THE EQUINOCTIAL GALE.


From the Journal Of Commerce Of Tie
2lS, instant.
The storm sig,,a on last Saturday,
and the announcement in the weather
probabilities that n storm center
would form to ,hs eastward, caused
some apprehension in this city that
the gale Of 1874 would be repeated.
Saturday passed without the expected
visitation, but that night ''the foun-
tains Of the great deep were broken
up and the windows OF heaven we're
opened" Charleston suffered scarce
ly any damage beyond HE flooding Of
low places, but il vas evident that The
effects Of the gale we're felt severely
i'll other localities Tho telegraph
wires were generally Frustrated and
no authentic news could be obtained
until the arrival of the mail. The
loss Of the fine steamship Rchccc:l
Clyde from this port TO Baltimore, at
Ocracoke Inlet, on the coast Of North
Carolina, has been already reported

TIE GALE AT wILMITGTON.
commenced OH Sunday morning, the
wind blowing from the land and in
crcasing rapidly i'll velocity, until by
s o'clock, it was estimated to have
been between seventy-fiyc and one
hundred miles. The tide rose higher
in the sound than it has been siucc
1857, covering the banks and wash
ing away the Signal Station at New
River Inlet, giving the men IN
charge barely time to save their lives,
Two Of the number arc missing aud
arc supposed to be drowned. The
shipping at Smithvillc and in the
river suffered tosomc extent, though
no positive damage was done. The
schooner Mary Wheeler was blown
ashore OH the cas-, side Of the river.
and The British bark Roberto went
ashore in Bald Head Covc in thir-
teen feet Of water. The sloops Anna
bella and Rose, nd the schooners
Lillian and Kate was blown ashore
in the bay. From the lnct that the
wind shifted to the scaward is due
the preservation Of the shipping in
port, the principal damage being
done to the small craft, pleasure
yatchts, etc. In tho city the trees
were blown up by the roots, fences

N1essrs. George Rector and Spencer
Grand, who returned Sunday from
kimball, Bosquc County, gives us the

Ed, Brown and Thompson, from
Kaufman County, had been in that
locality several days with race horses.
On Thursday last Frank and Lacy
Robinson, Taylor Campbell anl
Wiley Norman, all Of Hill County,
went to the camp Of the Kaufman
County men and got into dispute
with them about pony race, which
resulted i'll fist fight.
The parties agreed to meet the next
day and settle the thing in moro
satisfactory manner. So, at ten o'clock
on Friday morning the Hill County
men took stand at the place agreed
upon, in readiness for action. They
had not waited long when the other
party rode toward them. The men
were all armed with six shooters cx-
ccpt Turner, who carried a needle
carbinc. When the parties had ap-
preached within twenty yards of each
other, Taylor Campbell fired at Tur-
ncr and the battle commenced. Tur-
ncr lcapcd from his horse and fired

CHRISTMAS IN NORWAY.

The great festival of the year in Nor
way, as among all Germanic nations, is
Christmas. Whether it owes all its sane
tity TO its association with the birth OF the
Savior is, however, an open question; for
many customs still kept alive in the re
mote valleys seem to point beyond the be
ginning of the Christian era, to the time
when the Norsemen ate horse-fiesh in
honor OF Odin and Thor and Frey. The
festival, as the retaining of the old name
indicates, is as yet tinctured with remin-
iscences of the old pagan Yule. Tracing
the character of Christ and his apostles
as they appear in many popular naarbhe'l
and legends, the conclusion lies near that
the people have, consciously or not, trans
ferred much that was dear to them in the
old gods to the new deity, and thus, by a
sort Of compromise between the old faith
and the new, have produced divine type
which is. at all events, sufficiently national
to appeal strongly TO their Morse hearts.
This naturalizing of ones divinity is, OF
course, not peculiar to Norway; it would
have been more singular il Norway had
shown no trace OF it.
The preparation for the Yule-tide. in the
way of provisioning the house, would, to
American eyes, look perfectly enormous.
Baking and brewing and butohering keep
the whole household busy during the last
three weeks preceding the festival And
the fact theat the process is repeated year
after year probably proves that it is neces-
sary Every man, woman or child who
comes within stones throw of the house
during the holidays (Which last until a
week after New Year, must be invited in
and urged to eat and drink without regard
for comfort. Even the birds are to have
their share Of the Christmas joy. As soon
rs the church bells have ''rung in the
feast at FIVE O'Clock in the afternoon of
Christmas Eve, the father of the house
takes his richest sheaf of oats or barley
and attaches it to the end of pole, which
is nailed to the gable of the barns or the
store houses. The mother and the chill
dren stand by enjoying the sight of the
happy birds fiuttering around the sheaf
while the father will perhaps quote the
passage abont Gods care even for the
sparrow, wherefore it is right that the
sparrow too should rejoice on the day
when Christ was born.
Among the many evening visitors which
are sure to drop in to taste the Christmas
brew, some are apt to be disguised by
grotesoue masks, and otherwise fantasti-
cally accoutered. These are called Yule-
bucks, possibly because the most common
mask may have been that of goat or
some other horned creature. At present
do not know that any special kind of
disguise is preferred. The rule seems to
be. the more grotesque, the better.
The German custom of having poor
children wander about on Christmas Eve,
carrying large lighted star of canvas,
representing the star of Bethlehem, pre-
walls also in Norway. No one can hear
their shrill, tiny voices in the snow under
his window, singing the dear familiar car

Ratchet. He said the struggle was very hard

got the best of him. He then cautioned me to
keep still. | feared the man so that / dared
not tell; If he ever gets free from law again
am sure he will kill me as he killed her. The
next day heard every one talking about the
terrible affair." Cunningham went away and
was gone three months, during which time
had IA letter from him, in which he wanted to
know whether there were any rumOrs about
the affair. 1t was only the other night when

ARRESTED.
Mr., Price then went to the place where Cum
ningham was held for beating his wife, The
keeper said :-'Cunningham these JERSEY peo-
pie have come after you" He turned pale as
sheet, and trembled from head to foot. Mr..
Price handcuffed the prisoner to himself and
brought nm on here few days ago. He is
now in Belvidere in the County Jail to await
trial in April.
Ills CHARACTER.
Cunningham seems beyond all question to be
the murderer of Mrs. Keys. His character is
certainly one of the worst. He has been Jail
bird, bounty jumper, and during his whole life
an outlaw and thief. He has told innumer-
able Hes since his arrest, asserting at one time
that he had never been in New JERSEY. and
atterWard confessing that he had, and that he
had worked along the Morris road at the time
The murder was committed and near the place
where the deed was done. The excitement
here is very great, and the evidence, it is sup
posed, will leave no avenue for Cunningham's
escape. Previously to leaving Cleveland he
sent word to his mistress that she need not
come to Jersey to testify against him if she did
not desire to, as he thought they could not
compel her to leave the State.
WHERE IS THE HUSBAND?
Mr.. John Keys, after the murder of his wife,
remained here for some time. For three wears
past, however, nothing has been heard of him
and his whereabouts are at present unknown
1t is hoped that this will meet his eve as he
undoubtedly knows Cunningham and can give
important testimony during the trial.
Thus, after nine years. Is brought to Justice

money paid for medical attendance. When physi-
clans are called they frequently use this Liniment,
and of course charge several prices for it.
