DAMAGE BY TIE GREAT SToRM.-Thc
marine disasters by the recent cyclone were
numerous, and as it was feared, attended with
considerable loss of life. The steamer Ex-
press, while trying to make her way into the
Potomac river, was literally torn to pieces by
the storm, and II out of the SO persons on
board were drowned The survivors were
saved by clinging to pieces of the wreck
The ship A. S. Davis, of Maine, was driven
ashore, near the capes and all but one of the
crew ofnincteen persisted. The velocity Of the
wind at Philadelphia is estimated at 70 miles
an hour, the pressure cXertcd being at least
90 pounds to square foot.
The storm was also very severe on Chin
colleague Island, Va. The crops ofthe island.
ers were nearly all swept away, and small
boats and even large schooncrs were cast up
into the corn fields and on the marshes. A
large number of the hardy beach ponies were
drowned. These the inhabitants stripped of
their hides saving them for what they are
worth.
The steamer Matilda, about which much
anxiety was felt, was tied up at a wharf, about
14mies from the mouth of the Rappahannock
river, but was carried up ashore and consd-
erably damaged. She arrived safely in Bal
timorc, however.

The State Appropriation to the Hartford
Agricultural Society.

Hon. Thomas j. Heating, Comptroller of
the Treasury, has declined to pay to the
Agricultural and Mechanical Association of
Hartford county the sum of 81 1000, appropri-
ated by the Legislature of 1873, unless the
members of the Society first pay into its
ing u provision to that effect
Last July the President and Treasurer, as
usual made affidavit that the members of the
Society had paid in more than one thousand
dollars. This, of course, referred to the
amount paid in when the Society was or
ganized. The Comptroller returned the affi-
davit with request that it should be made
more explicit, and cover the proviso Of the
law, by stating that the required sum had
been paid in since April list, 1878, when the
act took effect.
The officers were unable to say that 81 900
had been paid in by the members since the
day named, but few days ago an affidavit
was forwarded TO the Comptroller, stating
that more than 81 900 had been in by the
members and Others" The Comptroller,
however, still declines to issue his warrant
for the money, upon this affidavit, on the
ground that it is not in strict compliance
with the law. In his letter to Mr.. S. A.
Williams, Treasurer of the Society, he says
81 regret to have to insist, at the risk, per-
haps, Of seeming to be technical, that the
plain provisions of the act of 1878, chapter
36l shall be complied with, before l consent
to issue a warrant TO the Treasurer to pay
the appropriation therein named to your So
ciety. The law expressly provides that the
fact that the members of your society have
paid over one thousand dollars into its treas
ury shall be attested by the uflidavits of the
President and Treasurer, before the appro-
priRtion shall be paid. = y y If the law is
more exacting in its terms than it was inten-
ded to be, it is none the less the law, If, I'M
fortunately, the affldavits do not attest the
fact required to be attesed, | can not do
otherwise than decline to accept them"
Therefore, in order that the Society may
secure the amount appropriated by the Leg
islature, it will be necessary for the members
to pay into its Treasury $1,000. This
amount might be raised by ~lunta1y con-
tribution of 81 per share. Any other method
of raising it would require a change in the
constitution of the society.

Corractton.

We find the following article in the
Crown Point, (Lake County, Indiana }
Cosmas, paper published by John Milli-
kan, brother of the senior editor of the
HERALD. The correction referred to is
due our brother:
''Fhe Laporte Herald entered upon its
41st year last week. The editor, in that
number, gave short history of it's rise
and progress. The paper has undergone
several changes, in name as well as in
editors and proprietors. The history is
mainly correct, but it contains some er-
rOrs. In the Winter of 1s44-5 the paper
was published by Thomas A. Stewart and
Lee P. johnson. Stewart, who was the
proprietor of the paper, had invested
some money in patent reaping machine,
out of which he expected to make for
tune, advertised the. printing Office for
sale, and John Millikan, (not William. )
bought it in March, 1s45. In Is47 his
brother William moved from Kalamazoo.
Michigan, to Laporte, and became MART
ner in the business and leading editor of
the paper. When the Whig party ceased
to exist, and the Republican party took its
place, the name Of the paper was changed
to the Laporte Union, in 1854, by William
Millikan, who was then proprietor. Per
haps one reason for the mistake is tina
William is the elder brother, and wai
twice elected to represent Laporte county
in the state legislature, and served ont
term as mayor of the city of Lsporte. L
matters but little who owned, or pub
lished, the Whig or the Union; but aftel
having spent more than twenty years il
active business in Laporte, it does seen
that we ought to be placed right on tn,
record"
