Remarkable Storm In Washington

ULl IuU Washington IFl.J AdVlnce)
A SAD CALAMITY.

A SAD CALAMITY.
We learn from Mr.. ]. W. Dickey, OF
Donegal township, that his farm was visi.
ted by terrible storm of rain and hail,
couple of weeks ago. During tho af,
ternoon q small cloud appeared in the
horizon, coming up rapidly, but it did
not have the appearance Of q storm cloud
by any means. However, when this
cloud had met another small one, which
looked very calm also, the rain and hail
commenced falling in torrects, while
the wind blew frighttulIy. Thirty acres
o. corn was knocked down fat, and some
Of 1t almost buried with mud. From
five hundred to one thousand bushels Of
apples were beaten off the trees, and five
hundred psnnel Of fence blown down.
His garden was literally destroyed, the
cabbage heads being beaten into frag-
ments,
After the storm had subsided, it was
discovered that the storm had been con.
fined to an area Of not moro than one
hundred acres. Outside OF this, no hail
had fallen at all, and but little rain.
For while there was great confusion
among the sheep, the fences being down,
sheep from neighboring farms got mixed
up with those belonging to Mr.. D., max.
ing it very difficult job to get them sep.
arated. 1t is lmpo sible to estimate the
loss.

Committee originating in the Louisville
Convention issues an extended address in
favor Of O'Conor and Adams. 1t says:

his election would be less calamity to
the Democratic party and the whole

ton of Pennsylvania met in Harrisburg on the
18th Instant. Its members were elected on the
principle of minority or proportional represen-
tatiou-from which it results that the Conven-
ton consists of sixty nine Republicans and six
ty.lour Democrats. This is an experiment de-
signed to give every portion of the population
a fair voice in the government 1t is a move
ment in the right direction. 1t appears, how
ever, that partizan politics entered into the pre-
'liminary proceedings of the Convention, and
that the Radical party claimed all.

JACK AND JILL.-L. A. Gobright, the ge-
NAL, accomplished and trustworthy Washing
ton agent of the Associated Press, has, amid
all the cares and pcrplexities of his position,
found time to give to the public little, uupre-
tending volume, in rhyme, that contains more Of
humor satire and good sense, than many larger
and more pretending books and one that will
delight the old as we'll as the young. The
poem is history of Jack and Jill, " famous
in nursery rhyme, which has been invested
with new interest by weaving from it a story Of
the lives and characters of these two eminent
personages. The tale of their frugal habits,
rural, domestic life, and happy, contented dis
positions, together with the browning catastro-
phc of their lives is treated in plain, simple,
unprctending yet most entertaining manner.
There is also an underlying vein of humor
through the whole work, which adds much to
it's merit as literary production. Jack and
Jill are represented as resembling "John An
derson my 10, John, and his aged partner in
their common path through life, and the moral
courage of Jack in abstaiDipg from the tempta-
tons of Washington society is highly praised,
as we'll as his constant practice OF never going
anywhere without having Jill at his side or
closely at his back The mistortunes that will
sometimes come upon mortals even from cool
ing drinks are mentioned, and the wonderful
healing effect of vinegar and brown paper
upon broken heads is announced in suitable
verse. The poem is published in handsome
style by Claxton, Remsen & Hafelfnger and
is illustrated with six appropriate engravings
and colored frontispiece. Every boy and girl
iu the United States ought to have Jack and
JILL and every bookseller ought to advertise
it for sale. A good many old boys would also
profit by its perusal.
