believe it was Henry Clay Dean, while
performing the functions of a Methodist
minister, who told 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., Of the in-comers. In con-
formity with this announcement, he called
out the names of the in.comers until man
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 a 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-
In making the announcement OF in -comers,
would respectfully suggest that they Sc
lect cTierS 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
foot fall 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
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
a 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 ID. V. road, between Beacon
and Leighton, and increased in strength
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
Of them. His house received severe
shock I; though not struck with the full
| force of the storm, it was moved on Its
foundation, and shaken so badly as to
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
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 its line.
The width of the tornado was but a few
rods, but it was very severe.
