Fearlul Cyclone.
The storm of Tuesday, of which' we
appeared to be upon the verge, was
learful in its force and terrible in its
devastation. It seems to have been
confined inainlv, so far as we have rev
ceived information, to those counties
lying on or near the South Carolina
line, and to havo been terrible in that
Slate-as well as in our own. Telegraph
wires arc dowu in many places and the
news comes in slowly, but every fresh
intelligence add3 greater horror to the
dire disasters.
A gentleman who arrived in the city
this morning from Rockingham says
that the work of death and de
strtuclion at that place was truly ap
palling. There were eighteen persons
killed outright, 1 of whom were white
and 14 colored. Besides these, there arc
about forty wounded, many of whom
will die from the fearful injuries receiv
cd. Dead horses, dogs, hogs , sheep and
cattle could be seen in almost every
dirction. Kvcry building, tree, fence or
shrub in the track of the storm wss
cither blown down or torn np by the
fury of the wind. The rum was com
plete. Yesterday thoso who escaped
harm were working from morning unti
night in' bringing in and caring for the
wounded and in interring tho dead.
I here was no distinction in kcolor or
sex. but all who could worked faith"
fully in behalf of suffering and helpless
humanity In the Court House, where
many ot tho wouDdcd were conveyed
the scene was pitiable and the town
was a place of mourning. Parents had
lost their children and children had be
come in a moment orphans, and among
the wounded were those who had but a
few short hours to live, and to whom
death would have been a sweet relief,
so intense were their sufferings.
At Polkton the damage to property
was very severe, although we have
heard of but one fatal accident at that
place, which was that of a colored man.
who was blown into the fork of a tree,
where he was found dead. The de
struction of property, however, was
fearful, estimated by many at fully
$50,000. ,
There were other places in tho track
of the storm that suffered more or less,
but none of which we have heard were
damaged as were the two we have
named. At Chester, S. C, the storm
of wind and hail was very severe. The
roofs of the bank and many of the
stores were blown off, and the Catawba
Oil Mill, Baptist and Presbyterian

The people of Point Caswell had a
good time on St. Valentine's night,
(the 14th inst) at a social gathering for
the purpose of raising funds with which
to pay for the organ of the Presbyterian
church of that place. It was a' success
ful affair as was demonstrated by the
fact that the receipts exceeded the re
quirements, and after paying for the
organ there will remain a balance in
the treasury There were refreshments
in abundance and the tables were pre
sided over by Mrs. R. P. Paddison, to suit ail.
Mrs. J. N. Henry, Mrs. J. G. Parker,
Mrs. G. F. Lucas, and Mrs. J. L.
Watson with much grace. Vocal and
instrumental music, under the skillful
direction ol Mrs. J. R. Paddison, did
much to entrance thc pleasures of thc
occasion, and added to this were quite
a number of charades and dialogues
given which reflected credit upon those
who took parts therein as well as upon
the teacher whose tireless patience had
fitted them to act go well their parts. The
entire 1 programme was successfully
carried out and elicited the warmest
commendations of the throng of visitors
present.
