I'll! storm was general throu bout the counties of Worcester. Gloucester, and Hereford, I gh its violence concentrated it- self over the county of Worcester, westward of the Sev_srn. The rain poured down almost incessantly,snd occasionally in a perfect wsterapout, for nearly twelve hours,ancc_mpanied by thunder and lightning. Upon the Tome and its tributary streams, the destruction of roperty has been most sfleting. A great majority of the bridges upon these streams have been blown up, or areas for damaged that they will require rebuild- in . The destruction of crops and live stock along the ’l‘saie valley h immense. Large fields of beans were swept away, and the whole hnp.yarda are destroyed. a number of s esp washed away in the parish of Patrick alone is rock- oned at two thousand. The reel extent of the damage, how- ever, cannot be ascertained, until the waters have totally sub- sided. The whole of the sheep on the Ham were swept away. On Sundsy,the carcaaea were seen lying about in all directions. where the water had partially subsided. They_ were chiefly lodged in the badges, and men were employed with boats sail- Iiig over‘ the meadows and picking them up. Many of the car- esses were sold at Id. per lb. All the millers have sufi'ered. In Henwick, two men were journeying from Worcester'mar- ket, when they were overtaken by the flood, and obliged to swim for their lives. Luckily they reached it tree, in which

_ they took refuge. Here they remained in their wet clothes, in the midst ofthe raging e ernents, until daylight on Sunday morning, when they were rescued half dead with fright. it is feared that many lives have been sacrificed. A water spoirt lasaid to have fallen on the Tom‘-, at Knightwick, and a man and child drowned At Stone Bridge, a cottage was swept away, and its occupant. a poor woman, drowned. The trace of the coach between Worcester and llirrnirigham ran away, and the coach came in collision with a wagon, whereby the

He intends importing a Power Press, this Fall, and a quantity of new Type, which will greatly facilitate the labors of his cc, and enable him to devote more time and attention to the other Departments connected with the business.

We have inserted in another art of the paper the resolutions entered into rirtce dward Island Branch of the Associated Alumni of King's College, Windsor. It will be long, before we shall be enabled to give our youth a liberal education at home, however desirable it in be and however much we ought to strive for it, and as it mes more and more necessary, that our children should be sufficiently educated in order to enable them both abroad and at home, to cope with these al y possessed of such advantages, the next best thing we can do, is to secure for them a place where they may acquire the re§uisite knowledge. without being too far removed from home. och a place is Windsor, the access to it is easy and inexpensive, and when there, the upil is enabled to perf the education, of which the rudiments have been

A solo y auction of Stock was held on the ground im- mediately after the close of the show, at which several sales of Cattle were made at fair pricos—-a two year old lleifer, of a cross between the Durham and Ayrshire, being knocked down for £15. Several Ruin Lambs of Leicester brood i were also sold at from £4 6s. a head. A much greater number of this desert tron of Stock would have been offered, we are informed, hot or the that that the flocks ofthe best brocdcrs in this neighbourhood having been thinned by purchases recently made by gontlomcn from some of t e Agricultural Societies in Nora Sootin, at noon much lower than those ronlizcd as above mentioned. erhaps it would be better if breeders were retain such of stock as they wish to dispose of until the day of the Show each year, when an attendance of buyers from the neighbouriig Pro- vinces might be looked for, and better results obtain .

cot faithfully instilled into him here. Prince Edward Island has already been made acquainted with the benefits to be derived from a residence in the Institution at Windsor; several of the youth educated in Charlottetown have graduated and home ofi‘ liuiiors to their own credit and to that of the place, in which their education was begun, and of that where it was finished. Is it not fair then, that t e leland should contribute to the funds of an lnstititlion, wlrrch'lia‘s been of much service, and which may be of still more, in training the youth‘ ofthe_Colcrl , in those brsnclies of knowledge, ancient or modern, sat"rc‘d"dr profane, whiclt are iridispensalrly necessary in these times to their success in life? Many are of opinion that a collegiate education is oflittle or no service, rather a bar to advancement, than otherwise. Never was there a more sad mistake. Take a look over the institutions for learning iii the neighbouring republic; sea the immense number of well-educated men that are sent out, year by year, to every part of the habitable globe, and in every possible class of life, who not only acquire riches and knowledge, and spread the fame and reputation of their country, but come back to their native place and diffuse the blessings of both these acqu' Such we wish to see

rremcnts. done here; llrere is no want of talent in our native youth"; on the contrary, there is, generally speaking, an uncom urr aptitude for learning; this we wish to see fostered and encouraged. The Governors of the College at Windsor have it, we understand. in contemplation— if not already done-l dispense with residence within the walls of the Colle e, tlr s will enable a parent to place his son with a family at iutlso where _he may be boarded ‘and lodged, according to his means of paying. This is of great importance and will, we think, tend to increase the number of students and make the institution more generally useful.
