o, THAT WERE BEAUTIFUL is the unspoken
wish of thousands of women to whom nature has
denied the charm of pure, fresh transparent COM
plexioD. To crafty this wish HosAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM was introduced. The cosmetics of the day
had been pronounced poisonous by the most dis.
tinguished chemists, and it was also found that
their ultimate effect was to wither the skin as well
as to paralize the external nerves. The ladies
hailed with delight the advent of a healthful,
herbal and floral preparation capable ofimparting
to their faces, necks and arms porcelain smoot-
ness and tinge like that of the finest oriental
pearl. They soon discovered that 1t was new
thing under the sum- Incompatible and unap-
proachable. Unquestionably the MAGNOLIA BALM
has been great toilet success of the present GEN.

NECK.TWISTINC,

believe it was Henry Clay Dean, while
performing the functions of Methodist
minister, who told a congregation who
were in the habit of twisting their necks to
see every person who came into the church
during public service, that if they would
cease annoying the preacher and be more
devoted hearers by their neck-twistiDg pro-
cedure, he would undertake to announce
the names, &C., ofth in-comers. In con-
formity with this announcement, he called
came who was stranger, when he said to
his congregation that "a man with red
jacket had just come in whom he did not
know, and that they might all look for
themselves" think 1t would be good
thing if some, perhaps all the preachers of
Oskaloosa would adopt this expedient, and
thus save great deal of annoyance to the
more devoted people in the respective con-
gregations If the ministers feel delicacy
In making the announcement OF in corners,
would respectfully suggest that they Sc
lect crters for the purpose, who may be
seated beside them in the pulpit, for the
faithful performance of the important duty
" OF announcing the entrance of all late
corners. This. think would save the feel
ings of the preachers and devoted portions
OF their congregations, and would be a
great saving to the cords of the necks of
those whose heads must fly around at every
football at the church door. 1t looks to me
that such neck,twisters are more anxious
to see who enters the church door than to
hear the truths uttered by the preacher. 1t
is true scripture that where the treasure
u.s. there will the heart be also and those
persons who are constantly gaping to see
who is coming in, must think more of what
they can see than of what they might hear,
by giving strict ttention to the preaching.
These suggestions are made in the greatest
kindness, hoping that they will have a
salutary effect in suppressing the irreverent
habit of neck-twisting and Of more thor
oughly spiritualizlng our congregations.

WHIRLWIND OR ToRNADO.-Last Thurs
day we were fishing at the Parker & Cra-
mer mill, and about half past five o'clock in
the evening, just after the rain, we looked
across the bottom to the south, in the d.
rection of the Pella road, and there saw a
small dark cloud, shaped just like funnel,
which we then thought was whirlwind,
and which we afterwards found was quite
severe one. The small end would lengthen
out toward the earth, then draw up until
the cloud would become nearly round,
then lengthen out again, repeating this
several times while we watched it. We
afterwards learned it first made its appear.
ance near the d. V. road, between Beacon
and size as it progressed northward 1t
struck the fences near John N Dixon and
Chas. Morehouse, clearing them out pretty
well. VIM. Barber informs US he saw it
approaching, and when near his house it
cut off large cottonwood tree near the
ground, sucking the whole top and body
up in the vortex, and they never saw it
more; the boards and timbers of which
the roofs of his barn and sheds were COM
posed shared the same fate, nd though
riding for half mile in every direction
from the house he failed to find any sign

shock though not struck with the full
force of the storm, it was moved on It's

cause the plastering on ceiling and walls
to nearly all fall off His wife, STOPPING
to pick up an in FAINT was hit on the head by
a large patch of plaster from the ceiling,
and felled senseless to the floor, bleeding
freely, but not seriously injured. Up in
Enoch Shoemake's neighborhood, and
about Messrs. CruzeD's, the storm was also
very severe, throwing heavy timbers,
benches, wagons trees, &c, promiscuously
about. We have not heard from it after
crossing the river, though we inquired of
several who we supposed TO be in it's line.
The width of the tornado was but a few
rods, but it was very severe.
