A peculiar storm lately passed over Parke countt', Indiana, which is thus described b3' a correspondent of the World : It appeared to enter or originate in or above the southwest corner of the county- It seemed to pass over by skips or jumps destroying everj'- thiug it met where it touched the ground, making a track (where it made any at all) varying from fifteen to forty rods wide. ; It snapped off the largest oaks and rolled them be fore it like a flood. It twisted off wet cornstalks and carried them up in the whirl and deposited them near a mile from the cornhills. Many heavy logs were rolled out of their beds, and in some instances were removed several rods. Fences, including the bottom i ails, were carried away. This was about the south centre of the county. A train of cars on the Evansville and Crawfordsville railroad wa obliged to stop, tind if it had stopped a quar ter of a mile farther south it would have fared as did the trees and logs. In the northwest part of the county cornstalks and weeds were carried up so high and far that when , they fell they were covered with ice about an inch in thickness. In the extreme north part of the county, where I hap pened to be at the tame, it was more felt and heard than seen. It came up suddenly, and appeared to be coming directly towards us, with a most awe inspiring roar, as though it was crush- j ing everything in its path. It became suddenly so dark that it Was impos sible to correctly read the surveyor's transit (I was surveying land), and the needle seemed to be violently af fected, as if a magnet were playing about it. - The wind came in dashes from divers directions, and with the power of suddenness of so many dis tant magazine explosions., liiiu little rain fell there, and the body of the storln passed to the southeast of us. The passengers on the railroad train ' before mentioned saw. in the heart of the storm what they at first 'mistook for a column of smoke from a, Durn- inc building, with occasional streaks orflashes ot fire. ' It seemed to shoot up in spurts or dashes like 6team and smoke from a locomotive ; but as the cars began moving they could not see it distinctly." - ' The Fayetteville Statesman, Re publican, has the following on "I he Uallant Uordon :" - " That superb soldier and elegant gentleman, Gen. J. li.

Reports from Texas come better and better. The crops injured by the cold snap in March have been replanted, svnd though a little laU, they are promis ing well,- andhe fruit crop jp-j'Mbe far from a failure. Peaches wille generally scarce, but in some locali ties there is a pretty fair sprinkling of apples. In Mississippi there has been a little too much rain along the coast. The Mobile Register has no words of complaint from the central regions, I but in the upper portions of the State the caterpillar (we have not learned what species) is-doing considerable damage. The Louisville 'Banner, of the 10th, saj-s ; " We are informed by farmers from different portions of the country that both the corn and cotton crops are doing very well. The corn, however, is troubled a little by the bud worm, but the cotton is do ing very well. ' V ; In the upper part of Alabama State J the rains have not been so heavy as along the coast, and the crops are doing reasonably well. The Lafay ette Clipper of tbe 15th says : "From many orchards which we have seen and others from which we have heard, we estimate the peach crop for this year as a very lull one, aespite me continued cold weather and late lrost, As a general thing the germs of the fruit were at a 6tage that did not al low of much damage." The Tallahassee Iloridian says : The crops f this count3, as far as we have been able to gather, are in fine condition, and promise an abundant yield with anything like a favorable season. Corn looks fresh and green, and is growing finely, while cotton has a good stand and is now starting off with a vigorous growth. Lverjv thiug is well advanced, the freedmen are working faithfully, the ' farmers are in good spirits and so are we.

The late gentle rains4i ave'eaused this result, and te young 'plants look vigorous and health ly. Corn is also doing well, and has recently taken a start to grow. .The wheat is heading out, and what little there is seems to be doing very well. About Greensboro, Ga.,-coin and cotton crops are good, although a lit tle backward. But little wheat sown, aud but little, will be made ; the oat crop is late and not'verj promising ; the gardens and truck patches, con sidering the late frostj are very fine.

