this city as saying that the Garcelon be-
quest ensures the removal of the Maine
medical school to Portland. They have
already received pledges to the amount
of some $50, 600 toward the buildings
which the schools must have, or one half
the required sum, and now that this be-
quest gives them an annual income-the
interest on 5000, 000-the remainder of
the $4,000 can probably be secured with
out delay. The advantages to be gained
from the clinical privileges which would
be had in the Portland hospitals makes
the removal very desirable from the
faculty's standpoint.
The Bangor Commercial bears witness
that the registrationin Bangor passed off
without any friction of any kind.
w. P. Rice, who engineered the big
iron and coal works deal at Fort Payne,
is back there again, sending out circu-
lars to stockholders requesting them not
ton of the property until they commune
cate with him. This will interest some
of the people who were sufferers by that
unfortunate collapse.

Lane place, where it did but little
damage save the obstruction Of fences
and trees. From Lanes it passed
through the woods to the old Holly
Grove farm blowing down a large
barn, uprooting trees that have stood
for hundred years or more, and
taking off large flock of geese,
none Of which have yet been found.
Continuing On, it struck the planta-
tation Of MIR. Edward Jordan, de-
stroying two very valuable buildings,
&c. At the farm Of Mr. Richard
Simpson it blew away the house of a
colOred man, Alien Blount, and
Injured three members of Blount's s
family. All Of his furniture was
carrl ed xofr.
Leaving this point it kept an East.
ward course, and when last heard
from it had passed through the Webb
farm where it did but little damage.
WEST OF EDENTON
the cyclone Was equally as severe as
the one to the East of us.
1t began near Chowan river and,
taking a straight course through
Cowpen Neck, swept away everything
in it's patn, 4. tn3 farm of Mr..
Andrew Briggs it destroyed every
thing the man had in the werld, ex-
cept his wife and children, and, had
they beer at home at the time, all
would doubtless been killed. His
dwelling was swept completely away
with all its contents. Those who
have visited the scene all say they
never before saw such a destruction
Of property. Mr.. Briggs is a poor,
hard working man, with large
family, and to him the blow is indeed
severe.
Leaving this place it made it's way
through the woods and farms of a
number Of others, tearing down
stables, barns, fences, trees, &c
At Mr.. F. A. Whites place it took
away nearly every building on the
farm except the large dwelling which
happened not to be directly in its
path. Fences were destroyed, crops
and stock injured, and large trees
were snapped off like pipe stems
Beyond doubt, Saturdays wind
was the most destructive ever wit
messed in this section.

our town was visited with a heavy
hail storm dropping upon US hail
stones the size of large marbles for
nearly twenty minutes, Or more, &C.
companied with heavy gust of wind.
No damage was done, save the break

the wrlnging of of several tree

At about ; o'clock news began to
come in from various parts of the
county, and from all reports we learn
that there were two very fearfal
Cyclones-one on the East side of
Edenton, the other at the West side
both of which destroyed property,
crops, and swept trees as it went.
They originated in Southwark
course-making paths of about 100
yards wide, wherever they passed,
Tnere were several strata of clouds,
which seemed to be no higher than
the tree tops, and which came on
with terrific roar, like that of dis

On the East side of Edenton it

Mr.. J w. Mason, tearing down a
shelter, underneath of which, Paul
Cooper. colored, was caught and
came near being killed. He is bad

crit cal condition.
Leaving this place, the cyclone
then continued IN o straight course
through the woods and farms of
Messrs COrnelIous Tarkenton, Moses
Hobbs and Others. tearing up every
thing IN it's way. At tthe farm Of Mr..
Moses Hobbs it passed directly
through his valuable orchard, where
trees we're torn up by the roots and
nothing but sad waste and scattered
debris remains. At Mr.. Tarkenton' 8.

Twenty-siN years ago day before yes

hills about Chattanooga, Tennessee.
All around were camps, cannon and
soldiers. The camps were gay with
flags, the cannon were firing salutes,
the soldiers were shouting for JOY. Lee
had surrendered, the end of the war
had come, and home was in sight. The
next morning the flags were at half
mast, the cannon were firing minute
guns. the soldiers were silent and sad.
1t was an abrupt transition from wide
spread joy to universal mourning. Om
beloved war President, "Old Abe, "had
been murdered the evening before by a
fanutical assassin. Then it seemed as
if new breach had been made between

MACHINE HARP-PLAYlNG.
Curious Modern Adaptation of An.
Client Instrument

Curious Modern Adaptation of An
Client Instrument.
Harp playing by machinery is one
of the latest novelties. The harp is
arranged so that the plane of its
strings is horizontal. the instrument
lying on the table. safter the fashion of
either. Then, as regards the writ
ten music, the notation of the tradi-
tional stave has been abandoned, and
sheets upon which are imprinted
mysterious groups of numbers are
used instead. When one of these
sheets is slid into a frame made for
the purpose the meaning of the figures
is interpreted.
Each of them falls under a string of
the instrument, and by picking at
them in numerical order with a
beveled pencil of ivory the operator
produces a tune. Time and phrasing
are indicated by the spacing and
alignment of the numbers, nor are the
requirements OF harmony forgotten.
When the melody of the air is ad-
judged insufficient one of the figures
is accompanied by letter, indicating
that a button attached to the instru-
ment bearing the same symbol should
be at this juncture pressed. This &C.
ton, by bringing a small saw of ivory
points into play. produces a chord
suitable to the occasion. Pail Mall
