A FEARFUL TORNADO!
CHEAT DESTRUCTION OF PROP
ERTY AND CROPS.

A terrific whirlwind swept through
the Southern part Of Fairbank and
Hazlcton townships, on Wednesday
afternoon the cath inst, at four O'clock.
We have been enabled to gather only
! incidental data Of the damage sustain
ed by property and the growing crops,
but have learned sufficient to warrant
us in the assertion that no such intlic-
tion has visited the county for many
years. The whirlwind seems TO have
gathered near the river and to have
swept in direction little south Of
cast. At Kier post-oflicc. it destroyed
valuable orchard. and fields of wheat
and corn. belonging to Mr.. Sellers, to-
gethcr with all the fences in its path.
A large pile Of thrush. which was lying
on the west side Of Mr.. Sellers corn
field. was driven entirely across the
field, utterly running the crop. The
loss is severe on Mr., Sellers. Mr..
Walker, the postmaster, had corn.
field partially prostrated. Theodore
Dodge lost the kitchen attachment to
his house, together with cookstovc
and other household articles. The
whole upper story Of David Agnew's
house was swept away, together with
beds, bedding and furniture. No por-
ton Of the bedding has been found.
Joseph Sprague's frame house was to-
tally destroyed, with every breakable
thing in it. Fortunately the family
were all absent, and escaped injury.
All the above suffered severly in dam
age to their crops. The path Of the
tornado varied in width from thirty
rods to half mile. Its whole course
is marked by the prostration Of trees,
fences and crops. The corn and small
err grains will partially recover and
yield fair crop, although exceptional
fields are about totally ruined. Meth
er hail nor rain accompanied the wind.
The rain at Fairbank, however was
very heavy, we have not learned
when the tornado ceased its work, but
hope to be able to give fuller par,icu-
lars next week.

little volume with the title of NED. Nsv.

drawn from his own experience and observa.

nearly all the characters arc taken from real

That scamp Of an editor who wanted me
to make an apology for not being willing to
regard Davenport as equal to Cincinnati or

an apology for reporting me in "feeble

ANOTHER RAILROAD NEEDED.

There is now a reasonable prospect that
the Muscatine, Upton 4 Anamosa railroad
will be built. Our readers will find in an>
other place an extract from tine Muscatinc
Journal, showing the condition Of the work
The natural continuation OF this road would
be up the Wapsy valley, trayersing this
county from southeast 10 north west, and
taking in its course Quasque.on, lndepen>
dence aud Fairbank. Even though the road
were built only to this city, it would prove
OF immense advantage to Buchanan, Linn
and Delaware counties. II is well known
that with proper arrangements for trans>
shipment, wheat aud other products can be
shipped 10 all eastern markets by way of
the Mississippi River much cheaper than BY
Chicago. Muscatine is a much better ship.
ping point than Dubuque from the fact that
the upper rapids and the bridges at Clinton
and Rock Island are entirely avoided. The
shipment Of bushel of wheat from Inde>
pcndence to Muscatne would cost only q
triae more than 10 Dubuque, and the CONS
petition would doubtless soon equaiae it.
We should thus have the choice Of markets,
and the advantage Of competition in freight.
Again such road would give US direct
connection with the North western road to
Chicago. Through ireishts by this route to
and from Chicago would come much cheap.
er and more direct than BY way of Dubuque,
and we should at once be rid Of the annoy>
ance of the delays which always occur atthe
latter point in the spring. |, is true, bridge
is talked OF at Dubuque, bat it is matter of
decided uncertainty With or without it,
with the proposed railroad we should have
competing lines TO Chicago, whicA would
prove Of inealculable advantage.
Thus in whatever light VIC view it, the ex
ten,ion of the NJ. I. 4 A. r. II. to this city,
and on up the Wapsy valley, would give the
citizens Of Buchanan, and q part of Linn
and Delaware coun,ies choice OF markets
and all the advantages Of competing freight
lines.
The air>line distance from this city to An
amosa IS iorty miles. million dollars
would probably build and stock the road.
The farmers along the route could well af>
ford to subscribe literally to the stock of the
read. The simple advance in the value OF
their ir.srms would amount to large per
cent. OF tbs present value, to say nothing OF
the advantage Of better markets. Quasque-
ton !, particularly interested in this matter,
ms her prosperity depends grsatly-we may
say almost eniirely-upou direct railroad
communication with market.
Again, the proposed road would form
new attraction to emigrants, and our county
would FIJI up With augmented activity. Now
that tho road from Musca,inc to Anamosa
is pretty well assured, we trust our farmers
and capitalists will discuss thoroughly tie
project Of extending it up the Warsy valley.
