While some fishermen were fishing at

the genuine western grasshOppers.
They were sent him by his wife. who
is at present visiting her sister, in Man.

closely confined ,4hey are as lively as

We sincerely hope that Indiana soil
may never be cursed with their appear

One of the most terrific wind and
and rain storms that has visited this
place for years, came upon us last
Wednesday. Considerable damage was
done in the country by blowing down
timber, fences, unrOofing buildings and
upsetting smoke stacks. There was no
material damage down in town except
the twisting off of shade trees and
blowing off portion of the roof from
the main building of Ashton's machine
shop. We do not want to witness an
other blow like it sOOn.-Peru Sentinel.
Valparaiso Vidette: Boys i'm the habit
of jumping on outgoing trains should
take warning from the narrow escape
from death of one of their namber last
Sunday. The boy slipped and fell as
he struck the step and his clothes caught
on the projecting end of a bolt, and he
was dragged on his back and head sew
eral rods across the ties, till he came to
cattle guard, and his weight coming
down suddenly, his clothes gave way
and he fell below. He was picked up
insensible, but no serious injury follow
ed.
The largest hail stones we have ever
seen> fell here on Wednesday afternoon
June second, varying from the size OF
hickory nuts to that of hens eggs,
plentiful enough to make the ground
look speckled, and as hard as ordinary
solid ice. Some of them were as round
and smooth as long washed pebbles Oh
the lake shore; others seemed composed
of many small ones stuck together
with their intersticeS filed and frozen
solid, showing their distinctness only
on the outside of the mass. Hardly

rectly after it's occurrence, before the
dry goods boxes and such other light
affairs were moving eastward upon the
street before hurricane, like sleds, ex.
cept that they occasionally tumbled over.
Fences in the open country must likely
have yielded to its force and left some
fields exposed. Valparaiso Vidette.
Peru Republicans: Inhabitants of the
western regions devastated by the grass
hOpperS are distributing these danger.
Gus pests over the States by send
