She hears the dark Atlantic roar;
And, nurtured on her ample breast,
How many a goodly prospect lies
In Natare's wildest grandeur drest,
P.namel'd with her loveliest dyes.
Rich prairies deckM with Rowers of gold,
Like sunlit oceans roll afar;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold,
Reflecting clear each trembling star,
And mighty rivers, mountain horn,
Go sweeping onward dark and deep.
Through forests where the bounding fawn
Beneath their sheltering branches leap.
And cradled 'mid her clustering hills,
Sweet vales in dreamlike beauty hide,
\\ here love the air with music fills,
Arid calm content anil peace abide.
For plenty hre her fullness pours,
In rich profusion o'er the land,
And sent to seize her generous store.
There prowls no tyrant's hireling hand.
Great God! we thank thee for this home
This bounteous birthland of the free;
Where wanderers from alar may conic.
And breathe the air of liberty !
Still may her flowers nntrampled spring,

And yet, till 1 ime shall fold his wing,

DSSTRRRNVK FIRE— On Wednesday last, a
little past noon, a fire broke out in the town of
Bhcksville, twelve miles south of this place, on
the \ irginia Slate line, which proved more de
structive, in proportion to the size of the place,
than any fire we recollect ever to have heard
of. The town comprised from 25 to 30 buil
dings, over twenty of which were entirely con
sumed, together with most of their contents.
Ihe fire originated from a kitchen stov, -pipe,
in the dwelling of Mr. Jacob Lanlz, whence it
spread throughout the entire building, ami
ther.ee over the town. Two or (hree store hou
ses, with a considerable proportion of the good*--,
were destroyed. A. number of private duell

the household furniture in them. We regret
to learn that our friends, F. Brock, Esq., Mr.

)! country along the lir.e of the .Rochester and
Niagara Railroad, yesterday morning, about 7
/clock :
At Brockport, the wind was so violent as to
ear down fences, upruof and twist off trees,
itui demolish chimneys bv the wholesale. Huge
tailstones big as hen eggs, fell in large quan
ities.
At Albion the blow was not so violent, but
t was very dark : obliged to light lamps to see
0 eat breakfast. (Was eating mine when the
J!OW came on, there.) The Irishmen on the ca
nal-en iargerrient ran, terrified, lor shelter. All
Bong the road between Brockport and the Sus
pension Bridge, the (ences were strewn like cob
bouses kicked by spunky boys. In many places
large trees were blown or twisted off at their
trunks. Near Pekin, Niagara county, several
large trees were blown across the railroad track.
1 hr>-e or four houses in that neighborhood were
blown down. Heard a farmer sav, who got on
the cars at P-kin station, that timber in his woods
had been damaged to the extent of twelve or
fifteen hundred dollars.
At Niagara—south of HIP river—the exten
sive car manufactory of Brainard, Pierce &. Co..
was almost entirely demolished : damage about
§20,000. The building was of wood, some
two hundred feet iong, and about seventy wide.
A great number of dwellings were unroofed,
and some utterly ruined. The gable end of the
Scotch Presbyterian church was blown in, slick
and clean, and the building generally injured.
A daguerrean standing in the strept was keeled
over, and the artist and his little son seriously
.h- tatter-supposed fatally. A railroad
car standing on the track was lifted up, bodily,
and carried some four rods. Two schooners,
sen just before the blow came up, off Niagara,
were not to be seen after it had passed overhand
were supposed to have foundered.
At the Suspension Bridge the blow was most
violent, doing more or less damage. The men
who had just commenced work on the bridge,
painting, N.c., ran off when thev saw the gale
coming, and seme were blown violently from
one side to the.other: one narrowly escaped be
ing blown over into the river. The wind howl
ed and sc teamed through the gorge, with a per
fect rush. The bridge, however, sustained not
the slightest injury, and no vibration was per
ceptible when the gale was at its highest pitch.

about 50 miles, wind E., strong gale and high
seas, vessels under double reefed canvas, upon a
wind, on the part tack, perceived a large whale
to windward, coming down lor the vessel, partly
out of the water, and swimming at a very rapid
rate . and when about 10 yards from the sbip ; s
side, dipped, and struck the vessel, under water,
abreast of the fore-riging, on the port side, with'
his head, with a fearful blow, when the vessel
was perceived to heel and crack: and after strik
ing the vessel, the whale plunged in the deep
headforemost, and rose, his tail on high, nearly
touching the foreyard, and then disappeared.
"The pumps were fixed and worked, but bv

well, and settling down fast, when the long boat
was cleared and lashings cot away, and nearly
floated off the decks, when all hands (six in num

twenty mi miles after abandoning the vessel she
capsized, and floated for about the same spare of

"At (he time she capsized there was a French

on perceiving her capsize, immediately bore up

dent of the Greenburgh jJrgus, writing from
Saitsburgh, states that Mr. Getty, ofConemaugh
Low nship, hod his (avorite horse poisoned on
the night of the 24th ultimo. The stomach
was removed and taken to Saitsburgh, in order
to have it analyzed. The mucous membrane
was destroyed where the poison came in contact,
fhe membraneous substance and its muscular
fibers presented unmistakable evidence of inflam
mation—confirming the suspicion that violence
had been resorted to. The animal was worth
three hundred dollars.
