Boreas wa, ON n rerula

OLD BOreaS was on % regular
tare hereab0nts on Thursday nigh
last week. lie was accompanied by
his three strong allies of destruc
ton, Thunder, Lightning and Rain
and the combined forces of the -four
demolished buildings, broke down
trees, tore up fences and shook VI
things generally. Mr.. VIM. Dickey
in the West part of the town had
|, over twenty rods Of board fence,
on the line between his land aud
that Of Mr.. Geo. Simpson torn down
and scattered over the pasture
from 20 to 60 rods. Large posts
were broken like pipestems,and long
heavy boards were carried to q long
distance. To show the great force OF
the tornado, we may cite the fact
that u beach tree twenty inches in
diameter was twisted off and carried
SIX or eight rods, and then plunged
into the ground with sufficient force
to pillow u f'lrrOw some six or eight
feet long rs deep as an ordinary
breaking-up pillow. Mr.. Geo. Davis,
living on the South Road had an
OK killed in the pasture. From the
appearance it would seem that the
bolt of electricity struck the OK.
Usually but few or no marks are
left on animals when killed by light
eninG, but this OK had both horns
t"rh OF, one ear gone, and five OF
t.e eight hools missing. Mr.. n,
l lplm of TopSham had Il shed
b,own down, in which there was
ock, but none of them were iDjur.

man Thayer of Waits River, situa-
ted on the hill between John Clark's

to say, none of them were serious.
|, injured. The storm broke down
l. any apple and other trees and did
considerable damage. In some
places large trees were blown across
TIC road rendering passage imp0s-
stole for several hours Friday fore
noon. All in all, it was one of the
old blows we have had for
many years.

THE HER AL D.
THE PATRONS.
The National Grange at Charlottesville and
Strength of the Order.

The eighth annuul session of the
National Grange of the Order OF Pat
rons of Husbandry was held in
Charleston, South Carolina, February
8. The following gives a brief sketch
of the rise and the remarkable prog
ress of this Order:
In the year closing December 4,
1868, ten oranges were established
at Harrisburg, Pa, Fredonia, n. Y,
Columbus, o., and Chicago, one each,
and six in Minnesota. In 1869, 80
dispensations were issued; in 1870,
SO; in 1871, l25. In 1872 the grange
was fairly launched on the popular
sea, as when the "National Grange"
January s, 1873, held its sixth (really
It's first) session at Washington there
were 1862 oranges organized. Nine
teen state oranges were represented,
though there were but these entitle d
by organization: Iowa, Illinois Wis.
consin, Indiana, South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi, Nebraska and Kansas. Iowa
had 754 of the / 1862 oranges. When
The National grange next met at St.
Louis, Feb 4, 1874, it reported"10,000
oranges with 1,OoO,o 900 members (the
latter an exaggerated estimate), an
annual revenue of *l32,151.28, and a
balance in the treasury of S52,8l7 rs,
At the meeting twenty-five thous-
and subordinate oranges were repre-
scented, with an aggregate member
ship of 100000, including women
The grange organs place the member
ship much higher, but 20 is a very
Just average. The official returns fol-
December, 1874, showed the oranges
to be distributed as 20 lows:

The Transit of Venus.

The New York World publishes a
dispatch from London, giving the
following in eresting facts obtained
from the recent observations: "The
first tentative computations made at
Greenwich of data obtained from OBJ
servatiOns of the recent transit OF
Venus, have yielded results some
what different from what was expec-
ted. Four calculations made inde~
pendently gives the SUMS parallax as
being spectively 900 seconds, 345
seconds, 925 seconds, and 920 seconds,
the mean Being 924 seconds. The
computations were made by Prot.
O Henri. Pa ID. of the University
College, Mr. Frederick Guthrie, If
the Royal School Of Mines and Ar.s,
and Messrs Dunkin and q Is, a,sis-
tants of the Roy Observatory
Greenwich. No calculations have
yet been completed at Kew O5serva-
tory. The computations as given
moments of external and internal
contrasts IS reported from different
points of observation. aud may be
considerably modified when photo
graphic and micrOmetic measures
ments are taken into account"
Based on this dispatch, the World
remarks on the authority of an
American astronomer, a. fJIl1ws !:
TO say that the suns paralllx has
been ascertained to be 924 seconds
is to say that the sun is distant from
u about % 1913 semi-diameter4 Of the
earth. or 50 4l3 726 miles. This is
6,926 PA miles less than the distance
made out by Encke from observa-
tipn1 from the l,sg transit and 3 000.-
900 or 4 900, 900 less than the resul 5
obtained by more recent measure
ment+. 1t this ratio were constant
we should require LAO years to
overcome tho entire distance and
fall into the suo. But, as it is GER
tain that our centripetal motion
would DO vastly accelerated contin>
ually as wo got closer within the
sphere OF the suns attraction, unless
his forces should be proportionately
decreased, or his volume reduced, it
j. also probable that we should con-
sure very much less than is above
given in making the tremendous
Journey"
