In company with our old friend Rms

We made a flying trip to Thorn township
one day last week, and with pleasure
viewed the landscape o'et Of tha. classic
region now rich in promise for full
granaries this Iall. In an agricultural
aense there ia "no discount" on old
Thorn; and, in this season of protracted
dry SPELLS" while other portions Of our
county will have to report an unusually
light corn crop, hers will come pretty
nearly up to her regular average
Throughout the township, evidences Of
thrift and substantial comfort are abun-
dant, and that her farmers are progress
ing, and growing richer there can be no
doubt. We spent few hours in Thorn
vile, calling upon old aequaintances and
forming some new onez-all of whom
speak hopefully of the business prospect
of their "Illage-which is, in fact, al
ready one of the best business points in
the county. We hope soon to be able to
make a more extended trip through this
ownship-combinin9 business with
pleasure-when we shall take some notes
and write up such matters as will likely
interest our readers in that direction.

A London correspondent states that,
"There as about as much interest felt
here in the Beecher-Tilton case as there
is with you. We doR't know mnch, and
care less about Mr.. Tilton, but we do
know all about Mr.. Beecher, and the
case is just the one to interest our gossip
and-scandal-loving community. Every
important feature is promptly telegraph
ed, and l suppose We knew of Tilton,s
arrest within half al hour after it oc-
CURED. Everybody is talking about the
case, and l understand there has been
some high betting on the result"

Thursday evening a tremendous hail
storm swept the country some six miles
south of the city, in the vicinity of the
Reform Farm, devastating orchards
and grain fields to a great extent. Hail
stones were brought in the city from
the neighborhood of the Farm after the
storm az large as hens eggs, and the
gentleman who brought them said the
ground was Rtrewn white with them.
In the Clearport country the storm

miles the cornfelds we're beaten as fat

tainly a wonder, and performs its work
quicker, with more facility and efficien-
cy, for its magnitude, than any other en-
gine in use It was thoroughly tested
on Monday evening heforea large crowd
of people and competent committee.
4 building was erected on the commons
north of the city for the purpose, at the
expense of the Agent of the engine, and
the test fairly made. The building was
of dry inch pine lumber, "a feet long,
20 feet high, and Is feet wide, with door,
two windows and scuttle in the roof,
making strong draft-in which were
placed FIVE large hogsheads and twelve
barrels, one of which was grease bar
rel; large amount of kindlings and
straw, then the whole pile, and inside of
the building, was saturated with ten gal
Ions Of coal oil.
The Mayor, Council, President, Chief
and Engineer of the Fire Department
we're the committee. Messrs. Mithoff,
Hunter, jackson and Whitley, of the
City Council, fired the building. One
and half minutes after the building
was lighted it was thoroughly on FIRE,
driving the crowd back from IS 10 so
feet. The signal TO play was given by
Mr.. jackson; the stream was not let on
however, till about one minute thereaf-
ter; and it took but two and half min
utes to extinguish the fre-to the a.

On Tuesday morning the engine was
tested in throwing q stream. II threw
