BADLY WOUNDED.-On last Wed-nesday night a white tramp givinghis name as William Stevens, and aRussian by birth, was lodged in ourparish jail on a charge of attemptedburglary of the warehouse of Mr. E.Dubuisson at Dubuisson Station, sevenmiles above Washington, just after darkon Tuesday night last.

Mr. Neely the clerk of Mr. Dubusson,on that night, discovered Stevens tam-pering with the door of the warehouse,and called to the man to halt; but hemoved off refusing to stop wh.en Mr.Neely fired on him with a shot gun,two buckshot taking effect, one in theback of the neck, and one glancing shoton the side of the head. Stevens de-nies any felonious intent, and says hewas only seeking shelter for the night.The wound is painful but not ,ccessa-rily -dangerous.

In commenting upon the result of theelection, the Times-Democrat says:

"The questions before the peoplehave thus been determined. Gov. Mc-Enery has received a gratifying andtriumphant indorsement. The wisdomand propriety of his nomination havebeen established, and the seal of popu-lar approval has been set upon his ad-ministration of the past three years.In New Orleans the people have sig-nitled'their recognition of the admira-ble manner in which the Democraticparty have managed municipal affairs.They have practically and eloquentlycommended the methods by which thecity has been relieved from debt, itsfinances rehabilitated and its securitiesraised to dignity. They have showntheir confidence in the party that In-augurated and carried out this bene-fieent work, and very plainly expressedtheir unwillingness to experiment in areform which discloses no valid groundof complaintand set forth no intelligi-ble scheme of remedy.

We think that the people throughouttheState have every reason to congratu-late themselves upon the result."

FILIBUSTERING IN CUBA. -A band of

t1-rty filibusters recently landed inCuba, unfier the comand of Gen. Agu-ero, and at last accounts had increasedtheir numbers to fourteen hundred.They have destroyed several planta-tions and are now safe in the moun-tains, from whence they make success-ful raids. The government was misledand sadly duped by those sympathizingwith Aguero, and sent the bulk of thetroops in the wrong direction, and isnow hiding from the public the disas-trous encounters between Aguero andthe SW'itroops he .uet, and the rapidiPerase of the e•-mbers of insurgents.-- irs sid that partisans of those Cubansavo~inig anuexation to the United

States are endeavoring to organize aleagne to work in favor of that idei,as a grdat mauy Spaniafds are becom-lag converted to it, especially Catalans,who, in intelligence, are superior tomost Spatiards who go there.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN THE

TRACK OF A TORNADO.

DAYTON, April 27.---Shortly before 5o'clock this afternoon the most destruc-tive cyclone ever known in this part of 1the country passed over the southernpart of Montgomery and Greene coun-tiesdevastating everything in its course.It appears to have originated nearWoodburn, a small town ten milessouth of here, and eye witnesses de-scribe it as appalling in its fury.

An authentic statement is that the

cyclone was formed by the union of twolight storm-clouds from the south andnorthwest, which immediately assumedthe form of a waterspout, rising and de-scending like waves of the sea and des-

troying everything in its way. Mr. E.

Best, of this city, who was near enoughto observe it accurately, says that itwas fully one-eighth of a mile wide andmoved about over the county like animmense cloud of smoke, while every-where in its path the air was dark with"trees and the ruins of houses. Forestswere mowed down like weeds, fencesdestroyed for miles, and it is estimatedthat in this country alone at leasttwenty residences are in ruins, to saynothing of the loss on other buildings,live stock and farm property. At Alex-andersville, six miles south of here,several people are known to be injured,and one lady is reported killed, while*saw-mills, barns and other buildings aredestroyed.

At Carrollton, Friend's paper milland other buildings are badly (amaged,while a number of residences are re-ported destroyed. The telegraph linesare down in all directions, and roadsare impassable from the ruins that fillthem.

Near Woodstein, residences andother buildings belonging to EdwardWheatley were destroyed with other

property, amounting in all to $2000.Two farm hands are reported missing.Brick school-house No. 9 was destroy-ed and the roof was carried 500 yards.Mr. Harries' house and barn was des-troyed. One child was caught in thecyclone and carried 200 yards and

dropped to earth, slightly injured. Mr.Mitchell's house and barn were partlySruined; Mr. Rideneur's property wasbadly damaged i Abner Harris' barnand other buildings were destroyed.The names of the other losers cannotbe ascertained, but considering thelarge number of houses destroyed, theremust be a heavy loss of life.

In the neighborhood of Miamisburgthere is heavy damage.

in this city twere was a neavy raimand hail but little wind, and in the sec-tious of the country devastated therewas neither rain-nor hail.

At Bell Brook, Green county, at... t fifteen farm houses are more or

less damaged, but families generally es-caaed by taking refuge in the cellars.

From Carrollton the cyclone took adirect easterly course, and its force wasnot in the least spent when it reachedJamestown, a thriving village of 600inhabitants, which is reported entirelydestroyed, with only. a few buildingsstanding. Meagre telegraph reportsstate that four people are known to bekilled, while 20 are more or less injur-ed. Among others the residence of L.Wickersham was lifted from its founda-tion and carried quite a distance.

Owing to the sparse settlement of thecountry and blockaded roads accuratedetails cannot be obtained, but withsuch loss of property that of life mustbe terrible,

Near Xenia there was considerabledestruction. The Soldiers' and Sailors'Orphans' Home was badly damaged.The barn, laundry and other buildingswere destroyed, while the hospital andother buildings were unroofed. MissHarvey, the matron, and Night Watsh-man Richardson were injured, but nochildren were hurt.

Between Jaspar and Cedar Creek, onthe Narrow Gauge road, the damage isgreat to farm property, and at thispoint trains were unable to move on ac-count of the wind, while others did notdare to pass over Cedar Creek trestleduring the cyclone.

'In all directions south. and east olhere the scene of destruction defies des-Sneintinn
