Jim Earper's Dog.

ne came INTO one OF our merchants
stores, fastened its teeth in the back Of an
innocent Tabby, sending the latter young
lady On the desk. and resulting in her M
setting bottle of red and one Of black
ink on the pages OF al opened ledrer. and
playing smcsh generally. This aroused
from his slumhefs veteran old Tom who
was stretching his form and about con.
Guiding his first yawn, when the dog seiz
cd hini by the ear, and the overture com
menced. At last Tom succeeded in gsin
ing top shelf afterknock;pg dowr divers
articles from the 10 ser ones, and com
menced an active conversation with miss
Tabby who was peeping out from pigeon
hole liz the desk. Our mc.chan: didn',
swear. He simply took an oyster can and
placing in it some pebbles, took buck
skin string and securely fastened it to the
can. Then he quietly gave Harper's DOG
nice steak and as quietly attached the
can 10 his tail. Jim Harper lives two
miles out OF town. He saw a cloud of
dust, and gently said Come, Booty, poor
little Boozy!" But Booty didn't come he
went. BY this time he is under the pro
lection Of the British Lion. Booty was
not known as fleet dog, but jim says he
ran so fast that the flying hairs filed the
air. We regret this cruelty to dogs mus,
be INDUCED in. 1t ls wrong. 1t is no,
only debasing, but hurts the dog-snd is
rough on the can.

The late Conference at Salt Lake City
made several changes in the location of
the ministers of our Territory. and none
that we regret more than the loss to this
community of Rev. T. G. Tiff, who is uni
vcrsally esteemed for his piety and genial
nature, and as an expounder Of the gospel
we know of no one who rendered such
general satisfaction. Practical and com
|prehensive in his discourses, he at the
same time intersperses them with pccu.
liar eloquence, forcible and effective in
ITS nature. He has been located at Vir
ginia City. and Rev. Mr., Cluckner, who
has been the resident minister at Corinne,
Utah, takes his place here. While our
people will give the latter gentleman 9
cordial welcome to his new field of labor,
they cannot but regret the loss of Mr..
Tiff and his inestimable lady, who have
|endeared Themselves to the community by
their many good deeds and kindly sym
pathy for those IN distress.

Effects of a Tornado.

The Minneapolis Tribune relates some of the pranks cut by tornodo, near Mendota, Minn., which read rather "fshy." We are told, among other things, that a pine tree two inches square was driven into an elm tree with such force that it was fairly bedded in the living wood. A woman, Mrs. Patrick Fully, was carrieda distance of five rods, clear across one ravine and deposited in another. The lady is still suffering se- verely from her injuries, having been badly cut and bruised. A farmer, named Edward Pareau, living two miles east of Mendota, owned little flock of fifteen sheep when the storm struck his place, and of this number eleven are missing. Subsequently eight of them were found in the tree tops fully one mile from his house. Two of them were found pinned together by board that had been driven through the bodies of the poor animals and then into the ground. The fencing on MT. Pareau's farm was blown from the ground. posts and all. MT. George Gage, living six miles southwest of Men dota, had ten acres of heavy oak timber on his place, and tn y were swept clean by the wind, as if an army of choppers had passed through the tract on @ tour trees, roots and all, were carried 8 dis tance of one and half miles. John Berke, farmer living four miles from Mendota, had his house lifted bodily from it's foundation and torn to pieces while whirling in the air and crashing against other de6ris of the storm.

How Thunder Showers Come Up.

In order to convey more definite idea of our theory we will choose cer- tain locality which may serve the pur- pose of diagram to our demonstration; and this locality shall be the region of West river. This river takes it's rise among the forests near the summit of the Green mountains, at 8 height of some 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, and, flowing southerly forty or fifty miles, empties into the Connecticut river about ten miles from the southern boundary of the State.
 During hot summer day the sides of the deep valley of this river reek with intense heat, and causes flow of moist air upward toward the summit of the mountain ridge, from the valley of the Connecticut and also from the sea. This moist air, meeting with the general cur rent from the southwest, piles up an immense mass of cumulous clouds of of many square miles in extent. So long as the intense heat prevails this cloud increases in size; grows blacker with it's dense vapor, and casts gloomy, lurid glare over the face of nature, darker than that of any eclipse. The vapor, pushed by the ascending cur rents of heated air, attains to a great height above the sea, where the tempera- ture is very low. But finally, at that hour of the afternoon when the heat be- gins to decline, the accumulated vapors, no longer augmented or sustained by heated air from the valleys below, fall in rain.-Popular Science Monthly.

Soldiers AmusementS.

An English journal gives US glimpse of one of the favorite pastimes of the members of regiment of lancers. An ordinary tent-peg is lightly driven into the ground, and the soldier endeavors to pick it up with his lance while going at a full galop. The sport is thus describ- ed: On he comes, urging his steed with voice and heel to attain the necessary speed, giving his lance flourish or two, and finally, as he hears the peg, balanc- ing it for his aim as he whizzes by. He fails, and so do eight of his immediate successors, some striking the ground wide of the mark, and others steering so unnecessarily that it is scarcely worth while for them to make the critical effort. Then starts lancer favored by both skill and fortune as he approaches the protruding, be it remembered, but 8 few inches above the turf-he steadies the lance in his firm right hand, he draws his arm back for the instantane. ous lunge, and as his spear flies round, over his head, there is seen transfxed upon it the tent-peg which was the im- mediate object of all these furious gal. lops. As men and horses warm to their work the practice improves, until at last about one peg in three charges becomes the average of the game.

A Desperate Fight.

A letter dated at Moron, Cuba, says: A few rebels approached the town and burned brickyard and outbuildings. The volunteers, firemen and "Guardia Civilies, which garrisoned this place the starting point of Valmaseda's hobby, the trocha-beat to quarters and march ed out of the fortified lines, and the small force of rebels who had committed the depredations retired after a few shots.
 The volunteers, however, lost two of their comrades and insisted OF making a charge to recover the bodies of their companions. As they advanced the rebels fell back to the woods, the volun- teers following them until they reached an ambuscade, where they were all killed.
 Their long absence from the town in duced the governor to send out about forty mounted men to ascertain the re- suit of the firing; and, on reaching the spot where their companions in arms had been slaughtered, they, too, in their turn, with the exception of a few, met the same fate.
 The rebels retired and, two days after ward, the authorities of Moron sent out a squad of troops, with OK carts, China men and negroes, to recover and bury the dead, the number of which is said to exceed one hundred.
