STORM IN OREGON.
Great Damage Done at Portland and the
InterlOr-.-Loss Of Life.

CHICAGO, January 14-San Fran
cisco telegraphic communication with
Portland, which has been interrupted
for week, was restored to-day. Dis
patches state that on the 9th inst.
Portland was visited by the most Sc
we're storm ever known since the set
Element of the country. The direction
of the wind at the commencement of
the storm was southwest, but later it
yeered to the south. But little rain
accompanied the storm, though heavy
clouds passed overhead during its con
tinuanee. The damage to property in
the city is about $4,000. The steeple
of the First Presbyterian Church was
Frustrated, several small houses we're
blown down, and many roofs, signs,
etc, were torn of. But little damage
resulted to the boats and shipping on
the river. While the storm was at its
height, Bremen Hall, a large two
story building, was prostrated, and
four men were caught under the ruins.
Jack 0'DonneIl sustained very severe
injuries. and Harry p. Heinrich
was instantly killed. In East
Portland new Catholic church was
Frustrated and reduced to complete
wreck. A number of buildings in the
same place were blown down or un-
rooted.
Reports from the interior indicate
that the storm ragged with great yio-
lence. 1t is not possible to estimate
the value Of the property destroyed,
but it will certainly be great, and OBJ
structions of roads will in many loeali-
ties for a time stagnate business.
| Owing to fallen timber and damage to
railroad bridges, railroad trains will
be delayed several days. Telegraph
| lines between here and Dallas are
buried under fallen timber SO deep
that new lines will have to be con
strueted At Umalilla much damage
was done. The gale attained tor a
short time the velocity Of so miles.
So far as known there has been but
little loss of life from the storm. Great
numbers of cattle are reported killed
from falling barns and trees. Two mer
named Mason and Handle were frozen
to death on Saturday night, neal

road. At Tocentre, Washington Ter
ritory, trees were blown against =
school house, demolishing it. Twenty
children were in the building A son
and daughter of John w. Bartlett
we're instantly killed and another
daughter seriously injured. No dam
age to shipping at Astoria and Van
couver. Several houses at Garrison
we're prostrated. No lives were lost,
but much damage was done. At Sa-
lem portion of the roof of the State
house was blown off; also the academy
of the Sacred Heart.
The body of Jacob Swanger, aged
sixty years, was found horribly mutt
lated in his cabin, in Washington coun-
ty, on Friday morning. He was evi-
IDENTIFY murdered for the money he was
supposed to have inhis cabin.

Who would wear inertia CALLING chain,
VI crouch to blind existence tame
lhe while there sounds the trumpet call
Where grand endeayors live or fall,
And proud ambitions trophies shine
With glamour more than half divine?
Not ofthose who calmly breathe
And live their idle summers day;
MY thoughts the forked lightnings wreathe
And tempests follow in my way.
Not | of those whose pulses beat
Smoothe as soft, unrufiled seas;
The grandeur ofthe heart is sweet,
Torn by raptured agonies.
Not | of those the glad and gay,
Like bubbles on some shallow stream,
The notes that glitter in the ray,
And fade with fading daylight's beam.
Tie slothful at their ease recline
On beds of thornless rose supine:
But be the blasted summit mine
OtrQeks-too bare for tree or vine
One shoot or branch or leaftO grow
Ofyerdure rife their banks below;
let others dream in sylvan bowers;
me butterflies Of springs soft hours;
But mine the lonely solitude
yer which the stars of heaven brood,

Like babes upon their mothers breast,
MhQ.has not stood with eyes upturned,
" nth forehead bare and bosom burned,
Upon such height, that has not felt
sublime the beauty Of the armament,
Each sense Of selftO awe subdued
In converse with Infnitude?
Who has not felt the bosom glow
With thoughts the angels know;
All round about one boundless sea,
Blue-b black, star-gemmOd immensity-
And felt the, worth Of ons such glance
With more than lifelong joys entrance?
Those innate feelings are my own,
As free and bOundless as the zone
lm0gned of that earth or sky,
Beyond the ken of human eye;
Ny own unbought immortal dover,
| soundless deep of mental power;
An heritage Of yonder heaven,
To Love and Isolation given.

THE Nashville people are moving in
earnest to be ready to celebrate the
centennial of that city next April.
An exposition will be held which will
be worthy of the capital of Tennessee
and the occasion. A large building
will be erected for the purpose, which
will cost perhaps $4,000. The people
are subscribing literally and the com
mittees are busy perfecting their plans
The event to be celebrated will be one
of great interest to the whole State
and will attract wide attention. We
commend the patriotic and enter
prising spirit in which the people of
Nashville have taken hold of this mat
ter and hope the celebration will be a
complete success, Of which every citi-
zen of the State should feel proud.
