SEVERE STORM OF SPRING.
Heaviest Gale Of iie scas0E-scho0ner
Biowa AshOre-Eoat swampea-The
Yeraal Eoscs EEcr Auchor, Etc.

On Thursday, the 8th inst, probably
one of the severest gales OF the season
prevailt along our shore, the day
ushered in with fresh breeze from the
southwest, With very heavy sea ruu-
ming in from the Gulf, which steadily
increased till about o'clock in the
afternoon, when the wind suddenly
hauling to southwest it blew with ter
rible force, causing very ugly sea to
rise, the prevalence of which was, how
ever, but of short durance, only lasting
about IL hours. The wind during its
greatest velocity, we should judge, was
about sixty miles per hour. The little
schooner Delmore, from Biloxi, running
breaking her rudder irons, which rem
dered her unmanageabe in the sea-way
there being bat two men on board
and their auchor very light one, with
but short range of chain, which was
not spf1icient to hold her, she was con-
seqn ntIy blown ashore, where she now
lays high and dry upon the beach. The
schooner Carrie Merrick, lyiug some
distance in the hsrbor, also dragged
her anchor within a short distance of
the shore. A boat belonging to Messrs.
Taggelt & Co., stevedores, and lying to
an anchor near one of the wharves, was
swamped by the seas dashing over aud
filling her with water. Captain Cain. OF
the schooner Vernal, boand to this port
from Galveston, states that he encoun-
tered the gale about ten miles to the
eastward OF Horn Island Pass. between |
the islands OF Petit Boix and Daupbin,
and that being near the shore, and the |
wind directly ahead, with tremendous
sea.way running, he stood into the pass
or channel between the above named |
islands, where he intended coming to sn |
anchor until the wind and sea moder-
ated. He let go both anchors, with all |
the chain that could be possibly spared,
but as the wind and sea increased 10 |
magnitude, causing the vessel TO pitch |
very heavily. she soon parted both her
chains, thereby losing her snchors aud |
leaving her in a very psrilous position,
the only alternative being to put to sea
again. By this time the wind had in-
creased, and was blowing furiously, and !
the sea was one continual break, which |
placed the vessel in very dangerous
situation, and it was only through the |
heroic efforts and assiduous exsrtioos |
on the part Of the captain Ia stranger |
on this coast that the vessel was worked |
out and brought slfely into port. We I
will here comment upon the success of
Captain Cam under the perilous cir ]
into which he was placed.
aud say thst in our opinion be is Ger
tsinly deserving Of great praise and
creditor his really gallant and di.ige1t
efforts IL saving the vessel forits owners.

REPLY TO FLIRTED.
SCRANTON, March IL. 1877.

SCRANTON, March IL, 1877.
EDITOR STAR: Will you allow me a
small space in your valuable paper to re-
ply to the communication of "Flirted?"
have read the communications of
both "Snooks" and "Fiirted." I COIN
eide with the former in most OF his
visws, therefore direct my attention to
| replying to the ospersions Cast at my
sex by the latter.
He states that Snooks woull have
more admirers among his own sex if he
had given the "female flirt piece OF
his mind" Perhaps he (Snooks) has
not met that maligned person, as I
should jndge Flirted had, from both his
communication AID signature. The OBJ
! ject Of MS affection might not have
Tilted him if she mad found him less
simple. Now will reply to that most
uncalled. for com munication.
'Tis true We are sent to school to OBJ
tain all the kDo Wedge that can be inn
parted to us by our teachers. Some
times We enter society at sweet six
teen," oftener at twenty; then We put
forth all our powers of attraction to
please our friends, not that We wish to
fascinate the opposite sex. 1t is our
mission to please all we can, and is it
our fault because some poor simpleton
imsgines we are angels. and asks the
pleasure Of paying our milliner bills.
etcS
Who tausht us to firi? Did the
young men2 They visit young lady,
and in words, actions, and in every way,
show their partiality for her; at the
same time two or three others receive
the same attention from them, and
finally when they decide to take
one or leave all (which is more slikely),
they get out OF it by saying, II was
only friend" or 'she was flirting and
| could not trust her." Oh, noble spec
linen of humanity blame US not for the
wrong We do, but yourselves for the
example you set US.
l admit there are some few women
that only live to trif1e with the hearts OF
men; and how many men that use our
hearts as they would foot ball or any
other plsything or toy? We have not
the intoxicating fluid nor the csrd-table
to allay our sorrow, but must "suffer
and be strong" How many poor, fool
ish women die Of broken hearts that is
set down as consumption or heart-dis-
e esse?-and heart-disease Of the worst
kind it is.
No! you lords OF creation think VS.
care for nothing but scandal and dress.
/ know different. There is not one true
woman on the globe that cares one iots
for dress when it is weighed against her
affections.
You speak of the young men who are
going to ruin. I have no
doubt but all Of them that love "oorn
juice" make that an excuse for intem-
psrsnce.
Far be it for me to shield my own
sexl But I know that no woman he
she ever so great firt will trife with
the affections Of an honest heart. We
read man intuitively, and when we
And he has no heart, and is trying to
make us lose ours, then, Of course, We
grid on our armor aud vanquish him 1t
we can. There are few young man that
have the fnesse to be en- accomplished
hirt, and we too often find the would-be
paragon is not un homme il faut, so We
come to the conclusion that
It's better to wait,
Then find we're sold when too late.

totally consumed four houses. Three
Of the cottages were owned by James
A. Ullman, the other by ID. Il. Carol.
BY the heroic Efforts of our fremen,
ably seconded in their efforts by the
citizens, the furniture was nearly all
saved. The buildings had been fn-
ished but short time and we're an or
nsment to the fret ward. The loss falls
teiyiIy on Mr. Ullmsn and he has the
sympathy Of all our citizens, as he is
universally esteemed. The loss is esti-
m ated at s15, 900, on which there wa.
an insurance OF $4,000 1t is clearly
proven to have been the act OF an in
cendiary, but as yet no clue has been
got OF the miscreant. More anon,
HARRY.

MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS MISTAKEN.
A Citizen of Scranton Assaiied by
Three Men at IIidnigbt.

On last Friday uight, as Mr.. Cause
was going home from his office, where
he had BEEN kept till late hour writ
ing letters, he was met by three men
who approached him from different di-
rections in very suspicious manner.
He ordere them to halt, and not COM
plying to bis command he fired at the
ore nearest him. He then turned to
the other two, and by the use of his pis-
tol brought them to stand-still. After
getting them in range he msrched them
down to Mr.. PIckct's residence and
called him to his assistance. His first
thought WAS TO carry them to Jail, but
after consultation with Mr.. P. they con-
cluded to let them go, after administer
ing to them some good advice in the
way of pair of strong boots, a Ia Bo-
gsrdus, and hickory stick. The men
said they were hunting boarding
house, but evidently their intentions
were to rob Mr.. Cause, and would have
done SO had he not been armed.
