Terrible Gale at Waterloo.

The storm of Wednesday evening
chiefly remarkable here for its sublime
and fearful display of heavenly pyrotech-
MICS and torrents of rain, was hurricane
of tremendous proportions at Waterloo
The following dispatch to the Dubuque
Times of yesterday will give some idea
of its extent and violence:
WATERLOO, July s.
A very heavy hurricane passed over
our city at o'clock this afternoon, which
lasted for three-fourths of an hour, doing
great damage to crops and tearing off the
roofs of several of our principal manu-
featuring establishments. Among the
unroofcd buildings are the City FIGURING
Mill, the Waterloo Wooden Mill, the Wa
terloo Agricultural Works. and the new
Cheese Factory. The steeples of the
Presbyterian and the Episcopal churches
were blown down. The roof of the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids & Minnesota depot
was also blown away. A large number
of barns and small buildings were leveled
to the ground, while awnings and signs
filled the air. Trees were toppled over
and twisted off, and windows innumerable
were crushed in. Trains of cars standing
quietly on the track were set in motion
and some Of the cars blown clear off the
track. Some of the elevators were dam
aged, and fences in tho track of the storm
aend were scattered In every direction.
So far a. heard from no one was hurt.
The aggregate damage is very large and
cannot now be estimated.

things below the rosy clouds in which he
was floating, he started off without paying
the customary fee. The Squire however,
who long ago passed the age Of romance,
and took practical view of the situation,
halted the young man at the door and re-
minded him of the omission. The change
that came over that young fellows fea-
lures, was sharp commentary upon the
fleeing character of all human happiness.
Thus rudely snatched from the cloud.

that it Is nowhere stated thai: the progen-

Amid the tittering of the bridesmaid, and
sympathetic glances from his five minutes

passed over the stamps, and then with
the shreds of his rudely torn romance
hanging about him, and his first expert

Alas for the vanity
~ Chr{atian nba.itx,


Reading the article in last weeks BULL
ETIN, / could but think how quick we
were to speak and see what is floating on
the troubled tide of our little community
and still more how careful we should be
to weigh every report to the hurt of our
neighbor, before giving it a wide circula-
ton. In times of excitement men have
been tried, judged, condemned and hung
unjustly, their innocence afterward prov.
en-, that they were the victims of preju-
dice and strong circumstantial evidence,
and suffered the extreme penalty of the
law, when their judges thought they were
doing right. So it is often the case, when
persons character is assailed, and they
are dragged before the public tribunal,
and are judged and condemned-not with
mercy and patience-but with a satisfac.
ton that the lovers of scandal enjoy as
precious morsel for their hungry palates.
While the public fever runs high, and the
public pulse is bounding, like turbulent
stream casting forth mire and dirt,
the reputation of their victim is splashed
all over with mud and slime, and their
once fair reputation cast to-the winds that
carry it to hundreds of families, scattered
over ::.A.ese prai.ies and woodlands, that
like thistle-down it settles and takes root,
never to be cradicated. After a time,
when the fever cools down, and the pub
lie pulse has regained its even beat, and
the reaction comes, in nine cases out of
ten the truth will appear plain that great
wrong has been done, a great sin commit
ted. l would only add this good saying
of our dear, loving Saviour, who not only
pities his troubled, weary children, but
loves them to the end, and when they do
wrong, if they really do, He said, HE
that is without sin, let him cast the first
stone" How few there are that always
do right! Then let us cast the mantle of
charity over all erring ones, and reach
forth our strong hand to help them to get
their right foothold again, and God will
add His blessing to us and them, for mer-
cy is one of His darling attributes.

were all sold at higher prices than here.
Japan teas were sold in caddies for So. 25,
that were never sold for more than $500

for 1871 cents per pound, that has always
retailed here for 10 cents. Raisins were
sold for "a. 10 per box that can be bought

Ground coffees for 81 cents that can be
bought here for 25 cents. Java coffees
364 cents per pound, that the same grade
can be bought here for 80 cents; in fact
there was not a single article sold except
sugar, but could have been bought for
less money here"

