waterspout-Towu Destroyed.

ST, LOUIS, October "A correspond
ent of the Globe Democrat at Los Cruces,
New Mexico, says: A tremendous water
spout suddenly appeared in the hills,
about one mile back of town, at halt-past
five in the afternoon of the lth of Sep
tcmbcr, and before the citizens had time
to comprehend the impending calamity
it was upon them. The tall, dark column
of water and dust approached with such
velocity that in less than ten minutes
from the time of its Observance and before
ten dollars worth OF personal property
could be saved by any one ofthe inmates,
sixty-three houses had been pushed to the
ground. The streets were soon covered
to a depth of four or five feet with water,
and current of such strength that large
boulders were carried away. Two hours
later the rain fell in torrents and continu-
ed several hours. In all the wreck and
ruin of fallen houses, strange TO say, not
a single life was lost. On Sunday the
entire population was out repairing the
damage MS much aS possible, in order
that the homeless might be housed and
cared for. Work was kept up on Mon
day, and every body began to look cheer
ful when, at four o'clock, another water
spout made its appearance from the exact
spot at which its predecessor was first
noticed and came on with equal ccleriiy.
Sixteen houses, fortunate enough to es-
cape the previous visitation, were tumblcd
down, and their contents totally destroy
ed. The damage done by these storms
will figure up to $4,000 at the least cal
culation. Four OF the houses destroyed
were valued at from $4,000 to $4,000
each.

on the head. Zeiver was subsequently

TIE Parkersburg Inquirer says:
About two o'clock Thursday afternoon
two boys by the name Of James Daily
aged twelve years, and William Preston,
aged about eight years, got into fight
on Neal street near the carriage factory
of Mr.. Wright. The oldest boy prov
ing too much for young Preston, the little
fellow pulled out a pen-kniie and gave
his assailant a severe cut in the neck, in
ticting Il dangerous wound, DR.. Davis
was called in and dressed the wound and
expressed the opinion that, while the cut
was dangerous one, yet the boy would
recover. The affair ought to teach boys
the terrible consequence of street fight
ing and parents the duty to watch more
closely over them.
