The storm struck the noithw esum portion of the town, destroying al >out one hundred and fifty houses and fifty barns, killing twenty people or more and causing serious injury to about one hundred persons, many of whom will not recover. A correspondent, describing the onset of the terrible visitant. says: ‘•The day was ushered in bright and cool, with a fresh wind IJ- wing from th< •-onthwest. During the afteinmoon i the t • iperature was about SO degrees, and about G o’clock, when heavy masses of cl >uds, which gathered in tie west, portended a storm, the air was oppressively warm. The cyclone was announced by a breaking of the clouds, which took on awh r ing motion, and struck the earth with a noise w i ch might be compared with the roar and rumbling of a thousand railroad trains thundering ov< r a bridge. The path of the storm, is a little over half a mile long, and perhaps a quarter of a mile wide. In this territ rj here and there a bui’ding is left stand ng. All, brick and frame alike, collaj si d, and their sites are marked only by heaps of formless debris. Many occupants of the houses escaped by seekii g the cellars and other places of comparative safety, but the cy oi;e r ame with such li ’htnii g quickne- tha many were killed before rea hingthe c <r . Li only a few cases were houses moved from their foundations. hose in the center of the storm center -imp’}’ exploded and te lin ruins where they had st<> d Some nearer the circumfe; <iec were tuned around. and some li'jht articles, such as wagons, were swept into the lake. The cyclone as it moved from the city out upon the waters of Lake Michigan presented a grand spectacle, such as is seen but once in a lifetime. The whirling columns of shr seemed monster \\Teaths of smoke, as they whirled over the water}’ expanse. All the physicians of the city responded nobly to* th ' calls for assistance, and did what thev could to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded, who were at once conveyed to St. Luke's and St Mary's Hospital, lhe dead were taken, some to the houses ot friends and some to the Court House.

At Chicago several vesee.s were driven ashore, and half a dozen persons drowned At Milwaukee four vessels were beached and a number of others badly itaased. Three men were drowned. lhe storm extended into Lake Huron and did great damage to shipping there. There was a sudden fall of tempeiature, followed bv a snow-storm.

He was widely known as a leading physician, and was styled by his soldier friends the “boy surgeon” of the Sixth Indiana regiment He leaves a wife and two children. Dr. Hitchcock, of South Bend, Secretary of the County Board of Heaivn, has been making some microscopical examinations of pork. He says that out of thirty different lots examined by him, all of which came from Chicago or elsewhere, he found twentyseven more or less infected with trichina. !

Advices from Elkhart, regarding crop prospects, say: “Owing to rains and cold weather farmers in this vicinity have been somewhat delayed in planting their corn, but have now nearly all finished. The acreage is about one-fifth larger than last year. Wheat is progressing finely, and looks exceedingly well. Notwithstanding the frosts prospects for fruit of all kinds are j et good.” Rev. Samuel Adsit died at Indianapolis from blood-poisoning consequent upon a surgical operation for the removal of a tumor from his cheek. He was aged 71. For forty years he was in the Baptist ministry, serving mostly in New York, and seven years ago he became Financial Secretary of the Rochester Theological Seminary, holding the position until his removal to Indianapolis, three years ago. s j William Middleton, of Connersville, arranging a conductor at the corner of his house during a shower, a few days ago, received a slight stroke of lightning, the electric fluid running from his knees down his limbs. He was paralyzed for some time after he was picked up, and was severely scorched. While Mrs. Price Powers, of Granville, was driving near the crossing of the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati A Louisville railroad, her horse became frightened at an approaching freight train and ran away. The buggy upset and threw Mrs. Powers in front of the train, but wijji remarkable presence of mind she rolled off the track just in time to avoid being caught by the engine.

