~- The "hard times" which

EH The "hard times" which are
spoken of in all quarters of the country are
not yet so far gone by as many would be
pleased to flatter themselves. The brisk
activity of '55, '56 and 81 have not yet re-
turned, nor will they in a moment, yet We
are Of the opinion that We are much better
off here than many of our sister cities; and
that our commerce is suffering to a much
less extent, than would be supposed from
hearing the pitiful stories of those who
make hard times plea to cover up short
comings. In order that We may successful
ly bear up under the we ght of misfortune
1t hehooves oil citizens to make the best Of
the circumstances under which they are
placed say little or nothing about hard
times" but grapple with strong hearts and
willing hands the slight evils which seem
to beset us, and instead Of ropping the la
boring oar and looking back at the smooth
sea over which We have been gliding, clutch
it the more firmly with an increased resolu-
tion that whatever obstacles we may meet,
to surmount them. The past has fled; the
present is here, and the future is before us
and while we hope for good times, let all pre-.
pare for the worst. The advice of a good
general is not to count on the weakness OF
the enemy, but on his strength, and make
all preparations accordingly. BY such
management we shall accomplish great
things for for ourselves and do much for the
good name of our fourishing city.

THE GREAT TORNADO.
LATEST PARTICULARS.


We learn 'h- following in regard to the
great storm on Thursday night, in addition
to the particulars published on the inside
Of our paper to-day
At Lexington the passengers of the crush
ed railroad train could find no shelter, for
eecry house in the village had been unroofed
by the tornado which lasted about half an
hour. The conductor then took hand ear,
and started for Bloomington, distance of
eighteen miles Within this space, fourteen
trees were found across the track But the
track was cleared, the train and hail still
pouring down, in about two hours A
freight train came along, which took the pas
sengers, in the freight cars, to Lexington,
where they remained boxed up, until the
l:45, A. II. express train from St Louis.
GILMAN STATION.
At Gilman Station, the intersection Of the
Peoria and Oqawka with the Illinois Cen
trail, buildings and lumber yards seemed to
take unto themselves the wings usually ac-
credited to riches, and by a singular agree
ment between the different portions of this
flying rubbish, the place of deposit was
very generally the track Of the road, upon
which was piled at different points, con-
fused mass of building material and lumber
in pretty much disrevelled condition.
MONMOUTH.
At Monmouth, in Warren county, the
tornado was severe and much damage was
done in a small way. The roof timbers of
an unfinished building were carried into the
air, and descended upon the roof of store
and passing down through the cellar, and
en routs injuriug severely though not fatally
a man in the store.
At Kewanee, we learn, that the storm
was quite severe, but no material damage
done in the village Several houses on the
prairie in the vicinity, were blown down
RusHNELL.
Here there was a great deal of hail, but
remaining in the whole town.
PEORIA JUNCTION.
We learn that this small town was al
most entirely swept down by the tornado.
PRAIRIE CITY.
Here the wind blew very hard and tore
away the gangways Of the Il. r. Freight
4 4
down the Academy.
From Prairie City, Avon. and Wataga,
we hear of injury done to warehouses and
other structure
At Cameron, wooden dwelling with its
inmates were lifted bodily iuto the air, from
its foundation but set down less easily than
could have been desired, pretty much using
up the structure. No one was injured.
