The dam over Haywood’s mill stream, Mill River, was one of these carried away, and its proximity to the raiiway caused a washout in the em- bankment of the road and slight damages to the railway brid ge over that stream, which have since been re paired. ——@——— Cyctone. —A veritable cyclone, accompanied by thunder and lightning and a tremendous downpour of rain, passed over a portion of western Prince County on Sunday last. The hurricane came from the northwest, and struck heaviest in the vicinity of Bloomfield aud the junction of the O’Leary and Western Roads. Luckily, it was confined to narrow limits, covering an area of not more than five miles in length and one mile in width, so that the damage is not very heavy. A barn blown down, a house and a barn uuroofed, a portion of a schoolhouse carried away, and fences and trees in the path of the storm levelled to the ground, are some of the disastrous effects reported We are pleased to learn that the crops in the district over which it passed escaped uninjured. —— re OC Tue Rirte.—No, 2 Battery made some guod practice yesterday, Gunner Prowse leading off with 81 points, closely followed by Gunner Ramsay with 80 and Gunner Johnson 79.

The scores are close, aud the fight for first place will be hot. It is suggested that & match be arranged between teams from the two city Katteries. It used to be said of our Attillerymen that they were better at the big guns than at the rifle. But they can hold their own against all-comers now, as their Scores at the Provincial and League matches show, sdumioaipisnanil A Bie Sreat.—The snug sum of $75 was stolen from the residence of Mrs. Martina y, Great George Street, yesterday.

BAp Porato Crop.— The Londonderry, Ire., Sentinel prints reports from its correg- pondents in 25 centres of population in Don- egal. These reports attest the ravages of the potato blight in the poverty-stricken and con- gested districts of Falcarraga and Gweedore. The crop is almost a total failure, and the outlook is worse than at any time since the famine year of 1846. Movrnine Goops.—Owing to the extraor- dinary good value in our Black Dress Goods this season, we have been almost completely sold out for the past three weeks. We have pleasure to inform the public that we are now receiving a large shipment of mourning fab- rics and other goods, sent out by Mr. Paton, who is now in London, and will be pleased to show customers the very best goods that can be offered at bargain prices.—James Paton & Co. aug22 3i Sicilipeincnagh ACCIDENTALLY PoisoneD.—It is reported that some of the members of a family living at Tryon and one or two of their friends had a narrow escape from death by poisoning re- cently. 1t appears that they ate some rasp- berries picked in a field adjoining a potato patch which had been sprinkled with Paris Green, and some of the “‘bug medicine” must have been accidentally placed upon the berry bushes. A short time after eating the berries the people took sick and began vomit- ing. A medical man was summoned but by the time he arrived on the scene the danger- ous period was past, the vomiting having saved their lives. Paris Green is a very good antidote for the potato bug, but the greatest care should be exercised in using it. K. DBD.
