STORMS.

A great storm prevailed in part Of
Berks county On the 2lst inst. 1t took
southwesterly course, passing over
the East Pennsylvania railroad and
through the city of Reading, causing
heavy damage to property. At Top'on
a steeple of a church, with the bell,
was blown down, and house and barn
we're unroofed near there. At Lyons,
further westward, church and several
houses were unroofed. The greatest
damage was done in and about the vii
lage of Fleetwood, about eleven miles
from Reading. Three large barn were
completely destroyed, houses were un-
rooted, shedding demolished, trees up
rooted and fences blown down. The
roads are very much obs,ructed by the
debris of fences, trees, &c.
On The same day, IN Iowa City, Iowa,
i storm ragged, and in teu mirutes did
much damage, overturning cbimueys,
blowing down trees and fences, and in
juring the crops in the surrounding
country. The steeple of the Presby-
teFian church, with part Of the build
ing, was blown down. The spire Of
the Congregational church was wrench-
ed out Of the perpendicular, and its
foundation cracked SO that 1t must be
replaced.
On the same day great rain storms
devastated portions of the counties of
Clark and Champagne, Ohio. The
food was terrific. At Urbana two
houses were washed away. Smith,
tannery was entirely submerged, and
the railroad tracks were covered with
two feet Of water. The first floors Of
many houses had to be .acatsd. Con
siderable damage vas done By the rapid
rising of streams aud the washing away
Of bridges. The crops are thought 10
be seriously affected.

FRaNk KELLY, Philadelphia ward
politician, ''striker" and repeater, who
was-to the Surprise of nearly every
body cognizant OF the circumstances
recently acquitted of the murder
Of Prof. Octavius v. Cato, colored
gentleman of Philadelphia, is now on
trial for the murder of another color
ed man, Isaac Chase, on October 10,
1871. The evidence is strong against
him, but there is little nope of his
conviction, as the evidence in the
Cato case pointed to him as the
murderer, and yet he escaped, to use
his pistol with similar effectiveness
when private malice or the eNgen-
cies Of the campaign demand sacri-
fee We fear the mass of the Amer
lean people have not sufficiently re
covered from the ''only a Niger l"
feeling to do exact justice to their
celored brethren when the issue hes
between representatives Of the Afri-
can and Caucasian races. Cato was
a gentleman IN every sense Of the
word, but his skin was black. Kelly
is a blackguard and a rulfian of infa-
nous character, and although cir-
cumstances and facts combined to
brand him as murderer as well, he
escaped the penalty of his crime be-
c.use-we believe, and say 1t with
sh hlme-,lis skin was white, and his
jury-not the right sort Of men. We
hope, for the sake Of justice and the
welfare Of both races, that if the evi-
dence in his present trial points un-
erringly to Kelly as the murderer Of
Chase the jury viii not hesitate to
say SO, that the Keystone State may
escape the odium which attaches to
most Of the States Of the South as
the protectors OF the political assas-

No clear estimate of the value of the

be given. Certainly Sl0,000,000 or
Sl2,000,000 are gone, and insurance

coin was SO legislated on, or rather
the coinage Of silver money was so
legislated on that the present silver

TIE war news from Europe is Of 4
conflicting character. It is for a
speedy peace, aud Il continued war
by turns. The chances for peace,
viewed from this distant point, seem
poor enough, for dispatches say that
England is about to send an army of
10000 to protect the Suez Canal
The word protection viii sound Ike
a bitter sarcasm to Russia, and nerve
her only the more for the dreadful
struggle L England once gets her
troops in as protectors Of herself
and Turkey, and the canal, she will
become a permanent power, unless
she he driven out by force. 1t is a
sad condition that Turkey IS in The
British Lion, processing to be her
friend, IA fastening himself on her
territory to remain. The Russian
Bear, who IS avowedIy her enemy, is
gathering up her territory in other
parfg, and SO the case becomes more
complexed day by day.
Austria is sending large armies on
the Turkish border 1t looks as Il
sne circle OF the fight must soon get
Inach larger.
