    AWFUL THUNDER STORM.
A mornEß STRUM DEAD IN TIME
MIDST OP HER INFANTS.
From the correspondence of the Toron
to Patriot, we learn that early on the
morning of the 28th March, a dreadful
storm of thunder and lightning visited'
—river St. Clair, and that "soon alter
daylight the inhabitants were made ac
quainted with the following melancholly
and heart-rendering accident:—Mr. Hens•
ry Agar, residing an the river bank, about
a mile above this place, who, with 3 others
had been out all night, doing duty, as
volunteers, about daylight returned home
with the intention of taking rest. On
his near approach to the house, he discov
ered the ridge boards somewhat out of or.
der, and on approaching still nearer he
discovered fragments of wood, broken
glass, etc., which impressed his mind that
the house must have been injured by the
alarming storm. He opened the door,
when he found one of his little daughters,
six years old, and another three years,
taking care of the infant of nine months
nil crying and setting on the foot of the
bed. The first words uttered by the el
der girl were:'—Oh, father, the house has
been on fire, and mamma is sleeping so
sound we cannot wake her' It is sarcely
possible for the most susceptible to form
an idea of, or fur any one to describe the
state of agony and distraction which at
this instant seized the mind of the unfor
tunate and beraved Ma. Agar. He trem
bling approached the bed, and there he
discovered his kind and affectionate part
ner, whom but a few hours before he
had left in good health and spirits, now a
lifeless corpse. It was soon after discov.
ed that the fatal mesenger had entered
at the gable end of the house, ;by forcing
its way between the logs, close to the bed
in which the unfortunate Mrs. Agar with
the three children was lying two at the
foot, and the infant at her bosom.—lt is
supposed dm fatal shock struck her on
the head, as part of the heir on her fore
bead appeared as if it had been collected ,
together and burned with a pair of tongs;
the upper part of the breast appeared as
if it had been struck with great violence
by some hard substance, leaving a mark
resembling a star; and all that part of the
body which was in contact with the bed,
even down to the feet, was much disco!•
mired, rather resembling purple than black.
'lle eldest child said that her .mamma's
cap had been on fire, and most fortunately
she had the presence of mind to extin
guish it, which ist ono so young is most
wonderful. No doubt this was the mews
of saving the house and all from being
burned. It appears the cap had bent
forced from her head by the fatal stroke,
as it had been lying on the blanket coy- ,
erin the breast, and was smelted nearly
to a cinder.
The child also states, that when the
storm was raging with great violence, sh,t
asked her mamma if she was afraid, and
she replied, 'No my dear, the great gal
will take care of us all,' but she never
spoke again. She also added, when ante
infant was crying she endeavored to wak
en her mamma, and when she could not
do so, she took the infant away, and she
and her sister endeavored to keep it quiet
and had been a long while so engaged, as
it was quite darts when she first took the
child away.
BANKS IN PENNSYLVANIA,
The subjoined bill, entitled an act to
prescribe the mode of Lpplication for
banks, has passed toth branches of the
Legislature.
Whereas, By the twenty• fifth section
or the first article of the amended Consti
tution, it is provided that no corporate
body shall herealter be created, renewed,
or extended, with banking or discounting
privileges, without six months previous
public notice of the application for the
same, in such manner as shall be prescrib
ed by la , v.—Therefore,
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatiues of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Gen
eral Assembly met, and it is hereby enact

whenever any citizen or association of
citizens of the commonwealth intend to
make application to the Legidature, for
the creation, renewal, or extension, of any
corporate body with banking or disconnt
ing privileges, it shall be their duty to
cause a notice of such intended applica
tion to be advertised in one paper printed
in Hat risburg, and two newspapers printed.
in the county in which the corporate body
is or is intenued to be located, at least
once a week in each paper, for six months
before the meeting of the then next Legis.
tin e; and the notice of such application

of capital or intended amount of capital,
of such corporate body, and in case of the
renewal or extension of any such corpo
rate body, such notice shall also specify
the amount of increase of capital if any in

An old lady in the country, hearing of
the death of an acquaintance of her's who
resided in the city, said she guessed he
must have died of Morns Multicaulis, as
she had heard th!, disease was very preva

