deprived our systeta of oworlds, , Of • its tly

warmth, and the supply of heat distributed `
throughout the atmosphere of our own globe
was obeying , the law/ of.equalization, and was
rushing, off to 1001{0 np the juat'ereated deficit In
the Colder realms of space,. This feellug was in
tenelfied by the thrice' fold. repetition of , the
impressive phenomenon. Each return of the de
parted light , brought, With , it-an almost uncon
scious gratitude; and.:eachdenewalof the dark
pees made stronger the apprehension of some
impending peril. ,
What induced this -sudden and remarkable
change hi the routine of nature? What trans
formed day into night; ar.il night Into day again?
What wasthe .great.,Pall that hung upon our
city? in the abactlee ,Oritatrexplanation from •
scientific sources, we presume the manifestations
to have beep thoseof a tornado, pendulous in the
gir t and impetuously whirling over Chicago.
We may well shudder when we contemplate
what might 1304Ft:welt the' eilinse4efenterl, if this .
fierce and tumltuous straggle of the elements
had taken place amid our streets, instead of ex
pending its fury and destructive forces far above
our head°. The swirliag , etreams of air.that have
several thrtetowltitin 'a t few'weeks "pasts swept '
away single buildings here and there, or crushed
others into masses of unsightly ruins, were bat'
es the,,puU'so4u.zephyrcompared with the tem- ,
PestoPos ood.OeValitating violence, With Which
Tuesday's tornado , would have torn its terrible
passage through. this city. The "monuments
of our architectural skill_ • which ( 1 3(lotu
our thoroughfares with Miele- 'stately `,•graft
deur would have been rent byy, the, in
visible, fingers of the'"storm, • and dragged; '
from their foundations, with all the
apparent ease with which &mad-cap whiff of Mr
will snatch off one's hat, and • acid it -whirling to
the housetops. Men who to-day move to and
fro upon our pavements with jocund hearts, and
women who welcome them home with bright
(yes and loving words; and little, innocent prat
tlers—penates of the household, might ,be lying
cold, still, puleeless, mangled. mutilated, bloody,
in their coffins prematurely awaiting the last
rights of anguished human .affections. A blow
might have fallen , upon Chicago which would
have cost hundreds of lives and millions of, dol
lars, leaving behind a mighty record of pros
trated blocks, chattered streets, broken fortunes,
nnd crashed hearts. Vast as the ruin and the
Etlaring, sublime and .terrible as the tumultuous
liCede, yet it might have been.
Chicago had a narrow escape. The apprehen
sion which filled so many minds was not a super
eiltione fear. Destruction, fierce and unsparing,
really hovered in the sky overhead. A slight
change in the , conditions—a little more electricity
here, or a little more temperature there—might
have precipitated upon us the turbulence of the
destb.ausel flapped hie broad wings on the blast."
A few moments Foon er, a low instants later
n acceleration in the gyrations of the hurricane,
or a temporary resistance in thee higher altitudes
of the atrucspitere, tbight have caused the swirl
ing elements to east themselves down with resist
less power and with unwonted fury upon this
devoted city.
Terrible 11411 sterna In Maryland.
lFr'm the Leonardatown (Bt. Mary's county) Gazette.)
The Potomac section of ourcounty was visited
on Saturday evening last by one of the most ter
rible and destructive hail storms that we have
ever had occasion to record, or indeed that has
ever appeared hi oar county within the recollec
tion of our oldest citizens. We have conversed
with several ef,entlemen of advanced,. age, who
were within the swath of the storm, and they in
formed us that nothing that they have ever wit
nessed in the way of hall was comparable in quan
tity and dimensions to that which fell on Saturday.
It appears almost incredible, but we are assured
that pellets of fallen ice were discovered in some
localities two inches at least in diameter, and
that bushels of hail might have been raked up
within the compass of a few feet. The destruc
tion in window panes was immense, many parties
losing as many as fifty and some as high as
eighty; but the saddest effects of the "hail were
upon the growing wheat and, fruit, crops. We
have only information:: in ttigard to .pattlettlar
neighborhaxis, but we believe that we are within
bounds when we say,that if the storm was of equal
violence in other Potomac .iections as upon parts
of Briton's Bay, the losS in the fruit and wheat
crops of the county will not fail much short of
.Sloo,oeo. ' Strange to say,' the storm does not
appear to have reached the Patuxent section at
all, and we have noticed in oneinunediate neigh
bood, that while several large fields of wheat on
the north side'of our bay escaped without mate-.
rial injury, on the south and oppcsite side, not a
mile apart, the destruction was both general and
complete.
The Seventeen Year Locusts.
These singular insects will make their appear
ance in the latter part of this month, probably
about the 20th. On the 16th ult. they were
plowed up Ingreat numbers at about cis inches
below the surface of the ground near Lancaster
city, Pa. They were found in the intoa or chrys
alis state, but were well advanced towards the
perfect insect. It is said by some that the seven
teen-year locusts arc not Identical with the
Egyptian locusts; in fact they are not locusts at
all but simply a sort of grasshopper.
They have not jaws like the locust,
and during their brief winged state devour
nothing. The only injury they do Is to the
young twigs of trees, which the female stings in
order to insert her eggs. The twigs die and 'tall
to the ground. When hatched from the egg the
grub burrows in the earth and spends the long
underground life in sucking roots and passing
through the various stages necessary to perfect
the flying machinery. At "sweet seventeen" it
emerges into society, Aping its underground shell
along theta& and steps out, ready to lay eggs,
or if of the opposite gender, to best his drum for
a few weeks In the summer. sunshine. When the
eggs are maid and the song sung, death closes the
