DISASTROUS EFFECTS of THE STORM OF FRIDAY
ALONG THE NORTHERN RAILRoAD-EoUsEs
OVERTHROW AND IMMENSE LANDsLIDEs
OCCASIONED.
SPARKHIL N. j., August IA, 1875
No words describe the terrible effects of the
heavy along the line of the Northern Railroad
New Jersey. No such food has ever visited this
neghborhood before and tho losses sustained by the
people living along the line amount to thousands Of
dolars The excitement is at present so great that
careful survey Of the situation is impossible The nature
and extent of the havoc created may, however, be
gathered from the sequel
THE STORM
Yesterday terrible storm set in, the vehemency Of
which each passing hour served only strengthen.
Between this point and Nyack the storm attended
with heavy winds The citizens, becoming alarmed,
clustered together here and there to devise some
to ward off the danger which threatened them.
The country down the line is hilly and mountainous
preserving, indeed pretty nearly tho same contour
the banks of the Hudson, which are only few miles
away. All at once cataract Of water fell earthward,
and landing upon the hill tops, rushed down upon the
village in a thousand different rivulets and channels
II was as If the dark, thick
THUNDER CLOUD HAD EXPLODED
and emped its contents upon this unfortunate locality
Many OF the citizens fed in terror and CONSERVATION
from their homes with their shvering wives and chill
dren, not knowing what to do Trees were torn up by
the roots and it is exsGgeration TO state that huge
rocks and bouders, weighing in some instances over
500 pounds disodged from their foundations and
HOUSES
Some faint idea may perhaps be formed Of the force
and fury of the rushing waters when 1t is stated that the
railroad track this place torn up to the length
Of fty feet and that gully washed out TO the
markable depth Of twenty feet
THIS STONE GRAVEL AND MUD
tearing down upon the houses, crushing in their
sides and almost carrying them from their foundations.
The house Of Mr. Ward, agent Of the railway company,
was almost entirely demolished
Hundreds of workmen engaged removing the
rocks from the sides of the houses and in taking away
the furniture, &c, buried under the mud.
The companys wrecking train is here and about 100
men are at present engaged in building trestleworks
the different gaps. At Norwood two passenger
trains blocked up The passengers tried TO reach
Nyack by carriage, but found the roads washed away.
They forced to return and wait for relief which
sent this morning

The Influence Of the Republican
State Conventions of Pennsyl-

The Republican platforms, as adopt
ed by the Republican State Conven-
tions of Pennsylvania and Ohio, have
have h:G au astounding influence On
the expression Of Southern opinion. A
writer from that section of the country
says: "We must kill no more niggers,
and cease our political intimidation and
persecution of Union men until after
the Presidential election"
a Republican victory III 1876 is all
that is needed TO secure safe govern
meut in the South, aud further unite
the sectious so long estranged by the
War and its results; then will prosrer-
ity come TO the North and South afIke,
sur Republican success at that time will
convince the Southern Democracy of
the utter hopelcssness of further resist
ance to lawful authority in the interest
of an sbsurd attempt on their part tu
compel the nation to award to the South
the right of self, government independ-
ent of all constitutional enactHIents
growing out of the war. and the further
concession of placing those who Tough.

footing as pensioners and guardians Of
