A ToRNADo.-Another hail storm,
more severe and destructive than tn at
which visited Bondville on the 18th, of
June, passed through Winhall, on Thurs
hall, the 14tb. 1t took in its course,
which was about two miles north west of
Bondville, several farm-houses and
scarcely left a pane of glass in any of
them. The limbs of fruit trees were
broken off and the unripe fruit scattered
in every direction. A horse-barn be-
longing to Mr.. Slade was blown down
and carried considerable distance nine
ty panes of glass were broken out of the
windows of Mr.. Aliens house, seventy
from Mr.. V. Wildsr's, and sixty from FL
lis Wilder's. Harrison Kendall's barn
and shed were blown apart distance of
several feet. Some of the hail-stones re-
sembled rough balls with sharp forked
prongs, and many of them were as large
as a common sized tumbler. Whole
fields of corn and Indian wheat were cut
to the ground and had the appearance Of
having been moved with a scythe, Many
of the gardens are entirely ruined.

EARLY ROSE PoTAToEs.-"O On June
Oath, one of the members of the editor
ial staff of the Hearth and Home had
upon his table at dinner, Early Rose po-
tatoes of the crop of 1869, and some OF
the same variety of the crop of 1870.
In the opinion of the quite large compa-
nv present, those that attained their
growth twelve months ago were better
than several other varieties of fall rip
enipg potatoes which had been in use in
the family several weeks previous.
As some persons have disputed the
keeping qualities of the Early Rose,
this statement is made in justice to the
variety, and not because we have any to
sell or shah have future occasion to buy.
They were raised on sandy soil and
we're kept in a dry cellar"
The above is also strictly true of our
of our own dinner table, having had two
crops cooked at the same time. The ques-
ton as to their keeping qualities there
fore has been we'll tested, showing no con-
stitutional tendency to early decay. With
this point settled the reputation of the
Early Rose ought to be well established.

we have recently seen in the Keene pa
pers, there appears to be some occasion
for apprehension that Franco-P russian
war may occur near home. Brother Ed
p, formerly of the Brattleboro Record,
is out in card of unmistakable Ian
guage and hostility to the Bismarck of
the Sentinel, and as a consequence, New
Hampshire stocks are said to have gone
down, and the whole State is in great
suspense and unhappy anxiety, though
up to time of going to press, no actual
engagement is reported. The great ques-
tion at Keene now is, whether either of the
parties are sufficiently skilled as marks
men to make it safe for the seconds or
other spectators to be on the field of hos
tilities, in case diplomacy finally fails of
preventing "pistols and coffee for two" I!
