Fron the Southern Christian Advocate. Rides About Cantdcu. No. 1. * KIRKtVOOl). Many persons ride, from many motives. Some for pleasure, as that happy couple in the Sociable. Some, for recreation, as that 'pale mechanic, who, by dint of hard saving, has been able to hire a cab for himself and wife, and means to take a short excursion into the country, and see, once more God's green eartl: -fresh from his own hand, and breathe the pure air of heaven, unadulterated by the myriad breathed miasma of tlie'cty. Some ft.rhealth, as that asthmatic old patient or coitsumptivt young one, that the Doctor has ordered an airing, every morning and evening. None ol these things move me, in the paiticular, per haps a.I in the general. I confess to my propelling motive, a wider range f?>r my eye. "nc pent up Uticsl," but "the whole unbounded' country or town, and bow to get at this .myrioramic, ever changing ever new amplitude ol prospect, but by a ride, a biisk ride in an open buggy, of a breezy summer morn or eve, with one, by one's side, to whom to exclaim " Lo what a goodiy prospect swells around, of hill.* and dales,"and woods, and lawns, and spires, with whom, to reciprocate the enthusiasm, at every springing up beauty of earth and sky * and water." It has been my happy lot to fn joy such rides, in various places. 1 may go to a place an entire stranger, and, yet in a short 1 ' ;i; 1 tune Vitil nave Decome mucu more laniiuarauu imbued with its interesting localities than per chance that venerable referee, its oldest inhabitant, and ooserve and note down many tiling? of importance, that for want of this bird's eye viev, had likely remained unnoticed and unknown by the tenants of the soil. Providence lias given me, in lien of what some utilit.rian might deem n more profitable girt, an eye for the beautiful, natural and moral, If there is any, anywhere within mv range, and, it is never ? circumscribed one, 1 am sure to find it out, and appropriate at least, with my eye and ear and heart. Who, then, can deny my great riches, despite the few pennies in my purse. No earthly principalities and power? could prevent me admiring and loving, which with the power of an autocrat and wealth ol Croesus, they are not always competent to themselves, and as loving ahd admiring mailt my happiness, more than a sceptre, or many pieces of ni?*tal or shining stones, so I am not only as happy, but, far happier than a Queen, if she is, after all, a nil admirari, and, lives noi to iove. Header, come, you were of yore, mine indalgent companion, in "Hides about Columbia." i would discourse you, now, about the classic shades of Camden, where, as usual I ride. "Quid rides?" why, do you, now ? foi Camden, though lift with the reputation >! possessing Venus' Cestus, like her younger and fairer sister, Columbia, yet, is she not without her charms, unostentatious but attractive, as I shall, presently, prove to the satisfaction of hci incredulous oldest inhabitant, or you. nut 1 advertise you, to see Camden, y ou must first s:r, in whose freshness ttnd energy the old mother lives her youth over again, and rejuvenates, to her heart's content. Beautiful, in deed, and healthful is Kirk wood, the houses built with all the tasteful improvements o| modern architecture, the sty le graceful and light and Grecian, to suit our Southern latitude, Some of the residences are really elegant, That of Mr. John M. DcSuussnre, a palace. The retreat of Dr. Boy kin, with miirorcd lake and sparkling fountain and umbrageous shades, fit haunt for nymph or naiad, is a perfect romance, not like Scott's Abbotsford " in man's brick and mortar," but in God's trees and water, Miss Mel'ae's cottage ornee is elaborately terraced, from the piazza to the road, some three hundred feet, and a ram brings, from a neighboring brook, an abundant supply of water for fountains, fishing ponds, and jets. Mr. ^ w. n/.nlii.n:i ?l% tired slowly, lighting with resolute dctermina i tion, stcj) by step, as they receded before the 1 accumulating pressun; of-the foe. Before we ] 1 quit the scene of the battle, we would like i to correct an impression made by some his- i toiians that it resulted in the entire defeat of I the American army. After liawduii had re- i tired to CAmden leaving Capt. Coffin, with his 1 whole troop in charge, Col. Washington decoyed Coffin-and his troop into a welK con* ' , certed ambuscade, who were either cut to pieces I ! or compelled to save themselves by flight. The 1 ; field thus virtually, remained in possession of ; the Ameiicaus. i , Time would fail me to .enum.'rate all the j striking and charming localities of Kirkwood. i bin passant, there 1ms been pointed out a do 1 i sirable tract of laud, proposed as a site for the i I contemplated Methodist Female College, for I j which Camden means to make a haiulsomc hiJ. I ! This consists of some thirty acres well wood- ; . ed, elevated, undulating, healthful as the niouii* I f tains, j'tid only about a mile from town, the < . neighboring sand-hills, thickly dotted with the i . liomes of u virtuous,* refined, and educated I > community... There is a peaceful servility ibout i ' ! these classic sliades that seem to mo as well : . J comporting with the academic groves of litem- : f ture;?the world's whirl of pxeilpment comes ' i not here, true refinement, unostentatious good- 1 i- ness cbaracteiize the society of the place. < ! Such influence mu.