COnstitu ioDal Amendments.

1t is rather early to begin the discus.
sion OF amendments to the Constitution
Of the State of Vermont, as we cannot act
upon the propositions until 1880, unless
by a revolutionary" convention, sug.
gested by some of our exchanges but
the matter, though not taken up for full
discussion. has been quito extensively
limited at BY the press Of the State. We
may as well settle the matter once for
all, in our own minds, that no defect in
our organic law is SO marked and SO deep.
ly felt by our citizens, as to call for any
revolutionary action, if, indeed, there is
demand for amendments at all. In
fact, the Herald, which first preached the
subject, makes no suggestion as to the
changes it desires. If the temper of the
people remains the same as at present
until 1850, we have no doubt We shall
then return to the old system of annual
elections and annual sessions of The Leg
islature. But more than likely the peo.
pie will become accustomed to the present
system within the seven years which we
ure compelled to wait, and the grievance
will be borne until that time with eQui.
nimity,-and at length cease to be a
grievance.
LII, however, our contemporary is going
to call convention for the purpose OF
changing our organic law, we want to
suggest an amendment which is thought
by many to be very desirable. In Sec

Trrrib a. Tornado.


AsllINdroN, Iowa. May 70.
A terrible tornado or whirlwiud, ac-
oompanied by hail aud rain, passed over
this county about six miles north oil
Washington yesterday afternoon. Its
path was about half mile in width. and
it tore into fragments everything iD its
course houses, barns, fences, trees. cattle
and human beings were caught up aud
whirled through the air like mere toys,
and then dashed to the ground with such
violence as to produce instant destruction.
For miles around the fields are dotted
with large timbers, driven into the ground
at an JINGLE of ninety degrees Cattle
we're actually driven headforemost into
the ground. One can scarcely conceive
the devastation or realize the force of the
tornado. Already we have heard OF
thirteen farm houses and barns that were
literally torn to pieces, ard many others
badly damaged.
A school was in session at school
house six miles north of here, and the
tornado tore the building to pieces, and
carried the fourteen year old daughter OF
Henry Rothmel about quarter of mile
from the school, When found she was
mashed to jelly.
A gentleman who was near the tornado
reports that it was balloon shaped with
the small end TO the ground, and moved
at rate of twenty miles an hour. 1t
began its fearful work near Keota where
it demolished several houses.
Sad havoc was made with all kinds OF
stock, and from the description Of an eye
witness it seems almost a miracle that
anything 10 the track escaped alive. lie
says he could see large pieces of timber
hurled from the cloud as though shot
from cannon, Hailstones fell that
measured nine inches in circumference
Some were brought to this city and four
hours after they were picked up they
we're still as large as hens eggs.
The roaring Of the tornado was fearful
and could have been heard ten miles.
At this place six miles away, it was
perfectly appalling, surprising in terror
anything ever heard except the din OF
terrific battle, a telegram from Kcota
last evening says that five persons were
killed about three miles from that place.
Many more lives were probably lost
than those reported, and no estimate can
be made Of the stock killed. Nothing SO
terrible or violent has ever befallen this
section of the country heretofore and ii
considered a miracle that so few lives
were lost.

TnE BURIAL OF CAPT. HALL.-On the
Sth Of November he died and was buried
on the llth. His grave bore south-south.
cas-, and about 500 PAGES distant from
the observatory in Polaris bay, which was
in latitude 81 9 So, longitude 81 . A,
on shore. We erected board over his
grave, with an inscription and giving his
name, age go years., date of death and
command of tho North Polar expedition.
All hands, except the cook, attended his
funeral. 1t was dark, dismal cold.
windy and disagreeable day. The wind
was mournfully howIing, and the hearts
of all were enveloped in deepest sadness.
I held a lantern, and by the light of it
the beautiful service of the Episcopal
church was read by Mr., Bryant. As the
soothing words, II am the resurrection
and the lie, saith the Lord" fell upon
the ears Of the auditors there were few
dry tears, and there amid the savage des-
olation Of nature the most rugged, the
power OF Christianity maue itsrTi ieio ~
those who had never before acknowledged
its influence. Few of those who were
present at the burial will forget tie
deeply affecting scene, Old sailors, whose
faces had been broDzed by summer suns
and frozen in Attic seas, wept aloud.
Capt, Hall was universally beloved, and
his death at that time when the enter
prise promised SO hopefully was felt by
his survivors to be an irrctrievable loss.
Those thoughts were uppcrmost in the
minds Of all, and when the funeral party
returned to the ship there was hushed
silence attending the performance of cv-
cry duty.-Capt. TySon'S Narratire.
