THE POLITICAL HO] TUo Coming fltorm-Flasbevo den. Grant Dissected by a Bndlcal San* grade—Scathing Review oftbe present Administration by a Lively Bepnbll can. I Under the above startling heading that staunch Republican newspaper, the New York Sun, republishes the following re markable letter from Washington to a lead ing Radloal paper In tbo Woit the Cincin nati Commercial: \ A morning gust sweepß do.wn upon us dally from Long Branch-. It is. disgust Forney contlnuotr to edit (grant’s cigar stumps and the hours of Mrs. Grant’s baths. These things are ambrosial to (sycophants; they are nauseous to sound Stomachs. I burn my oigar stumps no shorter than Grant’s. Your wife keeps herself as clean with ablutions as the Mistress President. Why so much fanfaronade? If [details must be told, the news comes of the latter lady that she is hanging to Grant’S Srm at Long Branch with every step bo takes, like a broken sprig of dogwood. How else would she be known as tbo Indy of the President? Certainly. The President, what of him? Grant, turning his Administration intoboll dny, sends for his Bind. The yolvet sands of Long Branch have not felt ihelr magnetic, spankling tread. Grant without a horse, losbb his electricity. The horses without Grant, lose their airing. The black favorites must be sent to him, .perhaps, us Dana ac cuses the Tallapoosa, at the Government expense. We will wait a lltilo. But, giving the best guess from the present standpoint, the President has failed us. He is a disap pointment, He has not done one luminous act sinco coming into power on the 4lh of March, not one that tbo people have risen up and applauded him for. Ho is opaquo to-day as in tho interregnum forming his Cabinet, and iho thing cleareßt in this ca pacity is that the light is not In him, no more than in the tumble-down Cabinet af fair. The peoplo have pinned faith to his inyatoriousness long enough, and it is all that they bavo yet, or perhaps will have till the end, to assure them of tbo future. There is a kind of pretentious inconse ■ quenoe about tho Administration that is ridiculous, a running to and fro of blue bruechud, shoulder-strap lackeys, a buzz of Imss drums In the back ground, as if there wore being spread tho not of some compli •euto, far sighted, tremendous policy, a shimmer and show of pondorousness that exists only In tho expectations of tho peo plo. Tho doubt, oneu in a while, grows thick whether Grunt is not more at homo in a gig behind his Havana than in tho Whilo House, fronting the peoplo. Looking him steudily in the luce, it occurs to you that Lite Republican party, powerful as it was, might have luken from his box tho first intelligent hucknmn on tho street, and dono us well. Grant's face has no clearness or Illumination in it, more than had his mill tary policy for breaking down tbo rebi 11 ion.. The Atlantic Monthly lately contained an urliclo upon bis ''lntellectual character.” It Is in doubt whether it exists. Not a mar, woman, or half-grown child in the country but has constantly put tho riddlo those two years: "How is it that Grant, with this face like a stogy bool, is a grout man?” Tho real query is as to tho fact. Tho whole mutter will "probably turu out simply enough, tbut, like other men, ho is what he appears to bo. Tho Brutuaos who seom fools and turn up wiso men are few. Grant swung to the head of military affairs when ijio momentum of tho nation was roady to break down treason. Ho swung to tho front of civil uHuim when tho party that gave supremacy to ideas had become tho nation llsolf, and lie as a bubble borne on its Hurfuce. In either case tbo peoplo huvo been of real Importance, anil the man of llotitlouH importance. We wunted a hero and a President, and pronounced the word -- G rant. (IKANT'm I’KIMY ('All t n kt Grant came, believing in himself, and Imposed upon uh. His oruculur silence at ,'.ho beginning made us expect n Cabinet of giants. 'When the roll of theso awaited Goiossuses was llnu'ly called in tho Senate, the hall of them were too feeble to answer to their names. Then somoni'them canto and drifted away again.

Tho peoplo need ed introduction, too, to iho now man. But that was a little matter. The tnonkoy races sometime select their londors by tho length of their tails. Louis XVJIF, made Monsieur D'Avuruy a duko for helping Ikhn into his carriage. NItANT'.S *' I.dVK OF ylltKT AND HKTIHK- Thcu Grant imposes upon ns with other pretensions. He has published to un ex travagant eccentricity his l.>\ool quiet and retirement. No public man of his station, sinco tho beginning of the Government, bus so constant ly Uwowu himself in tho way of flu* pco'p'pr A triumphal procession through tho country every six months Blnce tho war lias been the least of it. As President lie is pushing his social prerogatives to the full est bent. There have passed fourteen weeks since tho adjournment of Congress. Grunt has passed ball' of them here, the rest in social unbending elsewhere. They say he takes gaily to the dance at Long Branch, sliding through the ligures more glibly than than at Annapolis and West Point. This is very well, but the country is asking ol him aud bis Cabinet a few serious ques tions that it would be well to have answered from Washington, reception balls at the iseashoro notwithstanding. What about Cuba, South America, Virgiula, tbo South, the Alabama matters, ami political assas sinations? the srniNX rni.irY don’t fiu. the him.. It is credible that tho cabinet aud the head of the nation, properly digestingtheso things, would not find much time to be ab sent from the capital. Anyhow, tho nation is anxious to see looming above tho rosy horizon of balls, routs, excursions, ban quets, receptions, and seaside frivolities, the executive bead of a powerful Republican Administration. We are hardly contented with this sphinx-litto policy. It may ho Delphic, as Sheila burger said, but is less than Republi can Tho Prosidont would do well to ac cept humility from tho Cabinet fiasco and consult the people henceforth. A member oftbe Grant family is reported to have re marked just after the nomination : ‘‘J t was the General's desire not to bo made Presi* dent by a party, but by tho people.” Per haps hero is a little light. Perhaps Grant believes that the "era of good feeling” may return again under his administration; thut ho is a Colossus, under whoso legs nil the people can wsdk. So far the I'i;ttine<s of him administration have bi'on the most objectionable, anti now, playing President, lio reminds youofa boy who wished to be a king, "s > tfiat ho might rido on the gate post all day." If ho will stop iiuying bagatelles In New York, and parading ins Presidency along tlm porches of the Stetson, and keep to Executive bust ness hero, ho will look more* like a succes sor of Washington—bis ambition, wo are told. •run DENTS foil KVEII.

