II Tornado and tg'afCy'-SpOuf ore
fRe Ohio FeiUes..

The Louisville Courier gives an account
Ola destructive hurricane that swept across
Kentucky above Wicklif's landing, thirty
five miles up the river, on W ednesday after
noon. While the Leonora was moored at
the landing, about A. o'clock, the pilot on
duty saw two immense clouds come togeth,
er short distance Of: In few minutes
terrific hurricane, rendered still more aw-
full by deafenipg thunder and binding
lightning, rushed with indescribable fury
across the river just above the landing.
Immediately on reaching the stream the
fierce tornado lifted u great body of the
water and hurled it along over the bank,
deluging the vicinity and exciting the ut
most terror among the people.
The path of the hurricane was about a
hundred yards in width. Throughout this
track for miles on both sides of the river
the devastation was complete. Houses,
trees, fences &c, were uptorn and scatter
eel like straws in all directions. The air was
densely filled with huge limbs of trees and
other fragments, and the whole region of
the storm was in a state Of chaos.
In the general destruction, the dwell
ing of IA Mr.. Goeshlcr was blown down and
that of David Hogan was completely rased.
In the latter house were four or five Fer
sons, all of whom were more or less in
jured. Sid. Lees barn and n new dwelling
near by were unroofed. A lookout station
at the landing was blown entirely away.
Although the Leonora lay some distance
below the line of the main hurricance, all
of her skylights were shattered and the
glass hurled into the cabin, creating Il
wild panic among the passengers. If the
boat had been within full range Of the
squall she would have gone up the
spout teetotally. The most skillfll
pilot could not have saved her. This ter
rible blast was followed by rain that fell
in torrents and Hooded the whole region
around. 1t is difficult to estimate the eX-
tent of the injury suffered by the victims Of
this sto.m, but it. is certainly very great,

ANOTHER MAMMOTH CAvE.--In low
range of mountains lying west of the south
ern portion of the Egan range between this
city and Patterson District, says the White
Pine Neacs, is found one of the most extern
sive and remarkable caves on the continent,
second only to the great Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky. AS this was once used as a
resort and cache by the Mormons, and we
believe, fortified by them, we have there
fore called 1T the. Mormons' Cave. 1t was
once explored by Lieutenant Seamands for
q distance of about two miles through its
anterior passages and caverns, but no end
was reached. Being in the distant will
derness, it attracted but little attention,
and the fact of its existence was almost
forgotten. The progress of settlement has
now brought civilization to the neighbor-
hood of this great natural curiosity, and in
a few years we may expect it to become
one of the fashionable resorts for Summer
tourists. In anticipation of this, man
named Cook has made homestead claim
Of the ground surrounding the entrance,
and is making a we'll shaded and marked
walk leading into it and its numerous
branching avenues. This will enable Wis
itors to explore i;without danger of being
lost

GOOD PLACES TO BUY-The advertise
ment of our enterprising friends, Herman &
Ewing, of this place, will be seen in another
column. There is no mistake as to the facil-
tiles offered purchasers at their store, corner
Main and Office streets, to make selection of
any style or quality of goods in their line, at
rates that cannot fail to satisfy all. They
and their gentlemanly clerks are always rea-
dy to accommodate purchasers with real bar
gains-their motto being "Quick Sales and
Small Profits"
1t will also be seen that our former towns
man, Mr.. Caleb Moore, has associated him
self with Mr.. HollingsWorth, at Falston and
opened at that place first-class store, where
new and seasonable merchandise can be
bought at city rates for cash. Wespeak cor-
fidently when we say, that from our ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Moore, We assure the
citizens of our neighboring town of Fallston

eI5- Habitual drunkards in Illinois, by a
recent act of the legislature, are hereafter to
be subjected to very stringent course of
treatment They are classified with INDECENT,
idiotic and insane persons, and are to be
placed under the care of guardians, or of the
overseers of the poor. A similar provision
exists in Pennsylvania, but the regulations
are more strict in Illinois, since in the latter
State when person has once been declared
a habitual drunkard, the guardianship over
him must continue for an entire year.

buildings seem to be the order of the day
in this place, and .ihe march Of Improvement
goes steadily on. What was once our prin-
cipal overwhelmingly, the old pump on

has disappeared from view. The reason of
its disappearance is not mysterious one,
however, for our fellow -,townsman, Mr..
August Martin, is about erecting ON site
enclosing the place where it stood for so
many years, new frame building IA by 3G
feet, to be occupied and used by himself as a
bakery, with a saloon for ice cream and confec-
tionery attached, where he expects to accom-
MEDIATE the public with all the good things
appertainiDg to his line of business.
Joseph E. Bateman is also erecting, on a
lot adjoining his dwelling house on Main
street, a commodious building, 18 30 feet,
to be used as store. The second story will
be finished for offices, and altogether, it will
be quite a handsome improvement to that
section of the town.
Mr.. Samuel L. Bond has just commenced
the erection of twostory frame dwelling
house, on the lot cast of and adjoining his
store. This section of the village is improv-
ing with more rapidty than any other--inore
than dozen houses having been built there
within the past year or two.

THE DISADVANTAGES or BEING A MAN.
The disadvantages of being Il man are
forcibly told in the following letter written
to gentleman who appli d for admission
to membership in the New York Sorosis,
the women's club of Flew York:
Hr. r. g. Rooserelt-Dear Sir: Your pro-
position to become member Of the Soro-
sis was laid before the executive committee,
and subsequently before the club. regret
to say the decision was not in your favor.
The reasons, it is only fair to state, were
not those of character, position or personal
merit but consisted solely of society re-
strictons as to sex. Personally you have
been found very agreeable by several men,
bers of the Sorosis. Reputation and posi-
ton are alike unexceptionabe; but the I'M
fortunate fact of your being man out
weighs these and all other claims to men,
bership,
We willingly admit, of course, that the
accident ofyour sex is on your part mis-
fortune, and not fault. Nor do wish to
arrogate anything to ourselves because we
had the good fortune to be born women.
We sympathize most truly and heartily with
you and the entire male creation in their
present and prospective desolation and I'M
happiness but this is all we can do. So
rosis is too young for gentlemen, and must
be allowed time to grow. By and by, when
it has reached proper age, say twenty
it may ally itself with the Press Club, or
some other male organization Of good char
acter and standing; but for years to come
its replyto all male suitors must be, "Prin-
ciples not men,"
