchase of large amount of
lumber upon false representations
This lumber was afterward sold
at Alliance at much less than its
original cost. Apparently his in
tention was to keep the money from
those it rightfully belonged to. How
ever, the fact of this piece of rascality
was discovered, and a compromise
was effected. aois4 hHe - t..z
| He is charged with the forgery of
notes upon parties residing at this
place, at Cleveland and at Canton,
and a warrant was in the hands of the
officer for his arrest when he attempt
ed his life.
He procured and swallowed large
dose of arsenic, with the avowed in
tention of ending his disgrace by
death.
He lies at the present time in crit
ical condition, and it is feared that the
attempt may prove fatal.
Later reports assert that the pre-
tended suicide was. ruse by which
Way sought to elude the vigilance OF
the officers who were in pursuit of
him, and that he has made good his
escape. z9a 32a- ftiie'' 8

WASHINGTON. Jan. 80, 1871.-What ap.
pears to be ono of tho most glarng frauds
ever perpetrated upon Congress was exposed
today in the House by Mr.. Dawes, of Mas
sachusetts. 1t has been known as the Chor.
penning claim, and has already been alluded
to in these dispatches. Towards tho close
of last session Mr.. John Cessna, mcmbcr
of Congress from Pennsylvania, offered
joint resolution directing tho Postmaster
General to settle the accounts of Chorpenning
as mail contractor, amounting altogether to
Sll5,CO0. Cessna seon,s to have n,auagcd
the case for Chorpcnning as q sort OF attorney.

was approved by the Executive. Several
OF the mcmbcrs evidently did not understand
it nor comprehend its Importance when it pas.
scd This is one Of the many Instances where
the government is robbed by the inconsidcr
ate action Of Congress. There arc nu,nuruus
claims like this whic!, go through and arc

uncarthcd the matter after Congress adjourn
cd last session. early in the present scasu
he had Il resolution introduced directing The
Committee on Appropriations to investigate
the sedicct, and pending the investigation
the Postmaster General was notified not to
settle the alleged account. The investigation
proved that Chorpenning has been paid or
his mail contract two or three times, aud that
there was not tho slightest just ground for
his present clnim Hill, of New Jersey,
whose name was mixed up with the nttnir,
made an explanation Which showed tha, l. s
action WAS based entirely on what lie learned
from Cessna. Cessna had not word to say
about it. The House passed resolution re-
