Xkw Oiu.kass, April 'Jo. ? A special friti
West Point, Miss , slates that two cyclones passed
over Clay County on Suuday ; one nbont
noon passed over ltie western part of the county.
and the other about 1 o'clock over the control
nud southern part. Both were tcrrifio,
levelling houses, fences and trees and spreading
death and destruction in their paths.
Near Ifohenlinden 'hirly persons \v re reported
to have been killed, and near Pine Bluff
seventeen fatalities were rep' rted. A number
of persons were killed in different parts of the
no^ 1? I I
Werf Point the courthouse and law buildings,
Central Hotel nnd several stores were unroofed.
A deed was found in the country thnt had been
carried fifty inilcs by the winds. The attlictcd
and distressed arc being cared for by the more
fortunate. No estimate of the loss to property
can-yct be made. It was intended to start the
mill at Wesson yesterday, but the hands eould
not be got together. The following is a list of

outright and eight or ten others were injured.
A number of residences nnd stores were levelled
with the ground. John W. Crawford, his
wife, and daughter nnd grandchild, and servant,

three hundred yards, and all of the family was
so crushed and mulilntcd as to be hardly recog
nizablc, presenting a terrible appearance. The
children of John Bcnsly and those of Mrs. Ryan
were instantly killed, as were also three grown
daughters of Mrs. Fowles. Mrs. Fowles was carried
150yards ny the forccof the windaudenught

night, and before the. family were aroused
the building was lifted by .the waters and started
down the stream, bearing all the inmate's,
naBiely, iloop, his wife and three children and
a negro servant. Tlte house finally struck a
snag and went to pieces. As a flash, of lightning
lit up the scene iloop saw his family sink.

away from the railroads and telegraph
report the storm as destructive to life and property.
In Lincoln County, near Anderson's

?The board of Trustees of the fund of $1,000,000
given by the late John P. Slater of Norwich,
Conn., to be devoted to the education of colored
children at theSouth, met yesterday in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel and decided on a plan by which
the fund should be administered for the ensuing
year.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that for
the present schools which give instruction in
trades and other manual occupations which will
enable colored youth to make a living and become
useful citizens will be carefully sought and
preferred! in appropriations from the fund.?

A Ctci.onk in Tkxas. ? Galveston, Texas, April
zy?A Mineral Wells special says : On Fridaj
evenings cyclone from (lit. northwest struck the
town of Palo l'inlo, demolishing small buildings
and unroofing more substantial ones. Several
persons were seriously injured, but none arc
known to be fatally hurt. Loss $'28,000.
A special from llenton,1 dated 27th instant,
says: At 4 o'clock this af'crnoon a terrific
storm swept over the country four milc3 north
of this place, tearing down louses and demolishing
everything in its path. Four persons
are reported killed at Kmery's farm. Of seven
persons who t:ok refuge in a church two were
killed and four cannot be found. It is feared
the loss of life is greater than is known at present.
The damage at present is very great.
' Maiionk ani> tiik virginia republicans.?
Washington. April 27.?Virginia Republicans
nre kicking against "Boss" Mahonc's rule. II
seems that in Norfolk County they held a convention
a few days ago and nominated County
officers. Mnlione went down thcr- ,.tid forced
all the Federal officials who ha-* aken part in
the convention to repudiate it -nd help get up
a Ilendjustcr ticket. He threatened to have
them all bounced out of office if they did not
obey him. In fact, lie did get five of tliem discharged.
Ho also levied an assessment of 2 per
cent, on the salaries of foremen and clerks of the
navy yard at Norfolk, nn<r compelled the laborers
to give up one day's pay for politicial purposes.
The civil service law does not seem to
have any terrors for Mr. Mahone.

it would bo near enough to town for the Oil mill, Ri

A Confederate Soldier in Distress. j
It is not probably known to many in this vi- gj
cinity that a wounded end worthy confederate iE
soldier, living a mile or two from here, is lying p,
very sick with consumption and his family are f?
in great distress. His wife is also unable to _
work from a cancer in her ankle, and thoir two
little children?the oldest a girl anout fifteen
years?are all their dependence. When able to ?
work the man was a steady sober and industri- et
ous man, but he cannot work now. We think y<
it is only necessary to mention the case to secure at
the assistance of our citizens. The Ladies of the tl

vclve dollars which had just been paid to the
oy: "After robbing his victim he threw the
id eight times into the river, but the boy swam
nek (o the shore. After thus amusing himself
c tied the boy, heat out his brains with a stone
nd nci.ln threw him in the rivar. A man r.n
lie opposite shore witnessed the murder, but
ic river was too wide for him to make his presuce
known A description of the negro was sent

large crowd of workmen employed on the rivr
improvements, visited the jail and demanded
he prisoner. Owing to the delicate condition
f the jailor's wifo at the time, the mob was peruaded
to disperse. All this occurred on *20th,

