The novel experiment was made by several farmers in tho vicinity of this town of attempting to retain the beat in their potato beds by the use of lamps. With what success, we are not advised, but our merchants are at least happy, in having found purchasers for all their stock in that line. We are credibly informed that suits wi'l be instituted at an early date by the attorney for the Commonwealth apainst all parties who have tendered coupons in payment of taxes in the county of Accomac.

If you do not want to be sued, withdraw your coupons aud pay in money. Sykes Island is to have a daily mail to be supplied from Oak Hall. The route between the two points is to be by Jenkin's Bridge and Sanford and bids for the privilege of carrying it are now in order. Many of our pejple are so fond of working for the Government, we presume, that in tliis instance as in many others, some one will be found willing to take the contract for barely enough to furnish tlarn with "widdes aud clothes." During tbe late storm the smoke stack of steam-mill of Mr. A.

J.

The damages in oth? er respects in town and vicinity were Blight A few trees only were blown down, fences scattered thouch the storm seems to have raged with equal fury here as at other points. The dwell? ing of several of our citizens were so badly shaken by th winds that many complained of feeling Monday morning, as if they had been tossed to and fro by the waves and said they had the sea sickness incident to same.

Mr. Editor-I have read with much interest the sermons of Dr. Tulmage. and 1 hope they have proved beneficial to others. While few aspire to such worldwide notoriety as he has very justly gained for himself by the pnbli cation of his sermons, yet I doubt not that many, although not so learned and popular as he is.raight accomplish much good by publishing their thoughts on parts of scripture.

The secular press has become one of the most potent and w.desi read agencies for good in this di? rection. And now that the columns of all or nearly all are not only open to re? ceive and publish such articles, but are anxious to lay before their readers what? ever will tend to elevate the morals of their readers, I have frequently thought that ministers others should avail themselves of this means of doing good. If occasionally they should send a few well digested thoughts for publication in their local might awaken greater interest in the Christian life among all classes of church members. It may be that there are some who sel? dom attend their own houses of worship, to whom these articles would be wel? come messages, and the reading of them might produce a great change in I heir Christian life. Even a few short texts of scripture without comment ould be read in a newspaper by some who seldom read the Bible.and a lasting impression for good might result to this class ot Christians.

Then again those Christians who toll in every de uartment church work might by calling the attention of thesedelinqiient members to these texts and articles gel up a little talk around the fireside upon some neglected duty, and thus they would become the aeents for good. If these few lines should be read by your numeinus subscribers. I will give a text it the close of this and ask each one of to meditate upon it for the next week, and, if it meets with your ap? probation. Mr. Editor, I will send a few comments upon it for you next week.

'Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" Acts IX. 6. D. Mr. will stale for the guidance of committee appointed at Onancock of the Accomac Truckers' und Fruit Growers Association, that a has been appointed by State of Delaware to confer with merchants and gain all possible infor? mation relative to discriminations md know that they have done some irery valuable work.

In ar- few days we will be enabled to give you facts in con lection with the above, which will give your farmer's committee very valuable working grounds, owing to the fact the said committee appointed by ike association of the Slate of Deleware las selected our house as its shipping scntre. They have made us shipments 'rom Norfolk and propose doing so from other localities, their object being thoroughly determine to what extent evil has been and is at present time Oeing carried on. Hoping jou will 'itherpnbhsh this in your paper or re? fer its contents the committee hav? ing the matter in charge. Respectfully, E. T.

Nock Co. Mar. 3, Seed The truckers of this Peninsula need more particular about the seed po? tatoes they pHit. They should follow the example of their more experienced South Jersey brethren who will not use Tor seed, potatoes grown short of rur therest northeastern point of theU. because the short quick season of Maine conduces to the hardy and quick growth of potatoes when planted South.

Pan coast Griffiths, of who are long and experienced in the business, state that the elevated hinds bick from the ocean in Maine, and New Bruns? wick, and in some sections only of No? va Scotia, give decidedly the best satis? faction among Jersey truckers who plant principally Early Rose because this variety takes be-t in N. Bos? ton markets, and it is an earlier and surer crop when planted from the best Eastern (Northern) pure stock. The above firm is quoted as au? thority by our Jersey contemporaries In instancing cases where, planted side by side at the same time and under the same condition the seed they supplied from Iloulton (Houlton Rose) came up and yielded well during Iinrd (either dry or too wet) seasons, when other seed cf the same variety yielded little over tho quantity planted.

J.arcr qnnntiilcN sminninc and Oilier I'roitcrty Dcitroyoil. During the day of Sundav the wind was cloudy but mild. By 3 p. m. a constant cold rain wa3 making it very disagreeable for all travelers.

Gtw. Greely had promisied southerly winds, warmer and fair. By 9 p. in- the wind had shifted to the north'ard and blew heavily With snow, at 10 30 a gale was in progress, and during the night a ter riflic storm ol' snow and wind raged. It was typical March.

Day Monday with increased fury of the wind and snow. During ihewliola ot Mon and Tuesday night i.nd day heavy winds 'litinued but with litth snow. Wed? nesday wi.s raw and windy, but diu im: the night the wu.d and temperature moderated considerably. sun lose bright aud clear with moderate wind. The worst or the terrible gab was the fearful gusts of wind which strewed destruction in their Tho ides, tides and winds of March met and they will not soon be forgot? ten.

