Melbourne correspondent Titusville Star:
An unusual sight was seen here last Friday
afternoon; heavy black cloud arose in the
southeast and another still heavier one in
the north, both advancing rapidly in oppc-
site directions, causing the clouds and
waters to play some curious pranks. just
before the squall struck the water on the
west side the river was running like a tail
race toward the south, and on the east side
the current was in the opposite direction;
when the squall struck number of small
water spOuts were formed and moved rap
idly down the river. A party of ladies and
gentlemen at the Goode house watching the
squall counted twelve waterspouts, some
Of them thirty or forty feet high, in sight
at once; the rain fell in torrents for half an
hour, perhaps. J.. K. Alexander and Fred
Prange had been down on the Osprey to
Fred's vegetable farm and had nearly
reached Melbourne on their return seeing
the time was too short to make the dock
they furled sail, heaved over the best bower
anchor and rode out the squall safely; the
opposing forces were so balanced that the
boat scarcely tautened her cable, but seemed
20 be picked up vertically aud then dropped
back again. Several waterspouts passed
close by and one gave them little dash of
its contents. An hour later the sky was
fair and gentle breeze blowing.

both he and she had number of friends.

correspondence and Mr.. Stewart furnished
Mrs. Stewart with sufficient money to keep
her in comparative luxury. The absence

mind TO send for her to return when he was
informed by his friends in Florida that his
wife was unfaithful to him. They wrote
him that on June Mrs. Stewart, who had
become infatuated with a storekeeper at
Kissimmee City, had joined him and was
living with him as his wife. This mans
name is Julius Stevens. Mr.. Stewart at
once placed the matter in the hands of his
friend, 9. NJ. Berrien, a prominent colored
lawyer OF No. so Wall street. who will Sc

upon Mrs. Stewart by publication.
