NEEMONTERs IN A SToIM. For the fol-
lowing account of late western storm. we
are indebted to friend now residing in the
Montpelier Settlement in Waveland, Iowa;
On the morning of the 22d we were visited
by onc-of those terrible hurricanes that
sweep over our Western prairics The day
had been warm and the night was calm
dicatons of storm than notified appear
ancc of the sky. About one o'clock the
wind woke us from our slumbcrs by its
violence, and in one half hour from the
first alarm all was quiet agan, but the
morning showed what the inccssant flashes
Of lightning failed to reveal Farming
utensils and outhouscs were strcwed for
miles around.
Mr.. Clarke, formerly of Vermont, was
literally blown out. The house and furni-
turc were one mass of ruins. When it was
falling some of the flying timbers struck
Mr.. Clarke and his wife, but neither of
them were seriously injured A beautiful
organ WIS crushed into thousand pieces
by the fall, and the furniture shared the
same fate. The four inmates consider
themselves very fortunate that all of life
and limb they lost was the end of the hired
mans nose.
These were all the serious damages re-
ceivcd by the Vermont Settlement proper.
Our neighbOrS were no more fortunate.
The house of one man was taken half a
mile across river, dcposting its inmates
upon its banks. Our schOolhousc was
placed nearly at an angle of 90o.
The spring which supplies the Equinox
trout pond from the north cut up curious
performance last Thursday. All of sud-
den it burst out in several new places, dis
charging more than four times the quantity
of water it was ever known to produce be-
fore, frightening Jimmy Hanley, who
was at work near, half out of his wits. -
The water continued to flow and was Wis
tied by several of our citizens, exciting
their wonder and curiosity. In the mean
time Sylvanus Boynton was wondering
what had become of the brook that had al
ways hitherto courscd its way ioyfully
through his pasture. On investigation it
was found that the water in the brook had
found an underground passage to some un-
known region and from the situation il is
very evident that it had gone to increase
the Equinox spring.
A little girl three years old, daughter of
a Frenchman named Coulter, was drowned
near Mattock's tannery, on Friday night
last. The family had only recently moved
into town and had not got their furniture
and stoves set up, and the parents allowed
this little girl and boy younger to go to a
ncighbors to get warm. About seven in
the evening the boy returned but could tell
nothing about his companion. The neigh
borhOOd was alarmed and search made and
continued nearly all night, but no trace of
the lost child could be found until about
nine o'clock next morning, when her life
| less corpse was discovered under some flood
wood in raceway or canal leading to the
mill. 1t is supposed that in cndeavoring
to go home the night before she lost her
way and fell into the race and was thus
drowned
AMENDING TIE CONSTITUTION. AS for
the plan of changing the constitution by
direct vote of the people whenever the
Legislature should submit an amendment,
il is n mere vagary of some mind suddenly
struck by the very old fact that no consti-
tuition of Vermont was ever directly voted
upon for adoption or rejection by the
people. The Windsor journal sensibly
says as to talking now about amendmrnts
"Of course, if the question belonged to the
hour, we might have something to say OF
amendments, but to discuss proposals now
/
grapple into the foretop of time"