FilE WHIRL IVIND'S WRATH.,
A letter to the editor of the Crawford
- , tatesman, published at Meadville Pa.
thus describes the course and effects of a
'very heavy tempest of wind and rain,
which passed through Cussewa4o town
ship, in th .t vicinity, on the '27di ultimo,
about 6 o'clock in the evening:
'lt commenced on the farm of M'Par
land di Co., by tearing up several large
apple trees, and, passing along, levelled
to the ground about an acre of sturdy
beach and maple trees; then coming in
contact with a new house, raised it to
the very dust, and shattered it to atoms
Pieces of it were thrown in every three.
titn—beams and plates were cast hoot
two to six rods—rafters, sixty—and the
roof was carried about one hundred. A
stove, supposed to weigh about 500 lbs.,
.vas hurled about six rods, and broken to
liezes. and the windows were found three
or tour miles distant. The fences on the
north of Freem's him, and the south of
Dilluner's, were liown down, and the
rails scattged 80 and 100 rods, leaving
the crops exposed. The course of the
storm has been traced for about three
miles in length, and from a quarter to a
half mile in breadth, by the destruction of
every thing on its rout. Some damage
was dune to cattle and stock, but 1 have
heard of no loss of life.'
ANOTHER SUB TREASURER GONE.-
The following is an extract of a tette,
from a gentleman dated,
Livermore, Oxford Co. M e.,
June 5, 1839.
1
r * Col nel Andrews, the
famous Loco Foco refiresentutive to our
last Legislature from Turner, in this co.
absconded about a fortnight since, leaving
many of his Loco brethren in the !imbues.
Being a great friend of the people, he was
chosen treasurer of the surplus revenue
which the town voted to distribute about
a year since. The selectmen drew their
orders on the treasurer, and some small
.portion of the money which had been let
out was not collected, in consequence of
which his plea was he could not pay the
orders. It is said his bondsmen will have
to pay a large sum for him. To many of
his constituents lie gave his private note
in payment of their orders, bat to how
large an amount I am nut aware. For
some titre previous to his Swartwouting
he was very industrious in borrowing
money of every bo , ly whom he could pre•
veil upon to lend him-- even of girls whin
had saved a little of their hard earnings..
It is supposed• his delinquencies will'
i
amount to $4OOO. It physics his L meth.'
Foe° friends rather harmi, as they have
been puffing him up as the breatest man in
all the country mound about, and hail fixed
upon hint as the successor of the great
' Vir it Delphini Purris in the Congress of
the United States, lie has probably gone,:
to fexas in search of his fellow laborers'
in the great cause of Loco•Focoism; Linn,
Boyd, Harris, and Jubal Harrington, id
smne genus.—Boston
The New York Evening Post relates
the following:--Several Irishmen were
talking about sunset, at the corner of !tat
er and Gouveneur stree„ when one of
them whose name is said to be Peter Gro
gan said in a boastful way that the Yon
kees were cowards and he could whip ;
Yankee at anytime. lie was overheerti
by an American, Hardwick by name, wha•
came up to Grogan and telling him that !!e
would show bite what a Yankee could do,
struck him on the neck. The blow kil
led Grogan instantly. Hardwick, wh,•
thought guilty of utiwarranialde vlllence,
doubtless did not intend it kill the trim,
was taken into custody."

Oa Friday last, the special election

committed by the creatures of the Dog

testing Mr. Stevens, who was again a viii
unteer before the people, avowing hi s
wish to meet the usurpers in the Hall, and
tell them oftheir shame and villiany. He
sought no party nomination, but presen_
ted himself as the candidate of an injured
people. We have just learned, that they
sustained him —nobly and triumphantly
sustained him, and he goes back to that
Hall, to tell them of their violations of
law. They dreaded--they feared his
presence. His tal tats—!us integrity, and
.vithall his baldness and zeal, made them
fear with an exposure as they knew h,
would give them. But he is with them

stance —the miserable 'metes of power

corruption and knavery, will be forced to
writhe beneath his "all smiting steel."
They must hear—and the bully, beast,and

for their services than the old ones, Le

Yet notwithstanding all this, their howls

'Nothing we imagine, except counting the

created because the supervisors could not

was created in order to double Mr. Ri'

