THE EXTENT OF THE STORM.

From all information that can be
gathered, the storm or cyclone appears
to have taken in its course a belt of
country some forty miles in width from
the north of Galveston Island, extend
ing to the north of Houston. The hur-
ricane swept over this entire section of
the coast to the west of Indianola into
the Gulf. Galveston was to the south
of the mor severe part of the gale.

prepared 10 meet tDe seeming nmpenu-
ing dissolution of their houses. Such a
period as that between II O'Clock mid
night and 4 a. m. has never before been
known in Galveston. This is the opin-
ion of the oldest citizens. The events
that transpired in the vicinity of Avenue
L and Twenty-seyenth Street, where a
large number of small houses stand,
were thrilling in character, and were
repeated in other portions of the city.
The bell of the Colored Baptist Church,
on Avenue l., between T~wenty-sixth
and Twenty-seventh Streets, was rung,
and screams from people in that region
showed great distress.
All who had been driven from their
houses night before last by the gale re-
present it as terrible in appearance and
frightful in its roar. Some who lived
50 exposed that they got the full force
of the sea, believe the waves were at
least ten feet high. and the water on NJ
and y. between Eleventh and Twelfth,
was fully five feet deep in the streets,
and very rough. One large four-room
house was dire etly in the middle of Four
teenth Street, and fully 100 feet from its
former position. In fact. it is safe to

blocks, were more or less injured, while
thirty, including negro cabins, are en-
tirely gone, portions of which are scat
tered for blocks, and the furniture with
which they were supplied can be pick
ed up by piecemeal. The poor woman,
Mrs. Meaken. who was drowned. was
found partially covered with rubbish
across the street from where their house
formerly stood.

a nnokuoodrunan storr.

A correspondent of the Ohio State
Journal tells an astonishing story, as
related to him fifty years ago by an
old Maine hunter, who used to go to
on long trapping expeditions far up
the Kennebec river:
Gone night, ? said he, "after l had
retired to rest in my bed, composed
of blankets and furs of animals, and
surrounded by trees and thick brush,
1 happened to look overhead at the
branches of the trees which formed a
sort of roof to my rough sleeping
place. I discovered a large panther
secreted among the thick branches
and eyeing me very, narrowly, as if
to say, Gas soon as it gets dark
enough will make short work of
YOU" Then, thinks l this is not so
good a place as thought it was. So
I carefully slipped from under my
covering and went into the woods a
short distance and cut dozen stakes
and made them sharp at both ends,
and returning TO my bed drove them
down in the ground, with one sharp
end pointing upward, and covered
them with the blankets, then careful
ly slipped away to await result. Sit
ting down by a tree I soon fell asleep
and did not wake till morning. |
then got up and went back where |
left things the night before, and
found the panther with several stakes
driven through his body, and quite
dead. He had made the unlucky leap
upon what he supposed was me, but
found out his mistake too late"

Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1875-06-25

While stopping over night at a
farm house in Missouri, a traveller
was astonished to see his hostess
walk up to her husband about every
fifteen minutes and box his ears or
give his hair pull. In the morning
the guest, seeing the woman alone,
asked an explanation of her strange
conduct, and the reply was: "You
see, stranger, me and the old man has
been fightin' for ten years to see who
shall boss this ranch, and l have Just
got him cowed, but if I should let up
on him for day he would turn on
me again, and my work would all go
for nothin'.

s At the funeral of the late Colonel
James Page, of Philadelphia, Rev.
Wilber F. Paddock, D. D., incident
ally referred to a letter written by
the venerable mother of the deceased
to her s1n when a law student,
which seems to have made special
impression on his mind. The letter
was found among the cherished
treasures of the deceased, bearing
the following endorsement in his
own hand, the writing almost effac-
ed by time: ssBe faithful to your
God, be loyal to your country, be
honest in all your dealings, be af-
fectionate to your family, be true to
your friends, and you will stand like
a rock against the ocean," How
faithfully he adhered to the advice
