A tramendou* roaring wa heard a though proceeding from the ky and from a direction north of Wm, Bible'* ; the cloud* were low and rolled alcng with unusual commotion, and at onco indicated the approach of a hurri cane; striking the top ofNUtany moun lien it took a straight line for Mr. Bible * whose family became alarmed at the fear ful noise and the *trange commotion of the clouds, and they Bed from the houae. which Hands at the south-eastern corner of the orchard, and seemed doomed. A* the storm approached the noise became more foarftti and toon truck the orchard uprooting ft apple tree*, when there wa* a sudden leport likeaditunt thunderclap, a wirlwind formed in the orvhaiJ, and turn ed upward* into space, carrying large limbs, brush, etc , in it* ftinnel, and hence did not teach the heute, but made it* as cent ertly a fbw rod* from it. The path of thi* hurricane wa* barely an acre in width and on both tides there wa* an almost per feet calm. A* the is approaching when housekeeper* will be looking around for stoves, thev should not forget that Andrew Keesman. at Centre Hall, keep* a large as sortment of tbe best and latent improved cooking stove* and coal store*, at almost manufacturers' price*. His coalstore*. in particular, are calculated to tender talis taction and he ha* the scle agency for this county. He has just unpacked a new stock of tinware, eomprwing ererything needed, tie and *ee hi* jUij. Tbe Reunion ot the Centre Co. Nor mal Imtitute will be held en Tuesday evening. Sept. 9, when there will be a rich literary treat, judgiag from the names and subjects upon tbe programme. Our young friend, Wn. O. Heinle, will delirer tbe Reunion address. The Normal, this sas eioa, has been successful beyond aajr pre vieuk sessien. The Reunion exercises of tbe Excelsior and Eureka societies, on abore evening, will be free. Mr. Fr. Arnold left a bean pod at this office, measuring 27 inches in length. "We observe that our young friend and whilom townsman. Mr. J. L. Spang ler, has retired as assistant editor of the Watchman in order to resume his law stu dies—the short time which he devoted to editorial duties proved his fitness for so important a post, and we know that in the practice of the profession which he has chosen he will alse make bis mark. Joe W. Furey now occupies the place thus va cated— bis old chair—in which he had al ready established his reputation as a spicy writer. Success to both. We have seen a rich specimen of pipe ore, found upon the farm of Hon. Sara'l Gilliland, in Harris twp,, of which there seems to be a large vein on the spot. The ore on the farms of Jacob Rosa, Jacob Stover's heirs, and Sam 1 Gilliland, all in Harris township, and the Ross farm in Ferguson, all lie in a line between the Watson Dank and tbe Boysen bank at Pennsylvania Furnace. The railroad runs through the tiilH'.and end Stover farms and along side the other farms mentioned, and the Bellefonte intersection at Onkhnll is within IS or 20 reds of where tbe ore is found on Mr. Gillilaad'sfiarm. There are fine indications of rich ore deposits along the line of the railroad between Centre Hall and Penn'a Furnace, and also along the Penns creek mountiana. all of which only await the opening of the road for de ▼elopement, and which will be an impor tant source of revenue to the road. Aaronsburg items M. M. Muster, 1 f near Woodward, ha* bought the old Musaina property, lately owned by J. H. Wile, and intends to move into the same by next October. Mr. Phillip's new store is up and under roof. He will have one of the finest store rooms in tbe valley. Rev. Alleman preached in the Luth. church on last Sabbath evening. The new toll-bouse at the western end of Aaronsburg is almost ready for busi ness. Tbe mountains of Brush and Penn* vallies yielded a large crap of buckle ber ries. At some stores in the lower end they sold as low as 6c per quart. The first crop brought 10c, tad at this place 8c per quart is the lowest figure they reached this sea son. A boy. whose name we did pot learn, was killed last Saturday morning a Bcllefonte, while standing on the bridge, at tbe Bush bouse, looking at the wagons of O'Brien's circus passing along. When the wagen containing the centre pole, reached that point, from some cause or other, the team suddenly started to one side, causing tbe rear of wagon to swing around, the protruding pele striking the boy across the hack with such violence as to send him over bridge into the stream, from which he was taken up dead from the effect * of tbe blow. Later— Tbo boy, Shops, is not dead. Wm. From, of Churchville, had a splendid tamarack hay-pole which his friend, John Heckendern, brought from tbe Bear meadows, and which he prixed very highly, and as it was stolen by some one who lives less than one hundred miles away, he requests him to return it within 20 days, and save costs and expenses by so doing. On Thursday evening last, the la dies' Eureka Society, connected with the Normal, gave a public entertainment, on which occasion the "Evening Star" was read to a large and appreciative audience. •Th-a reading was continued far about one hour, and was frequently applauded. The paper contained original and select matter of the best kind, and the only possible ob jection that could he offered, is, that it was deficient in quantity, ft b" been a stand ing boast, aver since the organisation of the Normal school, that the Evening Star excelled the Excelsior Review in point of ability. After bearing beth pa pers read, I am forced to the conclusion that the Star is now completely eclipsed by the planet Review, and that hereafter the Star will be found occupying a secon dary place in the literary heavens. SPECTATOR. Mike Con do has evidently learned the Oecret di*growing potatoes—he informs us that from a bill of Late Rose he raised 73 potatoes, four of which, each, weighed II pounds. about two-thirds more dogs then are nee ded to watch the town. During the war you could not throw a stick in any direc tion at Washington without hitting a half doxen brigadier generals—this is the dan ger the dogged dogs of this place would be in if any one threw a stick. - The Centre county jail now has *ev -nicer, inmates—the larger portion of these we suppose are for violation of the local .epttoniaw and sentenced at last court to 30 days besides SIOO fine and costs.