-t prove salutary to the i ' voiiinr. lint 1 nin not I'lectiuuecrimr for the i ' College ut Kirk wood. I speak the truth in the < love of it; I love the beautiful and true every i where, and especially some of their develop- i ments at Kirkwood. I , C'ompag.\ox WU VoVACE. ' Camden, S. C. 1 Itlai'i ied Life. " And to be wroth with one we love, i Doth work like madness on the brain." ^ Coleridge. < Within a few years, cases of difficulty, mis- > understanding, and separation in married life j t have, as it seems to us, greatly increased, and i . the alleged cause, in the majority of instances, , has heen ' inconipatibility of disposition.' in odier words the parties have not yet harmo* , uized together, have not determined to make due allowances for the imperfections and infirmities of each other, have indulged in outbreaks of temper, which increasing from day ; to day, have, in the end, been productive of the i ino?t deplorable cuscijuciicos. Jbithcr they < misunderstood each other at the commencei meut, or they forget in married life the rules of forbearance and indulgence, which they practiced in the sunny days of courtship. Ail, it should be remembered, all have their faults and frailties; and while in early life, in the limb j ; and buoyancy of youth and spring, these little spots on the sun of character and disposition may not be seen, or disregarded, if seen, we j chrolil ln> call till not to lilniriiilY' l!ir>m in al'tni* > years, or to refer to them as il they had heel) < discovered !br the. first time. The doctrine of I mutual furbcarj.nce cannot be too sedulously p cultivated and practiced, especially, in mar. I ried life. ' Trifles light as air' sometimes an- i [ noy and irritate. A harsh word will excite [ distrust or produce pain, w hile an angry look will rou-e in the sensitive breast, npprchcu- , i sions of the keenest kind. How important,; i t to"b, is the control of temper ! And this !an- I i guagc will apply as well to one sex as tire other.! i It is unreasonable in the husband to suppose j that he may indulge in violence of speech and . } harshness of manner, and yet meet with untilI dig but kindness ayd forbearance in return. . And .-o also is it absurd in the wife, to fancy i ! that she may fret, fume and scold, hour by j j i I hour and day by day, and all with impunity. j i , j There must be reciprocity. There must be a i, | disposition to give and to take. There must ! I be a determination to bear at;d forbear?tocoti. | ciliatc and compromise. It often happens that J i tastes differ widely with reference to company, ; i j social amusements, modes of living, ;wu! world- j ; f j I v appearances The husband, for example, 11 [ may be a business man, actively and arduously j ' engaged throughout the day, and exhausted in J ! some degree by nightfall. Under such cir- i i cum-taiices, it is unreasonable in the wife to ; I expect him to enter into the giddy mazes of fashion, to keep up till midnight at a brilliant | j party, and to follow this system night after i i | night, or even several times during each week, i Hither one of three tilings must give way mi- < der such a policy?the health, the business, or < the social festival. 1 he two former are aiming | | ! the essentials, and hence tliev should not he ! ! trilled with. A sensible woman will so mi- I | dcrstand the case, and govern herself accord: inglv. On the other hand, a gay and dashing j he lie, one perhaps who has been petted and j spoiled, one who is in the enjoyment of high i I health and beauty, should, as a wife, not he | j deprived of all gay and cheerful society. .She j j should not he compelled to sacrifice .all her j friends and companions, to gratify the disposi , ti'Ui or satisfy the selfishness ol her husband, i lioth, we repeal, should yield something. There should he a mutual understanding. The wife | should consider the out-door world, and the ; anxieties to which all inen of business are more or less liable. One of the lirst duties I which a man owes to his wife, is to provide her ; with the comloits of social existence, and this I can only be done by a prompt and faithful atI lilt? Iiiiwiiinuu ' Mini f every one, when a cheering voice, a conso- 11 ing word, and an encouraging smile are abso- j \ lutely essentia!. And where should these bo 11 sought for, if not at home? 