GRANVILLE STUART, of Deer Lodge,
Montana, suspecting cold weather, sent
to New York for fine spirit thermometer.
To his surprise it never marked more
than thirty degrees below, and then he
found that was it's utmost limit. He says
it will do for a summer thermometer,
but is too short by forty Eight inches for
a Montana winter.

The LAZY of 1874, known as the 'EPatter law"
is discussed at considerable length. Tt is claimed
that it lis the result Of 8 rather late awakening
of the people, especially the producing popula-
ton, to ahe important fact that, while none of
the railway companies by whom they were
served were over-prosperous, yetsone of them
had long been ndulging in certain acts of I'M
just partality and unreasonable charges which
ought to be corrected, and that tho Constitution
of the State afforded them the basis of an ads-
quate legal remedy"
It's chief merits are discussed under the fol-
lowing heads: cit is based On the principle Of
general rather than specific Legislation = MAX
imum preferable to specific rates ;" cit pro-
yides for correc& information as a basis Of flu
ture action )" lit bears heavily on the new
| roads :" 1.-THE law is not sufficiently elastic !;
stThe law takes no account of short distances .
g. It fixes the maxima for car loads only 1T
treats connecting lines as continuous, but is
silent as to division Of earnings !" 1T imposes
duties impossible of accomplishment !" eth
law inadequately provides for enforcement.
From these heads, the reader can infer to some
degree the nature of the argument upon them
We regret that we cannot give it In full.
The question of remedial measures is dis

LA SALE COUNTY ELECTION.

The fact is, we feel so comfortable over the
result Of the election on Tuesday in this coun.
ty that the talk IN the Ottawa RepubIicdn
about the "old corrupt ring and party hacks
who have been running the Democratic par.
ty,' sounds ludicrously like the impotcnt
mouthings of an ancient, greasy, ta,,erdema'
lion fishwoman. But Cullen has n right to
ieel bad Never did the old beldame work
harder or ply her mendacious quill more
shamelessly than in this effort to blacken the
character of Mr.. Raymond That all these
efforts should have resulted In so miserable
a failure is humiiating enough, and Cullen
has our coincidence "Lf the country towns
had but polled half vote" he signs, 1.-THE
result might have been 50 different" Very
likely, with another important "if,' if the adj
ditlonal votes had all been cast for Mr. Nor
rill. But ifs won't help it now, and the ma.
loritics of the different towns, as between
Raymond and Morrill,, show the following
outcome. The official count will not be made
until this afternoon:

THE STORM.

The storm on Friday evening and Saturday
Morning of last week, of which We had but a
taste at Ottawa, was really one of the most
notable of the many violent meteorological
perturbations of which the last six m Onths
have been so prolific. Its ravages are traced
north and south from Minnesota 10 Arkansas,
and east and west from Nebraska to the At.
lantic coast. West of the Mississippi, how
ever, the thunderstorm was of short duration,
and was rapidly succeeded by cold north
west wind and fall of snow. Thus at Yank-
ton, Dacotah; at Sioux City and Fort Madi-
son, Iowa; and at Lincoln and Omaha, Ne.
braska, snow fell, varying in depth from two
to five inches; there was also slight snowfal
at Oshkosh and other points in Northern Wis
conSin, as well Nv in Central New York, at
Boston, &c.
Through out almost the entire state of Hi
nOis il was violent thunderstorm, accom-
panied with furious wind, and in places with
a destructive fall of hail. Thus near Dwight
Livingston county, Mrs. Spencer, lady 20
years of age, was alone in her house when
the roof blew of, and she had to crawl on
her hands and knees 30 rods to neighbours
for shelter Nine miles west of there houses
we're lifted from their foundations, and in
some instances carried threeiourths of mile
A man named Geer Saw his stove blown into
a hay.stack, and over one hundred tons of
hay burned thereby A man named Raph
had his house burned, and he was killed
Stables ana other small buildings were car
ried away, hay.stacks were scattered IN all
directions, and several persons were injured
At Roanoke, in WoJdiOrd county, "A water.
spout burst over the village, completely de.
moliShlng three houses. Another house, be.
ing blown down. took fire and was consumed.
At Pckin, Taylorville, Alton, &c, there WAS 3
heavy fall of hailstones like walnus," break.
ing thousands of window panes Houses
were blown down in Sangamon, Macoupin,
Madison and other counties.
The same story OF furious thunderstorm,
with destructive winds aud copious fall Of
rain, comes from all parts of Indiana and
| Michigan. Near Gibson, Ind, the hurricane
struck the farm OF Josiah Snyder and ruined
everything. The residence, a large two story
building containing Mrs. Snyder and seven
chlldren, was unroofed, the chimney blown
