VOL XXIII, N 0. 42.4 AND GENERAL ADVERTISER PORT PERRY, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEP . 80, 1880. | WHOLE Sept. 18.--Buenos Ayres advices say that on the 21st of August the national troops en- ° - tered the®Provincial Chambers ejected the members of the Chamber of Deputies at the point of the bayonet, posted double sentinels; and closed the legislature by order of the National Government. A great crowd col. lected in the street, but there was no dis: turbance. The senators and deputies ad- journed to the municipal hall, and issued 4 manifesto which failed to elicit a manifesta tion of popular feeling. The city rumaing tees Ham axp Tatose,--Sutton, Sept. i8.-- The most sovere thunderstorm that has ever visted this place commenced about nine o'clock last night, Hailstones fell for about fifteen minutes with temendous force, some measuring as much as eight inches in cirs cumference, There is scarcely a house in the village which has not some window Fruit and root crops suffered ses verely, large limbs being torn from the frees by the :hailstones. Fortunately there was not much wind, or there would not have been a window left whole ou the side from which the storm came, The ground is covered with foilage from the trees. The storm seems to have taken a course of abont a mile wide directly through the town= ship from west to cast.

I couldn't help chuckling as they tore by, the old jackass leading the way ata speed to which I had been vainly urging him all" the evening. Bat thore was no time to be lost, for the road which tho pursuers had taken was the one which lod straight to ontrance of the jewish quarter. and it was. cloary impossible to make that.

Not a minuto too soon--for the quay was all alight and alive jwith people and lanterns. The news of the sister's escape had just reached the town, and I saw my old enemy, the mule, dragged into the Palaza and surrounded by a group of gap- ing Spaniards, who seemed to ox- poct he would open his mouth and | ol them what had become of the naway, Our boat did not escape the poor distressed Spanish girl had flowh for protection to the men of the Valeria, Martin then conducted Dona Dol- iden that they might havo called in (ores io lie own Sabin When she was tho assistance of hardy pesants arm. | O1treY ed 10 ma o. herself as mu at home as possible, for thoughan outward accident had marred the completion of our plans for her safety, there was not a man on board the ship that night who would not prevent her return if noeessary with his life. Martin was to turn in slong with me, but; though I was al- most dead beat, it was a long timo before he would let me get to sleep for discussing & hundred different ways of concealing the young lady during the search which we knew was inevitable next day and for ap- peasing tho wrath of the Captain, a rigid disciplarian and martinet, which was only one dogree less tor- rible, I fell asleep in the middle of tho discussion, and Martin, I believe, wont on deck to star gaze, or else stationed himself on guard outside his own cabin door, within which he strictly cautioned the girl to remain until something was decided for her sleep by a knock on the door mess waiters; a clever, handy fellow, of taking into my confidence whon the rescue scheme was first develop: ed.