Mad Dogs at Davidson College. j 1
Last Suuday night the quietness cf ibe college | ''?.
id town was stirred from its wonted tranquil- j j|n
y by a mad-dog comiug through the street** | urn
iting every thing that fell in his way. It fel^
poor Jack's lot?a little black dog of tho ?jl
it Terrier family, although of no recorded peu' |cv
;reo but nevertheless beloved by all the campass, the
r whom he was tho common property?to be his hoi
ietim. After the Bedlam of oonfusion whioh ^j1
natural to college boys in any stirring thing ooc
tat comes along, order was so fur restored as ref
i try to arrive at some conclusion as to what
ust be done with poor Jack's oase. "The dog
an 'of the college was called on to examine fa(
ick and see whether ho was bitten or not. A O'i
ible was brought out of a room and a lamp dif
lacod on it. A breathless silenco hovered over rBI
dUi
ie many faces that surrounded the table while nCj
te "dog man" with thickly gloved hands pro' tal
soded to examine Poor Jack. Then came the >n8
lilt
id verdict, that Jack must die. ^
The temporarily lulled oonfusion again rose jjy'
i its height, as to how ho must bo killod. Some tro
dd that the military company ought to be called
it next day and kill Jack with full military
onors, as a mark of esteem, even if ho did get Po
t bad company. All were agreed in tho senti- ^?'
icnt of respcot, but the qdestion sprung up> ^
suppose he was allowed to run loose until next fQr
ay, he might bite oue of tho boys and he for
light bite some othor boy, and the wholo might
i>* mad." So it was'decided to kill Jack right
Oue fellow held the lantern while the other
did the shouting. By tho dog moving his head ,
a little the bullet missed its mark onlv wonndinw i

hiin in the jaw. Maddened by tho pain Jack i
made for the Chapel (lie was a church going J
dog any way) frothing at the mouth and yelping
at every jump. lie bounded through the door, t
The scene that followed beggars description.? 1
The ladies sprung upon and balanced themselves ^
on the tops of the benches with a quickness and
agility which has made the gyinnnsts of the J
college so much ashamed of themselves, that 1
they only go out now at night to practice on the v
bars. Ouo boy brought out two girls, aud I only r
give him special notice on that nccount. lie 1
darted up one of the colums that supports the c
gallery and left his two fair companions down
amongst the hubbub. Says he only went up s
there to see which way the dog was going. No i
reflection is intcudcd hero on the gentleman's r
statemeut as to whether ho really possessed this
great presenco of mind, but only the suggestion
that a man possessed with such gifts should not ,
be contented with a private sphere in life, where (
his talents arc obscured, but join a fire company- (
The wildest confusion reigned supreme. 1
Screams. Dances, when the dog started from < ue
aisle to another with a score of boys pounding
at him with sticks and every thing that could be
converted into a weapon of offense or defense.
Dr. Latimer, sitting on top of tho pulpit with
his feet in the air at an angle of about 50 degrees*
did all he could to compose and quiet his congregation?tailing
them to "just be quiet, the
dog would soon be killed," ulthough he did not
lower Iqs feet an inch. Ono of the boys did an
heroic deed, lleing about C feet 4- inches, a fam"
ily sitting in the next scat, consisting of a mother
and 0 children, concluded that ho would be a
safe retreat, so they seized him around the neck?
all that could get up to it?and clung there i
screaming until the dog was killed. It was a 1
eight that- would have raado any young tragedian
turn green with envy to see how nobly he acted
and how he tremblingly comforted those little horror
stricken girls, nged respectively from 6 to 14 1
years, clinging around his neck, lie says that |
he didu't mind it at all. Tall boys havo run |
up 50 per cent, ia value since. The dog wa8 i
finally pounded to a jolly and thrown out of the '
window. Dr. Latimer crawled down from off
tho pulpit and continued the services.

A FatoiiTFUi, Accioknt.?A frightful accident
occurred yesterday evening just about dark, at
the point where the Northeastern Railroad crosses
Magnolia aveuue, which resulted in the i
wounding of three men, one of whom, it is
thought, is fatally injured. I> appears that U.
Rubin and John Kamnitzky, two butchers, and
a colored man were driving in a one-horse
wagon up Magnolia avenue towards the rail
road track. When they reached the neighborh
<od of the track they heard a train coming,
and they attempted to hold in their horse, but <
the aninmal became frightened aud dashed for- '
ward ou the track and then gave a suddeu lurch (
which threw the three men directly on the pilot {
of the loooaolive of the passing train. Mr. 1
Rubin fell several yards off on the side of tbo
road with a brokon arm. Mr. Kamnitzky fell (
under the engine and had both legs crushed, i
and the colored man was# dashed off several 1
yards and was stunned, but was otherwise un- '
hurt. The horse ran off with the wagon, and up ,
to a late hour l&st night had not been heard of. i
The train stopped, and Mr. Rubin came down 1
in it to procure assistance to bring Kamnitzky 1
to the city. (
Rubin was found to have sustains! only a <
fracture of the arm. Kamnitzky, who is a roan
of sixty-three years of age, was found to be ,
fearfully mangled in one leg and the other foot.
Ills leg nnd three toes of the crushed foot were
amputated late Inst night, but considering the
advanced age of the patient there is small hope
that ho will survive his injuries.
So far as the railway company is concerned, '
there appears to have been no negligence or
carelessness on its part. The flagman was pres- ,
ent and warned the men back, but the horse
became unmanageable as above described, and
the men were hurled upon the advancing engine
before they had time to escape. The accident,
however, which is only one of a long and
bloody series at this very point, only demonstrates
the necessity for a change in the mode of
crossing this net-work of thoroughfares by tho
