he who would work out his salvation must

preserving sweet potatoes, as stated by
mo, in our meeting in WhitevilIe on
tho 22nd of May, has been handed me
for snnwer. #AEaE15 n

A severe Tornado ON L ike Pepin.

The first tornado ever seen at Lake
Pepin by any OF the present Inhabitants
pissed over the lake last week. 1t rose
ON the highlands between the Reads
Landing aud West Albany roads, came
over the edge of the bluff back of Min
now Lake, near Mr.. o. Hara's house, and
struck Lake Pepin about mile below
Lake City, n short distance below Min
nOw-lake bridge. Its track was about
three hundred yards wide. When it
descended the steep bluff towards Min
now Lake the declivity was swept Of its
brush and saplings, and the ground
scraped as If ten thousand elephants bad
slid down there OH their haunches. As
it passed over the fiat towards the lake,
trees, fences, telegraph poles and wires
were gathered up into the air and hurled
in all directions.
The Lake City Leader says We
first saw the tornado as it was whirling
out upon Lake Pepin. Our attention
was arrested by hearing hoarse and
awful roar, drowning the noise of tine
thunder storm that was then passing
over the town. Looking southwark we
saw a huge egg-shaped cloud whirling
at an altitude of say two hundred yards
Its position was then diagonal, with tho
small end inclining downwards. The
roar of it was terrible. When it had
passed out upon the lake it assumed a
more upright position, sank a little, and
commenced drawing up the waters to
meet it; and for some fifteen minutes,
about the time of its passage across the
lake, the waters over a space about a
hundred feet in diameter, were whirling
and rising in spiral form with n violence
and cominotion that was awful to be-
hold. The spray and mist, mixed with
the clouds of dust carried by the whirl-
wind from the shore, gave the scene the
appearance of lake on fire. AS it neared
the opposite shore the cloud took the
perfect tunnel shape of the ocean water
spout, standing ia a perpendicular po-
sition.
Leaving the lake, it swept the waters
out upon the beach for a distance OF
thirty yards, in waves twenty feet above
the ordinary level of the lake. 1t struck
Bogus Greek fatty in the mouth, and as
it rose to climb the bluff and pass over
into Bogus Valley, the trees that it lift
ed from the bl1ff side were distinctly
seen from Lake City, four miles distant,
sailing away in the tornado, four or five
hundred feet up from the ground. The
right wing of The tornado swept to the
left of Mr.. Whites house, being turned
| by the heavy timber. Tue left passed
over the point of the BLUFF, and the whole
crossed Bogus Creek below the mill
climbed the opposite bluffs, and sweep
away across The highlands towards
Plumb Creek. Fortunately there were bu
but few houses in it, way where crossed
Bogus Valley, for ruin was in its track
Everything fell efore it. Fences wert
blown away, the largest trees torn up oil
broken into splinters. One solid whit

TIE prospect of the early completion
of the Lake Superior ana Mississippi
Railroad, is awaking the interests over
the entire head of the lake. Already the
mining matters on the north shore are
receiving great attention. Several OK
ploring parties have started 10 the field,
and during the past week large tracts OF
mineral lands located down the north
shore have been purchased from the
Governments. Lands at the entrances
of all the small rivers on the south shore
of the luke are being sought after for
fishing purposes.
Mr.. q. III. Mason and i. NJ. Slayer,
experienced fishermen from Green Bay,
have started extensive fisheries near the
mouth of Brule river, twenty-five miles
down the lake on the south shore. They
are building their houses, and have al
ready in operation three pound nets"
Messrs. Mason IL Slayer employ alrea-
dy considerable number Of men, and
have capital enough to carry on business
on u large scale.-Dututh Minnesotian.