One believes almost that there is some • whore a brokerage of this magic namoupou whoso l.'wrors honors und cilices are ex • peeled - to-drop like stars. A storekeeper of jtho capital of Ancient Persia went one day \£o Ibrahim, tho Governor of his province, to request tlio abatotnent of tho taxes ho was unable to pay to llusho Ibrahim, a chief magistrate ol tho city, and the Governor’s brother. »• You must pay or leave the oily,” repli ed tho Governor, " Whore Hbull Igo? ’’ asked the shopkeeper. “To Shiraz,” was tho reply. “ Your nephew rules that city, and your family are my enemies,” said the Bhopkeoper* " Then go to Casliin.” “But your uncle Is Governor there.” “ Then •complain to SbuLi.” “ lie is your elder brother, and Prime Minister.” “Then go to tho lower regions !” exclaimed the Gov ernor In a passion. “Alas! your pious father is doi»<l.” retorted tho storekeeper.

San FitANCiftCo, Aug. 7.—General Rose crana bus declined tbe uominatiou for Gov ernor of Ohi». He telegraphed to the lion. A. G. Thurman, of the Democratic Com • mittee, as follows: “After the war I resigued a very desirablo position in tbe army, and left my State, to secure, at leust, the possibility of fulfilling duties deemod sacred to my creditors and family. These duties forbid me the honor of lead ing the Democracy of ,Ohio in the pres ent canvass for Governor.’' Columbus, Ohio, Aug. B—General8 —General Rose -crans’dispatch to Judge Thurman shows that he does not cousider himself a citizen of Ohio, and the declination will compel the assembling of another State Convention, as the Slate Central Committee will hardly take the responsibility of making a new nomination. The State Central Committee will meet hero on Wednesday next to take action in the premises. Not Dead let. Andy Johnson’B return to the United States Senate, in view of the result in Ten nessee, is almost certain. This is not tbe least satisfactory result of the contest in that State. Andy is a bold, positive expo nent of that class of political ideas that is least agreeable to the blatant radical rulers. He has the one grand virtue that he will not be put down, und, therefore, discussion in the Senate will be the less monotonous for his presence. He has a Union record that no man can impeach. Ho is a South ern Senator not opeu to the carpetbag ob jection nor assailable on the copperhead sneer. Hu is genuine in all Benses, abso lutely fearlsss and honest, and will “make Rome howl” from bis place in the Senate with much better effect than ever he did in his messages.

Louisville, Ky., Aug. 7.— The Courier- Journal has the following special telegrams from Shelby ville, Ky,, giving an aocountoi eolentlfio observations made there to-day: The observations made here to-day were very satisfactory, and, In many respects, gratifying. The following persons com- Srlsed tho joint board of observation for belbyville: Professor James Winton, of Harvard University, In charge of observa tions of phenomena, assisted by Alban Clark, profeßSor, of Cambridge, assistant; George W. Dean, of tbe Coast Survey, in charge of observations of precision, assisted by F. Bloke. Jr., of the Coast Survey; J. A. Wlpple, of Boston, assisted by Geo. Clark and J. Prendergast, had charge of tbo pho tographs. Prof. G. M. Bearle,of New York, devoted himself to the observation of gen eral phenomena, and daring tbo total phase was to search for intermercurialSplanets. Sub-Assistant T. H. Agnew also devoted himself to observations of general phenom ena, and had charge of tbe observatory ar rangements, belDg assisted by R. E. Shar rod, of Louisville. The meteorological ob servations were made by Professor Sey mour, of Louisville, and Robert Lewis, of Shelby ville. Among the amateurs present was Mr. Bowditch, of Boston, son of the celebrated astronomer. One or the import ant discoveries made by Professor Winlock, at tho spectroscope, was eleven bright lines in the spectrum of the protuberances of the sun, only five having heretofore been de termined. He blbo observed a sbower of meteors between tbe earth and the moou. The party are j übilant over their success. Photographs of the sun were taken at dif ferent times. DuriDg the partial obscura tion the beautiful red flames or solar pro tuberances were visible to the naked eye. Bailey’s Beads, us well as the dark shadows of the moon sailing away through the air woro noted by a party of amateurs station ed on the top of Shelby College. The sky was perfectly clear, oud everything seemed to propltiato tho success of tbe observations; There were ten or twelve mounted instru ments in use on the occasion, tho principal one of which was the Shelbyyille College telescope, which was handled by Professor Winlock, assisted by Alban G. Clark, of Cambride, Mass. This is a tine instrument, costing $4,000, and it once ranked third in tho United Stales. Lightning. Arcturus, Venus and Mercury were visi ble to tho nuked eye during the total phase. | Mr. Searle, whose duty it was to search for intermercurial planets, did not succeed in [ iinding any, reporting nothing fainter than Kegulus near the sun. When the sunlight j commenced to become dim, a large number i of citizens rushed to the college grounds, the headquarters of tbo observers. Some minutes before the total phase, the usual j phenomena of distraction among birds of j tho air and cattle occurred. Six minutes i before totality, a deathly ashen hue over- ! spread the countenances of all present, and for awhilo the faiot-heurled v/ero terrified. Tho scene during the totality was an awl’ui ! ouo. When the sunlight appeared again a shout of exultation went up Irom tho great crowd in tho eollego grounds. 1 Cincinnati, Aug.7.—Theeciipseattract- 1 ed great attention.

