Last night a severe storm of wind, rain and lightning prevailed in this city and vicinity. Although no very serious destruction of property took place, yet trees were blown down, liinbsj scattered and boxes, &c, hue tied a! out the streets at a lively rate. The storm set in rather suddenly, coming from the northwest. Along the line of the North Carolina Rail road and in the north western part of the State into Virgina it appears to have been terrific. It is estimated that the wind in this vicinity was at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and, in some sections it ran up to sixty. The fall of rain was quite heavy. Died. Ernest, infant son of Mr. Joseph B., and Mrs. Kate L. Bogan, died at the residence of its parents on North Salisbury street last night at 8 o'clock.

Railroad Rates. J. T. Patrick, Esq., has received a dispatch from R D Carpenter, Kail road Commissioner, Richmond, Va.. giving the following party rates for 'lie delegation to Washington, D C Ten to fourteen persons inclusive ou one ticket, $8:40 each. Fifteen to twen ty five persons Inclusive $7;iO each. Twenty six persons and over $6:80 each. These are way rates and apply in either direction. Hardware, &c. Was it An Earthquake ? Last night just before the storm burst forth in all its fnry. a loud rum bling noise was heard in the north west. This was similar to the noise that was heard at the time of the great earthquake several years since, and subsequent events strengthen the belief that we had an other touch of it last night A gen tleman of the strictest veracity as sures ub that he was in the post office building when the storm approaclied, and that the trembling of the build ing was distinctly felt. That this should have occurred from the wind, is hardly possible, the building being of rock. The rumbling sounds were heard by a great many, and the general verdict seems to be that the storm was accompanied by a shock. It may possibly be deter mined later. Storm on the Railroad. The train which left Charlotte last night at 6.80 and was due at Greens boro at 10:30 was detained until about 2 a. m., by a storm which crossed the track just ahead of the train about ten miles north of Salisbury. The telegraph p les and wires were thrown upon the track for about a mile which took several hours to clear away. We have no information relative to the work of the storm on the country in its track, but it must have been destructive. Put Your Mark on These. Every day some one comes in and tell us of the probabilities of us dip ping in to somebodies trade when we move on Main street, and what some merchants and their clerks say about us and our probable efforts to take their trade. Now, to settle all of this surmising we will say we shall not make any effort to get any one's trade from them. We are making every legiti mate effort now to increase our busi ness and we shall do no more when we move on Faye' teville street. We are on good terms with all the mers chants on Fayetteville treet and have no desire to be otherwise How ever, if any merchant on Fayetteville street has any customers who really belong to them, ( y reason of credit) if they will mark them so we may know who they are, we will not sell them. They can be marked by put ting a label on their backs or fore heads or by clipping the ears. When we see thete private marks on such persons, we will quickly ask them to retire. Some have commented on what kind of stock we will carry for the benefit of those. We will say we will carry a stock to suit the people regardless of what that may be. The masses of the people are the ones we want to please and we are going to do that to our full ability, and we shall let other ptopl ' business se ver e'y alone. Yours truly, D. T. Swindell.