'Nothing, says a celebrated writer, could be more touching than ( to behold a soft and tender female, who had been all weakness and dependence, and alive to every trivial roughness, while treading the prosperous path of life, suddenly rising in mental force, to be the comfoiter and supporter of the liusband under misfortunes, abiding with un- ( shrinking firmness, the bitterest blast of ad- ( versify. As the vine which has long twined e its giaeeful foliage about the oak, and has been lifted by it into sunshine, will, when the hard)' g plant has been rifted by the thunderbolt, cling j round it with its caressing tendrils, and bind j[> its shattered boughs; so too, it is beauti- t \jIIy ordained by Providence that woman, who | is the ornament and dependent of a man in his i nippier hours, should be his stay and solace j when smitten with dire and sudden calamity, 1 winding herself into the rugged recesses of j lis nature, tenderly supporting his drooping j head and binding up bis broken heart.' I But is this ever the ease, or arc there too ; many exceptions ? Alas ! we fear that with the itreat multitude there are faults on both sides. Phere are few even of those who.have entered !he weddtd state, who strive from the commencement to soften the ways of life the one j :o the other, to minister constantly to the com- i forts and happiness, to rememherand discharge : ill their duties and responsibilities. And when, j j loo, as it often happens, the demon spirit of an j ( nil temper is constantly manifested, not only | a little things but in great; when a shrill, | j iar>h voice of. complaint is perpetually ringing I In the ears of one or the other?when a dispo- ', dtinu to find fault without cause, and thus !o ! ( inrioy and irritate, is constantly apparent; j when the husband is despotic, and treats bis wile as a slave; or when the wife, 011 the oth* , :>r unuu, is constantly exacting ana never sirtv- t ing to discharge her part in rlie harmonious t obligation, the efleets arc hitter, painful, and 2very way melancholy. And yet there is no i relation on this side of the grave more sacred,. , more dignified, or more elevated, than that o{ t husband and wife. The parties might he, and should be, to each other, perpetual sources of | consolation and pleasure. There should be no . distrust, nor suspicion, no equivocation between beings so circumstanced. They should ( live as much as possible as if animated by one t soul and aiming at one destiny. Neither should look for perfection in the other, and yet , each should endeavor to excel the other in < generous efforts of gentleness, kindness, and s affection. It lias been well said that in this | world there is nothing of such value as affection, am! the most ti iding expression thereof, ] even though it be a single word of endear- . incut, is in the cars that are properly attuned, j a pleasanter sound than that of gold pieces. Think of these? hints, gentle reader, apply them j to your daily practices, and forthwith proceed to correct and amend your many errors of | omission and commission.?Penii.si/lcaniau. A Krokeaa BJcarl. , One of the most distressing and heart-rer.d- I iug events has recently occurred in the neigh* > borhood of IJethel, IJelhel township, Delaware eo , Pa., near the Delaware line, that we ever recollect having heard, or re:jd of, either in the pages of romance or the more startling incidents of real life. The consequence has been, that a young and lovely woman, a b: ':de of m:ly live mouth*;, cliecl u low weeks iigo ul ;i broken heart. A Mr. C., a highly respectable farmer living j ill the neighborhood, courted and married the | j daughter of another highly respected and wealthy fanner living, as we stated above, in lietln 1 township, lie took her to his home, where his cousin, who kept house for him, re- 1 reived her with smiles, and bade her welcome. ! 1 bit she soon found that some other tie was < drawing her husband's afi'eetions from her. I lie left her to sleep alone at night, which she i often passed in tears. She Soon .saw enough I to confirm her suspicious that his cousin had j withdrawn her husband's affections, and that | with him she engaged in the enjoyment of il- |1 licit love. She immediately addressed him. ; I telling him that she would leave the house for i a week?that during that time he must send < lii-> cousin away, and that she would then come ; hack and live with him, and forget all. lie I made her a promise that he would. She went I home. The. lirst. second and third week elapsed, and sliil no husband came. She then told her | i sister that it was lime for her to go home. | i The carriage came, and her sister accompanied I her. When she arrived at her husband's resi- 1 deuce lie was absent, engaged in the woods'. J < She was coldly received by the cousin, who 1 made no dibi t to get refreshments. She was ' I placing a pie in the stove when she remarked 1 rather insultingly, " this is lor Tom." The j t wife replied that there was enough for hint ami j: others loo, but the cousin reiterated that none ^ i-lse could have any. Up to this time she had ' t not told her grief to any member of her faini- j ly. 