From tho Norfolk Ledger, 18Th
Our city and section were visited
this morning by the severest storm OF
wind and rain which has occurred for
more than score of years. The raj
commenced to fall Mt an early hour,
and M the day advanced the storm
continued to increase In intensity and
fury. All out door work was suspend
ed, and II wus dangerous for persons
In pass along tho streets, on account OF
the falling trees, signs, roofs, DC. The
storm attained Its heghtbetween half
past II and IL o'clock.
The tremendous force of the wind
also backed the water up In the har-
Dor until II reached height which
we have never seen equaled.
At an early hour the Bcrkley ferry
boat ceased running, and an hour later
the Manhasset, plying between this
city and Portsmouth, was also COM
PEELED to stop her trips, she being de-
tanned on the Portsmouth side OF the
river. I I.
DESTRUCTION TO HOUSES.
Hundred of houses have been un-
rooted, aud chlmneys innumeraole
have been blown down.
FALL OF A CHURcH-sTEEPLE.
The most serious loss which we have
yot heard was the destruction OF the
sleeple OF the Freemaeon-Street Bap'
tIst church, which occurred few min
utes before l2 o'clock, when the storm
was at It's height.
We stood several minutes watching
tho stately spIre as II inclined toward

stronger than the rest, ewept II over

bowling OF the storm ~ far ~ Main
street. Its position In the street Is
from northwest to southeast.
The ateeple aforementioned wa'
repaired about two years since, a'
which time II was thought to be In
dangerous condition. A number ol
tmbers were then taken out aud theiI
places supplied by iron glrders,
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT.
The scene presented along the river
mont wns also one OF desolatlOn. The
water, M far as tho eye could reach,
was lashed into fury by the storm, ano
we fear that but small portion OF The
destruction TO property has yet been
heard Of. About | o'clock the storm
commenced TO subslje, when areport'

Senator Zaehariah Chandler OF
Michigan was found dead in bed at the
Grand Hotel in Chicago, last Saturday
morning, coroners jury finding that
he died of c1rebal hemorrhage. His
last notable effort was made late at
night on the 81 Of March, when the
Senate was considering the amend
lnent OF Senator Hoar excluding Jeffer-
son Davis from the benefits of the
provisions OF the Mexican War Pension
bill. Senator Lamar had made fiery
speech, declaring that secession was
unsuitable and that Jefferson Davis
was not n traitor, but u noble and
high. minded man. Other Democratic
Senators, including Mr.. Thurman, had
apologizcd for or defended the secession
movement. At this juncture in the
debate, Mr.. Chandler took Che floor
and ended it by the following crushing
and whitening speech:

who SIMPLY receive tolerable wages,
keep continually more or less IN arrears
with their meat and grocery bills, and
often with their landlords. The class
we have in mind do this with no sinister
purpose. In the course OF a year they
pay for as much as they have received.
1t IS this fact which renders it so foolish
for them to accept credit, because it
proves that there is no necessity that they
should do so. A little management and
some extra economy Tor few DAYS or
weeks, in some cases months, would en-
able them to start even with the stores,
meatshops. landlords, and to pay cash
tor all they buy. He who accepts credit

find that his coffee is adulterated, the
sugar little suspicious, his pepper is

for dissatisfaction. but doesn't go back
on the man who has accommodated
him until he has settled the bill, wher
he opens an account at another store
with similar experience. The mar
who pays cash will get better goods fo
the same money than the man who take
credit. He feels bound to no shop, bu
buys where he pleases. The profits o
cash over credit. if laid by, will, in
few years. be the foundation of re

THE CHICAGO STOCK YARDS.

In a report on the treatment of live
stock on the railways. made by Mr.. Ia
dok Street, to the American Humane As
sociation, at its recent meeting. we find
the following facts relative to the great
stock yards at Chicago. These are the
most extensive in America; probably In
the world.
They have 1000 cattle pens, 1900
hog and sheep pens, and stabling for l.
200 horses. Fifteen hundred cars OF
stock can be unloaded and cared for
daily. The system OF railways extend
ing into different parts OF the western
states, thousands of miles, center there.
They occupy $50 acres of land. and cost
nearly S5,0OO.0OO. Their repairs cost
$3.50. 900 annually, and it requires zoo
men constantly employed in and about
the yards to do the work required. They
will accommodate about 10000 cattle
10000 hogs. 5000 sheep, and l.OOt
horses at one time. The pens Tor hog
and sheep are covered; those for cattle
are not covered,