Mr. tc with Life and Adventure onjPrairies, Mountains, and the Pacific Coast. By J. H. Beadle, Western Cor respondent oi the Cincinnati Commtt • cial, and Author of "Life.in Utah," etc. The National Publishing Co., of Phila delphia, has just issued one of the most re markable, and attractive books of the cen tury. It is well known to every one that, far beyond the Mississippi, and stretching over half the continent, is a vast region which we vaguely term "The Great West" —n region abounding in the most wondor ful formations, rich in precious mineral deposit*, and offering the greatest attrac tions to the settler and the tourist Though so often spoken of, it is almost an "on- 1 known land'" Mr. Beadle went into this region for tbe avowed purpose of seeing and describing it, and bit journeying* and observation* were all governed by a fixed purpose, that of discovering and making known the actual character, condition and resource* of the country visited by him. He first traversed the States of lowa, Minnesota. Nebraska and Kansas, examining the land*, and living and conversing with the people of those section*. For five years be kept moving from point to point, explor ing the Territnrias, and the great and rich States of the Pacific Coast, encountering strange people and innumerable hardships and braving many danger* in his wander ings among tbe savages. He visited the rich mines of Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Idaho; passed into California and Oregon, and tberu enjoyed peculiar ad vantages for seeing land investigating the resources ai d curiostio* of tbose.remarka ble States. He pent,con*iderable time in New Mexico, Arisona and Texas, and hit account of hi* observation* and discoveries in those strange and deeply interesting portion* of our country will commend bis book to the careful uoasld*rtion of the scholar, as well as to ail who seek practi cat information or ainueir.ent. Hi* only companions in bis ttavels in Arizona were Indian guides, snd for week* during hi* explorations jo that Territory he never saw the face of a white men. To prospective emigrant* and settler* in the "Par West, 'this history of that vast region will prove an invaluable assistance, supplying a* it docs, a want long felt of a full, authentic and reliable guide to cli mate, toil, product*, ditfancgt, localities, mean* of travel, etc. It may be relied upon, for it contain* no second-hand in formation. It is comprised in one large octave vol ume of 823 pages, and illustrated with 240 fine engravings of (he scenery, lands, mines, people, and curioaities of the Great We*t, and a new map of the region des cribed 7b® low price at which the work is issued brings it within {i;e reach of all, and the great popqlar interest in the sub ject, and established reputation of the au thor, combine to ip sk e it the best and most popular book of the day. It is sold by subscription eJy, and agnht' l are wanted In every county. The Punxsutawney Argus apoligixes in this week's issue for a typographical error that appeared in a love poem given in its last. It says instead of the line "I kicked her under the cellar stairs," read, "I kissed her under the silent stars," which was quite a mistake, indeed—some thing very for tbßt journal ta commit.

