Hon COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS RE-
spEcrED FRIEND 81 white to communicate to
thee the awful calamity that has befallen this
agency. Yesterday, at s. l.. Nj. a tornado pas
sed by us, near the agency buildings. 1t was
waterspont which appeared like column or
cloud, reaching from the earth to the clouds. 1t
came from the Southwest, and was seen fifteen
or twenty minutes before reaching us. 1t moved
OH to the Northwest, whrling, and apparently
boiling up from the earth. think the volume
of water contained in it was not great. 1t pass
ed lis as a whirlwind moving with great force
and velocity, sweeping the earth. In its course
it levelled the buildings Of the Episcopal Mission
to the ground, totally destroying them i'll an i'll
slant. Many Of the fragments We're carried to a
great distance. The chapel bell was taken 200
yards. Samuel d. Human. the Episcopal Mis-
sionary, and his family were wonderfully and
providentially preserved. His family consisted
Of his wife, three children and sister, Emily
West and Mary j. Lee, teachers, none of whom
were seriously hurt. though the building fell
upon them ALL Mr. Ross. who was studying for
the ministry, was seriously hurt. We thought
last night he could not live until morn
ing, but to-day he appears rational, and is much
improved. We now have hopes of his recovery.
The carpenter, painter, and an Indian man
were at work in the hospital, which was nearly
finished. The carpenter stephen Davis, was
killed instantly, it il supposed the building fall
ing on him and crushing him.
| The painter, gentleman by the name of
| Young, and Alfred Miller, Santee, were carried
| by tile force of the wind one hundred yards, or
| perhaps more, into body of timber. Alfred
| Miller died very soon after being found Young
is doing well, and we hope will soon recover.
| The tornado swept over space about two
i hundred yards wide. and as it passed through

THE GRAIN AND FRUIT cnoPs-EARLY POTATOES
MooRroN, DEL, June 13.-Your paper being
highly appreciated here, it is read with much in
terest by all parties regardless Of political pro-
clivites. The farmers in this vicinity have here
tofore entertained cheering hopes in contempla-
ton of bounteous wheat harvest but it is now
thought by those who are experienced that the
wheat crop has been injured by the late rains.
The wet season is quite favorable to oats, and
they look remarkably we'll.
Peaches, for the last three weeks, have been
falling Off the trees very fast, and there is little
doubt as to a failure In that crop
Strawberries are now on in great abundance,
the shipping of which will end with the latter
part of the present week. This delicious fruit
is becoming extensively cultivated in the vicinity
| of Moorton. Mole than a hundred Thousand
plants were set out this Spring, within three
| miles of this station. Our II. r. agent boasts
of his early potatoes having taken a mess last
week. They are of the early Rose variety.
