DREADFUL HURRICANE. Springfiielp, 111. June 23 1835. GentlenxeJit -A geatteman who has just reached here, from-Canton, in Fulton county, brings us information of a most disastrous hurricane having passed over that village oa the 18th inst. at 6. o'clock in the afternoon. This place contains about 35 houses, and in a few nV.nu.tes two thirds of them were levelled with the ground; only three escaped uninjufed.. Five persons were killed, one a Mc Swan, and three children. One child was killed in its mother's lap; one was. blown a quarter of a mile, and found; dead the next day shockingly mangled One store (Mr. Foster's; was blown down, and the goods scattered over the prairies. A great number of persons, were, severely injured mr. Foster it is supposed fatally. The Presbyterian church was occupied by the houseless inhabitants.

Mf Sebrees' tavern was ateo full. The ac-

count which our informant gives of the rush of

the- inhabitants to the tavern is most appalling. We have some further particulars, but have not time to write them, Half past 10 P. M. Si. Louis Herald.

TnE StassteadSomn ambcust -The Bos

ton medical & Surgical Journal states that mrs

Cass, whose remarkable case of clairvoyance

constituted some interesting papers in that

Journal, some months since, extracts of which

were copied into this Journal at the time, is

dead. Interesting particulars of the post mor

tem examination will be giveaiatae next num

ber of that periodical.

The Augusta Courier of the 15th inst. says:

44 We have heard much yesterday and this morning, about the shock of an earthquake,

said to have been telt hereon Saturday morn

ing, about three o'clock. Some assert that

they were awakened by a loud report, followed bya roaring or rumbling noise,and that the

"whole house shook. We neither heard the

one, nor felt the other. It was probably a meteoric explosion."

The General Court.--Mr. Randolph's will is still under investigation. Many depositions have been read; many witnesses examined. Two front Philadelphia were before the court ou Friday viz. mr. Badger, at whose hotel mc. Ransdolph died, and Dr. Parrish, who attended the last moments of this extraordina

ry man. The statement and appearance of

the doctor, correspond with the high celebrity which he has acquired as one of the most distinguished physicians, of Philadelphia. A member of the Society of Friends, he appeared in the court with his hat on, and expressed himself in the peculiar phraseology of his sect. We hftveheardsuchahighcharactar ofh.is.disposition, from every one who listened to it,taat we shall attempt to lay a copy of it before- our readers It is represented to be a production in, which philosophy and Eloquence vie- vath each other. The case of the wilt was not tesumed on Saturday; bat yesterday the court proceeded to examine other witnesses,. There is a crowd of testimony yet to be exhibited and the argument of coupseli will be very elaborate Among; the other members, of the bar, whom this interesting case has draw.n, to the city, is mr, Patton of Fredericksbujgb, who

will in one chasis of the Question, roinate in

the fray; and give an opportunity of witness ing those talents, which he has exhibited, on the threat re of Congress The case will occupy two weeks longer.. Rich. Enq.

1 thought proper to commence a course of

abuse against iae in the public print, without any just cause or provocation, and to the end that people may know, who and what Henry Gullion is, and that what he says I have made false statements about, is the truth, and not as he says false, I publish the following re

marks and certificates for the information of

all, 1st Henry Gullion took the liberty of butch ering and selling an, animal (commonly call

ed a bull,) that was not his own, and the peo-

pie may call it what they please.

2nd Henry Gullion, has been told to his face that he had stole old Billy Phillip's hogs, and he did not resent it but left the compa

ny in rather a hurry. 3rd Henry Gullion. took the liberty f sell

hae heretofore thought somewhat of a gen-j tleman, (God forgive me for lying,) connected with. Henry Gullion's, and now I have a word of comfort for him. Mr. Fulton will dp well

to play the game of hands off in this matter,

he has stood at the head of the band for some

lime, and may still stand there for me if he does not be found lending his name again to

the motley crew he had better set down and steady whether there might not be something said about him or his, that might create an unpleasant sensation.

about George Tosh of Pennsylvania, was true.

from th mouth of the Yellow stone river, was

entirely destroyed by fire on the 1st inst. at Heart River- about fifty miles below the vil

in descending the river, and had taken fire from the stove pipe in the ladies cabin, while the hands were exerting themselves in getting her off. All efforts to arrest their progress

proved unavailing, until the boat and cargo

ttVFis Education forms the common mind Just as thetwigisbcnt,the tree's inclined." More than half of the above work has al ready gone through the press. Its publica

tion has been delayed to wait the promised

"documentary evidence" which the "lady su

perior," and her "preliminary," in heranswer

to miss Kecd, pledged themselves to produce immediately. It is understood that the design is abandoned. Should it not have been the committee are desiious to meet all evidence

that can be produced to discredit the "narra

tive." They are also particularly desirous

to obtain copies of the Coyice's and other Di rectories, and the genuine rules of St. Augus

tine, which were in use at the Convent. These documents, which would fully confirm miss Reed, the friends of the Convent withhold from the public. The publishers are confident that the supplement, will be found equal in, interesting detail to the original narrative, and that it will be greatly superior as a sound and con-vincingdemonstrationofthedangerofCLOIS-

TER EDUCATION. An equal amount of

important facts, proofs and argnments in a popular form, have probably never been collected and arranged in so small a space in the whole history of the catholic controversy. The ob

ject is truth and argument, not abuse and in

vective.

ly vaiuanie miscellaneous volumes at a price

lax below tbeir cost or value, an. opportunity which must necessarily be of shc-tt duration,
