ToRNADo.--A very severe tornado passed
over the lower section of St. Mary's coun-
ty on Thursday evening of last week, leav-
ing ruin and desolation in its track. At
Fairfield; the residence of James Scofeld,
Esq, of St. Inigoe's district, Mr. Sco6eld
saw the immense cloud approaching, and
was in the act Of leaving his store, when
the wind struck it, and instantly the build
iug was crushed to the ground. A large
oak tree standing in front of the store door
was taken up by the roots and hurled to
some distance. Mr.. Scofeld received quite
severe confusion on his right hand, sup
posed to have been inflicted by filling tim
ber. All the houses, except the dwelling
on Mr.. Langley's farm on the Chesapeake,
were blown down and out into the bay,
carrying with them cnrn, meat and every
thing Of an eatable character. Maryland

HURRICANE IN EAST TENNEssEE.-Ac-
cordiug to the accounts, truly terrific
and rather wonderful storm burst upon
Sweetwater valley on the 10th instant.
For eight miles along the creek houses and
barns were blown down or unroofed,
among the former, several of brick and
one brick church; orchards were pros
trated, and the entire field over which the
storm passed, about eight miles long by an
average width of a half mile, was devas-
tated. After the storm was over friends
from all directions gathered in to relieve
the sufferers. Seventy-ive men set to
work and built about FIVE miles of fencing
In one day. Iu order to save the crops,
they ran one fence around about ten thou
sand acres Of growing grain and grass
Though people were in many of the pros
trated houses, not a life was lost.

The GREAT HAIL SToRM.-There were
some peculiarities attending the great hail
storm in Mississippi on the l4th that are
worthy of note. At Forrest the stones
measured 81 inches In circumference. and
the fall inflicted serious damage to dwell
ings and growing crops. Shingles upon
the roofs of houses were split, even tin
roofs were ruined, the hailstones cutting
gashes in them from three to six inches in
length. Window panes and skylights, of
course, were shattered into fragments. At
other points similar disastrous effects were
produced.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-04-29

was confession of premedtated crime to
insert. During the year ending July lst,
1870, there was disbursed to the poor out
side of the alms-house $19,114 during
the last year there has been disbursed for
the poor outside of the alms>house only
$6,464.
These items respectively go to make up
the sum of SOL 900 spent by one admin
istration and $4,000 spent by the other.
The old management then could support
the paupers at $3.50 each and have $l9,-
900 to relieve the necessities of those out
side the alms-house, while the present ad-
ministration, spending $l7S for each pau
per, only had $1,000 for the relief of the
outside poor. This is the result which ape
pears from the most favorable statement
that can be made in relation to the man
agement OF the most economical and best
controlled of all the subjects committed to
our municipal authorities, and it is made
too by the very managers themselves in
the most highly colored and favorable
light which partizan zeal could invent.
If this is your paraded economy what
must be your waste and extravagance. IF
this is your honesty what must the roguery
be. If this is your virtue how horrible
must be your vices.
But after all what is the real pride and
boast of this pretended economical admin
istration? it is that they have clothed and
fed a smaller number of poor and wretched,
possibly degraded men, women and chill
dren than were relieved before. The num-
ber of such wretched sufferers was only an
average in the year 1869 and 70 of 3S2,
a number small enough in all conscience
when we remember the size of our city as
we'll as the misery, poverty and distress of
the poor people who throug here. What
would we think OF the mercenary wretch
who boasted that be had reduced his
annual expenses one quarter by driving
one OF his four children iuto the street to
perish by starvation? This is in fact
the shameful plea here presented for the
universal msrule and extravaganza of this
outrageous Council.
The boast of an alms-house manage
ment should be that it economically relieves
deserving distress, and not that it saved
money to be squandered on mule brigades
in usurious interest, or secret service fund,
and partisan employees, by turning tn
wretched and unfortunate away unrelieved.
We are all interested, or likely soon to
be in alms-houses, if these squaudering
continue to waste the SUBJ
stance of honest men in the future as they
have done in the past. Assess, tax. aud
levy little while longer, paralyzing busi-
ness and strangling enterprise, as you
have done, and there will be thousands of
poor men, women and children asking for
relief. The alms-houss will become the
common home for men who now live in
houses with granite stoops, as we'll as those
who dwell in novels.
Rauing reported already on the aims
house, please give us neat report on the
Gas Works.
