A Minnesota Tornado.

About twelve miles southwest from here,
in the town of Raymond, in Stearns
County, was the dwelling house of well
TODD and respectable farmer, Mr.. Richard
Richardson, formerly of Rice County, in
this State At the time of the commence
ment of the storm on Friday night, he
and his family were quietly enjoying their
home, with others of the neighborhood,
who were stopping over night with them.
About IL o'clock Mr.. Richardson remarked
to his wife that he feared they would have
hard storm. Before he could arouse the
family, or even make any preparation
himself, the tornado burst upon them with
such force as to tear to pieces and scatter
about Tor a distance of a quarter of a mile
the entire house and its contents, together
with the inmates There were at the time
twelve persons in the building, the most
of them upstairs asleep.
1t was block or log house, 1Sx24, one
and half. stories high, well dovetailed at
the corners and pinned with two-inch
oak pins. Mr.. and Mrs Richardson ard
the small child alone remained in the
ruins of the house. John, the eldest son,
% years old, was carried thirty-fo rods
and dropped on the ground, so badly
bruised and mangled that there is but
little hope of his recovery. George, the
second son, 10 years old, was also carried
thirty rods, and had his right ankle broken,
the bone protruding through the flesh.
He is also badly bruised in many places.
While the third son, 3 years of age, was
borne some thirty rods, and hurled to the
ground SO badly injured that he lived
only a few moments Two other chill
dren, little girls were taken from their
beds, twisted up in their bed clothes, and
dropped off the opposite side of the
building from the rest, unframed. Mrs.
r. received some injuries on and about
the head and face, but nothing more seri-
Gus. This is about the extent of the in
juries received by the family of Mr.. r.
Miss Anna Wilson, a school teacher,
stopping at the house of Mr.. R.,
having some fears at the time, had
risen, dressed, and was sitting up
when the wind struck the building.
She was carried with the rest, mixed in
with broken pieces of timber, boxes, bar
rels, cupboards, trunks, bedding and fur
niture, and the entire contents of the
upper part of the house, thirty seven rods,
and deposited in the wheat field. She was
so badly bruised that there is little hope of
her recovery. Liberty Raymond, % years
olu, eiuesI SUI vi II. y. nay Liohu, hoI'
whom the town of Raymond takes its
name, was among the unfortunate. He
was carried about the same distance as Mr..
RS oldest son, and so badly mangled that
he only survived short time. The scene
at the house, when daylight came, is much
easier imagined than described, Mr.. X. be-
ing the only one left after the disaster, to
collect in the dead and dying, and to care
for the injured ones After looking for
and finding most of them in the midnight
gloom, it being very dark and stormy, he
proceeded to the neighbors to give the
alarm and procure assistance. All of the
medical aid was soon on tie road to the
scene of distress-Sduk Center Cor, 81

A World on Fire.

On the 10Th of May, 1866, great con-
f1agration, infinitely larger than that OF
London or Moscow, was announced. To
use the expression of a distinguished
astronomer, world was found to be on
fire A star, which till then had shone
meekly and unobtrusively in the Corona
Borealis, suddenly blazed up into lumi-
nary of the second magnitude. In the
course of three days from its discovery in
this new character by Mr.. Birmingham, at
Tuam, it had declined to the third or even
fourth order of brilliancy. In twelve
days, dating from Its first spparition In

Ice.Creanl.