J‘MEs Berby has brought a suit for malpractice against Dr. Victor Caillot, of Argos, asking for to,ooo damages Some time last summer, while the L MAD. Construction Company were building portions of the New York, Chicago A St. Louis railroad, Berry was badly hurt in a wreck at Argos Caillot was the attending surgeon, but, as the plaintiff alleges, he lacked skill, and by reason of this Berry’s injuries have left him a cripple for life, for which he asks damages A block of burial lots in Springdale cemetery’, given by the city of Madison, to A. O. Bachman Post, G. A. R., was formally presented the other afternoon to that organization by Mayor Samuel J. Smith, on behalf of the citizens, in a neat and appropriate speech, and was accepted by Colonel C, F. Whitsit, cemmander of the post, in a befitting manner, after which he proceeded to dedicate the lot for the purposes for which it had been donated by the city in a very impressive manner. A chattel-mobtgage was filed for record at Indianapolis, executed by V. M. Bachur A Co., carriage manufacturers, to the First National Bank, to secure a note drawn April 28 for $12,000, and made payable four months after date. The inventory shows that one mortgage covers personal property aggregating $17,824. From other sources it is learned that A. Burdsal, George K. Shore, W. J. Holiday, and Albert Gall, wholesale dealers here, all creditors, have, joined with the bank, and have purchased or taken • charge of the assets with a view of winding up the business. There are other creditors not included with the above, hut mostly for small amounts. It is estimated that a complete invoice will show assets in excess of $20,000, while the claims include about SB,000 outside of the amount above noted. Quite a sensation was caused at Wabash, the other day,by the announcement that half adozen well-known residents of that county had been made defendants in a suit brought by the United States against the bondsmen of John D. Miles, a Kickapoo Indian agency years ago. Miles was a citizen of Wabash, and upon securing the appointment at the Kickapoo agency he gave a heavy bond, with Wm. Jones, Benjamin Miles, Enoch G. Thomas, D. R. Ridgeway. Joseph Teague, Nathaniel Macy, Jame Coppock, Jonathan Wilson, as sureties But two or three of the above are responsible financially, the others having died, moved away or met with pecuniary reverses. With two exceptions all are Quakers, Miles himself being a member of that denomination. It seems that at the March. 1876. settlement the Government had with Miles, there was a balance due of SB,OOO. This has not been paid, and the demand is made to cover this I sum. with interest, amounting to over $4,000 As Miles has down high and borne the repu- • tation of being wealthy, the suit comes like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. The I defendants, it is understood, will make a i rigorous contest

Jacob Wn.ER, a saloon-keeper of Peru Ind., shot himself through the heart, in anticipation of some obligations coming dua which he was unable to meet At the recent session of the Northern Indiana Christian Ministerial Association a resolution was passed pledging the members anew to the support of the temperance cause. Charles Curtis and Joseph Graynear, beieved to lie from Chicago, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of pocket-picking, at Lafayette, and were given three years each in the Northern penitentiary. Mr. Jones Tries to Stop a Cat Concert Jones has bought a revolver. The way it happened was this: There has been a male cat with a big bass voice serenading the neighborhood for the past week, making it impossible to sleep, and equally impossible to stay awake without becoming a raving maniac, and if Jones had said it once be had said a hundred times, ”I’ll shoot that cat,’’till finally Mrs. Jones reminded him that the bootjack was the only shooting iron he possessed, and that had been fired long ago. So he went down town and bought a revolver. Now what Jones knows about revolvers is even less than what H. G. knew about farming, but when he came home to supper last Thursday night he called the family into the hall and took the revolver out of his overcoat pocket, and was about to hand it to Mrs. Jones for inspection, when the whole family shrieked in chorus: “Is it loaded ?” “No,” said Jones, “never has been loaded.” “Fly for your lives, children,” said Mrs. Jones, and they rushed up-stairs and locked themselves in. “Well, if ever I saw such idiots!” remarked Jones, looking down the muzzle of the pistol to see if it needed cleaning. It came near being the last remark he ever made on any subject. A bullet lodged in the