The bug, upon being doused, falls from

This is very simple remedy, and one

A Fearful Storm Great Damage
Done.-The severest storm of wind and
rain that ever visited this part of Iowa,
within our knowledge, held its wild
carnival last Friday evening. The storm
came from the south, and struck the
town about seven o'clock, and ragged
with great violence for fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes. The wind howled like fall
ing cataracts; the rain came down in
one great, black sheet; the air was i'm
pregnated with flying boards, signs,
bushes, sticks; the lightning flashed
with binding brightness, and the thun-
der reverberated in deafening echoes
The scene was awful and sublime
Great trees that had withstood the
storms of a century were twisted off
like dry splipters, and heavy rail fences
were tossed in the air like dead leaves
in autumn. About half the signs stand
ing east and west on Main street were
torn down. The board awning, at
Hotchkiss' grocery store, was swept
away, and in falling broke in the north
window at Trowbridge's boot and shoe
store. All over town people We're hold
ing windows and doors to keep them
from coming in, half expected all the
while that the roof would go off from
over their heads. Quite q number of
fine shade trees and fruit trees were de-
stroyed. Outhouses joined in the hop,
jumped fences, chose partners and
swung, regardless Of bad character
| The new barn on G. n. Miners place,
south part Of town, was moved bodily
about six inches on its foundation. The
Baptist Church was pretty severely test
ed, and when the storm subsidized was
standing considerably out of plumb; it
has settled back. however, very much
since, The steeple OH the Methodist
Church came very near going. 1t was
sprung loose at the base of the second
division and raised about four inches
We understand that this can be settled
back and repaired at small expense.
There had been neglect to bolt the tim
bers. Mr.. Peter Hoagland, just as the
storm broke, drove his team under the
large shed at Watson's stable on Third
street. He had no more than got under
than away went the east half of the
roof; but, fortunately, the wind was
strong enough to carry it all over him.
Some of the boards struck Mrs. Knowles |
house, broke in a window and tore off
some of the siding. neN e 81
g AT JANESVILLE-MAN KILLED
At GAINESVILLE Mr.. Geo. Mowery was
killed by the falling of his stable. He
and his daughter were coming from the |
field to escape the storm. Mr.. Mowery
stopped to put his horse in the stable,
but being urged by his daughter who
preceded him short distance not to do I
lit, he started on for the house. The |
wind just then took the stable, one half |
of the roof and one side of which fell |
on Mr.. Mowery, crushing him to the
earth. The daughter, married lady
whose husband is in tie army, exerted
herself to the utmost to extricate her
father, but without avail. She then
fastened to the nearest neighbor, who
left his own house expecting every mo-
ment that it would fall, and with his
assistance, after considerable effort, the
unfortunate man was taken out. He
was dead, however, having been liter
ally fattened between the roof and the
ground. He was very large man,
weighing two hundred and twenty
pounds. A large amount of his fence
was blown down, which the neighbors
turned out and put up on the following
day to secure his crops.
AT NEW HARTFORD.
The roof was blown off of the new
depot building at New Hartford. Two
Irish shanties Were blown down flat
with the ground. We have not heard,
however, that any one suffered personal
injury. I
MT. VERNON.
Joel Hyzer, Harrison Allen and Har-
rison Fisher of Mt. Vernon township
each had a new frame blown down. Mr..
Aliens cabin, in which he lived was
also blown down. No one injured.
WASHINGTON.
Half of the roof was blown off of Mr..
F: Dayenport's house in Washing
ton township. The log house Of Mr..
Alfred Hosier, in the same township,
was blown down. No one injured.
ORANGE.l
The large sheep shed in Orange town
ship of VIM. III. Leavitt, of Waterloo,
was blown down. This shed was about
four hundred feet long by ten feet wide,
and was built of expensive material in
a neat and tasty manner. 1t is seri-
Gus loss to Mr.. Leayitt.
AT this writing we have heard of no
other damages of sufficient importance
to particularize. We presume, howev-
er, that the half has not been told. It
was fearful storm Ia terrible storm
the like Of Yhich it is to be hoped may
not visit US soon again. /