The following directions for making ice
cream are furnished by a lady who is
noted for her success in the preparation of
this most acceptable refreshment:
ITO the making of good ice-cream, five
things are essential-namely: pure sweet
milk or cream, fresh eggs, white sugar,
good favoring extracts, and maizena,, or
orn-starch, or arrowroot The last NEIL
toned it is difficult to obtain in an unadul-
terated state, and maizena, is nice enough
for the most delicate taste.
1.-THE most common fault in ice-c cream is
flakiness, which may be produced by the
use of milk which has been todtercd, or by
an imperfect method of freezing. There
are several kinds of patent freezers now
advertised, each of which claims the supe-
riority. / have one in use which promises
to do its work in five, and actually does it
thoroughly in from eight to fifteen minutes,
The n1ofe pure cream there is in it, the
longer will be the time required for freez-
ing it;
mented quite extensively with different
lowing as making the best ice-cream:
Mol.
1.-TWO quarts of milk, four eggs, three
quarters of pound of white sugar, two
tablespoonfuls of maizena,, and little
salt. Boil the milk with the salt for two
or three minutes in tin pail, set in a
and stir in the ifiaizena dissolved in lit
tie cold milk, then the sugar, and lastly
the eggs. Stir it constantly for two or
70 bo from, nOnE-
ing. Add the fiavoring extract just be-
thoroughly cooled before freezing, as
sotherwise the process is retarded.
No. g
"Skim quart of cream from five quarts
of milk, which should have been standing
in summer twelve hours, and in winter
twenty-four hours; add to it one quart of
new milk, two tablespoonful of maizena,,
three-quarters of a pound of sugar, a little
salt, fotif eggs or less, or none at all. With
the four eggs it is tefy fieh, too rich for
most tastes. Flavor as you like. The
cooking process is the same as in No. 1.
No. 3.
"a still richer article may be made by
using clear cream, and in this case no eggs
should be used. The same proportion of
other ingredients should be observed.
"There are a good many articles of
cookery which require only the whites of
eggs the remaining yolks are very nice
in either of the first recipes, instead of the
regular number of entire eggs. FROM four
to twelve yolks may be used in No. Il;
from two to six in No. 2.
"The first recipe makes more econom-
ical dessert than most pies and buildings"

A Warning to Sunday BARRIERS.

THE Morgantown Pa.) Post is respon-
sible for this story: A negro barber relates
that in this place q few Sabbaths ago he
was shaving a man, and as he drew the
razor over his face he realized that he was
doing wrong in thus violating the laws o.
God by working on the Sabbath day, and
the thought also occurred to him that the
Almighty, in His displeasure, might take
from him the use of his hand if he still
persisted in shaving persons on Sunday.
while he was thus meditating, strange as
it may seem, the strength of his right
hand and arm gradually departed he
has not been able to shave man since
that time, a period of three weeks, and
has no use Of his hand scarcely at the
present writing, nor is there any prospects
of its speedy recovery. Doubtless this is
a Judgment upon him for not remember.

An interesting decision has been made
by the Supreme Court of California on bet.
ting on elections. The case was that of
Johnston %. Russell, appealed from the
Sixth District Court. Johnston, plaintih,
made several bets on the Presidential cleo
ton last fall Russell was the stakehol-
der. Plaintiff allowed the stakes to rest
without demanding the withdrawal of his
own or any part of the same till the 23d
of November, when, from the published
election returns, it became certain that he
had lost his money. Then he sent the
stakeholder, Russell, q written notice not
to pay the money or any part of it over to
the winner, and that if he did, plaintiff
would hold the stakeholder responsible
for his part of the stakes. Russell did pay
the money to the winner, and hence this
suit. The Court decide SandersOn writ
ing the opinion-frst, that gambling on
popular elections is against public policy,
and therefore illegal; second, that the
money wagered may be recovered at law,
if the party who staked it makes demand
for the same before the event on which
he wagered has been decided third, that
if the better allows his stakes to remain
in the shareholders hands, without any
demand for its return until the event has
been decided, he cannot then come into
court and sue for its recovery. This was
what the plaintiff did in the case decided.
He waited and stood upon the laws of
honor till he found he had lost, and then
he appealed from the laws of honor to the
laws of the land. The Court was unani-
mously of opinion that to allow him this
appeal would be to encourage fraud. They
reaffirm the dictum of the Court of Errors
of New York, in Vischer cs. Yates, as the
law of California, which was that "either
party might disafirm the wager and re-
cover the money of the stakeholder at any
time before the happening of the event
upon which the wager was made but
that the loser could not recover Of the
stakeholder after the event had happened
and he had lost his money-that in that
case, as to him, the wager had become an
| executed contract, and his repentance has
come to late" The conclusion of the
opinion is that eater the money has beer
lost and won, neither party ought to be
heard in court of justice. "-Sacranentt