'I'ho sister soon alter departed, and the \ liusbatid arriving, she reminded him of his 1t promise of sending the cousin away, when she t was startled by his absolute refusal. She iui- j c mediately walked tip stairs, put a lew things |1 in a band box, and started for her father's house an fool. .She had not gone far before her bus- I baud overtook her in a carriage, and offered to J t lake her home, but she refused and went the r whole distance on foot. She then unburdened ! t ler grief tocher family. The next day her \ lather ordered his wagon, ahd went to the litis- h' Hand's residence for the purpose of taking i iway the furniture he had supplied his daugh- t or with on her marriage. Upon arriving at the louse, the husband was absent, the cousin ' a done being there. She had locked up all the loors and drawers, and "refused llieiu admit- j 1' ance. Tlie father (lien addressed hi> daughter, j elling Iter she was mistress, and to give orders ' o break open the doors. She did so. The j I lours were accordingly forced, and ino>tof the | urnilure and clothes belonging to the deserted ;i aide, were taken to her father's where, upon 1 ivr arrival, she took to her bed and died, of j } jioken heart. jo Thus was a young and lovely being, whom j ' none knew but to love," or " named her bat j t o praise,"?only live months a bride?through j y i usbed and slighted affection, hurried to her ' o onib. The violator of the holy'marriage vow, vill suffer the stings of a guilty conscience for lie murder of which he litis been instrumental. 1'he funeral was attended by an unusual con:ourse of the people of the neighborhood* Blue Hens Chicken. Faitlifiilucsii in Little Things nv ELIZA A. CLARK. 'Ts Mr. Harris in?*' inquired a plainly but icatly dressed boy of twelve or thirteen, to a ilork, as he stood by the counter of a large book tore. The well-paid cTerk regarded the buy with a upercilious look, and answered, " Mr. Harris is n, but he is engaged." The boy looked at the clerk hesitatingly, and hen said, "If lie is not particularly engaged, I hould like much to see liiin." "If you have any business to transact, I can ittend to it," replied the clerk. "Mr. Harris canKit be troubled with children like you." "What is this, Money said a pleasant look ng elderly man, stepping up to the clerk; "what loos the boy want?" "lie insisted on seeing you, though 1 told him ,'ou were engaged," returned the clerk, a little ibashed by the manner of his employer. "And what would you have with me, my lad?" nquired Mr. Harris, kindly. The boy raised his eyes, and meeting the half eornful glance of the clerk, said timidly, "I wish o look at the bill of some books which I bought lore about three months since. There is a misake in it which I wish to correct." "Ah, my boy, I see," replied Mr. Harris, "you mve overpaid us, I suppose." "Xo, sir," answered the boy. "On tiiecontray, I purchased some books which are not charg:c a present to you; and henceforth, as now, my boy, remember and not 'despise the dnv of little things.1 If ever you need a friend, call on me, and for your mother's sake I will assist you." When the grateful boy left the store, through lis own tears lie saw the moistened eyes of his twn benefactor. kdward Delotig wished for knowledge, and hough the scanty means of his mother could inrdly satisfy his desire, lie had advanced far be .<>iid most boys of bis age. l>y working liiglits uid mornings for a neighbor, he had amassed, ivhat seemed to him, a largo sum of money, and his was expended in books. Scarcely was he in possession of his treasures, vlini his mother sickened and died. His home vas now with a man who regarded money as lie chief end and aim of his life, and severe and o aslant physical labor as the only means of obaining that end. For two years, Edward straggled with his lopelcss condition. Toil, early and late, was his loom, ainl to his oft expressed wish of obtaining in education, his employer answered, 'T,cartiin' over made corn grow, or tilled ;i field, and what vas the use on it.' I can only read and write, aid there ain't a richer man in the place, not xccpting Sotiire Morrison, with all his hirnt nolens." * * * * * "Is Mr. Harris in ?" inquired Edward, as lie igain entered the store of that gentleman. "Will vou wait a moment, and lie will lie at ibelly !" "I >id you wish to sec him.''' asked Mr. Harris if the hoy, whoso thoughts were so intense that ie had not noticed the approach of his friend. "Mr. Harris!" exclaimed Edward, and it was II he could say. "My noble Edward !" said the old man. "And