THE CLARION.

Col. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte'
grandson of Madame Patterson Bona
partc, arrived in Baltimore on last
Saturday. In New York he told a
Reporter of the Times press, that
he visited the Emperor Napoleon in
England, and had a long converse
ton with him. He found his ex-lm-
perial Majesty reticent, but greatly
pleased with his reception at Dover,
Col. 9onaparte has faith in the rcsto-
ration of the Napoleon dynasty, and
believes that anarchy will not cease
until that dynasty is re-establlsed
Hc regards Republicanism as mpoSS'-
BILE in France; and from the anarchy
and confusion now reignins there, We
think he is more than half right.

FROM ST. LOUIS.

St. Louis, March 10. The losses by the
tornado on Wednesday were much exag-
gerated. A careful estimate places them at
about the following figures: Elevator, Sl5,-
900; ST. Louis & Vandalia Railroad, between
$4,000 and $4,000; Southeastern, $4,000;
Chichago & Alton, $4,000; Ohio & Misss-
sippi, $50, 1000; Toledo & Wabash, between
S75, 900 and 500, 900; steamer Mollie Able,
$4,000. Losses to tho citizens can hardly
fall short OF 100000. The railroads are
busy repairing damages, and the citizens are
endeavoring to gather up the remains of their
houses, and are collecting together their fur
nture. Reports from the country are com
ing in, and in some localities the damage is
considerable. In Morgan county, Illinois,
houses, fences, and forests. were blown away,
and several persons were badly injured.

An unsuccessful attempt was made on
Thursday night to enter the variety store of
w. Wendenburg, on Water street, from the
back side. pane of glass was removed with
view probably of raising the inside blind,
which was so securely fastened that the
burglars could not swing it aside, and they
had to give up their nights work as a bad job.
Mr.. Wendenburg sleeps in the second story of
his building ard was awakened between eleven
and twelve o'clock by sound like that pro-
duced by breaking glass, but hearing no repe-
tition of the noise he took no further notice of
it. The tracks of two persons with monstrous
boots were found in the rear of the store. 1t
has been suggested that the rogues were in
dividuals troubled with cough, and couldn't
wait to call Mr.. Wendenburg up to obtain
some of his cough candy.

In abiding to the recent fire in Brunswick,
the Telegraph says that excellent progress has
been made in laying the stone for the pier,
and if matters go on as we'll in the future, the
bridge will undoubtedly be passable in three
weeks. Some excellent stone are going into
the pier. Parties have ceased crossing with
teams on the ice, and the pedestrian must look
out whereh he treads. The river was running
at a good pitch, on Wednesday. The Colby's
