GREAT FOUNDATIONS AT THE WEsT.-
Accounts from the West are exceedingly
gloomy. The Wisconsin River is very
high a large portion of Fort Winnebago
is inundated. This rise has not reached
so far as the junction of the Wisconsin with
the Mississippi. Several Touring mills at
Peoria have been swept away. The river
above st. Paul is still rising, The tributa-
rles OF the Mississippi in Iowa are greatly
swollen, and much damage has already been
sustained. The Mississippi itself, at that
point, is within Is inches of the great food
OF 1914, and was still rising, At Hanni-
bal, on the 29th, the river was rising, and
was six miles wide upon an average, from
Z miles above to SO miles below that point.
The destruction of property is immense
through the whole of that distance.
QUICK WoRK.-A man in Decatur coun-
ty, Ia, who had sold his farm and received
payment in bank bills, tied the bills up in
the corner of a quilt, which he threw into
his wagon among some straw. Having
occasion to leave the wagon for a moment,
he laid down his lighted pipe, and when he
come back, the straw, quilt, and farm had
disappeared in blaze.
On Wednesday week, IL terrific hail storm
passed over Dinwiddie county, Va. The
stones were as large as partridge's eggs,
and fell in some places five inches Deep
In Prince George county, it is said, the
hail fell to the depth of two feet The
storm has caused great injury to the crops.
A YANKEE LoCKsMITH AT THE WORLDS
FA1R.-A correspondent of the San, writ
ing from London, says: "Mr. Hobbs, a
Yankee from Baltimore-the noted lock-
picker is here he has with him a lock
which have examined, and offers a reward
Of one thousand dollars to any one who
can open it without key, and also has
given out he will put down a thousand dol
lars that he will open any lock in the king
dom, without ii key. | was very much
pleased with his modest and quiet assurance

HoHRID DEATH.--We never heard of a
more horrid death than that by which Mr..
Lemuel Woodward, a farmer of PlainGeld,
Conn, and worth half a million dollars,
came to his end on Sunday morning, May
25th, while sailing some young cattle upon
one of his farms, as is the New England
custom, He was probably killed by a two
year old heifer, giving him a fatal wound
in the breast and another in the groin, as
her horns were found bloody. After the
attack he appears to have climbed upon a
rock for protection, but fell off from weak
ness, or was pushed off by the heifer. Thus
his son.in-Iaw, Mr.. Gallup, found him; but
while he vent for assistance, the other cat
( tie, having scented the blood, gathered
. about the corpse, trampled it into the earth.
t and tossed and gored it until recognition
was scarcely possible. 1t is difficult to i'm.
agine what could have caused the attack
|. on the part of the heifer.-Etchange.
: Bones DIsCovERED.-The fossil remains 0
Y some large animal which it is believed has NJ
# representative liveing nowadays were found re
Gently on the bank of the Arkansas River, nea
!, the mouth of Skin Bayou. The head is very large
Il and the teeth indicate the creature 10 have bee
of the carniVerous order.
y ETHER AND DENTIsTRY.-The discovery {
y the pain destroying qualities of Sulphurine Eth
n made a few years since by DR.. Morton, No.
fremont Row, is undoubtedly the greatest, thu
" not the only one that has been contributed t
= the art of Dentistry by this talented gentleman
We understand that he has lately establishe
an Artificial Tooth Mandatory in the vicinit
l. of Boston, on a grand scale, by means of whic
he is enabled to furnish his customers with tt
most perfect kind of workmanship, atmore rea'
le enable rates than any of his competitors. u