Russian Paper and .Printing - The specimens of paper and printing exhibited by Russian, manufacturers in the last London international ex hibition are set down as greatly supe rior toy anything furnished by other countries, even the English paper makers acknowledging themselves completely surpassed both in the va riet37. and beauty of the product. The Russian paper is especially re markable in these respects, and that at the same time is from l(Tto 11 per cent, stronger than the paper made by the English. In what isknownas commercial printing, the Russians are also for ahead, the, style of theirwork exceed '-t r-nything ever attempted by the 1..-. ' i.sh printers. In chromo lithograph the contributions of a St. Our friend Bonitz, of the Goldsboro Messenger, accompanied the recent excursion of the Baptist . Sunday School of Goldsboro to C&rey, and sojourned for some little timeJn this city. He writes about us as follows : "As short as our stay was in Ral eigh we had the pleasure of meeting many warm friends. We made a short visit to the Institution of the Deaf, Dumb .fuiifc-JJUnd,' nv under tt charge of our worthy mend, Jofu Nichols, Esq., and are greath' indebt cd to him for kindness shown us. It affords us pleasure to be able to state that this institution is in a most ex- cellept condition and continues to be a credit to the old North State. Mr. ichols tells us that he has 80 deaf and dumb and 50 blind scholars. We were entertained with music, song ana reading by the bund, and with the usual school exercises by the deaf- mutes, all 01 which we found quite in teresting; There is also a branch of this institution in Raleigh for colored people, and Mr. dS ichols informs us that 40 deaf and dumb and 20 blind are there being cared for. Leaving the Institution of the blind we soon found ourselves the recipient of Dr. Grissom's kind attention at the Insane As3-lum.: There are here 240 of the unfortunates. The As3'lum is tiled to its utmost capacity, and Dr, Grissom tells us that he has now near ly- 200 applications on file. It is piti ful tobehold the aspect of the inmates, but it aflorded us pleasure to see them well provided and cared for. We met our friend and townsman, Dr. W.

MM. Partington's Baylngs. "Serum there !"taid the physician, who was called to see Mrs. Parting, ton's neighbor Shoar, who was ill with a swollen foot. The doctor drummed upon it gently with his two forefingers as he spoke, and repeated the remark: . " Serum there t" "I think so," replied Mrs. Parting ton, in subdued tones .

Si .miilar Fact. A very interest ing fact in connection with this ques tion of non-fertilized germs has been reported to me again and "gain by intelligent farmers from tl SUM Board of Agriculture, but I have" no other proof of it than 'their state ments.

I seemed to be at peace with everything, and perfectly happy. Aty whole life passed before me like a flash of lightning, the most prominent appearing to be indelibly impressed upon my mind. Circumstances I had forgotten appeared vividly, and I did not want to be disturbed. I should havepreferred to remain where I was. hue in the midst of a beatific rev erie, thinking what my wile would do if she were saved and I were drown ed, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I was pulled out and placed on a rock. I was almost insensible, but gradually came to myself. Oh, how sick and wretched I felt. I was greatly aston ished at the number of events -that passed through my mind while under the water. .Nothing that occurred during childhood was evident, but ev erything since I was about nineteen years old appeared before me as if photographed. The sensation lex- perienced while the water was going down my throat was not unpleasant. It seemed as if I was going ou a jour ney, and was surrounded by all kinds of beautiful things." It thus appears that death by drown ing is by no means painful ; on the contrary, rather a delightful experi ence. - - Thei renort of Mr. Scudamore. the jfirecior 01 iroswu ieiegrapiis in Great Britain, contains a romance of the most original description. Alter saying how successfully he has found the system of emplo ing the male and female clerks together, and how much the tone of the men has been raised by the association, and how well the women perform the checking or fault finding branches of the work, he goes on to speak of friendships formed between clerks at either end of a telegraph wire. Tbey begin by chatting in the intervals of their work, and very soon become fast friends. " It is a fact,", continues Air. bcuda more, " that a telegraph clerk in Lon don who was engaged on a wire to Berlin, formed an acquaintance with and an attachmeut for " mark the official style of the language--" a fe male clerk who worked on tha same wire in Berlin ; that he made a pro posal of marriage to her, and that she accepted him without having ever seen him. They were married, and the marriage, which resulted from the electric afliuities, is supposed to have turned out as well as those in which the senses are more apparently con cerned."

