A VERY severe gale visited some portions OF
the state, Friday, doing considerable damage
in various places, but notably at Burlington.
The Free Press says: The water in the lake
was almost unprecedentedly high and the gale
blew 1t clear over the breakwater. The waves
dashed over it in right gallant fashion and beat
upon the wharves with tremendous force. The
heavy beams Of the breakwater were torn off
and the great iron stanchons bent and broken
and as well as could be seen two or three
courses of timber were torn away The docks
we're covered with great beams, broken plank
and chips 1t looked as If that portion Of the
break water on which the house stands was
completely undermined. The Oldest portion
OF the breakwater has held the fort for
nearly half century (since $780, and never
before, we believe, has it suffered as it did this
time. The wharves from the Central Vermont
station north suffered great damage probably
$4,000 or $4,000 All the wharves suffere
more or less. Linsley's breakwater was swept
entirely away, as was also the Central Vermont
pier, which was repaired last season. Some
idea of the tremendous force of the waves may
be gained when 1t is known that the spray was
dashed as high as the top of the water-works
chimney, which is eghty-fve feet in height,
and is situated something like one hundred
feet from the lake. One walking along the
railroad track, two hundred feet from the
shore, could feel the spray thrown up as the
waves dashed again st the wharves. The streets
in the lumber yard along the shore were filled
six or eight inches deep with water. The boil
ers formerly used at the pump-house were
lying upon the wharf aud the waves tossed
them around as a child would play thing
The fury Of the wind and waves formed q
magnificent sight-the water dashing CON-
pletely over the tall lighthouses, rolling in
shore with irresistible violence and breaking
upon and over the wharves. The scene along
the shore is one Of destruction and chaos. Sell
dom, il ever have our people had such an op
portunity of witnessing the effects of the tre-
mendous forces of nature, and the shore was
fairly thronged with people. 1t is doubtful II
a more terrific gale has been known on thu
lake within the memory of living men. Sin
gularly enough, the wind spared the piles o
lumber and they were tossed about much less
than on occasions of comparatively insignif.

The MteeIer Trial.

The second day of the trial of E. B.
Wheeler for the killing of ]. p. Matthews
was begun at $50 O'Clock this morning,
with another large crowd in attendance.
The whole day was consumed in securing
jury, it being almost impossible to find
Iaen who had not formed or expressed an
opinion as to the guilt or innocence Of the
prisoner. Judge Wharton announced
from the bench that he was determined to
have fair and impartial Jury, if the en-
tire term of the court was necessary to OBJ
tain it. No man should go into the jury
box who had the least bias one way or the
other. He further said that no man who
was in the party of mounted men that
rode into town on the day before the elec-
ton, Wheeler being of that party, shculd
go upon the jury. 1t was nearly o'clock
when the twelfth man was accepted and
the panel completed. The Jury stands
eleven white and one colored. The trial
was then continued over until tomorrow
morning at 80 o'clock, when the exam
ination Of the States witnesses will begin.

The Sale of Lots at tshef.eld-Good Prices
Realized.

tsPEcIAL 10 TEE APPEAL
TUscUNBIA, May S.-The sale Of lots az
Sheffield was inaugurated to-day. There
were fully 25O0 people on the grounds,
principally capitalists from all parts of the
country. The terms of the sales were
one fourth cash, the balance in or3 awo
and three years, with mortgage and inter
est at eight per cent. There were 113 lots
sold, aggregating $S7,73O The highest
price paid for a lot was $3.50, the
lowest being S405. Moses & Bros, OF
Montgomery, bought the first sold for
$1,000. The company have appropriated
Sl2, 900 for improving the wharf. Eight
cen residence lots were sold and ninety
business lots. G. w. Adair, of Atlanta, is
the auctioneer. The sale of lots seems
perfectly satisfactory both 10 buyers and
sellers. Several purchasers are offered
large premiums on their bargains. 1t is
evident that the prices realized far ex
ceeded the expectations of the people,
but buyers claim they made Grst-class
Investments. As near as we can learn
the principal buyers will proceed at once
to improve the property. The Mobile
Real Estate Company purchased several
lots on which they will proceed at once to
erect storeholses, and could mention
numerous other parties who are
here from all parts of the country organ
izing stock manufacturing companies.
A hotel company is organized and all the
stock taken with capital OF $4,000
They have been offered ten per cent on
the investment as rental for the naked
house when completed. The manufacture
of brick is going on extensively. There
are about 500 lots to be sold
on the 9th and 10th instant. Every house,
public and private, in Florence and Tus-
cumbia is packed with visitors, and two
boats at the wharf each furnished beds
for fifty-five persons, and chairs for twenty