The gre atest damage elone on Suuday night and Monday On the Baysb ore the tide rose to a height never known before. As an in? stance Hunting Oieek roso si high that the bridge at Drummond's mill rarely ever touched by ordinary tides was coy ered to the depth of two feet. Riding at Anchor in this creek were many oys? ter craft and all but oi little shallop were driven over 500 yards and dry" ashore. At the steamboat wharf laths, wood, lumber, co-dhouse. out? houses, everything except dwelling, storehouse, grainhonsc and stables of Hopkins, Broj.

swept away. It is thought it will cost about SS00 co tloat the craft now ashore there. The roadway is torn up and the bridge swept away. C. Justice Co's.

wharf was torn up, and their taining 1600 bushels of oals, and about S-50 worth guano, destroyed. A total loss of about Capt. Win. R. Lewis wharf is a total wreck.

At Onancock the rise of the tide wax unprecedented. The oldest inhabitant fails to remember one so ev? en the famous September gust of 1821. In Hopkins store it rose four inches compelling the removal of goo-b with slight loss, to the counters. In the warehouses of Powell pies, Fos que and W. D.

Dewis it rose from 17 to IS inches. The schooner Maggie Davis broke her mooring and driven by force of wind and wave threatened such mad havoc that Capt. Geo. Crockett and others were com pelled to stand the storm for hours to save the boat and from des? truction. The sloop Uamburg of Crock? ett's Fish Factory broke her fastenings and was drive high and dry at "Only near Onancock." It is reported the factory has it is doubted.

The banks of the creek are terribly washed? in some places from five to ten feet in width of them are swept away. Par? ker's Marsh is cleaned of stock, and covered with small boats of all descrip? tions. No one. can tell where from: some say as far off as Apes' Hold. CLesconuessixand Deep Creak Necks were literally swept.

In many places acres of land were covered with water three to four feet deep. Manure in heaps ai'd spread, potato beds and frames, fences, gates, and even soifT were carried away. Charles Allen was competed to take his cow and calf in the house to save them, and warned 1 loud squealing and the probable loss of bis only pcricer cut a hole in the floor and dragged it in. Mrs. Sally Gray lost all her cattle, hogs and fence.

Mr. Sauls bury says a clean sweep was made of his dwelling, stables and an outhouso alono remaining. Capt. Jno. Marsh's schooner was brought around home from Onancock on Satur? day, and now lies high above high wa? ter maik near Iiis house.

On his wharf were a large number of hu reis of oil for shipment, these were swei)t away and lost, one of his vessels loaded with oys? ters his fields swept bare of manure and shatters. Six or eight schooners are ashore on Pungoteague Creek. Capt. I. Chan? dler's schooner capsized.

The Virginia oyster police boat, Capt. Ed. Corbln, commander, had her mast, blown out and It is feared is an entire wreck. Atthewoiks of the American Fish Guano the platform and one fish house, containing a large quantity of guano were swept off, entailing a loss of $2,000 to" 53,000. Part of Hoffman Wharf is gone.

Boggs' granary was capsized with a loss in fertilizers. Gnilfoid wharf and the granary are destroye d. An old storehouse occupied as a dwelling was abandoned because of the high rise of the tide in it. On Messongo a large number of boats and canoes wore blown ashore at Shad Landing. Many of the canoes were badly broken up.

Throughout the entire Shore report3 of more or less damage come of fences, buildings, boats, blown to pieces. Trees have been blown down by hun? dreds not only on the edges of woods near the roads, where it was very dai. gerous to travel, but throughout their extent. In and near this town several narrow escapts wt-re had. Mr Thomas Lillis ton had his stable of three stalls blown down catching his cattle under the roof.

Fortunately one corner caught on an ad? joining building saving them from be? ing crushed. A falling tree drove its branch, fully five inches in diameter, through the root of the stable of Mr. Edward Gardiner into the floor, barely missing a valuable horse owned by him. Mr. Fred Waddy started in Savage's hack under the skillful control of Mr.

Will Lilliston, to meet the 11.03 p. train at They had scarcely gone three hundred yards when a terri? fic gust of wind struck the hack, forced ihe top over nearly breaking it off, and barely missing an upset. Like a pru? dent sailor he "put his helm hard to starboard," "went about" and made port at the stables with all possible haste. Monday's mail was missed aud noil" north of Del mar was had until Thursday. Reports from up the road give tidings of telegraph poles down, trees across the track to Delmar, and beyond there impassable'- till Thursday.

Below tho force of the gale was equally severe. At Cape Charles City the Church, the 1 occupied By Hi1 Caue Charles Fish and Oyster a fieight ear ware ui roofed. All the line ilie telegraph was down. Near Nassaw.iddux, Sunday nigh1, engine No. 5 drawing the 11 o'cloc-.

train ian into a tree lying across the. road, and with two Ci.rs was ditched. The engine was very ladly broken, and Barr narrowly eVcapf? serious mjuiyh being caught under it. The steamer having failed to make connec? tion no passengers were aboard. While a.

l.er wharf at Old Point the steamer Uld Point was jammed against the piling damaging l.er keel badly. Railway navel north of Deimar ceased until T.n.rsdny, a id the Baltic more steamers have failed I come ex-j cept the Eastern Shore, which after terrible passage reached Pui.goteagm on Tuesday morning. So far i.s we learn the gale was an ex- tensive one and great damage was dour i wherever it spread. Wo have rarel had such a gale here. That of '76 wa very severe, as was also that of Augus; neither bated so long as this.

Twenty-onV years ago almost con tlnnous wind and rain iastedduring on the 19th, in a violent storm lasting for three dajv doing much damage. It is to bo hoped that coming ia lik a lamb," "roirir.g like a lion" at middle, this March will go out quietly? and St. Patrick's Day and the equinox prove to have beeuswa.lowe up in this great storm.