on have needed a friend. \N ell, you shall have lllO." Five years from that time Edward Holongwas ho confidential clerk of Mr. Harris, and in three cars more a partner in the firm. The integrity if purpose which first won the regard of his ben cfactor, was his guide in after life. Prosperity crowned his efforts, and happiness blessed hi heart?the never-failing result of faithfulness ii ''little- things." : A Word to Apprentices.?The Bostoi Olive Branch, a paper whose moral teaching! are always sound, gives the following excelleni advice to apprentices, and if they would follow it, they would he all the happier and better. Be faithful, boys. In a few years you wil be of age, and it will give you unspeakable sat isfaclion to hear a good word spoken by youi masters in your face. If you are idle and neg. ligent now, if you are eye-servants and rejoice to be away from the presence of your employ ers, that you may give vent to your propensities?what encouragement have you to hope that you will become anything but idle men and vagabonds ? A good, faithful apprentice will always make a worthy and industrious map. The correct habits of youth are not lost in the man. We have watched the progress of mauy apprentices, and we never knew a good boy tc turn out a bad inan. If apprentices are really honest and faithful, there can be no doubl but they will become good, wise5*and respected citizens. Associate with no youth who is addicted tc bad practices. One bad boy mayjuin a score As soon as you discover in a companion a dis position to be dshonest, profane or even vulgai in his language, we would beg of yon jo at tempt his reformation, and if you cannot sue popiI tn fnrcul/a Mc ^ninnnnv n f nnpp Spend your leisure hours in some profitable pursuit. Do not go to the theatre, or an) place of amusement where the mind is not real ly benefitted. Don't stand at the corners o streets, or lounge in shof)s of bad repute * * * * Be kind to all your associates. Cultivate benevolent feejings. If you see distress, 01 sorrow, do all that in you lies to alleviate them When a friend or companion is confined *b) sickness make it a point to call upon him, ant bestow all the little favors possible upon hini If yon cultivate kind feelings, you will seldoir quarrel with another. It is always better t< sulfer wrong than to do wrong. We shoult never bear ofinobs, or public out breaks, i men would cultivate *the kind feelings of tin heart. What will the end be??When I see; boy angry with bis parents, disobedient an< obstinate, determined to pursue his own course to be bis master; setting at nought the expo r i j* i! - j .rience or age, ana uisregarumg uieir aumuai tions an{l reproofs, unless his c?urso of con duct is changed, I need not trouble myself t< inquire, "What will his end be?" When I notice a little girl quite fond ofdres and thereby her pride is increased ; dissatisfie< and unpleasant at times if she cannot obtaii her desires, and anxius to appear better cloth cu than circumstances will permit, her thought occupied with what others will think of he dress?unless she changes her course of con duct, I need not ask what her end will be. When I see a boy de.?ii ing the society of th wicked and depraved associating with thus who swear, lie, cheat and steal: seeking tliei company, making their friendships?I need no inquire, unless he alter his course, what hi end will be. Ho will, soon be as bad as hi companion or worse. . Hut when I seo a boy kind, affectionate res pcctful, obedient to his parents; keeping hoi. the Sabbath day; found in the sanctuary, join ing God's people in his worship; loving to pra; to him ; who is punctual at Sabbath Schoolattentive, quiet, with his lesson well cummittei to memory and repeated accurately; keepin; gcod company, forming good habits, 1 can pre diet with almost a certainty what the end o that boy will be. lie will find a "house no made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Small Beginnings.?Who does not knov the importance of trifles, so called??and win in the present day, when we have learned tha we owe our chalky clofis to insects, and tha the apparently insignificant creatures huvi gemmed the sea with islands of coral, will.fon ture to despise "small beginnings." If we look closely into life, wo shall find that in it as in nature, scarcely any event is o ftself unimportant, or incapable of being turn ed to useful account. The poet tells us that "Tliore is a tide in the affairs ofmen, "Which taken at the tlood, leads on to fortune." And this is true; but there are also unnotice< currents and shifting winds playing over th< great ocean of time, and these, if skilfully an< boldly seized, may prove as important to ou progress as the mighty flood-tide itself. Ou readers, have doubtless, long since remarked out of what slender threads the web of grea fortunes have been woven by skilful and ener getic bands, using means and seizing opportu nities which the feeble or indulont either over look or despise. 15e C.vrnocs.?The newspapers around tin country are recording deaths from sun stroki and drinking cold water while the blood is heat ed with ex ireise.

