The Way They Serenade Radicals. Special Correspondence of the Sun. Timmonsville is p. small village situated on the line of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. In this little vil lage you can find some as true and as hos pitable gentlemen as we have in our State. Radicalism is a subject that is very dis tasteful to all of them. If there i3a white Radical residing there, I am not aware of of it. The younger portion of the popula tion has supplied themselves with small hern.-, and as soon as a Radical makes his appearance in this town, the first one of the "tin horn'' company that sights him blows his horn and the company immedi ately assembles to serenade their visitors with tin pans, cow bells and almost any thing i that can make a noise. 'A Mr. Lockjiart, the white nominee for County Commissioner was serenaded not long ago, and he was not very well pleased with his reception, pulledhisknife and wentfor some of the boys, but did not do much damage fortunately. , ft. OK THE STORY OF THE STOR.M. Tremendous Damages in Philadelphia. rhiladctyJda Timet, 24, Shortened. Hugh masses of timber partly covered with roof-tin, three newly fitted Pullman cars.'with their tops badly damaged, and eighteen other passenger and freight cars with smashed roofs, smashed chairs and smashed platforms were among the debris at the Pennsylvania Railroad depot at Thirty-second and Market streess. The storm seized the outgoing shed, demolish ing it entirely. Ten passengers and fifteen employes were on the platform at the time, but all managed to escape uninjured with the exception of a fireman, who was slight ly hurt. The shed, which was handsomely built, was located in the rear of the depot and was 70 feet in width and 800 feet in length. The damage to it alone will amount to $12,500. Twenty-one cars were in the .depot at the time of the accident The damage to them amounts to $11,500, mak ing a total loss of $24,000. This is inde pendent of the telegraph wires, which were broken down in large numbers. We skip much of .the Times1 elaborate report, and proceed : PUBLIC BUILDINGS, HOSPITALS, ETC. About half of the roof of the Wagner Institute, Seventeenth and Montgomery avenue, was carried away. , ' Odd Fellows Hall, Thirty -seventh and Market street, aud Engine House No. 5, JPaid Fire Department, Thirty-seventh and Ludlow streets, aud Warren School House, Thirty-eighth and, Spruce streets, and the Central Market House, Haverford and Union street, were partly unroofed. ' The entire roof of the Morgue, Beach and rsoble streets, was torn off. The entire front of the North Delaware Avenue Market House, a brick building, was blown down, and half of tha roof was torn off and hurled against a five-story brick row on the opposite side of Water street, damaging the wall. 1 hjgtm roof of St. Josephs Orphan Asylum was entirely taken off. The large depot of the Philadelphia, v llmmsrtou and Baltimore Railroad at Washington avenue wharf was demolished, and the southern side of the Pennsylvania gram elevator, m the immediate vicinity was blown in. The ferry house and slip of the Reading Railroad, above South street, were demol ished. THE PUBLIC SQUARES. . In Washington Square seventeen of the most valuable trees were blown down. The railings on Walnut street side were torn down, the benches, stools and lamps mash ed to pieces and carried away in the flood. Independence Square is minus a round house, seven beautiful tcees, about fifty seats and a dozen ramps. Fairfield Square having but few trees lost few, though the round-house wa3 deprived of - its roof and the benches and stools carried away. Ten trees in the Jefferson Square were carried away in , halves, the round-house lost its door and the lamps were badly broken There arei no seats ot benches left in Logan Square.. Old trees that have, stood the wildest of storms were torn up . in shreds, and the squaro flooded to a great extent In Rittenhouse Square twelve trees were carried away, and what was left of the benches and stools is scattered around the square. THE PEBMAKEXT EXHIBITION AND PARK. The same puff that unroofed the Trans- Continental Hotel and dwellings along Girard avenue and Elm aTenue drove in some of the lower windows, several with sash and all, at the Permanent Exhibition Bnilding, ripped off the tin root in about half a dozen places, principally on the eastern end, letting in the rain and sending flvinjr the trophy containing the medallion head of America and the coats-of-anna sur mount in :r the roof over the entrance at the west end. iThis went down to the sidewalk, a distorted" mass ofsplinters and tin. The crash hurried the ianitors and fruards to the eastern end. whera the storm was j beating in the loose portions of the roof, shrieking like creatures in agony. One OCTOBER 26, 1878. huge sheet of tin sailed away one hundred feet eastward, tearing a cedar tree to splin ters. None of the exhibits were damaged in the least and tarpaulins soon covered the cases under the damaged roof. CHURCHES.

Part ot Mai. John W. Moore's circular : The undersigned has been publishing for more than a year back, a work entitled "Historical Sketches of Hertford'county." It has been seen that this narrative con tained much of the history of North Caro lina since 1776. The frequent commenda tions of various journals and eminent citi- zens, nave maucea tne autnor to greatiy enlarge the original scope of his undertak ing, and a history of North Carolina is the result. Ino important man or event irom 1584 to 1876 will be omitted. The author flatters, himself that, a new interest and understanding will be found in the narra tion of colonial times. Elaborate exam ination and port royal of men and events with full citation of authorities! as to every period of our annals has ' been long needed and called for in the btate. Ltr. Hawks did not bring his work to a period later than 1729. Col. Wheeler, Mr. Jones and Judge Martin all concluded their his tories with 1776 ; so, for a century past, there is absolutely no book that pretends to chronicle events in North Carolina. The undersigned . has endeavored to fill this want, and will, soon as enough subscriptions, are obtainedput to press the results of his labors. . This work will be published in one large octavo volume of about eight hundred pages at four dollars, per copy, to be paid for on delivery, or two volumes at five dollars. The author will want agents in every portion of the State, with whom he is willing to make liberal contracts for the sale of the work. The Black District. Washington Prett.

At the hands of this con vena tion James E.

After some time had elapsed, enough, however, to 6ow the seeds of discontent, the executive committee of the district met in nrvtrUhnrri and under the nlea that the good of the party demanded the removal of O ilara, they, witnout more aoo, tnrew him overboard and nominated in his stead the renegade and utterly self ish Lot W. Humphrey. This movement instead of havintr the effect of stillinir the troubled waters, stirred them to their very dpnths. caused them to bubble and boil more furiously, and threw to the top a host of hitherto iorgotten petty politicians, wnose - . .
