Feeling of Fear at Halifax.

V'LIFAx. March 9-There is a genuine
dng of fear of Wiggins's storm among a
great many outside the city. Not a single
fisherman will leave for the fishing-grounds
tomorrow. Each man will beach his craft
until the dreaded period is past This dread
of the storm has been increased by the loss of
friends and property in Tuesday nights
storm. One vessel went down with all hands
and another wrecked, but without loss of
life. When the fiercest blast of the storm
came on all vessels hove to except tine Agnes
and another. The latter was wrecked at
midnight, but all hands were saved. The
Agnes has not since been heard from.
Among the men on board were James
Thomas, the captain; his son Edward,
and a cousin, Charles Thomas, and
Patrick Brown. The names of the other
two we're not ascertained. The other vessels
rode the storm safely, but spent a wild and
dangerous night.
The weather to-day. is milder than yester-
day. The local prophet says a heavy storm
is near at hand, but only of the violence
usual at this season.
AT midnight an ocean steamer was sighted
south of Tambro, at the entrance of the har-
Dor, making for this port.
At l O'Clock the wind suddenly changed to
the southwest, and began to blow quite a
breeze. The sky is overcast and murky, with
very light snow. There are no storm signals,
however, at the citadel station.

New York Special.
East Orange has been thrown into a futter
of excitement in consequence of having sud-
denly thrust upon it the greatness of having
given birth to the Canadian weather prophet,
Mr.. Virgins. 1t is stated by respectable citi-
zens of this town that Virgins. whose other
name is Benjamin N, used to keep a grocery
store where the East Orange postoffice now
stands. His place twice caught fire and he
was otherwise unfortunate, his business be-
ing unsuccessful. He is remembered as
always having plumed himself upon his abil-
ity TO ~foretell the weather. An East Orange
citizen visited Virgins in Canada, and says
he identified him as the grocer just described.
He is remembered as having been generally
successful in his weather guesses.

Washington Special.
An officer of the Signal-service Bureau, in
this city, when asked to-day whether there
had been any signs of the big blow which
Virgins has arranged for tomorrow, said:
I'VE have received no indication of any
unusual storm energy. and do not apprehend
that there will be any disturbance. 1t is, of
course, possible that a severe storm may pre-
vail on the 18th. but it certainly wi. not
come in the way Virgins indicates. He says
the storm will be first felt in the Rocky
Mountain region, from which it will take a
circuit to the Gulf of Mexico. and reappear-
10 the Atlantic and Eastern States. Now,
the fact is, storms don't travel in that way.
and never do. They sometimes start in the
Sulf and proceed in a I ortheasterly or north
westerly direction, but never travel from the
Rocky Mountains to the Gulf. If there was
TO be a storm on the Northern Pacific to-
morrow we should certainly have received
Indications before this. If we have any
storm at all, it will come from the Gulf. and
that is very improbable. L feel warranted in
saying that Wiggins's theories are all nom
sense, and that his predictions for tomorrow
and the 18th will not be carried out

Strange Freak of the Flood.

Cincinnati Enquirer, yesterday.
One of the strangest freaks of the flood is
reported from Whitewater river, few miles
above Lawrenceburg, where Farmer Hunt
lost forty acres of land, and his neighbor,
Fred Newhouse, had a barren and rocky
millsite converted into ten acres of as rich
land as the fertile ~alley affords. The land
along the Whitewater is as rich as any in the
West, and has only to be tickled with a hoe
to make it laugh with the harvest. An acre
of ground here is an independence for a gar
dener, and ten acres are little less than a
bonanza. During the flood the Whitewater
bottoms were ove wed for miles along the
stream, and the G ordinary height of the
water created currv d, that had never been
known before. nee the subsistence
OF the flood it has been found hat forty
acres of Farmer Hunts richest soil
had been carried away, leaving that
portion of mis- farm practically worthless
until restored by a system of tillage and
fertilizing. Fred Newhouse, who recently
removed to the Whitewater bottoms from
Aurora, owned a mil site just below Hunts
farm. Newhouse's property consisted of ten
acres of rocky and barren land, unfit for
farming purposes. A portion of this was a
large %mill-pond. This ~mill-poud is now fill
ed to the level of the breast of the dam with
the richest soil in the valley, and Mr.. New
houses remaining acres of unproductive
rocks are nowhere to be seen, but are cover
ed to the depth of several feet with the same
rich deposit. Instead of being a loser by
the food he is ahead the value of ten acres
OF Whitewater valley land, which, when
there is any of it in the market, commands
from 5000 to $500 an acre. Mr.. Newhouse is a
fine practical miller, and the whole neigh
borhood just now is put to great %inconven-
fence by the temporary shutting down of his
mill. "If it were not for the annoyance and
delay of changing my mill from water power
to steam power-for 1 am left without a
dam" said Mr.. Newhouse, 81 would laugh
at nv loss"

Medal of Honor for Men of Letters.

SOUTH BEND, March 9.-Notre Dame Uni
versity has i%naugurated a new usage on Letare
Sunday. President Walsh and the faculty
decided to present, on each Letare Sunday,
a medal to a Catholic of letters. The first
one to receive the homo is DR.. John Culinary
Shea, who was presented with a medal and
an address by the ~well-known poet, Maurie
Frances Egan, in the name of the faculty.
The medal is made of heavy gold, with black
enamel, and is exquisiUely wrought. The
address was by one of the students, and is
written in Latin, in Alcaic meter, on
watered silk, embroidered with gold and ex-
quisitely painted. 1t is pronounced By com
petent judges to be one of the finest pieces
of art work Of this kind extant. DIR. Shea,
the recipient, is worthy the honor.

The storm Not Due Till To-Morrow.

OTTAWA, March 9.-GreaG interest is taken
in Wiggins's storm. The weather to-day is

Where is the Storm" In an interview to.
day, Virgins said there seemed to be a gen.
eral misunderstanding as to the time the
great storm would begin. This he added, lis
no fault OF mine, for in my almanac this year
say. under March, that it will will be first
felt in the Northern Pacific on the 10th, and
will strike this continent from the southwest
On the afternoon of Saturday, the 10th. 1t
will cross the continent from east to west,
south of parallel 45, tomorrow afternoon,
and, being detected by the Rocky Mountain1
will pass over the great Canadian lakes
toward the east III Sunday morning. A
great tidal wave must already have occurred
in the bay of Bengal, and a tremendous
storm must now be raging over India. If
the theory OF opposite tides be true-though
| have always disputed it-then a tidal wave
must occur in the gulf of Mexico to-day.
/ am glad to know that the Gloucester fisher
men were wise enough to keep on shore, as
they must all have persisted had they been
on the banks of Newfoundland Yesterday
morning. | suppose there is not a storm
signal displayed on all the North American
coasts at this moment, though there
will be upon us, in a few hours,
one of the greatest storm that has occurred
in the memory OF any one now living. Dur
ing the last six months l have lone every
thing in my power to prevent loss at sea, by
keeping the shipping in safe harbors from
the 9th until the 18th of March. Whether |
will get credit or not, l feel, at all events,
that | have done my duty to myself and the
public. Thu weather to-day must be mild
over the Western hemisphere, for the press
ure is all upon the opposite side of the earth;
but it win be transferred to us tomorrow.
Remember, the storm is not to begin until
The 18th in this meridian, and it will be some
hours before its full force will be expert
enced. 1t will probably last several DAYS.
This is what l said in my letter first published
on the subject, and adhere to it in every par
%ticular. No respectable astronomer has
Tisked his reputation by saying the storm
will not come, and scientific men generally