DEMONSTRATING the storm Of We'd
nesday evening, there was just little the
most extensive and brilliant display of
celestial fireworks that has ever been seen
in this region. For twenty minutes be-
fore the storm broke over our city, the
regular and heavy discharges of electrici-
ty at intervals of about one minute, re-
sembled volleys Of heavy artillery, and
very forcibly reminded old soldiers of
their campaigning days. When the storm
came, the brilliant and inccssant flashes
Of the lightning, followed Immediately by
the thunder crash was terribly sublime
and not at all comfortable to nervous peo-
pie. During the height of the storm the
house of Mr.. VIM. Few, at the upper end
of Main St., was struck by lightning
The bolt entered at chimney on the front
end of the house, passed down, tore
off portion Of the plsstering in the cham.
Der and threw stone into the room, and
from thence passed to the parlor on the
lower floor, where it tore up the carpet
and set it on fire, besides smashing the
windows and creating confusion general
ly. The strangest part of the proceeding
was that the family were sitting at tea in
the adjoining room with the parlor door
open, saw the whole performance, smclt
the birthstone fumes, and heard the
crashing discharge as of hundred mus.
kets, but were not affected by the stroke.
The dwelling of Mr. H. B. Brownell,
on the west side of the river was also
struck, and slightly damaged. Mrs. B.
was lying on a sofa ON the side from
whence came the shock, and though COW
cred with the falling plaster from the wall
and coming out with the smell of fire OH
her garments, escaped with nothing more
serious than a thorough fright.
An unoccupied frame dwelling on the
farm of S. r. Shipley, four miles north of
this city, was struck and pretty thorough
ly demoralized, almost every part of it
being torn and racked. The siding on
one side was rent into chips, and timbers
were thrown about prOmiscously. The
man who didn't live there may thank his
stars for narrow escape

Jon PRINTINe.-We are just little
proud Of the facilities possessed by the
BULLETIN job Office for doing fine print
ing, and q job of City Bonds just executed
at this Office, will we think, do to set up
against similar work done in the larger
cities. 1t is just plain job in black ink,
with nothing but skill and taste to COM
mend 1t, but we are not ashamed to own
it. 1t gives us pleasure also to justify the
good sense and justice of the city authori-
tics in getting it done at home, instead of
sending to Dubuque and elsewhere as is
too often done. 1t seems to be SO natural
for some people to think that nothing
tasteful can be done by home printers,
and mechanics; and the consequence is
that they accept very inferior jobs from
abroad, rather than trust their orders to
home skill.

IMPRovExENTs.-The rebuilding of our
burned city is progressing with q celebrity
and energy that bids fair to wipe out all
visible traces of the disaster even before
the snow flies. The south side of Main
street, ..ctween Walnut and the river
presents a scene of industry and life not
surpassed by Chicago when she rose from
the ashes. Here are eighteen contiguous
stores being rebuilt and n. arly all in like
state of forwardness. Piles of brick and
lumber cucumber the street and hundreds
of workmen ply the tools of their voca-
tons, making an inspiriting scene of
thrift and industry.
Since our last report the following bu-
siness enterprises are announced:
E. N. WEIGH has purchased the second
lot from the river in the Wilcox Block
and is rebuilding.
S. M. Osgood has bought the site of his
old place of business, and has swarm of
laborers and mechanics at work, erecting
new building.
N. Burr is actively engaged in prepar-
ing to build four stores on the ruins of his
block on Chatham St.
G. W. Burden has bought of Mr.. Burr,
the lots upon which the St. James Hotel
stood, and has gone to work with energy
to build new st. James, where as of old,
he expects to cater to the wants of the
travelling public,
T. Sherwood and J. F. Lyman have
hitched teams, and this week have bro
ken ground on the northwest corner of
Walnut and South Streets, for new brick
livery stable, SO by 80 feet.
Negotiations are in progress that rem
der it not improbable that fine block
of four stores, with a splendid Opera
House in the second story, may soon rise
from the ashes of heSMontour House.

Fourth was quiet day in our city. Many
of our people went out of town, and as

the majority just settled down to the SUI
prcme task of trying to keep cool; with
Indifferent success as we have occasion to
know. No incident of specialimportance
occurred, and the town was very orderly
