THURSDAY, APEIL 1, 1S75.
XOWe succeeded to admiration, last
week, in rousing our slumbering, timid, dis
tinguished tioiiii l.-r from his letheriry, aiid to
draw from Lis usually slu.-gish brain a very
respectable uiodieum of evidence of his abil
ity to square hiiuseif on paper and invent
wit when oeva-ion or necessity drove him to
I bo ta.-k. AVc knew all along that he had it in
him, and have said so on more than one oc
casion and thai it needed only proper prud
iing to arouse the Lion in hi.s lair, and
to canst- his thundering tones to reverberate
('.rough the air. Our receipe is most effec
tual indeed we Deed but to take a pencil
and give him a punch beneath the ribs, and
such music as we bring from hi.s Democratic
den across the way is cnouah to make the
very sirens Keep with envy. And then, too,
the so; as ho ciiigs about running upstream
just the very song among others to suit his
mclifluous voice, and to tickle with a most
wonderful tickle.
And then too our distinguished neighbor
lit iows all about-rowing up stream its trials
and difficulties, and he knows that we know
that he knows it too that we have worked
together in the same boat we helping hiat
nil, nearly all the time and only succeeding
in keeping him clear of snaggs, but never
nuking headway progressively and always
remaining in one spot rowing round and
round and uever getting ahead. We will
say nothing about the Chief Burgess-ship,
which has always been a success, and has
c i used us on more than one occasion to regret
i hat with him at the forward oar all should
be condemned to failure. Nor will we say
jitiything about the time when, solitary and
aloue, without essaying to consult us, he at
tempted to push up stream as a herdsman
that was his work rough work it' was too,
its it laid him Hat on his back, a food for
laughter to the man who looked on and en
joyed the fun. We put on sack cloth and
n.-hes and mourned over it as in duty bound.
But there was his effort to row up stream, as
;i legislator and then we helped him helped
him with all our might, but the returning
tide of public opinion was too many for our
united efforts even the street commissioner
could not help him the Bartonsville tanner
being altogether too many for the Banjo
snapper of Democracy, and Amaudus and
the Jjj were both left on their backs, we
g it up, however, in time to show him while
he yet lay upon his back that wit?Tihe row
ers reversed it was just as easy to get up
stream as it was to remain down, if only one
rowed aright, for we had not the least
trouble, with hisporoWaid of course to step
into the Chief Burgess-ship. And there was
that other time, when his eyes sparkled over
the prospect of a congressional career. We
jiguiu jumped in the boat with him and at
tempted to stem the tide, but it was no use.
J. . put his nose iu our way, and though
we rowed, and pulled, and tugged and sput
tered he with us and we with him all our
fllorts ended iu a most magnificent swamp.
Again, as there was nothing in hand for him
we paddled to shore, and, with hi assistance
of course stepped into the honorable position
if Chief 1 Jurgess, and, we have no doubt,
that but for the fact there, was an inkling
I hat he was by and hrol a hand in our efforts,
1 ih the commissioner and the water would
have run, the other
day,
precisely as we
wanted it to run. We have a new idea now
:. reference to our distinguished neighbor
looking to his advancement both in dignity,
honor and stamps, and we mean to join him
heart and hand in the gratification of a djsire
that lies very near his heart, and this time
we mean to make a successful effort to mak
ing him our new Associate Judge. We feel
that he would adorn the bench and that the
licneh would adorn and pay him, and hence
w-: give notice, that from henceforth, until
the day of election, our efforts are pledged
for the advancement of the future Judge
Amaudus Orevus Greenwald. We do this
iu v iew of the fact that Congressional honors
are so far iu the future for Monroe county,
J hat both our distinguished neighbor and
viurself would tire ourselves to death ere we
could accomplish half the distance of so loug
up stream a pull.
Next our neighbor refers, in a witty strain
to his effort in securing the post office print
iug. We regret sincerely that lie touched
this point iu the way he did. It was not at
'ill necessary that he should thus publish to
the world the low price at which he held his
services ia support of the incumbent, and
his silence iu reference to the administration.
Three dollars and fifty cents paid iu full for
both and yet we do not kuow that the pur
ehaser had much of a, bargaiu after all.
J lis silence, it is true, was secured ; but then
his pen amounted to nothing dangerous, fur
the time has not yetcomein which he dared to
use it either for manly condemnation or open
unequivocal support of anything. The price
certainly was not much of a bite, and the fact
that we did not bid for it is certainly proof
that we had no particular hankering after
it.
Our distinguished neighbor next grows sar
castic, and couples us iu connection with "a
certain christian statesman out at Mauch
Chunk," in a scramble to .supplant our pre
sent post mi-it ress. J f e even goes so far as to
gjvc our thoughts; and yet .since that present
god of Democracy Andrew Johnson hoisted
us, as our neighbors dairy of "auld lang
sy!:c," hoisted him, our hankerings have been
for anything but the postniusters.hip, and his
juicasm loses force for want of the sinide
-rain of truth necessary to give it point. We
have thrieo had the position offered us by a
.1.1.1 i . t ,
l lower pote!:r in me una, i,uc pave a. ways
J Jined the honor. Oar utterances have b en
publi-hed i'luiii conviction of their justice.
