House Thief arrested and House Re-coVEiro.-11will be remembered that severalweeks ago Mr. J. W. Landes advertised In theSpectator a reward for a bay mare that hadbeen stolen from, his farm near Mt. Sidney.Shortly afterwardsIt was learned that the cele-brated horse-thief Waller had made his escapefrom the penitentiary,where he was serving aterm of twentyyears for horse-stealing, and Itwas thought he had taken the horse of Mr.Landes. This surmise turns out to be true, aswill be seen from the following notice In theWashington Gazette ot Saturday, the 9th lnst.:"Lieutenant Arnold and Officer Breen lastweek capturedthe noted horse-thief and des-perado, Joe Waller, and returned him to theRichmond penitentiary to complete his termof twentyyears, of which he has already passedonlyfive and a half. In theircaptureof Wallerthey lit upon a certain fact wblch they thoughtworth tracing up,and the result was they dis-covered amare belonging to John W. LandesofMt. Sidney, Augusta county, Va., In the pos-session ofa butcher, named Fllesler, at Laurel,Md. This mare Waller had sold tothe butcher,and Its recov%y was a matter of great joy toits owner, wnp enjoyed last night the hospi-tality of Lieutenant Arnold and to-day willreturn home."

We were be-ginningto feel as If we didn't care "If peachesnevergot ripe," but a change has come overus, and wewould that our thanks could be asdelicate and smooth as the "down upon thepeach's roseate cheek;" however, the remem-brance of the fair giver'skindness will remainWith us longafter tbe fruit's flavor has fled.

A Great Storm In Minnesota.A TOWN DESTROYED BY A CYCLONE?

THIRTY PEOPLE KILLED ANDWOUNDED,

St. Paul, July 17.?A tornado devas-tated tbecity of New Ulm, Minn., Fri-day night, killing many of its inhabi-tants. It is the county seat of Browncounty, and contained3,500 inhabitants.The storm made its appearance at 4 P.M? and it could distinctly be seen ap-proaching in two separate columns.One moved upward and tbe other seem-ed to descend from tbe clouds and tospend its whole force in the neighbor-hood of New Ulm. Five hundred build-ings are more or less damaged, aboutone hundred being totally wrecked, in-cluding the finest business blocksin tbecity.

The thunderand lightning were ter-rific and the wind blew a hurricane,while the rain descended in blindingsheets. There was a moment's lull andthen the cyclone struck tbe town, al-most destroying it, and then disappear-ing as suddenly as it came. Its effectsarealmost indescribable. Some houseswerestruck by lightning, others werelifted up bodily by the violence of tbewind, and others were demolished byflying debris from other buiididgs.Scores of dwellings and stores wereen-tirely destroyed. Very few escaped un-injured, but many bad the roofs blownoff, or wereso badly unjoin ted by tbewind tbat they have to be pulled downand rebuilt. The storm was most de-structive in the north end of the city,and wbole blocks of frame buildingswereswept away.

J. G. Randolph, mayor of tbe city,estimates tbe total loss at $.500,000, andthe lowest estimate is $350,000. Asidefrom the loss of life, the worst featureof the calamity is that noneof the prop-erty destroyed is insured against acci-dentsof this kind.

Drowned While Bathing.?Thiscommunity was againstartled and pain-fully shocked on last Sunday morningby the announcement of another saddrowning of a young man while bath-ing in the Hawksbill near this place.The facts, as we learn, are briefly these:John lieniley, aged about 24 years, oneof the brick-masonson tbe Cave Hotel,in company with several companions,left town about 9 o'clock last Sundaymorning for the purpose of bathing.On reaching theFurnace Dam, about amile below town, the young men withhim undressed and went intotbe water,while youngLemley, notknowing howto swim, remained on the bank. Someminutes afterwards, he also undressedand sprang in, and sank to the bottom,tbe waterbeing about 15 feet deep. Herose three times,and, though only about10 feet from bank, his companions see-ing him drowning, all their efforts tosave him were ineffectual. His bodywas not recovered until about two hoursand a-half afterwards, when it wastaken in chargeby undertakers Warren,Printz & Co., and placed in a neat cof-fin. At 3 o'clock a special train con-veyed it to his homein Newtown,Fred-erick county, Va. He leaves a wifeandone child, having been married onlyabout a year. No inquest was held,nonebeing considered necessary.? PageCourier.