Tremendous XJEzs.il Storm. I 1 Fatal and Disastrous Effects Near the Crystal * s Palace, etc. J| t, Yesterday afternoon, between5andGo'cluck; our city was visjt$il by one Of the most lrc; mendon* hail storms that wc ever remember to* I have sceji. The wind, that during the early \ V . part of the day had-been from the nortbeaet; r suddenly veered round to the northwest, and U , then again changed to the east, bringing with Jfl } it a heavy thunder storm. The most peculiar . phenomenon was the sudden hurricane, and the' . storm, not of liail, for that would be too un? meaning a term to describe it by, but of pieces. Xfl I of ice. which came clatteiimr down ur>on the | roofs of the houses like a shower of brickbat*. ] . Extraordinary as it may appear, this is the 3 ? nearest rcseuihlunee that can lie given to the : r noise that the storm produced; but singular ;; i enough, this phenomenon was very local, not. s . extending over the whole city, for in some t, parts, the fall of hail had became modified into | rain, probably'having melted in its passage to' the earth. > In order that our readers may not suspect us ? of exaggeration, we have appended two in.' stances of what this hail storm was: The shipyard of Mr. Thos. Collyer, at thd Dry Dock, was covered with irregularly shaped pieces of ice, or large clusters of bailstonesi * j Several of them were.measured, one of whicft was 6 1 4 inches in circumference, another 7 r inches, and a third measured 3 inches long and . 2 inches thick. ' , . < ? f The inhabitants of a house in Waverly {fiaccf ? were startled by a solid body falling in the ; front yard, and oil proceeding there found a r number of pieces of ice, which appeared tor ^ have been originally one piece broken by the j fall. When to Dr. S. P. Townsend, and was not entirely 4 completed. It is also opposite the Crystal s Palace. During the storm this building, which i was two stories high, and roofed in, was over- ^ ii turned instantaneously by the hurricane, that v i- blew about five o'clock, aud levelled in a mps meat to the ground. 3 r At the time that the accident occurred there - were six men employed on the ground floor in plastering the walls, three of them as plaster- j e ers, one of whom was the boss, named vWi? e liam McCfacken, and who was killed, with two r others. There were three other laborers on t this floor. On the upper floor there were 6th-' s er workmen employed in fitting the pipes and s other similar work, the building being intended, we believe, for a saloon, and in addition to >- these there was a large number of people who F had sought temporary shelter when the storm - came on. So sudden was the accident that no y time was given for'escape, the whole building - being prostrated without even the shadow' -of 1 a warning. * ? About two o'clock in the morning a fire broke out in a bakery in the Second avenue*. I One of thw journeyman in -the establishment i t was burned to death; a family ii? the building were compelled to escape by leaping from a fourth story window, in the performance of 0 v which hazardous feat a woman was instantly j l_5ll J T ^ .1 TIT V' '^1 3 Kiueu. jusi us me steamer i\ew vroriQ was t about departing for Albany, at seven o'clock, t one of her boiler flues collapsed, causing the e death of six persons, and dreadfully -scaldihg two others. In the afternoon a hailstorm, accompanied by lightning and a violent wind, ; I, passed over the upper part of the city, during f which a new three story frame dwelling, in - process ot completion, in Forty-third street, near the Crystal Palace, was blown dowti, burying eight or ten workmen amid the ruins, three of whom were taken out lifeless. Seveu 1 others were seriously wounded, c To conclude, a man lost his life by the fall 1 of another building in Forty-tbird-street, near r the North river; a man was struck dead by a r flash of lightning, and a child was scalded to , death?making a total of fourteen persons t killed, and as many others badly injured. Many buildings were greatly damaged, and . a large number of persons injured by the storm . in Williamsburg. A telegraphic despatch from Northumberland, Pa., states that the harvests and fruit crops ? in that vicinity* were greatly damaged by the 2 hail storm yesterday afternoon. Many of the . husbandmen, it was reported, would lose their 2 entire harvests. The lumps of hail there, were r of extraordinary size, and thousands of windows were broken. Despatches from Philadelphia and Baltimore complain of the intense heat. There has been no rain in Baltimore for . a month. J t. Joseph,