The Biblical Recorder, whose Edi tor was a delegate to the Baptist Con vention at Mobile, has the following on " A Mistake in Moving :" " We found Mr. D. S. Richardson, late of Wilson, in Mobile, and Col. S. L. Arlington, formerly of Nash, in Montgomery. In the same place were Dr. Howard and family, of Caswell, and Capt. Crudup Howard, of Gran ville. . They are all doing well in their adopted homes; but it was very plain that all would have been happier if they were settled in their former places of abode. The more we travel the more we are convinced that the people of our State have reason to be grateful that xe have a better gov ernment, a healthier climate, and a more prosperous country than can be found in any other spot oft the earth. The proof of this is 6een in the fact that soTnany of those who leave find no refct till they return, and many others would return if they could only raise the money." - - A good story is told of old Johnny McGill, who resided during the war iii East Tennessee. Guerrillas repre senting both parties kept it so warm in that forsaken region that it was dansrerous to belong to either side At last McGill was overtaken by a party whoe politics he could not even -uess at, find the following dialogue ensued : "Sir, are you a Union man ?"

The Republican party has always been recognized as the friend of tbe labor ing man, and it is an essential princi-1 pie of Republicanism to elevate and improve the condition pi the masses. Our political opponents recognize this principle in their opposition to our onward progress. . Iliey organize against us and fight us, because w are the friends of the poor ; and seek at all times and under all circumstan ces, to bear down upon ana Keep in degradation the laboring classes be ing willing to receive their political support, but having no desire other than to use them (or uieir own par- poses.

Especially has this been so in the Southern States ; and the few years since the overthrow of the rebellion have witnessed toe enfran chisement aud elevation of the colored race to the privileges of citizenship. Nor has the reform stopped here. The poorer, classes of the whites, those who have been eruBlied under tbe neel o? aristocracy, have been taken by the hand and encouraged, the result being a gradual but certain improvement in their condition. All this has been ac complished by th Republican party, which, we trust, has. but Just com menced its work of reforming the country. It is the best "labor-reform" party in existence, or that can 1 or ganized ; ami when wo see men leav ing the party and professing to Iks noihing more than la!

"Any which?" "Epis copalians." "Episcopalians! Wall, we don't exactly know. My John- he's my son ho sec somethin' out'n the corn-field yesterday. He didn't really know what it was, but I told him I guessed it was a chiptnonk. But now you 8ek on't, I'll bet it was an Episkerpalium. And my next neighbor, Farmer Hawkins, he said ho shot at somethin' that same day' that John seen his strange critur, and Farmer Hawkins he thought it was some wild critur thai, hud got out of some matmgery somewhere.

During the process of churning a certain uniformity of tern ierature in list be observed, or the but ter will be soft and spongy instead of being firm and compact. The agita tion, ulno, of the cream must be regu lar neither too quick nor too slow. If the agitation is too quick the but ter will make and unmake ittrlf l fore the churner is aware of it, as too rapid motion induces fermentations which, when it has reached a certain . point, is entirely destructive of any thing like tbe possibility of making even moderate!' good or well-tasting butter, it, on the other hand, tho motion be too slow, tbe agitators in the churn fail to produce the desired separation of the component parts of tho cream, and the consequence ia, that after a good deal of time spent in alow action the churner is Just as far from his butter as ho was at tho beginning of his labors. The best temperature for the cream in churn ing is from fifty to sixty degrees. Failure in Declamation. Boys at school, or young men ia college, need not despair of success as orator becauso declamation is dread task. Demosthenes, the grcaUst orator of Greece, failed utterly, when he first He won ; distinction by perserranco and Indomitable energy. Daniel Webster, the most eminent orator of New England, could never declaim at school. All bis attempts were failures. ; He says of himself, "Many a piece did I commit to mem ory and rehearse in my own room over and over again ; but when tho school collected and my name was called j when I saw all eyes turned on my seat, I could not rise from it. Sometimes the masters frowned, some times tliey pmild." Necessity and an iron will can con quer timidity and all other obstacles, as completely aa in Mr. Webster's experience.