It was nearly rliotnboldal In form, und very dis tinct, and extended at somo points half a degrooo beyond tho edge of tho min's disc. Tho roHo-colorod protuberamieu appeared to the number of live or six, the greatest being on the sun's southwestern quurtur. Prof, UarktH'bs’ observations of thu pro tuberances In tho spectroscope showed a different spectra for ouch ; but aslugio bund was thrown by tho corona. Prof. Must mini's observations of tho thermomotor showed a Jail ol' thirteen degrees in the temperature during tho progress of the ecllpso. Tho total obscuration lusted - minutes and 321 sec. Venus und Morcuiy wero distinctly visible to tho nuked eye. Tho darkness exceeded that of tho night, und tho most interesting feature In tho aspect of tho sun was tho protuberances of beads. Tho largest one, ulreudy mentioned, was semi-circular in shape, with a linger ex tending say one-eighth part of the sun’s diameter, directly downward as ouo looked. Another, on tho right limb, was Bhaped much like the two horns of an antelope. The greatest length of the corona wus in the direction of an elliptic. San Francisco, August 7.—Tho solar eclipse commenced in this city precisely at tho moment predicted by tbe astronomers, and at 3 P. M. the obscuration reached tho maximum, und tbe sunlight was reduced as in partially cloudy weather. Tho air was I chilly, and the wind did not blow as strong j ly us usual at that time of the day. The | sky was cloudless. Chester Coumy Democratic Convention. West Chester, Aug. 9, 1869.—' The De mocracy of Chester coumy held their annual meeting here to day, and it was largely at louded. It was called to order by Judge Strickland, Chairman of the County Com mittee, and then organized by the appoint ment of John H. Brintnn, Ksq., as Presi dent, and a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Able and satisfactory speeches were made by Messrs. Monaghan, Hem phill and Briuton ; and a committee of thir teen, of which J. A. McCaughey, Ksq., was Chairman, reported the following preamble and resolutions, which wero unanimously adopted: The Democracy of Chester county do not deem it necessary, on this occasion, to give a lull expression of their views on the vari ous questions which havo received their at tention when assembled in general meeting in former years. Suffice it to say that their dovotion to the principles and doctrines then avowed continues unabated. They are now, as ever, for the Constitution as the su preme.law to rulers and people; for the Federal Union under that Constitution ; lor tbe rights of the States and of the people as recognized by the patriot founders of our Republican institutions; for exclusive “ white ” suffrage, and “white” naturali zation; for just und equul taxation, by which every man shall bo compelled to contribute to the support of the , Sluto; the county and the school dis- ! trict, in proporttou to his ability, and by which lubor shall bo protectod from tbe selfishness of monopoly aud capital, lbr a sound currency—not that for which the people are now heavily taxed under the national banking system, but of gold and ! silver, as udvocated by Jefferson and Jack- j son : for honest and economical legislation, \ Federul and Stnte, und for a reduction of i salaries and official compensations. We be- | hove that theso sentiments ure in harmony | with the best Interests of tho people, and , that tho day Is not distant when they will , ho in the ascendancy in iho councils of tho ] .Stato and Nation.

Their : lives and characters arc an ussurunco to tbe i people that thoy will huvo iu them a firm, honest und faithful Kxoeutlve, aud an able, upright und impartial Judge. Resolved, That it Is unreasonable to ex pect a cessation of tho corrupt and extrava gant legislation at Harrisburg, so long as the people continue in office a Governor, who has, by his acts, proven himself to be in sympathy und accord with such legisla tion, and that, thereloro, it is a duty which they owe to themselves to prevent tbe re election of John W. Geary. Resolved, Tbut the Committee of Corres pondence cull a County Convention of dele gates for tbe purpose of forming a ticket at West Chester, at such a limo as thoy may deem expedient. The prospect looks well for tho Demo cratic parly iu this region. Chester will poll more votes for Packer than she has ever given to any Democratic candidate, and the vote for Geary will be considerably less thau it was in ’CO. A lonue Blau Take* ft Two YrntV Nap Awaken*, hh(l Asks, *ls 'Breakfast Heady.” We are informed that a young man liv ing in the lower part of this county was taken sick about two years ago, and fell into u deep sleep, from which he onlyawoko about two weeks since. Tho first expres sion he made use of on coming to was. “ Is breakfast ready ?” just as though he bad been asleep but ono night. A physician had been attondingon him all tbetime, and happened in .just after he awoke. On walk ing up to tho bed, be called the patient by name, remarking that “ You must feel bet ter, as your cheeks have more color,” to which»he replied by asklDg. “Who are you?” On beiug informed that he was a physician who bad been attending him con stantly fur two years, he could hardly be lieve his senses. During his sleep he was fed regularly with spoon victuals, as though he was conscious. He Is now up, enjoying good health, aud busily engaged in trying to get tbe events of the last two years posted up in his mind, that he may unite them with the past aud present. He has a dis tinct recollection of everything up to the time of his going to sleep. We have heard no explanation of this case of Rip Van Winkleism.— Madison' (Ind.) Cour ier, 2 Slh.

