Terrl.ble Storm at Meadville.
MEADVILT.E, Pa., May 24.—We were vis
ited yeater day by a very aevere atorm of rain
and hail, tvhich has caused immense damage
to the crops and fruit. Such was the vio
lence of the storm that in all buildings in
any way exposed, the windows are shattered,
while in the outsdirts of the town numerous
out-houses have been completely demolished
fenoes carried away, &c. It seems to have
extended over the greater part of this coun
ty end Erie, and the immense quantity of
tain falling has greatly swollen the streams,
causing apprehensions of great damage to
property. It is reported that in the lower
end of the county several mill dams have
already been carried away.
f 'lndian Difficulties in Minesota.
CINCINNATI, May 24.— 8y the receipt of
St. Paul's (Minesota) papers of tho 13th inst.,
we learn that the old hatred is again dis..
playing itself between the Sioux and Chip
pewa tribes of Indians, notwithstanding the
treaty of peace made last winter. A party
of the Chippewas have been barbarously
murdered by some of the Siosx, and a large
number of the latter, armed and painted,
have also taken the war path, and directed
their march against the Chippewas. The
Governor, who has great influence with all
the tribes, greatly regrets this movement of
the red men, and will do all in his power to !
check the shedding of each other's blood, j

Foreign News.
Tho very important foreign news brought
by the steamship Baltic may be summoned
up as foliows :
Rumor says that the King of Naples is
dead—and if the report should piove frue,
he will not be lamented by his people.
The Queen Isabella ot Spain has had the
misfortune to break her leg. Whether her
people will lament for her the telegraph
sailh not.
DROwNr.D. —A little boy, aged about three
yearsj son of Joseph L. Langton, of Gran
ville townsqip, Mifflin county, fell into the
spring near the farm house on Wednesday
morning while the family was at breakfast
and was drowned. Some fish had been put
in the spring the day previous, and it is sup
posed curiosity to see them led him to visit
it — Lewistomi Gazette.
SITCIDE —On Saturday morning last, an J
unknown white man, thought to be übout j
70 years of age, was found suspended by j
the neck in the bam of Mr. Charles Wright, .
near ihe old inclined plane. It is supposed
that he had been hanging from the Thursday \
afternoon previous, as on that day he took j
breaklast and dinner at tho inn uf Messrs i
Whitehill fc McMinn. Three dollars and a j
half in money, besides various articles, wore
found on his person. J. W. Fisher, Esq , j
Deputy Coroner, held nn inquest on the boil \

TIIE T URKISII COSTUME.—A lady made her j
appearance in Chesnut street, on Saturday j
afternoon, for the first time, with this new
style of dress. The news immediately ;
spread from Third to Dock street, and the
fashionable world became excited. The i
crowd rushed to and fro, in their anxiety to
got a peep at her, and we waited some time
to note the appearance of the Marshal's Po
lice, to make arrest, but were disappointed.
The weather was unfavorable for promena
ding, the wind rather high, and die manne
in which the silk fluttered about the po
lady's pipe-stems, reflected but little for he
modesty and less for her physical propot
tioits.— Pennsyhanian.
THE SALT LAKE. —Lieut. Gunnison, of th
Topographical, Engineers, who has bee
employed for a long timo past in tho surve
of the Great Basin, in which the Salt Lake i
situated, speaks of tho Lako as an object o
Ihe greatest curiosity. Tho water is abou
one third salt, yielding that amount on boil
ing. Its density is considerably greater tha
that of tho Dead Sea.—One can hardly go
his whole body below the surface. In i
sitting position, the head and shoulders will I
remain above water, such is the strength oil
tho brine, and on coming to the shore tho]
rbody is covered over with an incrustation of I
salt, in fine crystals.—The most surprising!
thing about it is the fact, that during .thej
summer season theJLake throws on shorn
abundance of salt, when in the winter seal
son it throws up glouber salt in large quanfl
tities The reason of this is left to the sciJ
ontific to judge, and also what becomes oil
ihe enormous amount of fresh water poured!
into it by three or lour large rivers—Jordan,|
Bear and Weber—as there is no visible out-,

EFFECT OF A POLITICAL OUATION. —'I want
some man to go down into our district and,
make a speech,' said a good honest farmer,'
as he bid good morning to a couple of young
lawyers, who flourish ill the vicinity of the
Exchange—'Can't you go down ?'
' 'No I can'f really, I've some business on
hand which can't be delayed.'
'Well, I'm sorry for that, for all tho neigh
bors told me that you was the best man to
get.'
'Sorry I can't go, but so it is.'
'Look here, my friend,' said tho other law
yer, 'I sometimes make speeches myself.'
'Do you?—then s'pose you go.'
'Well I don't know abouilhat. I might
do very well. In '44 I made a speech one
night at a whig meeting, and it took me un
til midnight to get through with it. The
folks seemed to like it well enough for three
or four hours, but when it got into th e big
house everyone of 'em left but one.'
'Well that man was a good whig, I know.'
'Oh, yes ' certainly— but he stayed to dun me.
Beaattfr Sumner, of Muss.
The following is an extract from Charles
Sumner's letter of acceptance. No matter
under what influence he was elected, or
what may be his personal feelings on the
subject of slavery, we need fear no destruct
ion to our glorious Union, through bia agen
cy, while he holds such sentiments :
"I accept it as the servant of the Union,
bound to study and maintain, with equal
patrioiio care, tne interests of all parts of
our couutry—to discountenance every eiiort
to loosen any of those ties by wbtch .our
fellowship ot States is held in fraternal com
pany, and to oppose all sectionalism, wheth
er it appears in unconstitutional etiorts by
the South, aided by Northern allies, to carry
the sectional evil of slavery into the tree
Stales—or in whatsoever etloris it may make
to extend the sectional domination ol slavery
over the National Government —With one
of the 'Union' is twice blessed—first, as the
powerful guardian ot the repose and happi
ness ol tliirty-oue sovereign Stales, clasped
by the endearing name ol ccuntrp, and next,
a* the model and beginnuing of Uial all em
bracing lederation ol States, by which Unity.
I'eaee and Concord will anally be organized
amon" lhe nations ; nor do 1 believe it pos
sible whatever moy be die delusion ot the
hour, that any part thereof can be perma
nently lost from its well compacted bulk,
'li l'luribus Unum' is stamped upon the na
tional coin, the national territory and lite na
tional heart.—Though composed ol many
pails, unifbd into one, the Union is sopara.
ble only by a crash which shall destioy the
whole."
NORTH BHANCH CANAL. —The advertise

and superintendent N. B. Canal, published
under the advertising head invites propo
sals at the Engineers oflice in To wanda, for
the completion of twenty sections, ono dam,
locks, aqueducts, culverts, and other work
on this great improvement. This is proba
bly the last chance for a contract, and the
competition for work will in consequence
probably be vert great.
AN AFFECTING AFPEAL. —A learned coun
sellor, in ihe middle of an affecting appeal
in court on a slander suit, let fly tho follow
ing flight of genius :
'Slander, genllemen, like a boa constrictor
of gigantic size arid immeasurable piopor
lions, wraps the coil of its unwieldy body
about its unfortunate victim, and heedless of
thr shrieks of agony that come from the in
most depts of its victim's soul, loud ank re
verberating as the mighty thunder that rolls
in the heavens, it finally breaks its unlucky
neck upon the iron wheel of public opinioni
