A Waterspout Below Quebec. The ! Iter. L. Proulx, priest of St. Eleazor, county of Beauce, writes to the Journal de Quebec a rerr graphic description of a water3pout which devastated his parish, and of which he was eye-witness. A large and dark cloud was overhanging the place on Sunday forenoon, 18th July, when a noise, as that of ths sea in a storm, gave warning of the approrch of something unusual. Soon the cloud seemed to burst, lolling fall towards the earth a long train, somewhat in the shapo of a funnel, with tho small end turned downwards. It rerolred rapidly, hissing like escaping steam, a'id swinging to and fro, and imitating the

contortions of a snakei When the small nd reached the ground, it lifted and carried away in it3 revolving impetus whatever it came in contact with. Boards, timber, tones, and portions of -houses were whirled in the air and thrown at a distance with a fearful report. Several houses wore thus razed to tho ground. One horse and three cows were drawn by the power of suction to the waterspout, and fter being raised hijjb in the air, were let gradually down; they escaped uninjured and were only covered with mud. Five carts were carried to a great height and thrown acros3 some fields into the woc ds, being smashed by tho fall. Large trees, such as maples, have been uprooted and removed a distance of five rods GaArmc Desrii tiox or Jerusalem The Jerusalem correspondent of the Boston Post graphically describes the ruin and desolate condition of the Holy City. He The women, clothed from head to foot in white sheets, with their face3 concealed by a black veil, resemble bo may ghosts just risen from their subterranean abodes; more especially as they have a great fancy for cemeteries, where they daily congregate to howl. No sound of youth there -are no boys in the street no sound of "wheels there are no carriages. The dogs, mangy and wolfish, snarl and snap when you disturb them in their daily work as scavengers, and make the livelong night hideous with their contentonstha very birds do not sing, but cry to each other with a dissonant chirp, or complain with a harsh murmur. From the horrors of the city, if we pass to the environs, ivo find naught but bare rocks around stones and dust beneath the bright sun, reflected from every object, burns into the brain no grass, no trees, no green thing the promenades are cemeteries the eat3 are whited sepulchers. Here have been buried whole generations of Jews; here are the bone3ofthe Assyrian, ilia Egyptian, the Chaldean, the Persian, Greek, the Syrian, the Roman, the Saracen, the Crusader, ike Turk. In fine. Jerusalem is naught but a "heap" of mouldering boaes and shattered houses. The Greatest Natural Bridge is the "World. The Abingdon Virginian contradicts the statement recently published, that "tho greatest natural bridge in the world is thatover Cedar Creek, in Virginia. It extends across a chasm CO feet in width and 250 feet deep, at the bottom of which a croek flows." The Mrginian says: The writer is mistaken, not as to the dim ensions of the bridsre. but as to the fact of its lx.?ng tho "greatest natural bridge in world." There is a natural bridge within 52 miles of this place, in Scott county, Va , compared with which the bridge over Cedar Creek is a mere circumstance. The Scott bridge extends across a chasm more than twico CO feet in width, asd is over 420 feet ueep, at the bottom ol which flows a much larger and more rapid stream than Cedar Creek. The arch of the Scott bridge is not so perfectly formed a3 that of Cedar tJreek, but it is not less a bridge, with a broad wa-ron-rord located upon it. The survey for the Cumberland Gap railroad passed through the arcft of this bridge. It is, perhaps, the wildest and most stupend ous natural curiosity in the United Slates, and yet it is comparatively unknown. iS " Minnesota Constitutional Convention. -The re;nilar constitutional convention of Minnesota organized on the 31st ult, and is proceeding with its work. The bogus convention is also preparing a "constitution." A St. Paul corrsepondent of the N. Y. Herald says "it was generally believed that there would be no essential difference in the two. The question that is to be prominently put before the people, when the constitutions are submitted for ratification, i3 with regard to the regularity of the first day's proceedings of the members; and in this respect it is assumed that the democrats are sustained both by parlimentary law and usage in such cases." 37"Recent experiments prove that a frequent cause of synut in wheat is the heating of the seed in the mow. One who has tried it recommends to let the wheat stand until quite ripe before cutting, and then put it on a scaffold until fully cured. The wheat raised from seed thus treated was not injured by smut. Troops tor Minnesota. Lient Col. Martin Burke, received ordert to proceed to Fort SnelHng, Minnesota, to take command of the corrpanies of his regiment, the 2d Artillery, (.'neofthe four companies of his command left Fort Hamilton yesterday for Fort Snelling via the Erie Railroad. A third "company from Fort Bnidy, Mich., and a fourth from Fort Mackinac, Mich,, will soon be concentrated at Fort Snelling. This detachment Is sent out to prevent Indian disturbances in Minnesota. y. Y. Jour. Corn., Thursday. Tub Grsat Eastern. It is Tumored tho Great Eastern will bring out, on her first trip, a3 "one item' five thousand emigrants at 5 per head. A marriago was solemnized in a back county in Missouri last week, by a clergy man who sat on the fence ot his farm, while the couplo were on horseback, side by side. Artcsiax Well os Prairies. A ran tie man, Trhoso statement may be relied upon, writing from Iroquois county, says: 'Threa Artesian wells have, succeeded admirably in this county. 1 The water rises over the top, and runs off in a fine stream r Tho opninion is quite prevalent hero new that good wells of this kind may be aecared any where iu our prairies, at an expense of 01,50 per foot and at this level they will not have to sink them more than 15 fat

A "Hard Shell." A hard-shell baptist minister down South, recently commenced his discourse as follows: "Breethren, I'm gwine to preach a very plain sermen to-day one that every woman can understand from the text:"

An now I beseech thee, lady, that we love one another." "Them ara the words you.ll find in the one-eyed chapter of tho two-eyed John." It was some time before the audience nerf jived that he meant II John, chapter "I understand you are now in da milk businness, Bones." "Yes, Sam," paid he, "Pse now in de milkbisness fu3 rate bisr e-s pays well." "Glad to hear it, B nos." "But a feller met mö de udder day, and says he, Bones, you orier shinjrle dem cows ob youm." Shingle your cows! Why, wot in de world did he ax you to shingle da cows for!' Bones took a long breath, and casting a sly glance at Sam, replied: "To leep de waiter from running in de mitt'" gang of counterfeiters and -bad characters of different kinds has been discovered in Rush, Henry,Bartholomew, Decaiur and Delaware counties, and numerous arrests of pirties who have held fair standing in tho community have been made. "When a fellow is too lazy to work," says Sam Slick, "he paints his name over the door, and calls it a tavern or grocery, and makes the whole neighborhood a3 lazy as himself." In Oregon, Gen. Joseph Lane, the Democratic candidate for Congress, heat his Republican competitor by 2,000 majority. The Legislature stands: 5 Democrats, 4 Republicans in the council; 21 Democrats, and 9 Republicans in the House of Representatives.
