It will thus be seen that the railroads were
overcome yesterday to an extent not knoTn for
many years. At the hour Of going to press the
storm continues with the snme iutensity with
which it. prevailed during yesterday.
DESTRUCTION or WALLS.

we're at homo when tho walls fell, but were not
two minutes afterwaTd. Ande1Bon and fr2end,
who we're asleep in front room, were awakened
by the falling Of 1ath and plaster on the bed,
other inmates we're up and dressed, and lost no
time in making their exit, not stopping to res
cue any portable articles. No one was injured,
although all we're badly frightened, and really
moro nnneryed than the accident warranted, the
room adjoining Ando1son's, situated in the
northeast corner Of the building, alone being
rendered untcnautable. The roof and celllng
over this room were demolished, and tho floor

bricks. Several lnlgc rocks forced their
chairs, tables, and looking glaases to splinters,
and forcing ont the window-saahes. The shock
experienced was not unlike that which accom-
panies an earthquake, the house trembling for
several minutes, and the conclusion being ap-
parent to persons q block distant from the
scene. Friends in the neighborhood kindly
cared for Mrs. Brown and the others, they con-
eidering it too dangerous to return to their

A LITTLE COMPOSITION ON THE
WHEELBARRow.- The Danbury Nelcs
says: "If you have occasion to use a
wheelbarrew, leave ii, when you are through
with it, in front of the house, with the
handles toward the door. A wheelbarrow
is the most complicated thing to fall over
on the face of the earth. A man will fall
over one when he would never think of
falling over anything else he never knows
when he has got through falling over
it, either for it will tangle his legs
and his arms, turn over with him, and
rear up in front of him, and just as he
pauses in his profanity to congratulate him
self, it takes new turn, and scoops more
skin off of him, and he commences to evo-
lutte anew, and brmp himself on fresh
places. A man never ceases to fall over
wheelbarrow until it turns completely on
its back, or brings up against something it
cannot upset. 1t is the most inoffensive
looking object there is, but it is more dam
gerous than locomotive, and no man is
secure with one unless he has tight hold
Ct its handles and is sitting down on
something. A wheelbarrow has its uses,
without doubt, but in its leisure mo-
ments it is the great blighting curse on true
dignity.

NAPOLEON.

Final Interment of the Remains of
Inc Late EmDerOr-Distingu
PERSONS at ChiseIilurst-The Prince
Imperial.
fAE1s, January 12.--It is stated that
ths french government will permit the
maj lnterment Of Napoleon,s remains in
france If the funeral is made strictly pri.
Vate, and the deceased is buried as "ex-
emperor" not as emperor, and on the con-
dltlonn, also, that the ceremonies must be
simply of religious character.
The President is understood to have
conferred with the minister of the interior
and the project of police, with the object
OF preventing the funeral Off it takes place
IN Franco from being made an opportunity
OF political manifestation.
Benedetti arrived at Chiselhurst to-day.
and was received by the Empress. M.
OLIVIER and Marshal MacMahon are ex-
pected there tomorrow.
Princess Murat and suite arrived this af-
ternoon.
Great numbers of people from France
are expected to come to the funeral.
The Southeastern and Northern railways
OF France have reduced their rates of fare
Tor the poorer classes attending the funeral.
1t is reported that the Prince Imperial
has already assumed the title of Napoleon
Nv. This report is doubtless incorrect
but it is true that the Prince is now ad-
dressed as "Sire" by all visitors at Chisel-
hurst.
The impression is gaining ground that
the Emperor died from the effects of chloro-
form administered to assuage pain.

Observation-Disclosures Janauschek and
her company of actors passed through the
city yesterday afternoon, en- route to Norfolk
to fill professional engagement. Joe JEFF
ferson and his company took the same train
for Wilmington, North Carolina, where
they appear tonight. Several members of
the company which has been performing
here since last September, also embarked
for other fields. The meeting of these
parties at the depot was the occasion of a
very lively scene, all seeming to be &C.
quainted; and the interview before the
departure of the train was occupied in the
interchange of cordial greetings, explana-
tons. adieus. &c.

THE House Committee on Commerce
will give hearing tomorrow to several
prominent Virginia and Western men in
behalf of the James River and Kanawha
Canal improvement. There are indications
that this important measure will receive
more strength before Congress than its
most sanguine friends had anticipated for it.
Our people should earnestly press the mat
ter upon the attention of their Representa-
tives, and every honorable influence should
be brought to bear upon Congress in fur
therance of the scheme in hand.
