lake, the water having poured in UPON
the town until one half Of the place was

little. In addition TO the destruction of
household goods, harms, ETC., large lots
of cattle, horses and hogs were drowned
in Los! river. The extraordinary high
bridge over this river, between Orleans

JAMAICA,
Great FrOstrafIOn in BUsiness-TrIaI of
the BnrbadOes Rioters Damage by
the Recent Gales.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, October 81
There is still very great pr0stration oi
general business IN Jamaica in conse.
quence of the recent commercial panic.
Confidence is beginning to be restored,
however, and there are indications ol
increasing business. The heaviest rain
fall on the islsGd within the past four
years has jDst bsen experienced.
The tTisl of the Barbsdoes rioters has
commenced before Judge PhiUipps, s
judge from z ZEALAND, sent cut by the
colonial Office for this purpose. Governor
HeRessy is so unpopular that he ia
hissed on ths streets as he passes in his
carriage
At the islands Ct st. Martin, st. Bsr-
ton and Anguilla much damage has been
done by the gales. At the former place
several vessels were stranded sad one
schooner, the Mott Bedell, sunk st her
mooriDgs, the crew escaping or shore.
Great excitement is reported, especisliy
in the French quarter, as many as two
hundred and fifteen houses having been
destroyed in that part slone. AT st.
Bsrto and Anguille the destruction Of
property is slsO great, and much distress
prevails among the poor Of these j5ISnds
A correspondent at st Bart0 writes that
some forty houses were blown down and
destroyed and sixty injured.

JOY TURNED TO SORROW.
4 Marriage Mob, Disappointed of its
Sight, MOcks at Sorrow and Jeers
at the BOrrOWers.
A DfsgracefuI Scene-An Outrage on
the DeceHcies and Prophecies of
LIfe-ROmance and Reality.

Lsst night there was quite crowd in
front OF the Alabama street Presbyterian
church, near Poplar, to witness the ex.
pected marriage between Mr.. Robert W.
Cox and Miss Emma DTeisigacker. The
marriage, however, did not take place,
but the people who had assembled there
did not know the cause, as the church
Wss closed and no one present to answer
questions and satisfy their surmisss.
lmpelled by vulgar curiosity and bra-
Z5n impudence, the crowd proceeded
down Alabama street and thence to the
residence OF the expected bride, No. 102
Hill street. The scene there was dis
gushing in the extreme, for the
conduct of the persons that loiteTed
about the premises was repTehensible
and vulgar in the extreme. Boys
climbed up trees In order to get peep
into the house, while men strained their
muscle to look through the windows
and transom. The crowd numbered
about two hundred persons, and we re.
gret TO know that many Of these were
ladies. The remarks of the crowd weie
30 less varied than cruel, and strange as
it may seem, scarcely anything but rid
icule and delight was expressed by the
WOMEN. The crowd remained in front
OF the house for an an hour or more, but
it is pity that the police
did not chance to pass that
way and dispeTse what was nothing less

bid curiosity, and outrage prOprieEy in
the most shocking manner. Every IL
dividual is guaranteed, by the law Of
the land, the protection Of his rights
aud the enjoyment Of life, liberty and
property. Olly last summer was there
an enactment Of most disgracefUl
character by negro mob in this city,
and the affair, while permitted by the
weakness OF our police force, received
public condemnation. Last night anoth-
er affair, almost az aisgraceful to those
who Wilfully engaged IN this intrusion
and trespass, was Witne ssed. So far as
we have been informed, the facts rela-
tive to the expected marriage Of
Mr.. Cox and Miss Dreisigecker are
as follows: TIE mother Of Mr.. Cox
objected 10 the marriage, and told her
son that she would disown him # ne
persisted in his determination. Young
Cox was told this eeveIa! times, and
ate yesterday afternoon it Was repeated.
Anticipating this, he pulled ous OF his
pocket vial, supposed to contain NOR
phine OF lsudanum, aud ssld to bis
mother, "Then this poison shall be my
end" Saying this, young Cox left
home, and disappeared from the sight
OF his.frisnds, possibly to find desih at
his own hands. Hence his failure to he

I NOW have the Tax.bOoks for the State,

law requires that in ninety days after the rs
ceipt OF the tRx-bOoks, all unpaid taxes shall
be put in the hands of cOnstables in each civil
district and ward Of the city. such bills have
the force and effect OF an execution, and Will
be levied upon any personal property found
at the cost Of 50 cents for the levy and per
cent. commission. 1t will be my duty to en-
force the law to its very letter, and cannot
too strongly insist upon all tax-pay ers TO pay
their taxes within the ninety days, and save
me the necessity or issuing executions aud
themselves the annoyance and expense OF
neglect. J. j. RAWLINGS,
