TIE feat of enclosing $4,000 ordinary
and 800 SvO pages Of official dispatches
in small quill, and attaching the latter
to the tail feather Of u pigeon in such q
manner us not to impede the birds flight,
or to incommOde it, md not to cause It to
disembarrass itself of its precious burden,
was accomplished in Paris during the late
siege. The result was not attained by
one effort at first the dispatches were
written by hand on the thinncst paper
known; next the manuscript messages
were photographed microsCopically on
paper; thirdly, the dispatches were set
up in type first, and then reduced by pho.
Biography, which allowed Of greater dim.
mutton in size and afforded more leglbili.
~ when enlarged. Lastly, an important
improvement was effected by sending the
almost imperccptible messages on thin
films ofcOllodion. These films were ten
times thinner and lighter than the paper
already mentioned, so that n pigeon was
enabled to carry an immensely increased
budget without any additional weight or
volumc-in fact, with u dimnution Of
both. The system was conceived and
worked out BY N. StcinOcherS, Director.

Fearful storm in Delaware.
Correspondence OF tho Wilmington Commercial
SPAPoRD. April "a

Correspondence OF tho wilmington COMMERCIAL
STAFFORD, April "a.
One Of the most terrific tomatoes ever
seen here passed about six miles east Of
this town on Thursday last. 1t began Its
ravages near where the one ended which
swept through there two years ago. It's
track seemed to be from 8. Z. 10 N. W.,
and not more than two hundred yards
wide. On the farm Of Mr.. Waller 1t
seemed most destructive. Mrs. W. had
lain down on the bed, thinking to be more
SAFE from the lightning, which was very
sharp The storm struck tho house and
carried it away instantly, leaving the silIs
and the floor. Mrs. W. was badly hurt,
her collar bone being broken In two
places, and several Of her ribs fractured.
The storm next struck the stable, in which
were pair Of mules. The building was
taken away and not a stick len to tell
where it stood Mr. Waller was coming
from the field when it struck him. The
first thing he knew he was blown into a
garden, several yards away. Apple trees
10 inches in diameter, were snapped short
of even with the ground, and the trees
have not yet been found.
Stock poles; standing bare, planted
green last fall, snapped off even with the
ground; white oak trees, two feet over,
twisted short off. On Mr.. WalIePr farm
there is not a stick OF fence LEFT; he had
five stacks Of fodder carried away; also,
one barn, in which were stored eighty
bushels Of wheat, One house, standing
on blocks seemed to be raised up and sci
down again on its former foundation; tho
blocks on which it stands are driven into
tue ground, level with the surface.