One of themost destructive fires that eve? visited Philadelphia occurred last week. It began.with tbp'Tailingof a portion of the bonded warehouses at Front and Lombard streets, owned by Colonel Wm. C, Patter son. The building was stored with whisky, which ran Into tho furnaces of the boilers, and caught fire, producing an explosion. The entire blook of warehouses, eight In number, were destroyed. Hundreds of the barrels of whisky were crushed in tbe fail, and their contents igniting ran down the steep declivity on Lombard street to the sewers, making 6 scene truly grand. The intense beat soon set fire to the sailor board ing house of Thomas Boyle, situated on the squthwest corner of Penn and Lombard streets, but this was saved from total de struction by the heroic firemen, numbers of whom by this time bad arrived on the ground. For one hour and a half did this debris'eoutinue to barn with bat little abatement. This was caused by tho explo sion of the whisky barrols in tho midst of the pile. At a quarter after nine o’clock a portion of the wall which hud divided the two southern stores fell with a frightful crash, and barrel upon barrel of whisky which had been piled up in the Bocond structure came rolling out on tbe pile of ruins, and several of them in their passage exploded, bupdoing no damage. From thisjeompart ment tbo fire extended to the upper part of its neighbor, and so along until the whole eight wero in flames. As each of the compartments caught, there would be explosion after explosion of barrels, and tbe burning liquid would pour into tbe lower floors and from them into the street; and down the gutters to Pino street and iuto the sewers. So rapid did it flow at one time that the sewer got so full of gas that an explosion took place, causing a stampede among the thousands of specta tors congregated in its immediate vicinity. By elevou o’clock the fire seemed to have done its worst—the division walls and a largo portion of the Front and Penn streets walls were lying In tbe streets. Shortly after midnight the battlement wall separating dwelling No. 409 and the northern compartment of the warehouse fell into tho rums, and instautly the roof of No. 409 was in a blaze. From this it com municated to No. 407, which was unoccu pied, and to Nos. 405, 403 and 401. Tho heat was so intense and tho air so full of flying embers from tbe falling walls, that tbe properties on the east side of Front l street were on lire seveial tiinos, but the I firemen managed to save them. A heavy | westerly wind sprung up and blew tho 1 flames to tbe eastward. Wall after wall fell, and tho burning embers filled tho air i for squares around. Un the surrounding houses could bo seen dozens of men throw ing pails of water over tbo beuted roofs. The J'ust which kept its columns open ! until two thus describes the situation ut i that hour: -Tlio heavy ruin und hall-storm has been of valuable aid to the Amman, who bavo fought the devouring element fool by foot. But lor them, assisted by tho Police in maintaining n clear fire ground, tho block between Penn street and the Delaware must have gone. Hundreds of peoplo still cluster around tho neighborhood all seem ing determined to see the Are out. The Josh is estimated nt nearly $0,000,000. Tho warehouse alone, It is said contained $5,000,000 of liquor, nearly alt of which was consumed, The saddest part of tho afluir is that there is a well grounded supposition that tho en gineer, liromun and watchman are all bu rled benoutb iho ruins, but wo hopo such is not the cuso. It is very probable that even a larger number of porsons arc injurod than those reportod in tho confusion. Many of tho men who wero employed in and about the warehouses, nnd those who work on tbo wharves, live in the immediate neighbor hood of the conflagration, and wore In the habit of congregating about tho buildings. 11 was tho custom of these men to nil on thu pavement against the walls of the ware house, und it 1h possible that some of these have suffered suvoro injuries, perhaps deuth. Jacob Andrews, residing on Potm street, below Lombard, waa struck on tbo head by a brick nnd soverely Injured. Taken to tho Pennsylvania Hospital. Daniel liugorty, u polleo officer, residing at Penn nnd South streets, hud his luce and head badly burned. Taken homo.

