traced from Fort Dodge, Iowa, to the north
eastern corner of Ottawa county, Michigan, a
distance Of -four Hundred and sy nsiles. At
Fl. Dodge and Webster City, the wind was
less furious than at other places, but the hail
and +. rain did. considerable damage. The
amount of property, destroyed in Hardin
county, including that at New Providence, is
estimated at over hundred thousand dollars.

misfortune In other towns, in the southern
portion of the county, much damage was also
done. At place called Pritchard's Grove,
the brick house of Mr.. Divine was blown into
a heap of ruins, and six persons, all members
of Mr.. DIS family, instantly killed. Two
other persons are reported killed in that
vicinity. A small place called Quebec, about
five miles west of New Providence, consisting
of some half dozen dwellings, is reported to
have been entirely Destroyed The Chicago

a DouBrruL. report that "a persons
were drowned from raft at Camanche by
the late storm is discredited by raftsmen
who have arrived in this Iity. The men
on board raft which stopped here on the
9Th declare that theirs was the only raft
within sight Of Camanshe when the storm
came up. The wind snapped the ropes by
which they. were tied to the shore and
carried me raft into the channel. They
state that as soon as they saw the storm
coming they jumped into the water and
supported themselves by holding to the pins
at the side of the raft till the danger had
passed, when they continued down the river.
The town, appeared to them to be all swept
away except Two houses. The report that
all the banda had been drowned from araft
probably originated from the fact that these
men disappeared in the above manner. These
raftsmen further. state that the air was filed
with falling timbsrs, turnilare, branches Of
trees, Ac., and their raft was tossed high in
the air on the waves which threatened to

ONIONS FOR KATTLESNAKE Bites
Perhaps it is not generally known that
raw onions applied to the part affected
by the bite Of rattlesnake, is a safe
and sure method Of extracting the poi
son from the system. -
A friend Of ours related to US the
following incident. His two little boys
-one of FIVE years, and the other of
seven or eight-were looking for cows
upon the prairie, when the younger Cne
was bitten by snake upon one Of his
legs, and when found, was unable to
walk, and the other boy was unable to
carry him home Every remedy known
or suggested, was tried without success,
until the leg was swollen to the body,
and the death of the little sufferer SEEM
ed inevitable. By mere accident the
onion remedy was suggested and ap-
piled, and in less than FIVE minutes the
poison stencil of the reptile had perva-
ded the atmosphere in tae house to
such an extent, that it became almost
impossible for the family to remain in
the house. The swelling and the pain
ceased, and although it was several
days before the swelling disappeared
entirely, yet the child was saved. The
onions upon the part affected should be
changed once in two or three minutes,
and will, during that time, assume a
greenish shade, caused, no doubt, by
the poison. They should, after being
removed from the bite, be buried in
the earth.-.North,oestern Farmer.

THE TOWN OF NEW PROVIDENCE
l7s ,sfzal IOWA, IN RUINS!

The tornado passed oyer Hardin Co., com
pletely destroying the fourishing town of New
Providence. The inhabitants, principally
Friends, were mostly absent, attending a
meeting at Bangor, ten miles distant. Many
persons were injured, a number Of them
mortally. Our informant was able to give us
the name Of only one of them, Edwin Dorland,
a youth, who was not expected to survive,
and is probably dead ere this. The house of
David Hunt, the Representative in the Legis-
lature from Hardin county, who was absent,
is among those destroyed. 1t is not known
whether this storm did any other injury in that
region. 1t probably did not, as there is an
extensive uninhabited prairie west of New
Providence, and one also on the east, in the
path of the storm. New Providence contains
about 1000 inhabitants. It is over $50 miles
northwest Of this city. asr. @ -gtsa

BELONGING TO THE MARvELoUS.-
The Lawrenceburg (Ind. } Republican
gives the following account of suicide
near that place, by Mr.. Joseph Grim
sley, of Sparta township :a4qloa = :
On Monday, the 14th of May, Jo.
seph Grimsley, son ofwidow Grimsley,
of Sparta township, in this county,
committed suicide by hanging himself,
in the woods near Gullitt's milL, $50 :
The circumstances, as relatedsto US,
are as follows: aa. la4 sysaGi
A brother of the deceased had been
Sick, and was supposed to bsinOa dy-
ing condition on Friday preceding the
suicide indeed, it was thought at one
time, that he was dead: For fifteen
minutes life seemed to be extinct, and
preparations were being made to lay
him out, when he revived, and as soon
as he could speak, told his friends he
had been to heaven; that he saw his
father there who had been dead some
three years, that he saw others Of his
relations, those who were dead !; and
that it was revealed to him that all his
family would finally reach Heaven, ex-
cepting his brother Joseph, and that he
was so wicked he would not reach there.
This was all told in the presence of
the deceased, who, from that hour, act
ed strangely, and during Saturday and
Sunday frequently talked to his sister
about dying, and as to the easiest mode
of taking ones life. The family we're
SO much engaged with the sick brother,
that not much attention was paid to the
conduct Of the deceased. .
Finally, on Monday, he left the
house, and never returned. Search
was instituted, but nothing was found
Of him until Saturday, when two men
(Mr. Ward and Mr.. SIicknell, who
were hunting for game, accidentally
discovered him, suspended by the neck
from pole which had fallen across a
deep ravine.
An inquest was held on the body on
Sunday, and verdict rendered in ac-
cordance with the above facts.
The sick brother of the deceased
died on Saturday last. ..a

WHAT BUCHANAN PAID THE NEW YoRK
HERALD.-It is well remembered that the
New York Herald opposed Buchanan in his
canvass, and advocated Fremont. 1t was so
hard upon the old sinner that he wanted
somebody to cut Benefits ears of, to make
him some souse! After the election, however,
he changed his tactics. He wanted the
Herald to help cover the rascalities of his
administration. The editor of the Knoxville
Whig. writing from Washington, says: ..
"Forney testifies that Buchanan stipulated
with Bennett, of the Herald, to give HIM ten
thousand dollars per year, for the four years
Of his administration, to support and defend
him. Forney says the contract was made
with Bennett by him, before himself and
Buchanan fell out. "a 1t was, no doubt, to meet
these payments that poor Fowler was drawn
upon. What an unmitigated pack of thieves! |!
