sat watching her. pretending to read the Jour
nal at the same time. She was looking very
charming in her buff muslin dress, with pink
ribbons at her throat, and looping back her
brown hair.

ME Huntley knew the value of dress-and
what is more, she knew how to attire herself
in Just the manner most becoming to her.
She was not SO much prettier than dozens of
other young ladies, but everything about her
was in harmony and people had fallen into the
habit of calling her beautiful. She had a
clear wild-rose complexion, tolerably regular
features, soft brown eyes, and hair that was
struggling continually to break into curls and
ringIets SO natural to it.

eighteen when she came to Greymead-

had loved her Tor six years. She had made

love was quiet yet, it had not reached that

The present Mrs. Belknap is the Secre-
rctary's third wife, the second having been
her sister, The second wife was Miss Car
rie Tominson, OF Harrodsburg. She is des-
cribed as having been very pretty, but too
delicate to stand the really arduous duties Of
her position in Washington society. Her
death occurred December II 1870. Three
years subsequently, on December II, 1872.
General Belknap married the sister Of bis
former wife, then the widow of Mr.. John
Bowers, once well-knoWn,, merchant Of Gin
cinnati,
Mrs. Bowers-Belknap is the youngest
daughter of Doctor John Tonllinson, former
ly prominent physician Of Harrodsburg.
Her maiden name was Amanda, and at an
early age she manifested preference for a
Presbyterian faith, and most of her life pre-
vious to her first marriage was spent in de-
votion to this church. Her culture charm
ing personal qualities and handsome appear
ance caused Miss Tomlinson to be q great
favorite. During the rebellion she espoused
the Federal cause and busted herself aiding
and lending succor to the union soldiers,
among whom she was dearly deemed. After
her marriage to Mr. Bowers she embraced
the Episcopal faith. and has continued since
to be member of that denomination. Her
marriage to General Belknap was celebrated
very quietly at the home of her brother, Dr.
William Tomlinson, December Z, 1873. Rev
Mr. Venable of1iciated, and the bride was

the late William Garven, Of Louisville but is

"a GREAT TORNADO.
Fearful loss Of life and Property

From the Inter Ocean, March 13th.l
We question if there has been anything
seen in this country approaching the power
and violence of the tornado that visited the
village of Hazel Green, Wis.,, on Friday last.
Heretofore there has been some apparent
limit to the force of whirlwinds, and there
has generally remained in their path some
monument of strength which has defed their
assault; but in this case the storm appears to
have been absolutely resistless. There was
no partial demolition of objects in its course
no ruin simply of frail tenements, while
stronger ones resisted successfully. Heavy
stone buildings were crushed like paper box
es, not by persistent beating about them,
but instantly, as if q colossal hand of iron
had struck them to the earth. No instance
occurs to us where the destruction and loss
of life have been so great, proportionately
from such cause. The Whirlwind only
struck at a few points in the village, but
where it descended havic and ruin were the
result. Seven persons were instantly killed,
and tifteeu more or less severely injured,
while over twenty buildings were destroyed.
This is small village OF about ], 900 inhabi-
tants. Something of the force Of the tornado
may be gained from the fact that a span of
horses standing side by side in barn were
lifted sixty feet in the air, and carried dis
tance ftwenty rods and dashed to the earth
again, falling only ten feet apart, and retain
ing the respective places occupied when they
We're lifted from their places. One whole
family named Richards, together with
neighbor and her infant child, were killed,
and so suddenly did the tornado strike the
dwelling where they were assembled. and so
quick was the work, that they were found in
the very positions occupied ere the stroke de-
scended, having had apparently no time to
make even frightened movemant towards
escape. Outside of the center of the whirl-
wind the force was of course moderated. and
there the destruction was only partial; but it
seems that in the direct line of the tornado,
and in the places where it fairly touched,
nothing withstood it. 1t appears also. from
all.that can be learned, that the fearful Wis
itation was confined to narrow limit, and that
no other points in the vicinity suffered to any
extent. The occurrence is phenomenon
which weather prognosticators would do well
to study.

The good people OF the quiet rural
village of Richtord We're Friday thrown
int" Il fever of excitement 10y Il no less

the affair are rs follows: As the Friday

and, separating into two parties of
three each, passed through the village.
and past the house OF Mr.. Sears. into Il
grove near Ivy. \ few minutes after

in rapid succession. and in about fifteen
minutes they were repeated. Little

tbe one wounded. One of the parties
nt first admitted that there had been Il
duel. but afterwards thought it dlSrrete
to DENY it. Another impaired the not
very astounding Information that there
was il woman in the background Oh 'he

had Il quarrel in Montreal, and eXrhah%-
ell blows, which WAS followed by Il
challenge. il trip To the country ana ii

in the case, and the sequel Is not il
matter OF great curiosity.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The following additional particulars
of the duel at Richtord have come to

are Edward Guilcmct aud VI. Durand ;
of Naudry's. Albert Flambert and Louis

was the challenger. The weapons used
were pistols. distance one hundred 1etl.
