rADDy.s FERTILITY IN COMPLIMENT.

Sheridan was out shooting with an Irish
servant, and being bad shot, missed his
birds frequently. The attendant, however,
managed to compliment him on every shot,
thus = Shot the lst (the birds all getting
away )-"Mnre power to your honor! Did
you see one little fellew drop his legs as he
went off? He'll never stand on his tin toes
agsin!" Shot ID (ditto) o)-"Tare an ages,
there they go! But didn't yer honor hear
the shot rattle among them like pase agin
a windey9 They'll pray never to see yer
honor again on this side Of the country"
Shot Sd (birds all off gain)-"Thunder

divil wink of sleep they will get this

Shot 5th "a snipe gets oh)-"Bother you
may cry crake, my fine felow-you may
take your long hill to the other world
You'll wake tomorrow morning with a
lumbago in your soft head" Poor Sheridan
could stand this no longer, but gave his
countryman fee for his ingenuity, and
proceeded on his beat alone.

The War.

The New York papers are specializing upon
the question of the United States being drawn
into the conflict which at present threatens
Europe. The Tribune thinks that, should
Great Britain take part in the war, and insist
upon her old policy of mpressing seamen
from American vessels to man her navy, the
inevitable result would be collision with the
United States; but it is most likely that the
practice of impressment will be abandoned
altogether. The HeraM has the following
upon the subject of the war:
In such contest it is even supposed that
the United States cannot avoid taking part.
The French Minister at Washington is
reported to have recently expressed such Il
belief, and even to have added that 1.-THE
Emperor had IL sure scheme for that" We
do not entertain the slightest idea that Louis
Napoleon can draw us as an ally into his
schemes for revising the treaties of Vienna
about wnich we do not care fig nor do we
sure scheme for drawing us into the contest
against him. lie may entertain the same
belief his uncle did on this point. When the
coalition was formed against him, Napoleon
said to the American Minister at Paris, "You
will be drawn in; you cannot avoid it; do
not care which side you take, but | wish to
know where you stand" Then followed the
paper blockade" by England, the retaliatory
measures of the Berlin and Milan DEGREES, and
the "Orders in Council" which did draw us
in. First came the Embargo, and finally the
war with England

Primary Meetings.

The meetings to elect delegates to the
County Convention on the 18th of June,
will be held on the 4th Of June. Many far
mers will doubtless be busy and disinclined
to leave their work, but we hope that they
will not allow this or any other engagement
to deter them from going to the primary
meetings and taking pains to select men who
will certainly come up to the County Con-
vention. There never can be too many APP
pointed to these Conventions of the right
kind Of men. 1t makes no matter how many
votes township is entitled to in convcn-
ton; she can send as many delegates as she
chooses, and the more the better. Although
the convention in juno is only for the pur-
pose of choosing delegates to the State Con-
vention, it is still an important convention.
it will afford an opportunity to members of
the party from all parts of the county to
consult as to its best interests and over
plans Of action for the fall election. Let our
friends then strain a point even, if necessary,
to come up and have a general conference.

have been out among the miners in the
Spanish diggings, which are about three miles
south of this place. These mines are all
bosh. Taking everything into consideration,
they will not pay. They are from fifty to
one hundred yards from water, and they have
to dig through from six to eight feet Of surface
dirt. The dirt pays from halfccnt to three
cents to the pan. The miners said they could
make, by hard work, 90 cents to $500 per
day. Counting provisions at the prices they
are worth here, man cannot make so cents
per day clear Of all expenses. Flour is worth
$500 z 100 TBS. bacon, Is cts. p To. :;
butter, rs cts; nails, 80 to Is cts; sugar
and coffee, so cts. and everything in pro-
portion. There is but very little money in
the place, and nothing going on. There are
hundreds of men here that would be glad to
work for their board, but they can't get such
a chance. There are many going back to the
States who are sure to suffer 1t is hard to
tell how things will turn out here; but the
most of the emigration have seen "the
elephant"
This is the poorest country that crow
ever flew over. No soil covered with coarse
red gravel-nothing of any consequence grows
on the prairies but cactus-no timber that is
worth mentioning. do not understand why
people here have written back such favorable
letters to the States, they not knowing any
thing about the richness of the mines.
Stock of all kinds is worth little or moth
ing in comparison with its value in the
States. Cattle here are worth $50 to $50 per
yoke; horses and mules-nonc selling. All
who have come out here with the expectation
of making money will return sadly disap-
pointed. r. L. SUMNER.

Terrific Storm ut iowa City.
EIGHT LIVES LOST i!

1t appears that the threatening aspect Of
the sky on Tuesday evening last was not
without the most serious significance. In
the vicinity of Iowa City the storm ragged
with unprecedented violence, causing the
death of persons and doing an immense
amount of damage to property. A number
of persons were seriously wounded, and
some cattle killed. The scene was calculat-
ed to awe the stoutest heart. The following
particulars we are indebted for to letter
from MIR. P. Musser, (of Musser Il Coz re-
siding in Iowa City, to his brother in this
city:
81 have sad news to communicate. Jesse
Berry was killed in his barn last evening
(24th), at o'clock. There were two other
men in the barn at the time-one of them is
badly hurt the other escaped uninjured
The storm blew the barn and house down.
Berry's son, Henry, was in the house with
three others-Henry is hurt so much that
the doctor thinks he cannot live. Another
person had an arm broken and his house and
barn laid level with their foundation.
Henry Flickinger, on a visit to Berry's,
was in the corn-crib when the storm began.
Finding it about to fall he ran out in the
face OF the wind in its greatest fury. He
was Instantly dashed to the ground and
tossed about like IN India-rubber ball un-
til he succeeded to get hold of fence-post
to which he chung until the storm was over.
A minute more it must have killed him his
eyes and mouth were full of dirt, so that
he could not see and hardly breathe.
Old man Morgan's house is down also !;
himself and two sons killed, and his wife
had her thigh broken. In Ben Graham 8
house five persons were seriously hurt; sew
eral, perhaps to die. His house is wreck /;
three other houses are down, one man killed
and or badly hurt.
l was out last night and assisted to bring
Berry home. Such destruction of proper
ty never before saw the damage done to
Berry's farm alone cannot fall short of
$3,oo0p
The Iowa City Republican, in an Extra of
the 25th, has an account that confirms the
above, but gives nothing really additional.
In the present excitement it is impossible
to ascertain with absolute accuracy the full
extent of injuries inflicted; the number of
deaths will, probably, fall short Of what is
currently reported. The storm commenced
its path of destruction some two miles from
town and progressing in Southeast direc-
ton expended its force, it is thought, at or
near the Seven mile House.
