A TORNADO.

Devastation Along the North Atlantic Coast.
During the past week n storm has been rag
ing on the Atlantic coast which has not been
equaled during the past 20 years. Summer
resorts and towns the ocean have been
almost entirely swept away, and havoc has pre-
vailed everywhere. The guests at the Sum
mer resorts have bad TO fee precipitately from
their heretofore comfortable quarters az their
lives were ia danger, the cyclone having
caused the tides to rise 10 such an extent that
most Of The towns were submerged.
Atlantic City aud Long Branch have been
transformed, and from prosperous aud busy sea-
side resorts have changed 10 battered and mis-
ghapen towns. Many buildings have been
blown down or fl0aled away ly the mnddened
waves, and where week ago crowds of happy
people were walking the beach, drinking in
the liie-giVing ocean breeZcs, now nothing but
desolation is TO be seen. The beaches were
strewn with wrecked habitati0ns, women and
children fleeing for their lives reefs were
pounded by distressed vessels; gallant fellows
were drowned like rats and communications Of
all sorts was more or less disturbed, If not en-
trely cut of. In fact il has been most mis-
cradle time for the usually serene coast at this
season of the year.
Strangely enough this fierce storm has been
confined 10 a limited space, and does not ex-
tend very far eastward, while TO the westward
1t is bounded by the Allegheny Mountains
in the vicinity of the Delaware capes. aud vet
30 far as can be ascertained the loss Of life was
not So great as has been feared. Many crows
have escaped through their own skill and forth
tude, or were brayely rescued by our efficient
Liie-saving Service. But there was "A great
many lives lost, and the lowest computation
places them at half a hundred, while other re-
ports place the human sacrifice at least donble
that quantity and IL will DO weeks and
months before the actual loss can be deter
mined, as hundreds of vessels are out on the
broad ocean, which cannot BIO heard from for
months, If they ever heard from again.
Millions of dollars worth of property have
been destroyed, and towns and villages along the
coast viii require years TO replace tho damages
which have been inflicted by the winds and
still more angry waves. The people are very
much disheartened, but will, without doubt,
with the usual American pluck, rebuild their
shattered towns and come up smiling at the
commencement of the coming season, and the
people of the cities will again flock to the sea-
shore.

Judge Wallace Dismisses the Suits of
the Two Legatees.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-In 1872 Gazaway
b. Lamar, wealthy southerner, msde
will, leaving certain charitable requests
dependent upon certain contingencies. To-
day Judge Wallace decided against these
requests in tho United States court. The
requests were for $4,000 to the city of Au
gusCa, Ca, and like amout to the Georgia
lnfirinary for the relief and protection Of
aged and afflicted negroes. Representatives
Of the two legatees were plaintiffs against
the executor of the estate. The will pro-
Vldes that the legatees should have the
amounts stated in case the estate should
realize $1,000 or more for claims against
the government for the seizure Of the
testator's cotton. The testator died
in 1874. 1t was found that
the testator had already collected
a claim which amounted to S342, 818 The
executor therefore had nothing to do with
the claim. In the present sui5 Harriet G.
Jones, administrative after the executors
DEATH was the defendant. Judge Wallace
dismissed tue suits. He held that the tes-
tator, by collecting the claim himself, had
put 1t out of the executors power to comply
with the provisions of the will