Mr. Albright and Simon Cameron are both
readers of the Jcjf. and their names have
never been omitted iu the making up of our
mails. We were just in couiracndatioa of
the good, deeds of the powers that be, and
we believe we were altogether as just iu our
condemnation of their bad deeds. The ,hjj'.
is not the Democrat that it must .swallow
every act of party, and either praise or sing
dumb when every sense of right dictates
that it should condemn.
Our distinguished neighbors application of
J.-op, in another article, is not by any
means as appropriate or fclieitious as: it might
be, but for him it is good and we leave it as
a sweet morsel to roll uuder his tongue,
satisfied that his protruding cars will forever
prevent hiai from being mistaken for the
iiou.
5i7 Our neighbor, across the wa, last
week, presented the claims of Judge Drehcr
to the consideration of the Democracy for
Governor. That party has not a man iu its
rauks, better qualified nor more deserving of
the position than is the Honorable Samuel
S. Drehcr, but the fact is that he is too good
a man for the party. They do not want
such a man for the position for honest, fear
less, and true he would stand as au invulner
able bulwark against the inroads of the lead
ers on the Treasury. Nor is the Democrat,
serious in its advocacy of Mr. Drehcr for the
position. We have seen that kind of move
before, and understand what it means as per
fectly as does the party who dictated it. The
fact is no body here wants Judge Drehcr to
be (Jovernor. We all worked to place him
iu the position he now fills so honorably and
so well, and all want him to remain just
where he is an object of pride for us all over
the possession iu him of a model judge, a
rare good citizen, and, in every sense of the
word a perfect christian gentleman. Such a
man we want here, just where the suHVages
of Uic people placed him. But why talk about
it such a man the Democracy do not want
for Governor and will not nominate him.
IIavixo occasion to visit uptown, a few
days since, we took a look around generally,
and, among other places, dropped in to see
friend Kautz. As usual we found Valentine
up to the very top of his head in business
first here, then there and then somewhere
else but all the time having a keen eye to
everything that was going on and making
particular note that every man, in every par
ticular branch of business, was going on pre
cisely as it ought to each one selecting the
best material and fashioning it in the best
shape to meet the purpose for which it was
intended. Watching our opportunity we
iinalhy succeeded in fastening on to Valentine,
and then we took a look around to see what
was to be seen. The visit was pleasant, and
the view was most gratifying, as setting forth
before us the fact that Monroe county folks
have no heed to go abroad for anything, from
a plain rivet to a horse well shod from a
wheel-barrow to the most stylish carriage that
rolls over the road and there were wagons
for heavy Work and wagons for light work
and buggies for the wedding trip and bug
gies for pleasure and carriages for the few
and carryalls for the ma 113', and lumber iu
abundance, of the best material and in the
best condition of seasoning to make anything
that may be called for from a velocipede to
a palace car from a hand cart to a wagon
that will carry a mountaiu load. And in ali
its departments the establishment is com
plete having blacksmith shop, wheelwright
shop, paint shop and trimming shop all uuder
one roof, and each department complete iu
its appointments and filled with the best
workmen to be procured. These facts, taken
in connection with that other fact that Valen
tine keeps an unflinching watch over the whole
should, we think, be .sufficient to induce all
to feel and to know that in hiscitabli-hmcnt
we have just the place to go to, to make cer
tain of getting just what we want in shape of
au outfit, and the full work in that for which
we pay our money. Header drop iu and see
for yourself. Friend Kautz charges uothing
for showing what is to be seen, even though
your curiosity includes Italian Dees and the
best hive extant ; for he finds tiuie, in con-
nection witn ms extensive busiuess lor a
pleasurable attention to these too.
Thk Dkl. Lack. & Wkstkrn Railroad
for several days, last week, had a large force
of hands employed cutting a channel through
the ice in the Water Gap. This we presume
was to case the way for the large gorge of
ice, nearly twenty miles in length or from
near Shawnee beyond Dingtnan's Ferry
This gorge has been a grand affair, and has
been visited by thousands from many miles
away, but its grandeur was more than com
pensated by the great fear of consequences
sure to flow from its sudden detachment from
its confined position. The railroad com
pany's idea of the danger to everything in
its path was clearly set forth by the offer
made to the Portland bridge company, of
1 0,000, if they would take their bridge out
of the way before the ice started. Indeed
everybody, all along the river has been living
in trepidation for a month past over the pos
sible direful consequences of a sudden
up, and not without reason. One of the
incidents attendant upon the visits to the
gorge was an overwhelming sousing indulged
jn by our townsman Mr. Frank Hess.
Ot'lt citizens were startled some by the
alarm of fire on Thursday afternoon last,
which grew out of the burning of some straw
iu Mr. E. Hibbler's wood shed, near his
barn, set fire to by some loys playing with
matches, and which, iu turn set fire to the
building. The fire was got under by the aid
of the citizens, while the Steamer did it:
share in serving the adjoining buildings.
