Hamilton experienced a severe $ orm of wind, rain and hail Sunday n ! ght. The bl<M’irw[ dawn a£. : a fiji w fences was aboil all the damage we have heard ofi ' ' In Columbus, several chimneys were blown down, part of the tin roof of the Alabama warehouse was blown off, and a German woman had her house blown to pieces, and bet yard dog killed. In Opelika, Ala., a house was blo.wn down, and one or two others unroofed. In Macon, the Lanier House, court house, and every warehouse in the eity was unroofed, and some small houses blown down. It is reported shat the Kimball House, in Atlanta, rocked so badly that the inmates left. SJ>. J. B. Hogue, who has just re turned from West Point, informs ns that the female college at that place was leveled with the ground. Three pianos in the building at the time were gotten out of the rubbish, and found to{l^'u& injhrdpf § 51 w'l It was fortunate that the -storm did not take place in the daytime, while tbo exercises of the college were in progress, as several lives would un doubtedly have been lost. We never thought the building very secure, and hope the West Pointers will replace it with one which will be an ornament to the town. We learn that the citizens, with their characteristic enterprise, held a meeting the next morning to consider the matter, and that they will rebuild'at once. ' Our new college buildipg here, al though on an elevated spot, and ex posed to the wind on all sides, did n)t suffer the least injury. The structure is surmounted by an ob servatory, on top of which is a spire some 80 feet high—the distance from the ground to the top of the spire bejhtg'ibout 150 feet. When', we state tbat the building is just finished enough to be in a good con dition for the wind to injure it, and that it escaped without damage, it proves the complete safety of the college, and the substantial nature of the work put upon it by the efficient contractor, g J 1 Law Breakers. —We have been i iformed that some' men, supposed to he from Columbus, came to Kings boro last Saturday evening on the train, and 6peat next day in hunting in the vicinity. They were so well satisfied with their as to ex press their intention of coming again next Sunday. We hope they will reconsider their determination. Such conduct is not, only in violation of the law of part, but 'Of Gbtl',' find meets with Anything but approval from the good people around Kingsu horo, who are ! uaeeHßtomed'to have the sanctity at/d stilhress of Sab'- bath broken by 'tlie reports of fire anna. Clock ob Bell. —Some of our cit izens are dtttussihgthb matter wheth er it would* be better. fOptit k ? beil or a clock on top of the college'. ‘Wc think a clock would be decidedly better, if the cost was not too much. It would answer as wejl for school purposes, would set off the looks of the college, and would be a great convenience to our citizens as an in dicator of the time of day—or night. m< The Railboad. —lt is the intention of the Company’^{Huh'the trtlns across the Mulberry in a short while. This will shorten the distance nearly a mile from this place, besides cutting off the worst part of the road between be e and tboterminus. _ ♦ ,>•■’ We failed to mention last w eek, that the spire had been suc cessfully placed in position on top of the college.

PUBLIC MEETING. M'"i4 n r4? beat the house hi this place, on Monday, Dec, Bth, at 11 o’clock, to make one more effort to raise sufficient means to bring the road to Hamilton, gupt. Chipley writes us that “the parties interested will be surprised to learn how little cash it will require to ac complish what they want.” Let everybody turn out-apd put their shoulders to the wheel. A long pull, a strong pull, and a pul! altogether, and the locomotive’s whis tle will be heard on our streets ere many days. * North and South Road, —We were informed by the Superintendent of this road, on yesterday, that the trains would be run across the Mul berry in a.short time, thereby cutting oft* a considerable distance and some bad road for all persons north of the creek. He leaves for New York to morrow, to be absent a week or ten days. As soon as he returns efforts will be made to carry the track to Ilamutaik, and for tlQit, purpose a fiieSting 1 ' will be held at the court house in that town on Monday, De cember Bth, at 11 o’clock. Every man in Harris should feel an interest iu this matter and be present. We hope brother Boully will advertise the meeting, —Columbus Enquirer, 1 Sth. Certainly, we will advertise it; and would do so indefinitely, if that would bring the road here. Button alone will never do it; combined with -action 1 , it undoubtedly will. Let the people of Harris not only turn out in full force on the day mentioned, but let them subscribe liberally to bring the road here at once. A little from each will do it. We know of farmers in this vicinity who, although fully able, have not yet subscribed a cent, although they are as much interested as any of those who have. Can’t they be induced to do their share to |tf alpMshe completion' of the road to this place ? We hope so. Ciceronian Debating Club. —The question, “ Which is the greater in centive to action—hope of reward, or the fear of punishment?” was ably debated, and the cfecisiou referi ed to the ladies present, who decided in fa vor of the affirmative. The subject for debate next Satur day night is, “ Should Harris county adopt the stock law ?” Affirfnatii e—L. L. Stanford, L, C. Voggett.' Negative —H. C. Cameron, C. L. Bendy. On motion of Capt. Stanford, a vote of thanks was tendered the la-’ dies, with a request that they would continue to favor us with their pres ence. .Constitution,— See the advertisement of the grand distribu tion ©fi prizes to subscribers to this sterling journal.

Why, if they could only see it, it would pay them better to advertise now than at any other time. We have heard of men who, in the panic of 1857, advertised the whole time. The result was, that while their neighbors who did not advertise j failed, they made money. There is j money in the country yet, and those ! who are hoarding it are on the watch j for bargains, and will invest with I those who tell them through the pa | pers where they can get these bar • gains. /• ♦ • j See Here!—Do.you want a first ] class daily paper and a weekly one | year for the price of the daily alone ?
