Tremendous Power oF Air. —The tornado that recently passed over Lapeer County, Michigan, was the most violent ever experienc ed in that State. The damage to the houses, barns, fences and forests is very great. The heaviest loss will be the destruction of the valuable pine and other timber in its course.— So trreat was the force of the whirlwind that nothing could withstand it. The giants of the forest which have withstood the storms of a hundred years, were wrenched from their firm roots and tossed about like straws. Even stump? firmly imbedded in mother earth, were j orn np and carried many rods. Old logs which had lain upon the ground for years, were disturbed and torn from their resting places.— a ir was literally filled with fence rails, limbs of trees, hoards, rafters,, shingies, &c., which were lifted to an immense higbt. The course of the whirlwind was in a nearly east direction, ranging from twenty rods to "half a mile in width and making a clean sweep as it went. In some places even the culverts across the roads were torn up by the tornado, and the roods generally are filled up with a promiscuous assortment of timber and rubbish of all kinds. An eve witness says the whirlwind presented a mo st singular appearance. He says the wind would rise in an immense whirl, drawing up rails, limbs of trees, boards, leaves, dirt, &c\, to a great hight, when suddenly it would seem to drop again to the earth and feed itself with a new supply of such thing as were moveable and again rise, carrying np with it substances of great weight. A Slave Born of a W iiite Woman Freed by a Virginia Court. —The Richmond En quirer of the 15th inst gives the following account of a very interesting case which has ken decided in the Botetourt Circuit Court : " Eliza Crawford and five children, colored, suing for their freedom. The case was decid ed in favor of the plaintiff's ; the evidence being full and complete that the chief plaintiff, Eliza, was born of awhite woman of Georgia. She is now about thirty-five years of age, and has been in slavery between fifteen and twenty years, ller appearance indicates that her father was a mixture of African and Indian. She is now the mother of six children, all of whom were plaintiffs, excepting the eldest, who, never belonged to defendant, and who, it is said will now be set at liberty without resist ance. Tht-re was no evidence, however to, show that the defendant was in way privy to. or accountable for, the injuries done the plain tiffs." _ Failure of a Savings Bank. — lmmense de faliCatioxs. —The Lancaster (Pa.) Savings In stitution has "Collapsed," and it is said that the cashier is a defaulter to the amount of a quarter of a million. The Lancaster Herald says : •' The defalcation, it is said, reaches the en ormous amount of between $250,000 and $250,000. Mr. Bonghter was arrested and committed to the county prison at an earlv hour on Tuesday morning. During the day the excitement was intense, but the word of the directors having been pledged that a full statement of the affairs of the institution would be made public at the earliest practicable mo ment, it was to a considerable extent allayed. '• The property owned by Mr. Bonghter is estimated to be over $lOO,OOO ; his bail is $20,000, and the capital of the institution is $50,000, which must all be absorbed before the dejiositors can lose anything. It is supposed the loss to the depositors will not exceed $lOO,- 000, which will be less than 25 per cent." Horrible Murder in New-York.—On Mon day morning last, about 2 o'clock, a woman named Margaret M'Daniel, who resided at No. 4. Baxter-st, was murdered by her husband, Edward M'Daniel, who cut her throat with a razor in such a manner that she died in a few hours afterward. It is thought that M'Daniel was temporarily insance at the time of com mitting the awful deed. He and his wife, as now appears, went to bed late, after offering up a prayer to their Creator, and remained quiet until the time named, when he, as is al leged, got up, and seizing his wife by the throat with one hand, inflicted the violence with the other. She screamed, and rolling on the floor at the same time, bled profusely, and died in a few minutes afterward. The "alarm was rais ed, and officer O'Connor of the Sixth Ward ran into the house and arrested M'Daniel, whom he locked up in the Police Station. The accused is shoemaker, and is said to be com fortably well off in the world.— X. Y. Tribune. The B-iotfi Case. — I The Louisville Journal has tlie following in relation to this case : " Mr. S. M. Booth, of the Milwaukie De mocrat haf been served with a notice or citita tion, signed by Chief Justice Taney, to appear bt-fore the United States Supreme Court at Washington on the Ist of December next, in pursuance of a writ of error issued by that tribunal, to show cause why the judgment of the lowa State court in his favor— in the so called habeas corpus case—" should not he corrected."

The following Resolutions, as unfinished business, will be considered : Resolved, That there ought to be in each township, a School Officer, whose duty it shall be to inspect Teachers and visit the Schools in his respective township, either in connection with the County Superintendent, or alone. Resolved, That the study of Written Arithmetic should not be commenced by the child until he is of sufficient age to fully appreciate and perfectly understand the prin ciples of the science, and it should always be preceded by athorough drilling in Intellectual Arithmetic. Resolved, That every Teacher should be a subscriber for, and a constant reader of, some Educational Periodi cal ; and also it is his duty to attend, if practicable, edu cational meetings, and iu all other ways seek his own im provement in the subjects to be taught, as well as the best and most approved methods of teaching. Resolved, That we respectfully and most earnestly so licit the hearty co-operation of all the School Directors of the County in carrying forward the great work of educa ting the rising generation. Resolved, That Teachers should he sufficiently acquain ted with Physiology, and the laws of health to be able to guard with care the health of those committed to their charge. Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of every teach er to sustain good order in school, and adopt such means as shall secure that important en run a single machine, and pair of Burrs for chop ping feed, &c. r r flic land is situated in Overton township, in the centre of the Coal and Iron region of Bradford County, and on it have been found large deposits of iron ore of a superior quality. This property to Lumbering men offers greater inducements than any other in Nora hern Pennsylvania inasmuch as the timber has never been culled out and lying as it does withiu 2j miles of the Barclay Coal Com pany Railroad, now in process of construction and con necting by said Railroad, with the River and Canal at this place. K*r There have been opened upon this property three beds of IRON ORE, of a very superior quality and rich ness, two of which are ten feet in thickness each, yielding about 35 to 40 per cent, pure metal,and one smaller yield ing a much greater per cent.; all extending through 1)00 acres of the property. This ore is easy of access, and can be procured at a very small expense. Persons desirous of viewing the premises will call on the subscriber at this place. A. EDWARDS. Towanda, May 1, 1855.
