THE LATE STORM,

The storm of Tuesday, the 18th inst, was
one OF the most terrific that we have had for
many years. About 6 o'clock, p. NJ, the
storm burst upon us in wild fury. The
wind blew almost n hurricane, tearing up
trees and levclling fences and fields of grow
ing corn and oats. Rain fell in copous
showers and here hail fell in considerable
quantities. The heavens were in blaze of
electrical light, and the dcafcning pcals of
thunder rcscmbcd the firing of apark of
heavy artillery. Thescen was one of wild,
terrific grandeur and well calculated to make
the bravcst heart quail before the mighty
works of the Great jehovah A number of
trees were blown downby the wind, and many
were blasted by lightning, but with the OK
ceptiOn of Judge Prices barn, which was
burnt, and numerous persons that were
stunned by the lightning, there was no scri.
Gus accident in this vicinity.

Rain, the chief whom Gen. Caster had forci-

pistols as much as they did the sabres. They
used an immense amount of ammunition in

in first class order, would take money enough
to nppal the stoutcst-hcartcd county com.
missioner and make the average tax payer
growl like II bear with sore head. The
remedy, VIC arc more and more inclined to
believe, is in the adoption of the contract sys-
TEN OF road mcndims. The amount now an.
propriated would he sufficient, in the hands
OF good contractors TO keep the roads al.
ways in the best possible condition. Ifthis
plan had been adopted last year, it is safe to
presume that the roads would not be as they
are. II would be the interest of contractors
TO inspect their roads after every rain, and
repair them at The time when it can be done

most marked improvement is seen on the

A Precious PHILOSOPHERS. "A
young philosopher of seven years of
age, who had not got far enough to
hear the Holy Scriptures disputed
by science, listened attentively in
his fathers parlor the other evening
to warm discussion on the Oar
winian theory, and, after the guests
had departed, somewhat surprised
the paternal with: Father, I don't
believe Mr.. Darwin is right"
"What?" said the parent looking
down at his unexpected reasoner,
who stood before him with a little
Bible in his hand; lyon do not, and
why?' Because, papa, my Bible
says God created man in his own
image, and I don't believe it was a
monkey" "Well, WE'LL" said the
sire, laughing, "run along, Tommy;
you are too young to talk about
such things" "But, papa, almost
the next verse says: God saw every
thing, He made, and behold it was
very good.s Now it wasn't good if
men were monkeys, was it? For
you are gooder than a monkey, amt
you, papa?"

ADAPT1BILITY TO BUsINEss.-1t is Gu
rious to note how few men we know
who are really adapted to their occupa-
ton, and how many who are bewailing
their fate. that they have not been
placed in some other occupation in life.
1t is one of the most perfect states of
happiness to be engaged i'll business
that is at the same time pleasure.
Such, we would judge. must be the
case in nearly all the professions, where
man can enter into his work with his
whole heart, and enjoy it every day.
But when one works against the will,
and each days labor is drudgery, and
each release relief from pain, oh, in
deed is labor penalty That will be
model state of society where each is
employed in the occupation that is de-
lightful to him. Attentive labor and
attractive education are the solution of
the greatest social problems.