But still farther, supervisors are allowed

The Canal.
TVehave now been tour years on this
division of the Pennsylvania canal, and
we can safely say that at no one Cfne du
ring that period, has there been such cul
pable neglect and tardy operations by the
state officers. Not hardly a week, we
might almost say a day passes that there
is not a break in the canal. Some two
weeks since a large break occurred below
Lewistown, which was not repaired for
ten days, although onehalf that time
was considered sufficiently long to have
had it finished. Before this break was
passed we believe by all the boats, another,
occurred about 15 miles below this place,
and was occasioned by the most consum
mate carelessness, if we have been rightly
informed. On Thursday, a very severe
rain fell, and raised the small springs Sc
which empt . - 1 into the canal, and the loci;
keeper, the foremen and all, were some
where where they should not be,and never
discovered it until the level was full to
overflowing, and the breach already made
in the bank.
Now what on earth are our officers for
if it be not to attend to such things a;
such times as there is most need of them.,
But this is a new order of things, seven.
supervisors, fourteen foremen, and one'
superintendent cannot watch the canal
only. in pleasant weather— they do not
like to allow the winds of Heaven to visttl
too roughly their delicate carcases, and s
when every man ought to he at his post,
they can be found esconsed in some com
fortable corner.
The whole of the marvel is not yet
done. Last year during a most unprece
-1 dented dry season, the breach above here
was mended, und was pronounced by the
Porter devotees to be a most miserably
done job, and that it could not stand with
out much additional labor and expense.
Even David R. himself said—and we
doubt not would have swore to it—that he
had personally examined it, that it was in
a wretched condition; all this and more
he said in his message, and now look at
the thing, Not one break has taken place
along the whole line of new work—thus
the work itself will rise up like the old
records, to tell the tale of his folly and
infamy. It was false that he had person
ally examined them; and every body along
the line knows it. It was false that they
were not well done—and his own engin
eers will tell him so—the permanence cf
the work will tell him so—and if con•
scienciousness is not extinct--it will tell
hum that he wrote it all, knowing that it
was basely and wilfully false at the time
that he wrote it.
Once before, we urged upon the lock
keepers to keep their levels is a regular
stage of water. The high and low tides
should be avoided. Last week we saw a
boat or two sticking opposite our town for
the want of water; it is r lcctle to had
when boatt are detained by the wilful in

hope that they will be more careful in fu
ture.
Canoe Creek Post Oftice.
For some cause or other the people who
reside &iota this Post Office, have fallen
under the displeasure of Amos, or some
of his paltry t , pimps, panders, and para
sites," who infest every section of the
country, and whose march of mind gen.
erally marches out of the country with
some of uncle's treasure in their pocket
-generally known as leg treasurers. Hut
so it is tor some cause not yet ascertained,
the people of this district of our count?
can have no Post Office; and the only
cause that can possibly be imagined is.
that there is no Loco Foco knan'there to
take charge of it.
For a number of years this Vost Offico
has been located, and now fur the first
time it has been takea away, and the citi
zens are obliged to climb over a moun
tain five miles either way, to learn wheth
erthey have any thing in tke office. It is
a paltry, and contemptable outrage upon
the rights of the people. klut those who
have formerly obtained their letters and
papers there, are citizens of those two
unfortunate townships ,-- Morris and
Frankstown, di will not bus down to the
dagon of Porterism. They ',are an honest,
quiet people, elm repudiate knaves and
knaveries, and consequently they are the
objects of their animosity and hatred.
Last gill Morris township was insulted
by the changing of the Post Office, so as
to give it into the hands of one calcuk;ed
to fill it to tZeir liking, and we earnestly
trust that the citizens of that townkip
will keep in proper remetnb ranee that matt
who would become the tool and play-thing
of a band of political knaves, who would
sacrifice their first born upon the altar of
party, or would drink their mother's blood
to appease the moloch of factiom He
deserves to be remembered. And re•
membered too, that the present party in
power, an this State and this Nation, pre •
fers the services of "drunkards, rowdies,
perjurers, knaves and thieves ,"—and
that from them and their companions are
you to look for justice, until you rise in
your majesty and hurl the invaders irons
their seats of power.
