DIR. PIERCE's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are so compounded from concentrated prin-
ciples, extracted from roots and herbs, as to
combine in each small granule, scarcely
larger than a mustard seed, as much cathartic
power as is contained in any larger pills for
sale in drug-stores. They are not only pleas
ant to take, but their operation is easy
unattended with any gripping pain. They
operate without producing any constitu-
tional disturbance. Unlike other cathartics
they do not render the bowels costive after
operation, but, on the contrary, they estab-
lish permanently healthy action. Being
entirely vegetable, no particular care is re.
quired while using them.
Fire hundred dollars re,cdrd is offered by
the proprietor to any one who will detect in
these Pellets any calomel or other form of
mercury, mineral poison, or injurious drug.
They are sold by Druggists.

GEORGE TIcKNoR thus describes the
way in which the news of Washipgton's
death was received: There was never a
more strikingor spontaneous tribute paid
to man than here in Boston when the
news came of Washington's death (1799).
II was little before noon; and often
heard persons say at the time that one
could know how far the news had spread
by the closing of the shops. Each man,
when he heard that Washington was
dead, shut his store as matter Of course,
without consultation, and in two hours
all business was stopped. My father came
home and could not speak, he was 30
overcome; my mother was alarmed to see
him in such a state, till he recovered
enough to tellher the sad news. For some
time every one, even the children, wore
Grape on the arms; no boy could 60 into
the street without it. 1 wore IL, though
only eight years old.

A Destructive bail Storm Visits Our County

| The EAGLE made mention, last week. OF q
hail storm that passed through the western
| portion of this county on the afternoon Of the
2sth. At that writing we were not aware
that any particular damage was done TO the
crops. 1t appears that the storm was not
only damaging, but very destructive for a
strip from two to four mile wide, extending
along between the Cowskin and Minnesota,
crossing the latter near the county line and
passing on through Sumner county to near
the line of the Indian Territory, the general
direction being southeast. In its path the
magnificent wheat fields that in the morning
promised a rich and abundant harvest, at sun
down were nothing but fearful waste. The
hail stones were about the size of walnut
and fell in immense quantities. I'VE are told
by reliable men that conglomerate stones, con-
sisting of a dozen or so of the regular hail
frozen together as large as goose eggs, fell
here and there. Prairie chickens, jack rab-
bits, snakes and domestic fowls were killed
and horses knocked down. Young orchards
suffered badly, one man showed US his hands
that were skinned in places by the falling hail.
A heavy rain accompanied and succeeded the
hail, flooding the prairies in places. The sad
est incident Of the storm was the loss OF the
life of young Martin PARCELS, son of James
PARCELS, bright boy about fourteen years Of
age, who was with an older brother breaking
prairie at the time the storm broke upon
them. 1t seems that the cattle, through
fright, ran of during the storm, after which
the two hoys starfed on their horses 10 over
take and bring them back. In attempting to
cross ravine which the foods of falling wa
ter had suddenly filed bank full the youngest
lost his balance and was swept away by the
terrible torrent. His body was not found I'M
til the next day. The entire neighborhoed
sympathise with the parents in their sad be-
reavenent, as will all who read OF the ca
lamity.
OF course we cannot give the fun extent OF
the damage done to both counties. but from
Thomas Weston and Mr.. Alexander we learn
the extent the principal losses in our own
county, OF course not all Some of the fields
of wheat were left without single standing
head. The young corn was literally beaten
into the ground. The prairie grass even, in
places was killed. 1t ravines the hail drifted
up several feet deep. The following named
farmers of Sedgwick county, in addition to
other loss and damage, had the amount of
wheat destroyed set opposite their names.
The most of these plowed up their ground,
we believe, and put it into corn. Some OF the
fields not so badly cut up will be left to ma
ture partial crop:
