The hurricOne canlo from the south

about O'clock. Some seventeen
houses were prostrated, and five per-

some fatally, AT Hasson. on the same
road, three dwelling houses and the
railroad depot were blown down and
three persons killed. Withers' mill,

DEAR JoURNAL:-We had grand
time Tuesday last, at the close of DIR.
Walkers school. The examination
Logan early in the day. The first
branch of study was spelling, and it
Was performed much to the satisf &c
ton of visitors, both in correctne of
letters and accuracy of sounds. Next,
English grammar was taken up, and
the students went through all parts of
speech with accuracy and correctness.
Then followed geography, and one
might have thought from the way the
students expressed themselves that
i.ney had been all over the world, for
tney appeared to be as familiar with
Cnlna. Austria and Africa as with our
tatlve country; for they ran the maps
from ocean ito creek, from hemis-
phere down to islarld--in fact, they ap-
peared to be familiar with the whole
surface of the globe. Then came our
uuhner, most delicious, after which the
Dlackboard performance was dis
9a'ched with ease. Then speeches aud
x.ialogue', until late in the day. In
tact' the proceedings were ali delights
iul and charming.