SAVAGE LIFE IN AFRICA - * Human Sacrifices and the Amazons in Dahomey. Au Englishman, Mr. J. A. Sketch ly, has just relumed from Dahomey, on the west coast ofAfrica, and is now furnishiug some interesting illustra tions from his sketch book to the Illustrated I/ondou News. For six months Mr. Sketch ly was the guest of the King, by whom he was very hos pitably treated. He is the only white man that has been admitted into the private apartments of tbe King. There is no town of Dahomey. The capital is merely one of tho royal pal aces, with official residences for the high officers aud the servants; while the Amazons reside within tbe palace in long, barn-like buildings immedi ately outside and surrouuding the private apartments. At each of his nine palaces there are 4,000 of these Amazons. Before Mr. Hkctchly was admitted to the palace he went through cere monials lasting three days, during which he was created a prince of the royal blood, a duke, and a general of the army, but not of the Amazons. He was then permitted to see the va rious customs. He was an eye-wit ness to the grand annual ceremonial when the principal human sacrifices take place. por the sacrifice called the Men -hoo who, the king reclines on a wicker work lounge in his palace. He wears only a blue cottou robe, as he consid ers his dignity so great that he can afford to dress in ordinary clothing Neither the king nor the members of the royal family ever dress in gaudy attire. Above the king's head an umbrella is extended, and this is gorgeous with scarlet, blue, aud yellow figures, cut out with a knife from velvet, silk, and damask. The Amazons sew the pieces together so as to form emplc matic devices. The bird is judicative of royalty. None hut the princes of Dahomey are allowed to adopt it. The top of the umbrella is surmouuted by a wooden ornament, representing a roan with a bird in his hand. The 4 n>a 9 on *ftl'P seated round the King. Hetweeu them and the people a nunther of bamboo rods ere placed in a lino upon the ground. Any man who crosses oue of these rods suffer* immediate death. Soldiers bring in the victims—slaves taken in war, and generally old men. They are gagged by means of a stick with grass rone wrapped round it, which fills up the whole mouth, and Is tied at tho hack of t}je head, Their hands are fasten ed togefhap, ijnd thpy ape Jjrmly boupd tQ baskets whipn'are ntrpetj ou the soldiers' hfttdp, Their bodies are entirely naked, save a single cloth around the loins. Conical hats arc kept on their heads until just before decapitation. The Prime Minister lies prostrate, and receives in that po sition a message from the King to the victims. This message is to be carried Aa a to the fhther of the present King, who o died about nine years ago.' For their '* subsistence on the way be gives them 'd otcb A bottle of rum and n bead of h cowries. The lucu uru then taken to '' ft plutfurui Iweniv f'et bigli iu an ad 'incent courtyard; ihere they are east "| headlong, still bound to the baskets. ' The executioners tbsu cut oil' their " heads and exhibit them to the jw-ople; • after which ihey are placed on wooden altars ! ornament tbo palace gate. ' Tbrtc days afterward the heads arc '(taken within the palace where they are cleaned l>y the Ama tons, and arc ' then used for statu drinking cups, ot- UiaiuenU for drums, tlagstatfs and oils- Cor purpuric*. Tbo bodies of the j victims aio dragged by the crowd .through tiio market place, and are finally thrown into a ditch outside Aboiuoy, where the hyenas aooo make ■ abort work of them. Thousands of skeletons are in this ditch hut not a single skull. The men appear to have 1 uo four of doalli. Mr. Saetchly states that he has frequently looked into, a man's face just at the moment wheu he was about to have his head cut oil',! j and not a muscle seemed to iudicate ' either emotion or fear. The present King is more merciful jthau his predecessors were. He is endeavoring to reduce the fearful | sacrifices or human life entailed upon him on his acccssiou to the throne by the customs of the country. < He generously spares the lives of.! half the number of victim* intended ! for sacrifice. No women are ever!: ikilled for sacrifice, although they like!' the nun are brought out ou the heads', of the Amaxous, to lie carried around j | the courtyard. j 1 Nova Scotia had u severe 1 title !asl l week doing Great damage to shipping; the fruit crop has been almost wholly detroved within a radious of 21HJ miles, fences, trees and barns proatrat • d and shipping damaged. Not in the memory of any resident lias such destruction been known. At the breakwater,erected at an enor mous outlay, the sea played fearful havoc. All the uew work and a por tion of the old is gonu. The docks are also destroyed. The damage to the wharves is ex|>eeted to aeach uear ly 811)0,000, while the other damages, urcludiug that to shipping, will proba bly foot up over 1100,000. It is thought over 100 vessels have beeu driven ashore at the several har bors of Cape llrelou. Seventeen barks and schooners are ashore at Sid ney. It is said that this does uot in clude all (he vessels destroyed, as a ilcet of French schooners nut iu there during the gale and in all probability mauy of thein have been wrecked. Kight vessels arc ashore at Guysbor ough, and every wharf in the harbor there and a number of stores are de stroyed. The brig Nekiua, from Wallace for Bostou, is ashore at -andy l'oiut with tho fore mast gone and full of water. In Autigouih county mauy burus were scattered to the winds, and the destruction of crops it immense. The wharf at Antigonish is destroyed and a schooner which was fastened to it driven ashore. A man uamed McAl den was drowned there. Four res* sels are ashore at Hay field. The ca thedral in Aatigunish town is badly damaged.
