At 7 o'clock on the 22, March, our village was visited with a tornado or hurricane, more alarming than any thing of the kind ever witnessed by our oldest inhabitants. About ten minutes before the hardest blow was felt, it was heard like distant thunder, and the nearer it approached the heavier became the general crash. Major Walker, one of our oldest settlers, who had experienced a similar storm some 40 years since in this country, gave the alarm to his family and neighbours, advising them to betake themselves to their cellars, as a hurricane was certainly approaching. By this time the air was literally filled with the hurling fragments, such as roofs of houses, rafters, boards, rails, shingles, &c. Not a house, tree, fence, or scarcely any thing, is left standing within the space it appeared to occupy, which, we think, is about one fourth of a mile wide, and in a vein from west to east. Our village presents to the beholder a shocking spectacle. Fourteen houses are blown down and unroofed; five barns and stables, one boat house, one mill and carding establishment, completely crushed, with many other houses much damaged. Many families are turned out without a roof to shelter them from the pitiless storm. Beds, bedding, and houshold furniture, are to be seen hanging amongst the broken timber, and strewn along the road. Among the principal sufferers in this place, are John Craighead, Esq. F. C. Flannegan, John Wilson, Esq. and John and Samuel Walker. The boats along shore were lifted, and thrown on the beach, and broken; and, what is very remarkable, two flat boats were lifted from their moorings, and carried some distance, and torn to pieces, large parts of which have not yet been found. Much damage is also done in the vicinity. Captain Thomas Robertson's brick house, kitchen and ferry house, are all blown down.Hugh M. Wilson, who resides one mile out of this place, had his grist and saw mill, house and barn, carried away to the ground. We have not yet heard from farther than about three miles each way, but as far as heard from the destruction appears general. Thanks to that Providence who watches over and protects us amidst such calamitous visitations, no buman lives were lost, though many have received slight wounds. We fear to hear from a distance, as the consequences must be disastrous,-Pittsburg Gazette. AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE APPOINTMENT OF as they shall think reasonable, a record of which offer shall be made, and if the same should not be accepted, and the damages thereafter assessed in the manner provided for by this act should not amount to a larger sum than the one offered as aforesaid, the person or per. sons in whose favor such damages may be assessed shall pay all the costs attending such assessment, and a certi fied copy of the record of such offer as aforesaid shall be evidence of the amount thereof.

Section 5.

Accounts came from the mouth of Conogochegue, of Oct. 4, that the Indians had appeared on the frontiers of Maryland in that neighborhood "destroying all before them; firing houses, barns, stackyards, &c. and upwards of forty persons were killed or taken. The woods were alive with them." From Aughwick, Oct. 9-That 14 days before, 160 about leaving the Ohio to attack the frontiers. That the Indians meant to draw off all the Indians from out of Pennsylvania and from the Susquehanna before they attacked the inhabitants of this province. George Croghan was desired by an Indian to shift his quarters as soon as he saw the Indians remove from the Susquehanna back to Ohio. From Fort Cumberland-That the Indians had cut off a great many families around that Fort. It is supposed near 100 persons killed or taken-the houses all burnt, and plantations laid waste. Parties of the enemy appear within sight of Fort Cumberland, and frequently larger than the garrison (137). By a prisoner, taken and escaped, they are known to be the Shawanese and Delawares, under the command of one Shingo, who,and most of his company, were at the Carlisle Treaty! October 18.

Oct. 31. Governor thought the Assembly authoriz. ing a committee to distribute arms an infringement on the rights of the government, and appointed a committee of Council to inquire into it. He sent for the Chief Justice, Mayor, Recorder & Alder. men, & having laid before them the defenceless state of the province and the state of affairs, exhorted them to stir up the people to contribute to the general defence--which they promised. The Governor informed them that there had been a number of suspicious Frenchmen who had of late been in town, and it was thought were now concealed. He expected them to be searched for and brought before him. A committee appointed to take an account of the arms and ammunition in the city. Conrad Weiser appointed Colonel of the forces in Berks county. Governor writes to Gen. Shirley, "That he was infor med the French intended to seize and fortify Shamokin, having it is said obtained the consent of the Delaware Indians to do it under the ensnaring pretence of putting them again into possession of their former country and rendering them independent of the Six Nations. Those Indians we know are gone against us, and with the Shawanese (a nation ever averse to the 6 nations,) committed the murders and devastations in Virginia,and are now in several parties killing our inhabitants in the country near Shamokin, with design, no doubt, to give the French time to build their fort, and to hinder any obstruction from us." November 2. Accounts from C. Weiser and others, Reading, Oct. 31, 8 o'clock at night, that the people at Aughwick and Juniata, were all cut off, and that they were all in uproar at Reading.