ceiling as he ; spoke, and, but for the screams that asj sailed him up-stairs, Jones would have i been certain that he had murdered the whole family. As soon as they learned that the pistol was really loaded, then all came down smiling and cheerfly. No one had ever heard of a loaded pistol doing any damage. That night they prepared to slay the cat. Willie and Johnnie were allowed to sit up to see the fur fly, and they stood valiantly behind their pa as he framed himself in the window and waited. It was bright moonlight; Mrs. Jones sat with her head under the bedclothes and said, “Call me when it’s all over,” and they waited for the feline to j take up the line of march along the ' back-yard fence. It seemed a cruel tiling to deliberately set out to murder a cat in cold blqod, but, like Macbeth, it had murdered sleep and made itself disliked in that community. It came, it had struck the first note of its usual I serenade, with the vigor and force I which a love-sick cat is famed for, when pop— blaze—scat—shrieks —m-e-o-w in i a grand conglomeration of sounds rent the air—the cat was safe on the woodj shed of the next house, the ball grazed I the elbow of a policeman two blocks away, passed through the hat of an un- , offending citizen, and buried itself in the sidewalk. The rest of the pistol has not yet been found. The cat still lives. — Detroit Post. Landlord Tim. We possessed a landlord once in our j pleasant little Canadian village, and the said landlord was witty and harmless, ; but was an inveterate “exaggerator.” Stranger or friend were pleasantly entertained of an evening by listening to his impossible, though truthfully told, yai ns, aud many a guest felt he received his money’s worth of combustible chin, j besides his board thrown in. He would ■ tell about feeding bushels of corn to a wild goose that daily visited his father’s I “lower farm,” and at last, shooting it %'ith a rifle, found half of the bullet on ; either side, split by the breast-bone. Beautifully would he relate his favorite, a pigeon yarn. Noticing hundreds of i this game in a tree one day, and having only a rifle he was sorely perplexed as to the best means of making a fruitful discharge. Brains brought into requiI sition so plentifully his head ached, ' quickly set him clear. Choosing the fullest limb, he fired, splitting it and ! the bullet passed through the limb, their toes dropped in and held them fast. While sawing off the limb it suddenly broke and let pigeons and all into a stream below. When he reached the shore again be had ninety-seven pigeons in his ham •11 a peck of small fish in I his boots. “Tim,” said Henderson, a newcomer, one night after Tim had finished his imaginative triumph, “Tim, I shot at j some pigeons years ago; I had as good i a double-barreled gun as was ever made, , and I saw clouds of pigeons on the I ground not more than twenty-five yards away. I let go both barrels at the same | time, and how many do you suppose I j killed?” “Did yon say you had a shot-gun ?” | inquired Tim. “Yes, sir, double-barreled and a good I one.” “Oh, I don’t know,” said Tim, thoughtfully; “say 200." “jfo, sir,” said Henderson, with an air of satisfied expectancy, “no, sir, not a single one I”— Detroit Free Press. First Glimpse or Holland. A very large opal or the inside of a mother-of-pearl shell would make a good background for this thin strip of distant Holland that lies blinking away in the early morning light. A long, nari row ribbon of a picture it makes, with its little spots and dots and splashes of color here and there, accidental here and methodical there, as if part of a pattern. By carefully looking through ’ a glass these dots of various shapes and sizes soon resolve themselves into windi mills, cows, sheep, Dutchmen, churches 1 and steeples, and little red-tiled houses with green or blue shutters. Ido not pretend that this is a peculiar or striking instance of the first glimpse of a i ! foreign strand consisting of cows, wind- ' mills, and steeples —I know of other such places—but I contend that the . Dutch sand slip is cleaner, the cows are ; sleeker and fatter, the windmills more . jaunty and active, the cottages more I spick and span and more recently out , of a toy box, the specks of humanity mor rotund and well-to-do. Never, except on some other strip of Dutch strand, will you see just such specks as these. And as we draw nearer the shore, and the bits of color take more ' definite form, there is no mistake—this ‘ is Holland, and no other land at all.— George H. Broughton, in Harper’s Maaazine. > . ; There is a deal of sound common > sense in the proverb, “The shortest j answer is doing the thing.”

