A Cyclonc---Great Damage TO Trees nn'

:, ~ - III r,a,,naa 7aF'H'sf ~ u
During Northumberland yesterday after
noon cyclone passed through General w.
q. Hardingis park, on the Harding turnpike,
dwelling trees, fences, and everything It ems
counterfeit It was first observed by Dir. A.
l.. Maxwell, who had d gang Of men en-:
ployed in building bridge on the Nashville
and Northwestern railroad. He heard the
roar Of the approaching storm, and called to
his men TO- stop working and take refuge IN
an open space where they would be secure
from falling trees. The noise increased
every moment, and resembled the roar OF
a mighty cataract. Suddenly an immense
volume Of black clouds, resembling a
water-spout, descended from the skies,
whirling like an aerial ocean ina storm. 1t
rushed down upon the forest accompanied
by rain and vivid lightning. Selling the
tallcst giants of the forests by the limbs, it
wrcnchcd them from the ground and whirled
them like straws before it. It passed in q
southwesterly direction in a solid, compact
body about three hundred yards wide, cut
ting lane through the woods rs even in
width as if lines had been drawn beforehand
to guide its course. Wherever the dense
black cloud passed, PROSTATE trees and fences
and ruined cabins strewed the ground. The
workmcn were unable to stand the force Of
the wind, and only saved themselves from
being blown away by lying flat upon their
faces behind the friendly shelter of stumps
and hilocks. The hurricane lasted but few
minutes, yet in that time it had cut Lane
completely through the park. .-..
Several persons narrowly escaped death
from falling trees and branches.
a boy was driving a wagon along the turn
pike when large limb was severed from a
tree by the cyclone and dropped between the
mules and the wagon, breaking the tongue
of the vehicle, but without injuring the team
or driver. A tree fell across another wagon
in which two boys were seated, smashing the
rear part Of it, but without touching the
boys.
The railroad track was blocked by num-
Der Of fallen trees. AS soon as the storm bad
passed away Mr.. Maxwell set his men to
work to clear the track, and luckily sue
cccded in removing the debris before the ar
rival Of any train.

SMrGGLlsG.-An ugly tale is floating around
this city, which, unfortunately for our pure
minded officials in Washington, has a strong
smack of smuggling. 1t appears that on the
last up trip Of the Washington steamer, the
Lady Of the Lake, she carried up as freight
quantity of rich wines and liquors for the
public TUnctionarcs Of the capital. These
goods were brought over by the United States
ship Gucrricrc, and paid no duty. A dctcc-
tive Of this city, thinking it 4 good opportll-
nifty for a maui, went up on the boat, seized
fhc goods, brought them back, and they are
now stored in the custom-house. Of course
the crime Of attempted smuggling will be
tiiSclaimcd. but WHO is to blame for this eva-
sion Of the revenue laws ?-N0J0Ih Tir.

THE VOICELESS.

We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet waiting singers slumber,
But DER their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stoop TO numbers
A few may touch the magic string.
And noisy fame be proud to win them;
Alas, for those that never sing.
But die with all their music in them.
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone.
Where song has told their hearts sad story
Weep for the yoiceess who have known
The cross without the crown Of glory!
where Leucacian breeZes sleep
Ger Sappho's memory-h haunted pillows,
But where:the glistening night dews weep
Ger nameless sorrows church yard willow
. hearts that break and give no sign.
Save whitening lip and fading tresses.
Till death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow dropped from misery's crushing
presses.
If singing breath or cchoing chord,
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet ~ heaven!
OLIVER WENDALL HOLMES
