Tho great storm Of the 2ith and 18th Of
August, on the New Brunswick coast, was one
of tho most terrific and destructive cyclones
of which history furnishes any record. A
report OF the damage done by the gale las
been prepared and published by the sigma
Office at Washington. About 1,032 ~vessels,
Of which 425 were small fishing schooncrs,
arc known TO have been destroyed in the
neighborhood Of the Gulf of st. Lawrence

this large number, over 80 vessels were de-
stroyed by the same storm in it's course be-
fore reaching Nova Scotia. making T. total Of
1,122 vessels destroyed within a few days.
Some 223 lives are definitely reported Lost,
and the most moderate estimate Of numerous
cases, in which whole crews are stated TO have
been lost, swells tie number to nearly 800,
while if to this be added the loss of life or
land and in the earlier history Of tho cyclone,
the grand total amounts TO at least 600 lives.
Records also show that about 900 buildings
were injured or totally destroyed by the
storm.

A national convention of Fire Marshals has
been in session in Baltimore during the past
week, discussing he various modes of fight
ing the fiery iiend. The engineers desig-
mated by the War Department to examine tho
bridge across the Mississippi river at st. Louis
have decided that the bridge is 4 very serious
obstruction to navigation. AS the plans
cannot now DO changed without enormous
cost, it is proposed to obviate the difficulty by
cutting a canal behind the eastern abutment

A Heavy Loss by Fire.

About noon on Thursday last the dwell
ling OF Rev. David Harris, hard-work.
ing and thrifty colored citizen of this
town, caught on fire from spark from
thechimney, and the building being odd
and very dry was quickly consumed. In
fact, the flames advanced SO rapidly that
it was impossible to save but trifle o1
his furniture, provisions, &c. and we
are informed that the family lost all Of
their wearing apparel-not single gar
ment being saved.
AS soon as the alarm was given every
body, white and colored, rushed to the
scene of conflagration, and all worked
with will to save the adjoining build
ings, which they finally, after a hard
fight, succeeded in doing.' We were
pleased on this occasion to see the honest
exertions of many white people present
to save the property of this colored man ;
and some of them, and among the num-
ber we noticed Messrs. Ben. Rambo,
Glover Tompkins, Johnnie Harrison,
Jerry Gardner, Frank Sandland, Ben.
Covar, and others, VINO even outstripped
the colored people in the contest with the
fiery element. This is as it should be
and ever let this spirit abide with us, for
under similar circumstances we are all,
without regard to color, certainly de-
pendent upon each other.
Harris loss is estimated at over 1000.
And colored widowed woman living in
the same house also lost everything she
had-clothing, furniture, &c.
We understand that subscription list
is in circulation to aid the distressed, and
are glad to hear that many have respond
ed with liberal hand.

Business in Our Town this Spring,

Business in our town seems to have
opened this spring with perfect vim.
And certainly our merchants seem to be
fully prepared for it in the way of large
and elegant stocks of goods of all kinds
for the spring and summer trade. Take
the dry-goods shopping for instance.
Never since the close of the. war have
we seen the ladies of our town and the
surrounging country buying their dry
goods, and even millinery, SO czclusively
at home as this spring. For a long time
past it has been the custom to repair to
larger markets for the handsomer articles
of the toilette-the real high dress such
as silks, and laces, and bonnets, and
hats, &c. But our young merchants hav-
ing clearly demonstrated to them this
spring that such troublesome and 'expen-
sive trips were entirely unnecessary,
they seem now to be-how shall We express
it?-going the rAolc log here at home.
For the last two weeks not day has
passed, except Sundays, on which we
have not seen at least dozen we'll known
ladies Of the surrounding country going
the rounds Of our rstores-women Of taste
and Of means, who know elegant things
and are in the habit of buying saeh-Iand
we know that all these ladies bought
largely and lfbe-aNy, leaving nothing
over for Augusta, Columbia, or john
ston's. and we have been delighted to
note this, for. certainly our own nler-
chants, ceteris garibus, (and that is ex-
actly the way it is!) should receive the
weighty patronage Of their own country
women.
And OF our grocery stores, and drug
stores, andoi Mr.. Lebcschultz' s clothing,
we would be equally emphatic. Their
stocks are not only full, but they are el
egant, luxurious, and cheap. Our drug
stores for instance. Where would you
find them mere complete, more leiiable,
prettier, more pleasantly presided over?
The mercantile establishments of Edge
foI d con,ain, beyond all doubt, every
Sthingnecessary to comfort, luxury, beau.
ty, elegance, sty!e-be it i'll dress, in the
table, OF in general domestic life.
Therefore, friends, countrymen, and
lovers" if yonr minds are luminous,
and your heads level, trade at home!

10 The colored voters Of Philadel-
ph.a are son the rampage" and insist
upon fair representation in etllcial cir
cles. They object to do all the voting
without having some of the pleasant
places voted for, and her rce they demand
recognition of their services in more
substantial manner than the mere words
of approval that have hitherto greeted
their labors. This the white Radicals
object to, because they want all the pub
lie plumber themselves. A seventeenth

Tie RIuc Ridge Scrip Finally

On Friday last the Supreme Court OF
South Carolina filed its decision i'll the
Blue Ridge Scrip case. The opinion was
framed by Chief Justice Moses, and un-
eouivocally declares the scrip illegal, as
being in violation of the provision Of the
q. S. Constitution which declares that . no
State slrall emit bills Of cGgFf&d. GgfF&d. which the
scrip is pronounced TO be.
Ihe only remaining chance for the
scrip, is in the U. S. Court-a slow and
expensive alternative which will scarce
ly be resorted to. The holders OF the
scrip. and dabblers in it, must feel badly

A Tough Story.

The following exceedingly incredible
story is published by The Pottstown
Ledger under the heading A R5marka-
BILE Case. We imagine the story will
find few takers amongst medical men
A very unusual phenomenon was found
within the body of Wm. Maillaur, aged
about nineteen years, son Of Mr.. Joseph
Maillaur. OF Cedarville, North Coventry
township, Chester county, who died ON
Monday morning, December 9th. The
deceased had been afflicted for several
wears with curvature OF the spine, en-
larged spleen and liver. Ascites, or alb
dominal dropsy, set in about eight
months ago, as the result of the enlarge
ment of the liver and spleen, interfering
with the proper functions of the body,
gradually Increasing until his death.
The case was under charge of several
physicians of this vicinity, since he was
first afflicted. DIR. J. Davis, who has
been his attending physician for several
months past, held "A post mortem examin-
alton on Wednesday last in the presence
of several persons, and, singular to re-
late, after having drawn eight gallons of
dark colored serous fluid from the abdo-
men, found that the liver, spleen, kid
neys, stomach and bowels were complete
ly absorbed, without leaving any part of
them remaining-nothing being found in
the abdomen but a portion of the omen
tum and the Serious fluid. How long
this had been the case we are unable to
say, but certainly it could not have been
long.
