A new frame house entirely destroyed. This property was owned by a Mr. Boggs, living on Sawmill Run. The mill, blacksmith shop, and stable of Ephraim Estep, Esq. were principally destroyed, and a horse in the stable, owned by the Rev. Mr. Shadreck, killed.

Two barns belonging to the Messrs. Allisons, injured, we have not heard to what extent.

The damage done to orchards, fences and other property not enumerated above, is very extensive and destructive. We have not heard that this storm raged with any considerable violence elsewhere than in Peters' township.

Among the clearances from "the port of Lancaster," we notice the following:

"Ark P. W. Reigart, capt. Mullin-cargo 194 boxes furniture and goods for Langdon Cheves, Esq. and 50 hhds. whiskey for G. L. Mayer and C. Hager, destined for Philadelphia, via. the Chesapeake and Delaware

canal."

The building in Prune street near Sixth, built for a printing office, then afterwards known as the Tivoli Theatre, then used as the Jefferaon Medical College, and recently as a Furriery, with a lot of sixty-nine feet by one hundred, and a back lot of seventeen by forty feet, was sold by the Sheriff, for thirteen thousand one hundred dollars.

A recent visit to some of the valuable quarries with which the neighboring county of Montgomery abounds, has afforded us a much better idea of their extent and value, than we previously entertained. They are situated on both sides of the Schuylkill, and are said to embrace many hundred acres-indeed in some vicinities, the whole rock formation appears to consist of marble of greater or less value, and in some places the owners of the land have turned it to account. The rock has a dip to the horizon of about 45 degrees, and is found near the surface; in some instances, where a valuable vein has been struck upon, the workmen have followed it to the depth of one hundred feet, and even more, when the labor of raising this heavy substance becomes immense. It has not been found advisable to work under ground, but the whole superincumbent earth is first scooped off, and enormous pullies, turned by horses or oxen, erected at the top. The best marble occurs at the greatest depths, and it is a common occurrence to be compelled to close operations on this account, after having followed a vein beyond its easy access; thus leaving a plentiful supply for future times, when that which is more easily obtained is exhausted. The process of separating slabs from their native beds is a simple, tho' laborious operation, consisting of drilling, and when necessary, blowing. The latter, however, is resorted to but rarely. When a block is safely brought to the surface, it is measured and marked and sent by turnpike, either to Philadelphia or Norristown; at the latter place Longevity-There is now residing in West FallowMr. Samuel R.

Mr. Wood's machinery, which, though simple, is remarkably effective, cuts fifty slabs with only the attendance of boys and one man, while an individual with the hand machine would complete one; thus exhibiting the superior advantages of machinery.

WASHINGTON, March, 27. Dreadful Tornado.-On Monday evening last, near sundown,a most awful hurricane passed over part of this county, which in its consequences were more disasterous and melancholy than any with which we have been visited in the recollection of the oldest inhabitants.In its course it appears, so far as we have heard, to have been confined altogether to a narrow strip of country not more than half a mile in diameter, in Peters's township. The course of the Tornado was from northwest to southeast, and among other particulars of a less, destructive and afflicting character, we have gathered the following

The house in which James Armstrong resided was blown down upon the family, and killed Mr. Armstrong

Rocking Stone.-On Mine Hill, near the Gap, a large "rocking stone" was lately discovered. It is a great curiosity, being a flat rock, from 12 to 18 feet long and 3 feet thick, so nicely poised on another that an infant's touch can make it move like the scales of a balance.Stones similar to this have rarely been discovered, and when known, have become objects of general attention.

Sharp Mountain Tunnel.-The Act of incorporation for this purpose has passed our legislature. It will be an undertaking of great local advantage, and conduce much to the facilities of the coal interest.
