Won't CenIs Tn,neI Caves I'm.

Dispatches received state that the Mowt
Gents titRnel, probably the greatest engi-
neering work Of the age, has been proved a
partial failure. A large portion of the
roof has fahen in, and many of the work
men are buried in the mass of rock and
earth which now obstructs the progress of
the work, wlliek was rapidly approaching
completion.
Seven corpses have been recovered, but
1t is known that large number yet remain
among the debris. A large force of men
are employed to remove Instructions caused
by the accident.
Engineers are apprehensiye that similar
breaks in the roof may occurin other points,
and supports of immense strength and di-
mensions are being prepared to guard
against any such contingency.

Singular Atmospheric Phenomenon.

Only brief reference has been made to
what was termed tornado in Ulster county,
near Centreville, New York, ,onWednesday.
1t was, however, almost an exact counter
part of the Illinois cyclone, but did not do
SO much damage, solely because it passed
over an uncHltivated country. An eye wit
ness describes the phenomenon as follows :
l saw the cloud coming from the noun
tain. 1t looked like funnel turned up
side down. Then l heard terrific roaring
sound, as from rushing torrent next,
limbs of trees and rails were whirled into
the air, and fences were prostrated. The
cloud sometimes looked inky black, then
red, then bright, and heavy explosions foI-
lowed. Then it seemed as if the noise
came from the cracking flames.
The cloud moved toward us close to the
earth. 1t rolled over and over like ball
We were all greatly frightened by such an
unusual sight, ard all the members Of the
household left for an open lot. David San
ford threw himself on tho ground and
grasped Il berry stake. The cloud passed
the house, and, striking the hay-press, de-
molished it in an instant, and, passing on,
hit the barn and moved it two feet from it's
foundation. AS the hay-press fell, flying
timbers strutk Mr.. Sanford in the head,
rendering Kim unconscious and injuring
him badly. He is now slowly recovering.
He says when the wind first struck him
he was partially lifted from fhe ground,
and would have been carried away if it had
not been for the berry stake. Some boys
who were swimming in the brook heard the
roar, and Fastening out of the water, threw
themselves on the ground, and were only
saved by grasping saplings. The track
of the tornado was about 100 feet in width
and two miles in length
Strange to say, in the wake of the cyclone
there was scarcely any rain, but half a mile
from it, on either side, the rain fell in tor
rents. The ball of cloud appears to have
rolled from the mountain top down through
the valley, and then, after bowling along
the ground for two miles, shot upward and
disappeared About 81, 900 will cover the

A Heartlcss Woman.

Mrs Lydia Sherman was arrested at New
Brunswick recently by officers from Con-
necticslt, who charged her with having
poisoned at different times, three husbands
and two step children, the offspring of her
last husband by former marriage.
This woman married Jerseyman nearly
ten years ago, and after having lived with
him three years he died Suddenly, and un-
der circumstances which occasioned con-
siderable comment. The second husband
was married in Connecticut, and died un-
der equally suspicious circumstances, but
as nothing was there known of the former
mystery no action was taken. Early in
1870, at Derby, Conn, the woman married
Nelson ii. Sherman, wiglower with two
chilflreu, one six and the other fifteen years
old. Within nine months these three died
all under the same unaccountable circum-
stances. On being charged with the crimes
she manifested surprise either real or very
well assumed. She gave no appearance of
guilt, and beyond the simple surprise and
the assertion of her innocence did not seem
to be at all affected.
An examination of the stomachs of the
three last victims has been made and arsenic
in large quantities has been found.

our terms at $1.oO per year.
After trial Of six months, we find that
justice to ourselves compels us to add more
advertising and decrease the reading mat

our reading columns up to the present

as will enable MS SO todo.
We shall, therefore, after the 9th of Au-

While the marriage ceremony was pro-
ceeding, or Immediately after 1t was finish
cd, Ira was conscience stricken, as he says
The marriage could not be undonc, but it
could remain unconsummated, and so he
determined it should be. He announced
TO his wife his resolve to go back to the
fold he had left; to express his penitence,
seek forgiveness and at last become a
humble member Of the family he had de-
Serted if his sin was 50 great that he could
not be restored to the prominence he had
been honored with,
Mrs Lawson did not readily agree to this.
Having gone thus far it would be absurd
to return, and size emphatically objected to
so doing. But Ira, now that his head was
level again, saw too clearly his error, and
he insisted upon going home in as good
repair as when he left. His arguments
prevailed, and she consented, unwillingly
though to return with him. and SO ended
the honeymoon.
