Correspondence Of Burlington Hawk
eye.
Speaking Of bad roads, I was re-
minded of how impatient one used to
get because the army did not move
faster as it went South from here in
1861 and 1868. l went down to Boil
var, the county seat Of Hardeman
county, a few weeks ago; a glance at
the roads was Il sufficient explanation,
at least is was very plain to be seen
that the boys had something else to
contend with besides rebel armies. 1
thought l knew something of mud in
Iowa, but our roads can't ''touch bot
tom" with West Tennessee.
Bolivar was the headquarters for a
time of Humans brigade, Is a beauti-
full location about two miles from the
Hatchie river, and in the midst of &
rich agricul Cural district, and has
rather more the appearance ola north
ern county capital than any other
place I have visited in this part of the
State. The court house was burned
during the war; l think while General
Sturges was in command. A new one
has been built, and is a very neat, CON
venient edifce. The town has popu-
lation Of about four thousand; commo-
dious school houses, and several credit
able church buildings. The Episco-
palians indicate rather the most enter
prise. i had the pleasure Of making
the acquaintance of their rector of Saint
James parish, Rev. w. G. Gray, and
learned from him that in five years
prior to 1873, they raised and expend-
ed in erecting their church edifce and
Saint James Hall over $50, 600. Their
school is on a good substantial basis,
and the parish entirely free from debt,
rather an innovation on the way such
things are sometimes done.
In the court house yard stands a
beautiful monument Of Italian marble,
on which l read:
''Though men deserve
They may not win success,
The brave win honor the brave
vanquished none. the less"

THE EASTERN TORNADO.
Loss of Life Greater Than at
First Supposed.

BosToN, July 1.-THE storm yester-
day was very severe at all points. The
loss OF life is greater than at first sup
posed, and mainly caused by the capsiz-
ing of boats. Thomas Dundon and wife,
two sisters and niece, and Arthur Rea,
were caught by quail and all drowned,
except Mr.. Dundon.
A yacht capsized off Mantasket Beach
and four persons were drowned; one
man, two women and two children were
lost off Governors Island, and three
bodies have been picked up on the
beach. The rain fall was very heavy
in various places, and some hail stones
measured seven inches in circumference.
The lightning caused the loss OF a few
lives. .,
Two boats capsized off Sietuate, and
three persons were drowned near Mon
treal. Mrs. Peter Robertson was killed
by lightning. Round about Kingston
and Saugerties, New York, the crops
were ruined, and barns, fences, and
outhouses were blown down. The hall
stones resembled large chunks OF ice.
Charles Baxter and Marcellus Bent
were drowned yesterday off Long Island
by the capsizing OF boat. .,
The house OF Mrs. Hayden, in South
Braintree, was partially destroyed yes
terday and herself and young lady SO
seriously injured that they were brought
10 the hospital to-day.

PENNSYLVANIA BONDS.
The Overissue Explained.

BEDFORD SPRINGS, July 1.-THE sup
posed overissue al State bonds is fully
explained by the discovery by the In
vestigating Committee OF the coupon
book, kept in the State Treasury, but
supposed heretofore not TO have existed.
By this book it appears that $4,000, 900
of bonds were issued of the date of 1852
and S5O0,000 of the date of 1858. These
bonds were placed in the hands of the
Girard Bank, and s., 100000 returned as
sold and receipt given TO j. Bailey,
the Treasurer, fOrthe other 800, 900. This
receipt remained in the Treasury till
1853, when II. s. Magraw, then State
Treasurer, demanded the return OF the
bonds. The bank, or its president, re-
turned instead of the bonds of 1858,
$4,000 in money, 900 in bonds OF
1858, and S21 900 in bonds of 1852, max
ing a total of 100000. The Auditor
Generals office at that time
appears to have noted the fact that
S2l 900 of the bonds were dated 1852,
but credited them to the loan of 1858,
thus making the loan OF 1852 5000, 900
and of 1853 $426,000, instead of 81 ,979,-
600 for 1852, and SAG, 900 for 1858. Thus
the apparent overissue is simply more
of the issue of 1853 and less of the issue
of 1852, one amount balancing the
other.
