Heavy Rain Storm.

One Of the severest rain storms
that has occurred in this section for
many years passed over this city yes
terday between six and seven O'Clock.
The rain poured down in torrents
flooding many of the streets in short
time, from pavement to pavement.
The rain was accom- panied at the same
t me with a gale of wind, and vivid
flashes OF lightning and heavy peals
Of thundc-, that fairly shook the foun-
da a.ion Of the houses. That portion
Of Conduit street, from Duke OF Glou-
cester to Main street, down to the city
dock was perfect river, and barrels
aud boxes that happened to be left on
the side walk, disappeared like straws
before a food gate Several trees in
the city were blown down, and many
were stripped of their foliage. A large
tree in the yard of MIR. Jackson
Brewer OH Market street, was struck
by the lightning which also struck
the corner of the house, tearing off a
portion Of the shingle roof. The same
current also struck another tree in the
same neighhorhood, and stunned a
boy who was near by.
Several small boats that were
caught out in the storm were cap
sized, but no one drowned, as far as
we could learn A batteau, with its
occupants, on Spa creek, who were
endeavwing TO reach shore, was
struck by heavy flaw of wind and
turned completely bottom upW ards.
Those in the boat at the time clung
to tie uptuAed craft with tenacious
hold, until the boat was carried by
the wind to the opp site shore, A
4rge tree in front OF Mr.. G.. H.. Dex
ter's billiard saloon on Md. avenue,
was blown down, completely block
adtd the street, fortunately it did
10 damage in is fall. Considerable
washes, we learn, were made in some
parts of the public road, and several
rees aud heavy limbs were blown
across the road A large cedar on
the road near the three mile oak, aud
fronting Mr.. Il X. Carey's property
was blown across the road. No
serious damage we learn was done to
the railroad, and trains arrive and
depart as usual. 1t is said by some
of the old residenters to have been
the severest storm for many years.

The Cndets, summer Cruise.

The naval cadets summer cruise
will terminate on the 2Sth of August,
when the cadets will be given holiday
far a month. After voyage at sea
of 2l days both of the practice vessels
have returned to Portsmouth, \. H.,
which has been the headquarters for
the cruise. The start OF the Constel-
lation from the Capes was made on
the 2Gth of June with brisk south
easterIv breeze that made seasickness
quite prevalent on board, but the
three weeks at sea is said to have en-
tirely cured the disease. The Dale
left Cape Henry on the 30th of June
For several days during rough
weather the dining tables on the
Constellation were scantily patronized
by cadets, who could be seen lying
about the spar-deck occasionally mum
ching a hard-tack or sea- biscuit, which
is favorite sedative among them for
sea-sickness.
During the cruise the cadets were
exercised at sail and great gun drill
the routine being to close reef the sail
every evening and make it again in
the morning. The national salute of
q guns was fired, and the stars and
stripes displayed from the mastheads
of the practice vessels on the Fourth
of July. On the 9th instant the crew
and cadets were exercised in target
firing with great guns, and although
there was considerable swell the tar
get was hit several times. On the
18th land was sighted, and on the
evening Of the same day The vessels
anchored off the harbor of Newcastle,
n. III. With the exception of four
days rain the weather has been fine
for cruising purposes. On Sunday
last, about 40 miles off Boston, Capt
Harold Traines, in asssmaIl dory, boat
was met. The only occupants were
himself and at, and they were on a
voyage to England from Bath, Maine.
The u S. ships Dale and Constella
ton will remain at Portsmouth, n.
H., until the last of the month, when
they will sail direct for Annapolis.

Miss Helen Owens, the young

On demonstrating with Platter on
the foolishness of marrying outside
his race, he answered: "She wants
me to marry her, and Pm going to
do it," After the marriage the par
ties went to the house of Plater's
sister, near Benning's Station. The
family and friends OF this young lady
who are highly connected socially
and intellectually, are greatly dis

Every effort was made on the part of
DR.. Richardson, a brother-in-law of
the woman, to prevent the consuma-
tion of the marriage, but unfortunate
ly he made the serious mistake of not
first procuring warrant for the ar
rest of Platter, and then reqnisition
