Saturday morning a tornado swept from
East Long Meadow to Wilbraham, Mass, level
ing everything in its path for distance of five
miles, its course being northeasterly. Stone
walls and fences were strewn in every direction
A strip from five to fifteen rods in width was
cut clean through forest of large trees, and
several buildings were blown down, but no
dwellings. Among the buildings unroofed was
a boarding house of the Wilbraham Academy.
The total loss was about $4,000.

The Heated Term.

Professor Young says that under such con-
ditions as we are familiar with, the sun ought
to burn out in about six thousand years.
That is supposed by many to be about its
present age. If this August heat proves to
be the faring up of the candle before going
ut, future dispatches from New York may
be something after the following pattern:
specials to the PosT.l
New York, Aug. 30.-115 in the shade;
symptoms OF alarm among the people.
New York, Sept 22.-123 in the shade;
people going to church in great crowds-re-
vivals progressing all over the country,
New York, Oct. 15.-12S in the shade !:
the Tribune, World, and Sun have quit tell
ilg lies, and will be as trustworthy as the
Herald. The street car companies horses are
all well fed and none overloaded Mr. Bergh
has nothing to do here, and has gone with
haggard committee of one hundred New
Hampshire people to stop Mr.. Greeley from
making speeches.
New York, Nov. S.-134 in the shade;
every vote cast for Grant; country all Re-
pdblicans, sons of temperance and church
members.
New York, Dec. 3-141 in the shade: ice
gone; water warm and supply fast failing;
the most temperate people can't stop minute
without smoking,
New York, Dec. 25.-149 in the shade;
wonderful auroras every night, of all colors,
bright as day, and hiding the stars; vivid
lightning and crashing shocks of thunder
every, afternoon; from all quarters of the
world come dispatches describing electrical
marvels and great damage by storms; many
villages have been struck, and consumed for
want of water; the strange light of the sun
observed by Father Secchi, in Italy, in the
early part of August, is now too manifest
everywhere to need description; there is
widespread panic; Wall street broker. have
established a corner in hymn-books.
January 1, 1873.-157 in the shade! Ex-
plosions in the sun have been seen with the
naked eye, as well as clouds of smoke, former
ly called sun-spots. A leading Adventist,
being interviewed by Times reporter, said
this was the manner of closing up which they
had always expected.
-Mdnight-Professor Solomon has
just discovered heat in the rays of the moon.
A mob is on its way to lynch him.
