We will not say that the fury of the
elements is vented especially on Hun
tingdon_this season; but it does seem
to us that we aro getting some of the
most terrible storms on record, for
this latitude. A few weeks ago we
had the painful duty of recording the
death by lightning of two of our citi
zens in the midst of a furious thunder.
storm, and to-day we chronicle the de
vastation committed by another that
surpassed the former one in fury, and
which, while it did not destroy life;
played sad havoc with valuable shade
trees, gardens, etc.
The - storm commenced about nine
o'clock on Wednesday evening last,
and heralded its coming from the
forth-west, where it had been playing
for some time, by flashes of lightning,
thunder, and a stiff breeze. The cloude,
lowered and kept lowering overhead
until about half-past nine, when'a tor
rent of hail and rain descended, ac
companied by gusts of wind that lift
ed everything movable that was in its
way, such as signs, boards, etc., and
carried them a. Considerable distance.
The storm continued nearly an hour,
during which time the lightning con
tinued without intermission, and the
rain fell almost incessantly. There was
but little thunder, however, and the
lightning was similar to that occa
sioned by heat, only more vivid. •
Many of our citizens were out early
on Thursday morning to view the de
vastation. Every street bore marks
of the violence of the storm, . but the
part of town which suffered the most
was at and near the Court House.—
Here, most of the beautiful trees in
the yard, back and front; were shock
ingly lacerated, and the ground was
covered with the branches. Many of
the trees aro worthless. The yards
east of the Court House presented a
dismal appearance; young fruit trees
were broken, grape vines were shat
tered, and the fruit and vegetables
were considerably spoliated. Mr. T.
H. Cremer's beautiful yard of choice
fruit trees and grapes suffered terribly.
_ Other parts of the town we visited
continued to show where the storm.
king had been. Large trees, here and
there, could be seen lyit ,
.on almost
every street, which bad been torn up
Ly the roots, and in almost every gar
den the corn was down, limbs of trees
twisted off, and many fences broken.
Many were lamenting the loss of some
tree or shrubbery that the storm had
ruined.
In West Huntingdon we saw few
trees broken down, as those planted
aro young and hardy, but gardens suf•
fered to. the same extent as those in
the eastern part of the town. Here,
as in many houses in the old town,
people were made to beat a hasty re
treat from their couches, as the wind
beat the rain through the roof, and it
poured down on their heads and bed
clothing in a torrent. Many garrets
were flooded, and even slate roofing
afforded little barrier to the pelting
showers.
We have heard of no damage being
done west of Huntingdon, but south
east, in the direction of Trough Creek,
the storm w,.8 equally terrific. The
side wall of a new brick church at En
nievillo, in the northern part of the
county,
was blown down, and ono
hundred or more trees were destroyed
at Mr. Harry Wharton's place, up
Stone Creek, a few miles from town.
Altogether, it was ono of the most
terrible storms known to our inhabit
ants; bat we are happy to state that
no loss of life occurred, and no build
ings were either blown down or seri
ously damaged. We hoard of some
fearful and some ludicrous incidents of
the storm, which, suffice it to say, can
be better told by those, who were "on
the spot."
The 'Eclipse
The great event of Saturday last
was the eclipse of the sun. Although
the exhibition was not advertised to
commence until five minutes after 5,
many of our citizens, including men
and women, and boys who hail never
seen the like before, bad their smoked
glass ready, and would occasionally
take a peep at Old Sol, just to see how
it looked through smoked glass. Im
pelled by the fashion wo made a trial
in smokino.. ' glass, but, like others, wo
ignobly failed in making the glass
keep its position over the candle with.
out breaking. Wo persevered, how
ever, until we had partially smoked a
piece about half the size we commen•
ced on, and were just in time to see
the face of the sun becoming obscured
by the moon's disk, at the south-east
corner, mapically considered. Almost
everybody was out to sea it, and many
didn't get tired looking until the
ow had gone off the sun, about two
hours afterwards. We were more en
raptured with the magnificent and
sublime shade that was thrown over
the earth's surface than we were by
the shade on the sun. The earth, the
atmosphere, and the sky looked beau
tiful, the ereseent-shaped shadows of
the leaves of trees were everywhere
visible,and the sombre mantle that was
thrown over the mountains, valleys
and fields was lovely in the, extreme,
and bore a close resemblance to the
view that presents itself when nature
is observed, through a yellow-tinted
glass.
P. S.—The sun wont down as usual,
and rose as usual on Sunday morning.
A Mysterious Affair.
On Wednesday night last, shortly
after the heavy storm, Mr. T. M. Bor.
ing, of this place, came near losing his
life by falling into an opening in Stone
Creek bridge; caused by three planks
having been removed. Tbo night be
ing very dark, Mr. B. did not see the
hole in the bridge, and barely saved
himself with his bands. Ile hurt his
hip in the full. As he was raising him
self he saw by a flush of lightning a
man coming towards hitnt from be
tread) one of the arches at the side of
the bridge, who followed him a short
distance. Mr. B. throw some stones
at him and fled, but the man made no
further attempt to follow him. The
case is involved in mystery, but no
doubt the trap was laid for some orie,
and some foul pip* was intended.
Tho following sentences were pronounced
against the two pafties found guilty Of . arson
in Altoona: Thom 4. Boalp to pay a fine
of $5OO and undergo imprisonnieht• in the
Western Renitcntiwry Or the term of ten