Thu Hashes oflightning, the heavy penis of thundor, the full of ruin, the im mense flame of Are, and the vast extent of the prostrate ruins, with the confusion of the multitudes attempting suddenly to leave the ground, and the engines, made a scone the equal of which is rarely witnessed. The wall of the warehouse building now fell in with a great crash, and the whole of tho Front street portion of the building, ex cept section A, near Pino street, was level with the ground. Fortunately no persons were injured by the falling walls. There were several general alarms given through out the night, and the Camden Fire De partment responded. A recapitulation of the insurances Bhows the following: Heading, 1 company Philadelphia, 1-1 companies. New York, 31 companies Rhode Island, 4 companies. Connecticut, 11 companies... Great Britain, 5 companies.. Maryland, 7 companies Massachusetts, 2 companies Illinois, ‘2 companies Ohio, 1 company Crtliforn a, 2 companies 50,000 These amounts foot up over two and a quarter m VUiou dollars. Very many of the insurances wore recently effected ; the char acter of the warehouses for strength and non-liability to damage by lire made the ageDta feel quite safe in taking any risks. Toe buildings were called fireproof, and the ouly wood used in their construction was in the joists and fioots, the doors and win dow frames, and the sheathing for the met al roof. Fireproof buildiDgs, as now con structed, have iron joists and window frames, and floors supported by brick arches. . The warehouse was substantially built, and particular attention was given to the foundation walls. The portion which fell is said to have borne far more weight than was on it on Wednesday. The boilers were reached yesterday, and it was found that they had not snsiained any damage, which puts at rest the rumor that they had explo ded. A new theory was advanced yester day in respect to the cause of the fire. It is surmised that there was a leak in the gas -pipe which runs through a private sewer along with a blow-off pipe of the engine, and that gas finding its way into; the boiler room came in contact with the furnace, causing the first explosion which brought down the wall. Residents in the neighbor hood, however, say that the wall fell some minutes before an explosion was heard. Philadelphia, Aug. 6.—The great con flagration at Front and Lombard sts„ still smoulders, smokes, and occasionally lights into a tiny blaze as Borne loose timbers, nn reached by ■water, are touched by unextln glshed embers amid the rubbish. • A* yes terday and last evening, so'alio to-day, a constant stream of people ebbs ana -flows around the burned hollaing. The curiosity of tho citizens to behold the place upon which so great destruction had been work* ©j in so brief a period Is not yet sated. While* the whole Interior of the building, has disappeared, at its both upon Penn and Front streets portions of the wall are still standing. In the sur rounding properties, damaged either by fire or by water, parties are already actively at work dealing and repairing. The fire and Its losses created quite a dlsousslon yester day in the Treasury Department at Wash ington. The question was raised whether tbe owners of spirits could not claim from the Government the refunding of internal revenue tax paid on whiskey destroyed. It was alleged on the one band that the gov ernment refolded duty on sngordeetroyed undor similar circumstances, andstatea on the other, if taxes were refunded in this way there would be no end to it, and that mil lions of dollars would be taken from the Treasury to pay bogus claims which may be presented for fictitious leases. Patter son’s warehouse ceased to be an internal revenue bonded warehouse, class B, ou the 30th of June, and some of those who par ticipated in tbe discussion expressed the beLief that this fact was ofitself a bar against any claim for refunding. The case is an important one to distilllo.e and dealers in other articles wbteh may be destroyed by fire after tax has been paid before a sale is made. Oneof the most mel ancholy circumstances connected with the fire is the doath of Mr. William Alburger, which took place at his residence last nigut.

Bank Centro Correspondence of the St. Cloui Journal. . About twelve miles southwest fro inhere, in the town of Raymond, In Stearns boon* ty, was the dwelling house of a well-to-do and respectable farmer, Mr. Richard Rich ardson, formerly of Rice county, in this State.. At tbe time of the commencement or the storm on Friday night, he and his fami ly were quietly enjoyiog their home, with others of the neighborhood, who were stop \ plngoyer night with them. About twelve o’clock Mr. Kichardson remarked to his wife that be feared they would have a hard storm. Before be could arrouse tbe family or even make* any preparations himself, the tornado burst upon them with such force as to tear to pieces and scatter about for a dis tance of a quarter of a mile the entire house and Its oontents, together with the Inmates. There were at tbe time twelve persons in the building, tbe moat of them up stairs asleep. , It was a block or log-house 16x24, one and a half stories high, well dove-tailed at the comers and pinned with two-Inch oak pins. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson and tbe smalt child alone remained In the ruins of the hoQse.* John, the eldest son, twenty-two years old, was carried thirty-four rods and dropped on the ground, so badly bruised and mangled that there is but little hope cf his recovery, ' George, the secocd bod, thir teen years old. was also carried thirty rods and had his right ankle brokon, the bone protruding through the fiesb. lie is also badly bruised in many places. While tbe third son, three years of age, Jwas borne somelbirtv rods, and hurlea to the ground so ba&ly iojared that be lived only a few moments. Two othor children, little girls, were taken from their beds, twisted up in their bed clothes,and dropped on the opposite side oftbe building from thereat, unharm ed. Mrs. R. received some injories on and about the head and face, bat nothing more serious. This is about tbe extent of the in j urles received by the family of Mr. R. Miss AnDa Wilson, a sobool teacher, stopping at the house of Mr. R., having some some fears at the time, bad risen dressed and was sitting up when the wind struck the build ing. ahe was carried with the rest, mixed in with broken pieces of timber, boxes, bar rels, cupboards, trunks, bedding and fur niture, and the entire contents ot the upper part of the house, thirty-seven rods, and deposited in the wheat field. She was so badly bruised that there is little hope of her recovery. Liberty Raymond, 22 years old, eldert son of L. B.

