60 An inquisitive Yankee was standing
ut q tavern door, in the lower part of Jer-
sey, watching a funeral pass by. At the
head of it was large manure cart moving
along very slowly, and making no effort to
turn out for the procession. The Yankee
was astonished at this want of attention on
the part of the driver Of said cart, and turn
ing to Philadelphia who was standing
by, he remarked:
III guess the folks amt very perlite abeout
heer; tn hum, where I live, they always
turn eout for a funeral"
ooh, that's part of the procession -
said the Philcdelphian, gravely.
"Du tell! Yeou don't say so! Heow?"
"Why, you see, it is very poor, sandy,
soil about here, and nothing comes up they
plant, unless they manure it we'll; so, when
they bury fellow, they throw a whole cart
load in the grave, to make him rise at the
judgment day!''

40 WIND.
Seen after the great tornado had passed
over this section Of the country, in giving
accounts of it devastatisns and other effects,
ws mentioned that farm house near Che
noa, in Mclean county, was lifted BY the
wind and carried three hundred feet over
the prairie without disturbing the dishes on
the table which had just been prepared for
supper. Although the story sxas we'll su-
thenticated it was Of such a marvellous
character that We found it, in common with
others, difficult to believe. While stopping
at Chsnoa waiting for the cars few days
since, We had an opportunity of seeing the
house and making inquiries about the mat
ter, We found the story which had been
published, fully substantiated. The house,
quite large story and half wooden struc-
ture, stood upon swell of the prairie, Gov
cred with growth Of small shade trees, and
was surrounded with out houses. The
family, consisting of four persons, were
about sitting down to their supper when the
tornado came sweeping along. The house
was lifted from its foundation in an instant
and went sailing through the Dir with the
family, furniture, chimneys, supper, &C., all
on board. Twice during the perilous pas
sage it struck the ground, but so lightly as to
jar only one plate from tho supper table,
which, was not broken in its fall. When
the storm had passed it was found that the
house had been carried distance Of about
three hundred feet from its foundations
Nothing in it had been disturned-not even
the dishes upon the table-and when the
family had recovered from the fright, they
sat down and quietly ate their supper as
usual.-PeoriG TrdnscriDf.