FARM NOTFX An exchange says parsnips Should he' planted in large quantities On every farm. They are quite hardy and have j no enemies, and are the only root which will fatten a pig without anything else. In addition to these facts, they make i the best butter and cheese, and are the best of all roots for every kind of crop. Thebe are said to be fifty injurious insects in our vegetable gardens; fifty j in our vineyards, while seventy-five at- ; tack our apple trees, and more than ! fifty our grain fields. Seventy-five million dollars is estimated as the damage done to the wheat in Illinois in one ; season, and nearly ten years ago the i annual loss in the United States from ■ insect depredations alone was estimated at nearly $400,000,000. It is a well-known fact that trees | along highways, trees in towns and ; cities, trees in groves amidst agricultu* 1 ral regions render the atmosphere I purer. They, by theif foliage, absorb hurtful gases, which would other wise ; be breathed by the inhabitants of the densely-populated cities, thereby modifying diseases, lessening the dangers of j epidemics, and in all ways improving the healthfulness of communities. A legacy of the war in Georgia is a plant called by the people Egyptian cloves-. It is very hardy, kills out weeds and other forage plants, is highly esteemed by stock and affords abundant pasturage where nothing else will grow. If unmolested it will of itself take posse sion of a field and produce a sod,- I requiring no seeding, cultivation or at- I tention of any kind. So says a South- j ern paper, and, if true, the plant is a valuable one. The editor of an Eastern agricultural j journal, says: “In the course of a ride of five miles, in a good farming county ' in Massachusetts, we saw three mowing I machines standing out in the snow, just where their careless owners left them ■when they got through using them last ' summer. If we were making or sell- j ing mowing machines, we should be tickled to death when we saw the farmers rusting out their tools more in one winter than they could wear them out in three summers.” It is the observation of the St. Louis Journal of Agriculture and Farmer that “the greater part of the soil of England has been under cultivation for 1,000 years, and yet the land is richer and the crops more prolific than they were 1,000 years ago. Why, then, ; should so many thousands of acres in I many sections of this country have become so greatly deteriorated in pro- | ductiveness in a comparatively few years? Careless and unskilled culture must necessarily be the answer." . More farm machinery is injured by j needless exposure to weather than by use. A machine that will last ten years | with careful housing will be ruined in . three seasons if left out during the winter season. A coat of paint, first well oiling woodwork, will greatly add to the durability of farm implements. Every farmer should procure some paint and learn to use the brush during ; leisure hours. This especially import- ’ ant in the case of w agons, which need repainting, at least so far as the wheels are concerned, every spring. The Langshaws are black in plumage, with a beautiful beetle-green luster. They greatly resemble black Cochins, but are more active, and mature earlier. They seem to fill an intermediate place between the setters and the non-setters, as they are rather constant layers and easily broken when desiring to set. In size they are nearly, if not quite, as large as the Brahmas, and the pullets often begin to lay when 6 months old. The chicks grow fast, feather from the start and are very hardy. Asa breed they compare favorably with any of the others. Mb. Joseph Lawrence, in the Country Gentleman,, states that his herd of Jersey cows, numbering fifty, does not net him more than S4O each in the best of years, and that a good-sized animal can not be fed for less than SOO a year. About 250 pounds of butter per year is a good average yield for a herd, which, at 40 cents a pound, is SIOO. The record of Mr. Lawrence’s herd is very near the average of most farmers, but individual cows often give as high as 500 pounds in a year. Five pounds a week, as above, is not a bad showing for every week in the year. Concerning cows and steers, the form of the feet is an indication of the nature of the place in which the animal has j been reared. In stony regions the hoof grows round and wears away; on the contrary, in soft, moist and marshy districts the hoofs lengthen and flatten out, and the same effect is produced by confinement co the stable. The round hoof is a very desireabl quality. Continued stall feeding renders the feet so tender that after some years the animal j can take no exercise, nor even comfort- ’ ably travel over the pasture. The foot grows long and thick, and the creature - is entirely unfitted for work or for driv- I ing to any distance. Before he can be successful in