An Enormous Snake— lt Attacks a Child.— A large black snake, over six foot long, made an attack ou Tuesduy last, the 3d inst, on a little boy between 7 und 8 years of age, son of Mr. U. Strickler, of Conestoga Centre. Mr. S. had gone"black berrying" on tho forge hills, near Coleman ville, In Conestoga township. In tho after noon one of his litlle boys lay down nnd foil »slo«p undor » tron. whfirft the basket had been placed, while Mr. S.Cwas picking berries about 10 or 12 yards distant. Mr. S. finding some May apples, called the boy and threw them to him who picked them up and put them in a basket, und then lay down again. In a few minutes after the boy uttered a piercing scream, jumped up, antLcried out that he was attacked by a bigsnake. His father hastened to his as sistance and soon dispatched the snake which made no attem pt to escape. The boy says he was awakened by feeling something moving at his arm |and side, and looking to see what it was, he saw the snake and jumped up. It is supposed by persons who are acquainted with the habits of this spe cies of-snake that it was on the tree uDder which the bey was asleepj and that it drop ped itself from some low branches of the tree on the child intending to coil around and crush or choke him, but that tho snake was prevented from accomplishing its ob ject’by the child lying fiat on tbe ground and'suddeniy jumping up. From the short time which had elapsed after the child lay down, the second time, it Is supposed that he could not have been very soundly asleep If the child had been sleeping very soundly the consequences might have been more serious ; as it was tbe child was not hurt.— Mr. S. had no way to measure the length of snake accurately ; but from such moans as were at hand it was found to bo between 3 and 7 feet in length. A large black snake is said to have been seen at various times—some years fre quently, and other years not at all—for the last 25 years, on the bills Pequea in the vicinity of Conestoga Centre and Marticville, by a great many different per sons, some (at least) with a character un surpassed for truth Accord ing to the accounts of the persons, who say they have seen the snake, it is not less than C to 8 inches in diameter, and 20 to 25 feet iu length. It is said that this snake was seen again about a week ago, near the Pequea, a short distance back of Conestogu Centre, by some boys. No one, as vetjwbo has seen this snake, has'.been bold "enough to make an attack upon it. Fair and Festival.—The Methodists of Mount Nebo Circuit, this county, have built a Parsonage, for which they are still considerably In debt. To relieve them selves of this difficulty they have decided to hold a “Fair and Festival” in Mount Nebo commencing Wednesday, tbo 18th inst., to continne for three days.

Wilson, of Colerain, Lancaster county, met with an accident on the 28th ult. He was engaged in hauling out manure with a yokooi'oxen and a horae, and while returning from tbe field tbe reins became entangled and drew the horse around, upon Wilson jumped out and run to it; but just at this moment the horse fell upon him, knocking him down in front of tbe wheeis, one of whicn passed over his body. Tbo oxen did not atop, but completely stripped tbe har ness from ‘the horso and tore it to pieces un der their feet. Mr. Wilson’s head came within a hair’s breadth of striking the car tongue. He luckily escaped, however, with a few severe bruises and;scratches. The horse was not injured.

No information of the heartless wretch who thus abandoned the body of thisjittle one is yet obtained. . A . -Fine FAnu.—Splcndid Sioci. — Our correspondent at Conestoga Tfcfltr* Mucta ns thfrfollowing description of* recent visit to a first* doss form In ibat Vicinity : We paid a visit a few days ago to tbe farm of Mr. Jacob B. Stebman, in the north eastern part of this townsbtp, and as Mr, S. Is one st tbe best farmers and most care fa 1 b:o3dersof thorongb-bred stock In Lan caster county, we thought a few words about bis farm and blooded stock might not be uninteresting to your numerous readers. While Conestoga township can boast of its excellent farmers, who are not surpassed in any part of the county, In their methods of farming, nor in the crops which they raise,; Mr. S. deservedly brs the reputation of be lDg at tbe head of the list. His farm, con taining 140 acres, consists of first quality limestone land, jnst rolling enough to af ford good hntnral drainage. A small por tion is not tillable on account of the lime stone lying too close to the surface and cropplDgout at many places, hut it is not wasteland ; it is fenced off from ibetlllable land, and is kept dear of briers and brush* es aud it affords the richest pasture for his Short Horns and South Downs. A small strenm of clear spring water flows through the middle of tbe form, and tbe fields are so arranged that cattle can have accau to this brook from every one. The buildings are sneb as all firaDol&ss farms in this sec tion contain —large )and commodious. He uses all tools of the latest and moat im proved kinds, and hisfarmiDg is very thor ough In every respect, which is also true of nearly all tbe farmers in this seotion, many of whom cultivate their lands as carefully and raise as large crops as he does, bnt it lain tbe superiority of bis livestock that Mr. S. fur excels all his neighbors. He very kindly showed us all his stock, and pointed out the good points possessed by each, in such a manner as only au intelligent and experienced stock-breeder can do. He also gave us tbe pedigrees of a great pare of his stock, which he could do very readily with out having to refer to his catulogue of pedi grees. Their pedigrees show that some of them are the near descendants of some of the most noted prize cattle of England and the United States. He keeps all Short Horn cattle, because be thinks they are tbe most profitable. He can sell all his calves when three or fonr weeks old, at an average price of $5O a bead ; or when older, at a price In proportion to tboir age and their good points. Prominent among h's cattle is bis Short Horn Bun •* tJellvifie-Airdre,” whose dam was imported. This bull is a perfect modslin form oftbe Ado breed, and was purchased by Mr. S. when two years old, for $350, of A. B. Congor, a celebrated breed er of Short Horn, Jn Rockland county, N. Y. In January last, when fonr years old, ho weighed 1958 pounds, and Mr. 8. esti mates his weightatpresentHt2,loo pounds. He is not fat, being only in ordinary condi tion; Bright fat he would probably weigh about 2,600. His cows are equally fine uud proportionately large. Hehas several whose weight be estimates at 1,600 pounds each, while giving milk; if fat they would weigh considerable more. One of hisjeows bad twin calves about a year ago, and has twins again at present.