Il Destructive Tornado.

Cook POINT, Jan. 27.-This neighbor-
hood was visited last night by the Sc
verest tornado that has ever occurred in
this country. Houses were mere toys
in its hands. Twelve or fifteen houses
were blown down; among them were
those of Mr.. II. M. Bowls, John Pol
lock (residence and GIN, Charles Broa-
dus and r. Z. Afford. Mr.. Pollock s
house and gin were put up last year,
pronounced to be the strongest frames
in the community, and are now mass
of ruins, entirely unroofed and blown
off the pillars. Some of the shingles
were picked up two miles from his
house. His clubhouse was entirely I'M
rooted, and some of its timbers carried
Il quarter of a mile. One of the rafters
of the Clubhouse came to the ground
with such force that it penetrated bale
of cotton through, making hole in it
the size of mans head. Never was
the like seen even by the oldest settlers.
Mr.. Chris. Broaddus heard his chin
ney giving away, and took his family
and ran out of the house just in time to
save himself from the falling timbers.
Not one stone was left upon another.
The storm even tore up the floor and
carried it distance of twenty or thirty
yards. His water bucket was found by
the writer two miles from his house; his
trunks. chairs and furniture were found
generally Il quarter of mile from the
house. He and his family were unhuIt.
The storm lashed them to the ground.
and kept them in that position till it
passed over.
The next house it encountered was
Judge Broaddus, blowing down his
poultry house, buggy house and barn,
and moving his kitchen off the founda-
ton, and setting it fiat on the ground
Three huggics that were brought ont at
his house to attend church that night
were blown to atoms, and Il part of them
have never been found. The writer
found one of the buggy wheels and
axle nile from the house. The
wrecks of the three huggics were all
gathered mp and put into two-horse
wagon. L; tore the spokcs ont Of most
of the wheels. leaving nothing but the
tire and fclloe.

The Demand for Pennies.

There is a prospect OF a dearth OF pen
MES. Philadelphia is the only place
where the smallest coin of the Republic
is turned out, and at the present mo-
ment---in fact, for fully three weeks
past--the combined efforts OF the coin
ers have been directed to the coinage oil
dollars. Under the act OF Congress p
700 600 dollars must be coined every
month, and, "a the capacity OF the MINIS
at San Francisco and New Orleans IS
limited. the bulk of the work falls upon
theOne i'm Philadelphia. The result Is that
Col. ShOwden has been compelled to
discontinue the coinage of what are
known as minor COins--cents and three
and tive cent pieces-much to the an
noyance Of would-be purchaser, who, IN
person and by letter, besiege the Cashier 5
office dav after day. 1t was stated
ON Saturday ut the Mint that $4,000
worth of pennies could be disposed
of inside Of Il week, so great Is the de-
mand. 4 month ago, before the com
aye was suspended, from $1,000 to ST.
500 worth were sold daily, and the
books are now filled With orders from
all parts of the country. The officers
were taken back on Saturday by the re-
ceipt OF request from san Francisco
for pennies to the amount OF 81 600.
This is stated to be the first order from
that part of the country for years. Va
rious parts of the South are also begin

Seymour, of New York, the Coming Man
Phillippi Plaindealer.

Seymour, of New York, the Coming Man.
Phillippi Plaindealer.
Public opinion appears to point now
to Horatio Seymour, of New York, as
the coming man as the Democratic
standard bearer for the Presidency i'll
1880. This fully agree with our opinion,
heretofore expressed. Mr.. Seymour has
been lifelong Democrat OF the Ameri-
can type, and if there is man in the
country that can carry New York in
| 1880, it is HOratiO Seymour, who is to-
day one of the purest, ablest and most
efficient men our country has ever pro-
duced, while naught has ever been done
by him, throughout his brilliant and up
right political life, at which the finger OF
scorn can be pointed.
With Seymour, of New York, for the
the first, and PendletOn, OF Ohio, for the
second, on the Democratic ticket, sue
cess is ours. From boyhood Mr.. Sey-
mour has shown a manly and determin-
ed spirit, with lofty and correct views on
subjects of worth to the nation, and
with experience equal to any OF his age,
who from his early cadet life has been
without q peer. Such a man would
carry purity to the White House.
Give us pure, unspOtted men as the
lights tor 1850, and corruption and fraud
will vanish from the highest places OF
public trust.

KIND TO Common People

This commercial man was travelling IN
the north of Scotland with two great no.
bles, who were intent on shooting. We
shall not greatly err if we call them the
Duke of 4. and the Duke ofB. The Duke
of A. is an intensely conversational
man. totally devoid of self-conscious-
ness, and ready to receive or pour out
information " any extent. The Duke
of b. is very cood-hearted, but by no
means equally given to converse. When
the train stopped at a refreshment sta
ton. the Duke OF \. got out TO partake,
according to his fashion, of ginger beer,
and the other two remained IN the car
riage.
"Now, what might be the name OF
your friendo" asked the bagman OF the
Duke.
Don't YOU know him?' was the re-
ply. "Why, l thought everybody
knew him. That's the Duke OF A
The man was thunderstruck.

of the rope. He ran his hand through

Rules for Home Education.


The following rules are worthy of be-
ing printed in letters OF gold, and
placed in conspicuous place in every
household:
|. From your children's earliest In
fancy, inculcate the necessity OF instant
obedience.
2. Unite trmness with gentleness.
Let your children always understand
that YOU mean what you say.
8. Never promise them anything un-
less you are quite sure you can give
what you say.
1. Ii YOU tell child to do something,
show him how to do it, and see that il
is done.
5. Always punish your children fol-
willfully disobeying you, but never pun
ish them in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they
vex you, or make you lose your self
command.
I. Ii they give way to petulance OF
ill-temper, wait till they are calm, and
then gently reason with them on the i'm
propriety of their conduct.
s. Remember that little present
punishment when the occasion arises is
much more efectual than the threaten
ing OF a greater punishment should the
fault be renewed.
9. Never give your children anything
because they cry for it.
TO- On no account allow them TO dc
at one time what you have forbidden
under the same circumstances, at an

London Letter to the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Society and society journals seem
quite at fault as to the cause OF the
Princess LOuise's return home. Some
time since it was whispered that she
was about to gladden. the Campbell clan
by introducing to the world an infant,
Lord Tor Lady Lorne; but latterl y ru-
NOR has been silent on this head 1t
cannot be that she dislikes the Cana
dian winter, for, according to all ac-
counts, written and oral she took to
sleighing and the rest with zest that
would have beseemed a native who was
to the manner born. Mr.-the husband
of Mrs. Scott SiddonS, the actresS,-is
never weary OF relating what glorious
fun they" meaning himself and wife
and the Princess, had amongst the
snow in Canada. 1t cannot have been
for the sake of the voyage across the
Atlantic, since she is poor sailor, and
horrible conjeCture-it surely cannot
be because she wearies OF the society OF
her beloved Lorne. Anyhow, We are
glad TO have her with us. She was at
the Prince of Wales's Theater on Friday
night, along with the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales, and / have it from one
who was present that "she never looked
better"

DR.. Baldwin was elected to fill the va