making the best better by crossing, the experimenter must l>e thoroughly acquainted wish h's wheats in every respect. Should he wish an offspring with harder grain than either of its parents, with stronger straw, etc., he must cross varieties that possess elements that will make them so in proper proportions. For instance, should he cross a hard, flinty wheat, that makes very poor flour, but has fine st aw and graik well-cl< thed, upon a smooth, wean-strawed wheat with fine grain, the offspring, the first year after crossing. will l»e of all colors, shapes and qualities —a diversity of forms. The heals will be of various lengths—some bearded, and some smooth, some poorer in every respect, and some far superior, to all outward appearances. After the crossing, and after the first crop is ripe in the field, selection begins. In the first place the best heads are picked that are found on the best straw and possess the best chaff; next, after shelling, head by head, the best kernels are taken, just as the stockman selects his best pig, pup or chicken, to breed from. Now, it may l>e, and often is the case, that none of these offspring are worthy, or as good as either parent; if so, try again and again until success attends your efforts. If the proper rules are observed success is sure to follow, at least in half the trials made by an -x---perienced hand.— Prof. Blount, in Agricultural Review. HOUSEKEEPERS' HELPS Pickle Sauce.—Add to half a pint ; of drawn-butter sauce three table- \ spoonfuls of pickled cucumbers, minced | fine.

Teeth Injured by Tobacco. I was taught that the use of tobacco in any form was not injurious to the teeth, and in all the literature of the profession I have found nothing alluding to what I desire to present to the profession, namely, the evil effects upon the teeth caused by the constant use of tobacco. My attention was first drawn to this evil one year ago this month, when I was filling the teeth of a patient who has for years been in the habit of smoking and chewing a great deal of tobacco. The injurious effects are not very noticeable until the person has been using the weed for about fifteen years, but the use of the pipe to excess will show its injurious effects in less time. Tobacco chewing is the most injurious, as the tobacco acts as an irritant in two ways, mechanically and by its properties—mechanically by particles of the tobacco being forced between the gums and the teeth. We have proofs of tha irritable effects of tobacco in snuff. Tha direct effect of using tobacco is the recession of the gums of all the teeth, but more especially those on the side of tha mouth used most in chewing the tobacco. The sequel to this recession I may cause the loss of one or more teeth, ; by a diseased condition of the pulp, resulting from its being irritated by having the neck of the tooth and tha root exposed to thermal change" in food and in the air we breathe. Exostosis and calcification may result. Tobacco chewers’ teeth wear away on the grinding surface rapidly, caused by I the gritty substances naturally entering i into the tobacco. The gums recede ! and are red and congested, and underI neath the gum a narrow line of dark tartar is nearly always present, and I particles may be found still further toward the apex of the tooth.—Southern Dental Journal. The Lost Bean Stew. Every Yankee is supposed to be fond of baked beans. During our civil war the New England regiments, when in camp, were loyal to the ancient custom which provided baked beans for tha Saturday-night supper and the Sundaymorning breakfast. On the march the I boys had to be satisfied with stewed beans, for the bivouac did not admit of building an oven or the digging of a pit wherein to bake them. At the battle of Fisher’s Hill an an.using illustration of a Y’ankee's devotion to his beans occurred. The color sergeant of the Fourteenth New Hamp- ! shire was noted for his bravery and fondness for stewed beans flavored with vinegar. During the afternoon, while preparations were going on for the advance which won the field, the color-sergeant was stewing his beans. He had just taken the kettle off the fire and, spoon in hand, was about dining, when he heard the orders: “Fallin! Fall in! Forward, march!” He would not desert the flag, he could not abandon his savory meal. Tying the steaming, sooty pail to his belt, he took his place in the center of the line, bore aloft the colors and advanced with his regiment to the charge. He kept one eye on the enemy and the other on the dangling pail at his side. The battle was won, but the boys declared that the way of the Fourteenth was literally strewn with beans. Fbom ten to twelve thousand tons of salt have been gathered along the j shores of the Great Salt lake this seai son. There is a large surplus of comI mon salt left over from last year, and i this caused a gathering of a less amount ; i than usual.
