At Jefferson, eight miles from that city, the
storm ragged fiercely. There opposing cur
rents Of air seem to have met, causing q
hurricane to sweep ovor the neat little viii
isge, unroofng many houses, churches,
barns, &c. The Methodist Protestan Mt
Church, large brick building, was laid in
ruins. The roof aud rear gable end of the
now Lutheran Church wore torn away, the
walls crushing through the floors, and car.
rylug with them the pulpit, ohaucel, 10,
lrjuring it 20 the extent Of about 5000.
The Reformed Church was also slightly iu-
Jnrcd. Large girders were borne by the
force Of the wind to distance of 200 feet.
The total damage is estimated at about S25 :

A SQUIRRELS AP-Recen,ly, says
tho Bangor (Me.) Wig, little red SOUR.
rel, having been restored considerably by
the lads above the saw mill of Ebon Web
ssor & Co, on Marsh Point, Orono, took
refuge fer life by running up the largo brick
chimney Gear the mill. BY clinging to the
corner, he kept foothold 50 well that he
succeeded in reaching tho very top Here
ne found himself upon the iron cap, 1861
feet from the ground. As more aud moro
of tho waste stuff from the mill was added
to the furnace, the chimney grew hotter and
his situation became more and more disa.
grcenble. He tried to descend upon the
side of the chimney, but after getting down
few feet gave i. up, turned about and
went back. by this time the chimney top
had become 30 hot that he must leave it; so
after looking about carefully for a few min
utes, he evidently made up bis mind that
ne must leap to save his life, and this be
did, speeding out his legs and balancing
himself SO that he struck the ground about
fifty feet from the base, uninjured, and
immediately scsmpered off aud secretod
himself under pile of boards little dis
tsnco away.

Letter to the Springfield Republican,
lie has gone back into his better
days by quarter Of century. His
bearing is very upright and almost
youthful his cheeks are rosy his
eyes are full of brightness which is
strikingly set off with his silver hair /;
his voice is sonorous, and would reach
far beyond the Obclisk if at Easter he
would again step on st. Peters balco-
ny and bcstow his solemn benedictit n.
His appetite is very great, and his di-
gestion perfect, Almost every day he
goes down for long walks into the Va
tican gardens and yesterday he was
sauntcring about without a cloak, just
as in his chamber, and with no other
gament than his white robe. He
walked fast and briskly, without the
; aid of a stick, his cardinals following
him with difficulty. lie has never
been so joyous, so full Of confidence il
+ the approaching restoration of the TEN
, poral power He is necessarily testing
Ills conversation sparkles with DUP,
. and cranks and rcpartecs but he is al
, ways somewhat harsh with his prelates
whom he scolds severely, and especial
ly with Antonelli, whom he ethe
scolds or turns into ridicule.