In fact,when in Washington a day or two ago,they feelingly expressed too much re-gard and anxiety for the President todabble in politics while his life ia indanger."

A Narow Escape.?During the pro-gress of the thunder-storm that passedover Lewisburg last Tuesday eveningthe house of Mr. D. H. Bell was struckby lightning. The fluid fastened uponthekitchen chimney and separated intotwo parts. One of the streams shiveredthe window frame to atoms, and theother knocked the rocksfrom tbechim-ney andran down into the room wherethefamily were at sapper. A ball ofthe liquidfire as large aa a ten-poundcannon shot played around over the hotstove a few seconds and then vanished,leaving no trace of its exit. Mrs. Bellwas somewhatshocked, and a littleboyof Mr. Al. Cabell's, that happened tobe standing near tbe stove, was consid-erably stunned by the surges of theelectricity.? Greenbrier Independent.

So far as we are able to judge from acareful perusal of our exchangesthroughout the State, the "opening ofthecampaign" by ColonelCameron basbeen a very lame and tame effort. Hehas excited no enthusiasm for the tick-et, and the fact that he has refused todivide time with several prominentspeakers, at differentpointson his tour,bas excited much unfavorable commentamong bis qwr party friends.?Debt-Payer.

As will be seen by thecard publishedbelow, which has been scatteredbroad-cast among tbe colored voters in Vir-ginia, the headquartersofMahone havebeen located in Washington City andare run by negroes. The Mahoneites itwillbe seen aremaking a strong bid forthe negro vote,for tbey know thatwith-out that aid they haven't the ghost of achance ef pollinga vote half as large asthey did last year, when they werevo-ting for democratic candidates. To thedemocratsof Virginia we say read thiscard carefully and you will see whitherMahone is trying to lead you.

To tbe Coloijed Voters ol Virginia.

BEAD, REFLECT, AND VOTE FOR THEBEADJUSTER TICKET.

For Governor, W. E. CAMERON, Pe-tersburg, Va,

ForLieut Governor, JNO. F. LEWIS,Lynnwood, Va.

For Attorney General, F. P. BLAIR,Wytheville, Va.

It is a timeof seriouscontemplation?a time when each colored citizenshouldbe aroused to a sense of duty, to standby and in defenseof the Constitution ofthe United States, that declares everyman free and equal, and further pro-vides thatthe rightsofno citizen shouldbe abridged except for felony or othercrimes. The Constitution further pro-vides that every man should be free tovote according to the dictataes of hisown opinion; and, therefore, he shouldhave all the rights which Charles Sum-ner, the great statesman, contended forand defended to the time of his death.The colored people of the South havebeen deprived of these rights, whichwerejustly theirs, by intimidationandballot-box stuffing and a great manyother things. The new departurein theState of Virginia, led by tbe Hon. Mr.Mahone, should encourage the coloredpeople of Virginia to support the Read-juster party aboveall other parties. Thequestion may arise at this time why weshould support that party. First, tbeReadjuster party has. a glorious princi-ple, founded upon a free and untram-meled ballot. Second, afair and impar-tial count. Third, paying of the Statedebt. Fourth, abolishing the capita-tion tax. Fifth, dispensing with thewhipping-post and substituting in itsplace free schools, and guaranteeing toits most humble citizen -equality beforethelaw. Tbetimehas nowarrivedwhenthe coloredman should cast his vote insupportof theparty that will be to thegreatest interest to the party or partiesconcerned, and then they will be doingonly as tbe white man does. The Re-adjuster party will be of more interest,of moreworth, of more service to thecoloredvoters of Virginia than any oth-er party. Therefore, irrespective ofparty, or political clamor, the coloredmen of the State should put forwardandbring to bear any independentprin-ciple to support that class of men thatis of the most advantage to the people.When the colored people come to thisdecision! whichwill certainly be neces-sary for the upbuilding of therace, andnot until then, will they be recognizedaa a people. As the Readjusters haveleft Bourbon Rule in the backgroundthere is every reason why the coloredpeopleof the State should support themat the coming election.

