that he is the best "feller" who can deal most
readily in that which ordinary folks call smut.
Give thern the same advantages that you en
joyed, dear George, and they would become
better fitted to enjoy the excentricitiesofyour

The Effects of the Recent Storm.
A.violeut storm of wind and rain be
gan on Saturday morning, and cootiuued
almost uuremittiogly for 18 or 20 hours,
The wind was easterly, and the tides rose
higher than hat been known for the last
25 years. Some of the piers along tho
East aud North Rivers were completely
.-ubmerged, while the streets fronting the
water wre knee deep; and in Broad
street tho tide extended a high as Bea
ver s.trcet, a ditance of five t locks. The
cellars along South, Front, Water, and
Beaver strets were flooded, and a large
quantity of flour ttored in many of these
cellars was badly damaged. On tho
North River, the cellar aloug Washing
ton, Weft, and Greenwich street were
also flooded, aud many of the poor fami
lies occupying the basements iu that lo
cality suffered severely. The bar-room
in tbe ba-ement of the Northern Ucielr
on the corner of West and Ccrtlaadt
streets, was also flooded, aud in order to
serve their customers a small boat was
brought into requisition to carry the par
ties to the bar, at a nominal charge of two
eeut- per head; many availed themselves
of tbe opportunity, as it wss no novel and
ludicrous. The Atlantic and other docks
along the Brooklyn shore were also sub
oiergtd. There being but little or on
merchandize on the piers, of course but
slight damage could be suHaincd by
;Oodd. Some of the cellars which had
been made water-tight which briok and
cement were in a worse condition than
those in which no attempt had been mado
at protection, for the water, having flown
into them, had no chance of escape.
Wen were at work all yesterday pumping
out the cellar at the corner of Stone and
Broad streets. Wany smaller cellars had
this work complethd at a comparatively
early hour. Most of the dawago was
done after midnight. V
The coal arid brick-yard of Mr. Mar
fleet, at Staplctoo, Statcu Inland, was so
completely flooded that a large quautity
of coal aud brick upon the pier was
washed overboard, by the land inside of
the pier being underlined.
The old Quarantine piers at Statcn I
land were carried off, and the hull of the
William Tell got away from her moorings
at Hunteru Poiut, making a trial trip on
her own account. She na taken iu tow

In Brookl!) the gale eBu-d a great
deal of damage throughout the citv. .Ma
ny of the tenement in the lower portions
were completely flooded, and the families
experienced great dtfljenltv 'in remoiuf
their tedding and furnifcrc to more se
cure quarter, lhere were but few hou
ses into which the rain did not p?nttrate.
Large number of trees were blown down;
and one of the lamps lighting the main
entrance to the Hall was couipktclj de
molished. The effects of the gale were
moro severely felt in some of the out-, r
Wards, where the ground more eleva
ted, than in the densely-populated por
tion of the city. The roofs of several
buildiiuj were blcn off. fences broken
oown, and ehimney-tcps shattered. A