— They wero leas than twenty-four hours old when we saw them, and they were larger than ordinary calves at their ago. Short Horns in general are not considered good milkers as some other bresds, but Mr. B. breeds with a vlow of combining good milk ing with 11 -ah producing qualities; and his cows are better milkers than Short Horns in general. After baring tried the different breeds of sheep, and also crosses between tbe differ ent breeds, be bss come to tbe oodolusloq that pure South Downs aro the most profit able in this section, as they are valuable for both mutton and wool. They are de cidedly tbo most valuable mutton sheep In tho wurld, being among sheep what abort Horns are umoug cattle; and whilo they do not shear quite as much wool as the long wooled breeds—such ns Uotswolda and Leicester*. Their wool 1b much supe rior In quality, His stock of South Downs is vory pure, nnd among the finest we have ever hood. Not only hts catllo and sheep, but all other kinds of live stock owned by him, are of the most valuable breods. His team Is not surpossed umong the fine "Conestoga teams” of this section. His Hogs are very fine puro-bred Chester Whites. He also keeps full-blooded Terrier Dogs and Maltese Cats. He is a firm be liever in good stock ofall kinds, and thinks It to be tho most profitable, un It costs no more to keep ami feed good than poor stock, whilo good stock will always sell for from 50 to 190 per cent, ntoro tban poor stock. U. 18. Died from ms Injuries.—We are In formed that Mr. Everhart Weaver, tho gentleman who was found early on Sunday morning a week, in an Insensible condition in East Chestnut street near Plumb street, this city, died from his injuries, Thursday afternoon, nt his residence at Monterey, near Now Holland. Wo hope that all the circumstances in relation to this mysterL and the cause of Mr. Weaver’s death ascer tained. Some suppose that he was intoxi cated and fell from his vehicle, others that he was attacked by some one and struck on the head with a “billy.” All tbe facts re lating to tbe caso should be investigated. The Jury empanelled to inquire into the cause of tho death of Everhart Weaver, after hearing the evidence of a number of witnesses examined by Coroner Leonard,at the office of Alderman Evans, this morn ing, rondered the following verdict:— “That Everhart Weaver came to his death by a stroko in and below tho right ear, either by a fall or other stroke un known to the jury—said stroke causing coagulated blood on the brain—causing death.” The general tenor of the evidence was that the deceased had brought Daniel Mucklo to town iu his carriage. Thut de ceased had become intoxicated; that Muckle would not nccompany him home; that he was helped into his carriage at Marqunrt’s Saloon, on Chestnut street, abouc 11 o’clock ; drove off alone, nnd was found lying in an insensible condition about 12 o’clock, in Chestnut street, be tween Shippen and Plum. His horse and carriage was found near Ranck’s Mill, and he was tuken to his home near Monterey, iu Leacock township, on Sunday, aud that he died on Thursday last. Drs. Compton and Bushong held the post mortem exami nation, and elicited the fact that concus sion of the brain had caused death. It ap pears almost certain that Weaver’s horse, spirited lour year old, ran away with him, or became unmanageable, throwing him from the carriage and causing his death. The follo'wing gentlemen constituted the Coroner’s Jury :—Walter G. Evans, Esq., Charles E. Huyes, Esq., Jacob King, Jacob Gable, Henry Shnbcri nud Wm. Dean. Tins Eclipse.— The eclipse, which duly came off, Saturday evening, waa witnessed with great interest by our citizens. Smoked glass and favorable positions for viewing the phenomenon were lor a time in great de mand. The church steeples, house tops and street corners .had their occupants all intently watching the bright rays of the sun as they were being partially obscured by the dark, opaque body of the moon. There was an appreciable diminution of light, to the close observer,duriug the period ol'greatest obscuration, but wedoubt whether auy one who whs not aware of the eclipse taking place would have been ied to notice its presence through any durknoss it may have occasioned—the shadow of a passing cloud might have produced a similar effect. During tho time of the commencement of the eclipse the sun was hidden by floating clouds, but at tho most interesting period .there was a clear sky, and a most excellent view of the obscuration was presented! A telegram fiom Wilmington, North Car olina, where the eclipse was total, stales that, it was the grandest spectacle ever be held in that city, and that “during the total i obscuration stars shone about as brightly I as at night, and chickens went to roost I three-quarters of an hour earlier than usuul. I Business was almost suspended lu tho city so great was tho impression produced. An Adulterous Couple Punished.— The Phll’a Press bus a telegram slating that “ William K. Lampbear, a stencil-cutler, residing at 6(3 Seneca street,, Cleveland, Ohio, suspecting undue Intimacy between one of his employes, named George Stanley, who boarded at his house, and Mrs. Lamp bear went to work at an early heur the morn ing of the 6th Inst., and returning’unex pectedly, found Stanley and Mrs*. Lamp near In beer together. Lampbear attacked both with a knife, inflicted a wound in his wife’s abdomen, which will probably prove fatal. Stanley was wounded in the shoulder Lampbear is under arrest.” We are in formed that the parties to this tragedy for merly resided in Lancaster and are well known to many of our citizens. A Man Drugged and Robbed.