writing from Yorktown, Texas, says
f n [J 7 t h Instant we were visited by a most
! ;■ v hurricane. The day had been exceed
warm and sultry. Between lour arid five
p M., a dense cloud rose in the south
' f accompanied with vivid Hashes of light-
I'Vand heavy peals of thunder, giving evident
"of an approaching storm. Dense black
t-M-es loomed lip like the smoke ola furnace.
Tlv clood soon sepaiated into two parts—one
t steadily upon us, and the other
'! ar vin l round to northeast, again tacked, and
V u ; opening at right angles with each other,
!'L firti. in the wildest lury.
The rain fell i<> torrents so dense that we
...npie to see hut a few paces, and so vio
%vprt* unao. .
\find that our houses billed to pro
't us from the rain, which was forced through
. -v crevice, until the inmates of every house
perfectly drenched. Then came the hail
;„ch a horrid din that we could hardly

t rOP by the roots, fences scattered in every
r^ct ion, "and gardens and corn fields were ruin
by the hail.
One mile north of us two houses were de
m dished, and two miles north one large frame
I ).e was lifted from the blocks and carried
me fifteen or twenty feet, the piazza torn oft
: j the doors bursted out. In all these httild

W. W. CAMPBELL, Principal.
This Institution, hitherto under the care of Rev.
John Lyon, will hencelorth be conducted by the pre
sent Principal. The past history of the Academy
w ill, we trust, be a sufficient guaranty of its luture
efficiency. The branches taught will be the same as
lieretofoie. To mast Kit peincim.es will be consid
ered the most important puixuit of the pupils; and
while it w ill be the constant business of tbe instruc
tor to inqiart knowledge, it will also be his aim to
lead bis pupils to make a practical application of
their acqiusitions. To load the tnind with innumer
able formulas, without causing it to use them, would
be like placing a bow in a child's band, without
teaching him how to bend it. In line, it shall be our
object, as it has ever been, to lead the pupil to
Til I.N K.
We look forward confidently to the patronage of
this community, which has thus far heer. so uener
ously extended, and by an undiminished assiduity,
we hope to merit your support.