And right here comes in au argumcut in fa
vor of those cisterns, about which we have
said so much.. In the central part of the
"burg" there is no telling what might have
been the consequences of that fire.

THE TORNADO AT THE SOUTH.
THK .MOST DKSTRUCTIVK STORM IN THE
ANNTALS OF THK COKXTV K3 PEO
PLE KILLED AND 123 WOUNDED.
The Atlanta,
Ga., Constitution of the
2-Rh, give
full particulars of the recent
terrible tornado m that State ami ;-outii
Carolina. Light counties in Georgia, and
three in South Carolina, need relief from
the tornado. The list of the killed and
wounded is appalling. The inarch of the
tornado was west from Harris county,
across Talbot, Upson, Monroe, Jones, Bald
win, Hancock, Glascock, McDuffie, and
Columbia, touching Richmond also, and
passing into Carolina. In Hancock county,
sixteen houses were destroyed at one place,
and in Glasscock thirty-five lives lost. At
Mary ville, in Warren county, three uegroes
were killed, their bodies being carried a
half mile. The total list of killed and
wounded foots, "105 killed, and 12.3 wound
ed. The tornado is thus described by a
correspondent : Those who viewed it from
the south describe it as being densely black,
while all who reviewed it from the opposite
direction agree in describing it as being
luminous as flame. It was funnel-shaped,
with the point resting upon the ground,
and its broad top melting in the distance
where the 03-0 could not reach. It moved
with a lumbering sound, as if thousands
of pieces of artillery were pouring an in
cessant cannonade upon the earth. One
trontleman says if every cannon iu the world
had been fired simultaneously and inces
santly the roar could not have equalled
that of the wind, ever was such a tornado
felt in Georgia. The front cloud was pitch
black, half a mile high, and half a mile
wide. It was barrel-shape at times, and at
times it took the form of a half moon, re
volving from north to south. The rear
was illuminated with a huid, phosphores
cent, but wholly unnatural light. It trav
eled at the rate of seventy miles per hour.
It was flanked on the north and south sides
with dense clouds, but stood out in bold
relief alone. It demolished each planta
tion in twenty seconds. It was accom
panied by a sound as of five hundred can
non in the decisive moment of pitch bat
tle. Not a drop of vain fell from it, but a
great rain storm came up three hours af
terwards, and deluged the earth, accom
panied by hail, wind, thunder and light
ning. The cloud first appeared in a north
westerly direction, and gradually moved
south to a point where it must have met
some opposing force. My attention was
attracted by a dull, heavy roaring at ap
parently some two or three miles in a wes
terly direction, which induced the expecta
tion of a severe storm. I had but cx-
pressed this when the tornado
was upon
us. It spent its jrrcaiest fury in about
three minutes, my dwelling about the cen
tre, and the breadth of the main column
not exceeding 400 yards. The senses were
utterly deadened, appalled. There was a
crash, a roar, the mingling of a hundred
t.-rrifie and unknown sound? ; the glass,
shattered by the mere force of the wind,
were thrown across the rooms with force
enough to penetrate the flesh ; the shutters
were wrenched from their hinges. Of five
hundred noble oaks that had withstood the
storms of a century, not a half dozen were
left standing, and of that host of oaks that
surrounded my dwelling, but a solitary one
stands sentinel over the graves of its breth
ren. A negro man who saw the tornado
cross at Furry's Ferry, says it was a terri
ble sight. The air was filled with shingles
and limbs of trees whirling along at a tre
mendous speed. In Baldwin county a
shingle was driven, sharp end foremost.
several inches into the body of a small oak
tree it happened to strike direct!'. I he
found lodged m
the branches of a lofty tree, not exactly
in the hurricane's path ; and a child of the
ame race was btown away, and has not
been found at all. Dick Gonder was killed
by having the upper half of his head cut
on smoothly by a plank unven with the
wind, and the missing top of his head has
not been lound.
Another correspondent, writing from
Richmond county, says : Mr. Brown was
found with his head under a heavy plate.
His skull was fractured six inches. Mrs.
Brown was severely bruised, but their child.
a little boy six years old, was unhurt.
Three negroes on this place were killed. One
woman was blown l.0 yards through the
woods, and was broken and mamrled fear
fully. A child was blown from the arms
of one of the women, and its body had not
been found up to the time that our infor
mant left, borne tntrials were found in
the woods on Sunday, which, in the opin
ion of Dr. Hardeman, were those of the
ctiim. in crossing the river the wind lilted
the water up in a solid mass until it seemed
a perfect wall of water. Charles Johnson,
a man employed by Colonel Johnson, was
hauling a load of lumber to town from
Scotsboro, and seeing the danger, hastily
unhitched the horses. The wind picked
the horses up and dashed them against the
ground injuring them quite severely.
Charles, the driver, sustained a painful in
jury the wagon ami lumber were blown
away. A goat on the plantation of Colonel
rair was blown oft, as was all the poultry