At a Convention of colored citizensbeld in the District of Columbia, Apriltbe Bth, which Convention we were del-egates to, representing the Lincoln As-sociation,tbe following resolutions wereunanimously adopted :?

Whereas, The fundamental princi-ples laid down by the framers of theConstitution, setting forth thefacts thatall men being created free and equal,and as the ConstitutionalAmendmentshave guaranteed these Fights and im-munities, and tbat any departure there-from is unlawful and unconstitutional;and as tbe manly course of tbe Hon.Wm. Mahone, United States Senatorfrom Virginia, most heartily and thor-oughly commendsitself to us all as col-ored citizens of the District of Colum-bia and his Commonwealth, therefore?

Be it Resolved by this Convention as-sembled, tbat wefully endorse his man-ly courseand feel rejoiced thatVirginiahas at last sent a representative wborises above party prejudice and favorsjustice to all menregardless of race, col-or, or previous condition or servitude,and,?

Be it furthur Resolved, Tbat he basour hearty support and co-operation inall things pertaining to this patrioticend.

All communications should be ad-dressed to Readjusters headquarters,where speakers will be sent from. Cir-culars can be furnished.

His Task Completed.? Chicago.July 12.?John Griscomconcluded hisforty-fl ve-days' fast at noonto-day. Hispulse this morning was 66; respiration,15; temperature, 98. At noon, just be-fore he broke his fast, he weighed 147}pounds. About2oo peopleassembled intbe Olympic theatreto see thefaster takehis first mouthful of food. Behind thescenes a table was spread containingr_,isins, peaches, oranges, cake, bread,crackers, cheese, whortleberries, bis-cuits, beefsteak, strawberries, milk,toast, and ice-water. The hero of theday qnietly walked around, superin-tending the arrangements, talking withthe reporters, and even helping thewaitressesto handle tbe articlesof food,showing in the meanwhile no signs ofunusual hunger or excitement. Whenthecurtain went up the audience ap-plauded heartily, and Griscom made alittle speech setting forth his well-known views about fasting, saying hebelieved that much physical sicknessand distress was due to over-crowdingthe system with food. He had attempt-ed and had shown that abstention fromfood could be safely undertaken. Hehad only recovered by reason of fastingfrom an illness which the doctors badpronounced fatal. He did not advisepromiscuous fasting, but desired scienti-fic attention to be given the subject,with a view to hereafter obtaining anyadvantage there might be in it as aremedial agent. He was hungry, butnot ravenous.

Fasting was both amental and physi-cal test. Will-power had much to dowith its success. He had ordered anelaboratemenu not because he expectedto eat much, but to satisfy his imagina-tion as well as his appetite. He then,amid renewed applause, sat down and,with thewords 'Here is looking atyou,'lifted a glass of milk to his lips andslowly drank a gobletful; turning toanother glass, he took a few sips more,and then turned his attentian to themilk-toast,eating verydeliberately,andstopping to chat with his companionson the stage. He continued toeatslow-ly and with apparent nonchalance un-til the audience, having satisfied theircuriosity, began to disperse.

c 4 lLeaving Lewis.?The Debt-Payer(Republican) says:"Mr. Lewis's administration of theoffice of United States Marshal for theWestern District of Virginiahas causeda regular stampede from theBeadjuster

party in the Southwest. AH the pam-phlets tbat Mr. Lewis could write be-tween now and election day would notwipe out the fact that the grossest in-justicehas been praoticed through hisoffice upon many of tbehonest and law-abiding citizens of thatsection."