— The Inquirer states that on last Wednesday night a young man, evidently from the country, was found by q policeman lust asleep on a door step ; tho policeman, after considerable effort, aroused him from bis slnmber. The young man seemed lost and could give no account of how be found his way to the door step, further than he fell into the bands of those whom he believed to be good friends about nine o’clock in the evening and who escorted him through the city to see the sights. He discovered to his surprise that he was minus his pocket-book, silver patent lever watch and a few valuable letters. He was evidently drugged and robbed, as he appeared to be entirely un conscious of what he was doing. We advise yonng men from the country to be more careful of the company they keep when they come to the city, and hope the above event will be a’warning. Ac IDENT.-Mr. Jacob Weiser of this city, while working on Tuesday at Strickler’s bridge, a mile above Columbia foil off the bridge a distance of twenty-five leet. Mr. Weiser had no bones broken, but was badly iDjured internally; the-injured man was brought to this city. A. W. Groff’s Preparations.— We would direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of A. W. Groffln another column. He prepares a variety of excellent medicines, essences, perfumeries, etc., at bis medical hall, No. 59 East King street, this city, which he sells Wholesale and Retail. His preparation known as Black-Oil is said to besuperior to any other medicine for the purpose for which ft la re commended. Corn Crop.— The Oxford Press says “from some cause, the corn crop will not be a fall one this Beason. - Many fields will not produce half a crop, however favorable the weather may prove between now and ripening time. Some that was planted early and under very favorable exjeamstanoes now looks very poorly. The cause Is not accounted for.” T as Harris Dental Association.—A stated meeting of the Harris Dental Asso ciation was held at the offloe of Dr* D, R* Hertz, of Ephrata, ou Thursday, tbe sth. Inst. There was a fall attendance ofoffloers and members, and the proceedings of the meeting were of unpsusl interest. Dr. L Z. Holler, of Colombia, read a highly instructive paper upon tbe subject of Mechanical Dentistry, and exhibited several specimens of rubber plates, impres sions of the jaw In Plaster ofParis, ana the Y&rioas methods of manipulating the sev eral kinds ot material used for casts, and as a base for arlificiaFdentureo. These exhi bitions proved to be very.interesting to the members. In view of the foot that they em braced some of tho most recent Improve ments in that department of the profession. An interesting and earnest dlßonsaion en sued, in which the merits and advantages of the points raised, were thoroughly can vassed and compared, in which all the members participated. Various other topics came up for dlsous ■ sion. among which were guaefc advertise ments. The practice of modestly advertis ing, as a medium through whioh a practi tioner shouldbringhis professional services to tbe Dotice of the public, waa by no means objected to, but high Bounding testimo nials, and bombostlo representation of special advantages and skill, or peouliar methods of performing operations known only to the advertiser; and also exhibition of dental work ut agricultural fairs, and other public places, by which a share of excellence which nojone else possessed is claimed ; without the ability to back it up by substantial scientific attainments were denounced in the severest terms as uot only QDbecoming the dignity of tbe profession, but as a fraud upon the credulity of the people, , This meeting of the Harris Dental Asso ciation was one of its beet, and the growing interest manileeted bv its members lean evidence that it is meeting in a satisfactory manner the object of its organization, namely, “A high-toned scientific status for the profession lu the city and oounty of Lancaster.” Another Horse Taicen.-Ou Wednesday Mr. Andrew McGinnis, residing in West Orange street, this city, left bis horse stand for a few minutes iu the yard of C. Yundt’s “Black Horse” hotel, North Queen street. On his return to the hotel he fouod that some one had ridden his horse away. Im mediate search was instituted for the missing animal. Fortunately a broth er of Mr. McGinnis who was working in Fremont street, near St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, saw the horse in the possession of William Hinder, a boy re siding in Strawberry street, and recognized it as hia brother’s property. He took possession of the horse and relumed it to its owner. This is not the first time that ibis boy, Hinder, has been caught with the horses of others in his possession ; it seems that n horse can not be left standing for a few minutes without this mischievous or rather criminal boy riding or driving it off' The boy should at once be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of tbe law. A warning ot this kind is the only way to pre vent the frequent repetlflonofnuch offences* List of Jurors.— Grand and Petit Ju rors to serve jn the Court of Quarter Bes- Hions, commencing on the third Monday in this month, (August): Grand Jurors. —Georgo Ax, Caernarvon; Henry Bletz, Columbia; William Brown, Fulton; H.

Big Crof of Peaches.— The Delaware Commercial states that “ the peach trees in Delaware are every where loaded down with peaches, and that the yield will be tremen dous. In many places the trees are break ing down beneath the weight of fruit. They are speaking by the train load for them selves already, although, as yet, the season has not fairly commenced,only a few early varieties being ready for shipment.” This is good news for our readers —for who does not relish a good, large, ripe peach.
