affairs and finance occupied the at
tention of the Senate today. Thurs
ton, of Nebraska, vigorously upheld a
strong application OF the Monroe doc
triue, and was at times warmly ap-
plauded for the patriotic ring of his

ties in a brief, but very energetic,
speech, in which be declared that the
resolution just past by Congress should
be followed by blow, a shot which
should crash through the Sultsn's
seraglio, sweeping back Mshomme-
danism and advancing Christianity.

Particulars of the wreck of the

several wealthy Cubans were in the

over a portion of this county about
z p. m. December &c. At Mr.. B.

blown away in several places and
two large trees blown down-one
broken short off at the ground. The

second story blown in, and then the
storm seemed to sweep with more or
less destructive force over the Boyd,

like jackstraws, blowing fodder right
through fences, uprooting trees, and

throwing large trees across the turn
pike and completely blockading the
roadway. The new brick dwelling
of Mr.. Samuel Baumgardner had
the top taken off, and his barn was
blown owe and two head of cattle
killed and a third injured. The

completely demolished, and but for
