Terrible Dcstractiou By Storm in
Nerthern Europe.

LONDON, Dec. A Berlin letter
says of the storm In the north CT Eu-
urope, Nov. IA, that its violence was
unprecedented in the memory Of liy-
ing man; indeed, the local annals of
the Baltic and Ostze coast contain no
record Of such a furious and destruc-
tive tempest for nearly 200 years past.
All lines Of railroads radiatlng to diff
ferent points of the compass from this
capital are encountered, and the tele-
graph poles are broken or up
rooted. Business on the Bourse
is at n standstill. The sea-walls
were smashed to atoms or swallowed
up In the great waters. Accounts
from Straulsund, Kiel, G~reefswald,
Swinemunde and Creade, give like
descriptions of this second deluge. On
Wednesday the greater part of Greeis-
valid was under water. In Ostze the
water stood five feet deep in the street
of that thriving little town. The total
number of RATS foundered at Stralsund
WAS over so. All the fishing boats be-
longing to Zeingstdars and Tiddso are
gone to the bottom. Eighty people
were drowned at Venvltz. All along
the coast the inhabitants arc ruined,
and suffering from want OF water, the
sea having flooded all the wells.

6reeley's Farm In Virginia a Vast Bed
Of Auriferous Ore.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Wing.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Wing.
Perhaps there are very few people
In this State who are aware OF the fact
that Mr. Horace Greeley Is a land
owner In the county OF Buckingham,
vet such Is the case. The circumstan-
ces under which he came Into posses
sion OF this real estate are briefly these:
a few months previous to the break
ing out Of the war, Henry ". BaYard.
of Delaware. brother of the old Sena-
tor, and uncle to the present, came TO
the county Of Buckingham and verbal
ly contracted with o. 3. and S. II.
Ayers to purchase their farms for the
purpose OF mining for gold. The war
coming on, interfered with the COM
pletion of the contract. Soon after Its
close, Henry NJ. Bayard and Abraham
Rex, Of Philadelphia, came to Vir-
ginia, aud entered into q contract with
said Ayers. In accordance With the
foregoing agreement. Bayard soon
commenced operations, hired a strong
force Of negro laborers, purchased ex-
tensiyc machinery, adopted to crush
Ing golden ore, and spent about sixty
thousand dollars in undertaking to de-
yelop the resources of his mining lands.
They continued operations till the
Spring aud Summer OF 1870, when Il.
N, Bayard sold his interest to Mr..
Greeley. In the Fall Of 20 Mr.. Gree
lev paid the balance Of the purchase
mouey-about 81, 500-and under the
contract assigned to him and accord.
ing to its terms. the deed was executed
by' Ayers to Mr.. Greeley. Tho tract
contained about $50 acres, but In addi-
ton to the g, 500 paid BY Mr.. Greeley,
he has advanced to Henry Bayard
about 5000, with the understanding
that the contract held by Bayard was
to be assigned him In part %considera-
ton for the additional $4,000 paid him.
Dennead s. Son instituted suit against
Bayard sometime In 10, and attached
his interest In this property. which at
,achment was several months prior 10
the payment Of the purchase money
by Mr.. Greeley, and while the title
was still held Gy the Ayers; Mr.. Gree
Icy. by his counsel, Mr.. Garland b.
Haines, filed his petition at the Octo-
Der term Of the Circuit Court Of Buck
inpham, In this suit, setting forth his
claim aud rights to the land, and was
made a party defendant In the cause,
in which condition It now stands.
This land Is said to be very valuable,
az IL is known to contain underneath
Its surface, vast beds Of auriferous ore.
It Is situated on the rosd leading from
New Canton to Buckingham Female
Institute. 1t Is now occupied by ne
gross, who live on 1t aud are not
Charged with any rent, and yet,
strange to cay, they went to tue polls
on election day and voted solidly
against the owner, the then Liberal
csndidate for the Presidency,

NEVADA GIT CoNcERT.-The Gin
Concert to be given at Virginia City,
for the founding of an Insane Asylum
in Nevada, we understand, will take
place about the first OF January. The
tickets are being sold rapidly. The
money received from the sale Of tickets
Ia placed in the hands Of Wells, Fargo
& Co., Virginia City, which ~precludes
the possibility of fraud. The prizes
will be paid in full. So says the Car
son Register Of this morning. Those
in Gold Hill and Virginia who have
been holding Off until the day Of draw
ing should be definitely fixed before
they would purchase tickets, had bet
ter do so now while they have the OPP
portunity, as the Unexpectedly brisk
sale of the tickets has induced the day
of drawing to be set at an earlier date
than was intended. II the tickets
should all DO closed out before that
time, the drawing will take place even
sooner than the time mentioned. Read
particulars In the advertisement In
another column.
SENT Ur.-The drunken man whom
Constable Harkin had such a rough
time arresting evening before last at
a saloon up town, on examination
before Justice Putnam yesterday, wa
sent to the County Jail for thirty days,
and the two who interfered to prevent
the arrest have their trial this after
noon. The Enterprise of this morning
says "Gold Hill constables use brass
knuckles on drunken prisoners, and
are proud of It." Mr.. Harkin desires
US to state that he does not feel at all
proud of being obliged to use weapons
against weapons, or having to fight
against odds 10 the discharge Of his
duty when called upon, and as the
Court sustained him In so doing,
he feels justified. We have be-
fore now e Virginia officers beat
resisting prisoners over the head with
heavy revolvers. and they were not
proud of II. either. They were bound
to make the arrest, however, even
though they had to shoot.
SEVERE AcCIDENT.-Samuel i. Rich

cd Virginia mine, about l o'clock to-

over a year ago the enterprising firm
of Reinstein s. Co. started their now
famous clothing store in Gold Hill.
1t had been quite a custom before that
for people to purchase ut Virginia ;
but since Wolf, one of the firm, has
been here, lie has made 1t his special
duty to sell at such low prices as to
astonish other dealers and everybody
else. Mr.. Wolf having just returned
from their factory In San Francisco.
where he has made full arrangements
for a full Winters supply, no block