Budder& Death.
It becomes bur,-painfuil duty to an
nounce the sudden death of Mr. John
Stroup, a freight conductor and well
knoWn citizen of this place,. on Wed
nesday last. On the mornin g of that
day he-took the Huntingdon and
Broad Top Coal train to Harriiburg,
and at four o'clock the intelligence
was received by his wife that he was
dead. Mr. Stroup took his train in
on time, and jumped off at the switch
to see that it was right, and was in the
act of giving the signal to the engin
eer that all was right when be fell. One
of the dispatchers in the yard ran to
him and found him breathing his last.
His body. was conveyed to the Wash•
ington House, corner of Sixtb and
Walnut streets, and physicians sum•
mooed, When they • pronounced him
dead, and that big death was caused by
heart disease'. For some time' Mr. S.
has suffered Troia heart 'disease, and
the- physicians 'suppose that' the' jar

Seasonable flints
At this season of the year it, requires
the greatest caution in the observance
of dietetic and sanitary regulations, in
order to preserve the health and vigor
of the system. There are few persons
who, in the mid-summer months,
do
not suffer more or less from the die
oases and derangements incident to the
season. It is impossible to lay down a
Belies of rules which will meet every
individual case, but there are certain
general regulations the obServance of
which is safe at all times. People aro
so constituted that they do not agree
in their tastes, and the same articles
of food have almost opposite_ effects
upon different individuals. This fact
is embodied in the homely saying
"What is one man's moat is another
man's poison." There is no fruit, for
instance, so universally harmless and
beneficial as the apple; yet, ,we have
known persons who dare not eat an
apple, as the most serious derange
ments of the system were sure to fol
low. So it is through the whole list Of
fruits, vegetables and meats. Each
individual, who has arrived at the
proper age, ought to be able to decide
for himself what is harmless and what
injurious—or, in common, parlance,
what "agrees with the system," and
what does not. flaying ascertained
this, he should con fine himself to that
which is agreeable, .and discard every.
thing belonging to the hurtful class
Then, excessesin eating and, drinking
—overloading the stomach with agree
able food—ought to be carefully avoid
ed. "Too much of a good thing" may
prove as pernicioas'as any article posi
tively bad. "Be temperate in all
things," is an injunction always appli
cable, but especially so in the dog
days. Nine-tenths of the sickness of
the present day results from reckless
disregard of the plainest hygienic rules.

Very few persons know the Value of
the White House to this country. We
do not mean by this the palace at
Washington, but the white painted
dwelling, wherever it may be: White
paint not only preserves from rotting,
but by forming a hard coating pre.
vents soft wood from giving out its or
ganic decay to the atmosphere, and
renders the air healthy.' Country
physicians have observed that there is
twice as mach low fever, typhoid and
the like, in unpainted houses, as in
those which aro properly protected.—
White paint is of more real importance
than all the carpets and mirrors in the
world. Those who would obtain the
article of the best quality should apply
to McKnight & Co., Twenty-second
and Race streets, Philadelphia, Penna.
This firm makes a specialty also in
Permanent Syrian Green and a Japan
Dryer, which they guarantee to be of
a superior quality, and cheaper than
the same can be manufactured else
where. McKnight & Co. also manu
facture a chemically pure Carbonate
of Lead, and import every conceivable
grade and quality of Lead and Zinc
Paints.'Colors, &e., at the very lowest
prices. Kremnitz. is the name of a
city in Prussia, whence comes the whi
test„of white lead, and McKnight &
Co. have-adopted it as the name of
their celebrated brand of pure white
lead paint, whose manufacture has
made their name famous in the trade.
Dealers or parties interested please

Church Destroyed by Storms
Ede. Globe :—The Bethel Presbyterian
Church on Sharer's Creek, about three miles
above Petersburg, Huntingdon county, Pa.,
was very badly injured by recent storms, so
that it is nearly a total wreck. At first sight
the damage appeared to belo,t -- - slight., The
roof was broken and moved somewhat out of
place. Four men went•up into the garret to
repair the dainage; when the girder which
had been broken, dropped about throe feet,
precipitating about half the joists and ceiling
into the body of the church, injuring. but not
fatally, two of the Men, and breaking, the
pews, &c.' The walls are forced out of plumb
and many of the timbers are warped and bro
ken. It will cost considerable to repair or
rebuild it. The congregation, which is-a
weak one, had at much expense and self-de
nial; repainted the house outside and in, re•
fitted it witlicarpet, - Matting; &a. Now they
must, I fear, begin anew. They are notable
to rebuild without help. Who will Come' to
their assistance? • . ,

The men who'were injured by the failing
timbers &c., are Mr. Wm. Livingstone and
G. W. Wilson. They both received severe
scratches and bruises. No limbs were bro
