their foundations. In one instance
horse was discovered in cellar, whittier
he must have been caffied from a stable
fifty yards away.
James .Leslie, an old man who Is full
cousin Of Andrew Jack kson, was sleeping
in his bed in the second story Of his large
brick residence, when the wind struck
the house and tore out one end, carrying
him, together with his bed, out into the
road, and without injuring him in u
least.
The vacant lots in the town in some
places are covered with lath and shingles,
which were forced into the ground to the
depth of four OF five inches.
The family of Mr.. Jasper Jennings,
composed of ten persons, made most
miraculous escape. The foundation and
first story of the house were blown out
from under it, and the second story and
roof fell down, and was almost fiattened.
The family were all crowded together in
! a place three feet high, and from thence
were only rescued by the assistance OF
those who had escaped
After the wind subsidized, immense
quantities of hail fell ranging in size
| from a walnut to hens egg.
The town to-day presents most pitia-
| bic appearance. The destruction of prop
erty has fallen upon those who are lily
able TO bear it. To add TO the terror ol
the scene, two houses which were blowT
down took fire and were consumed.

Facts about Insects.

In 1872 the caterPillars of the brown
tail moth were so numerous as to defoliate
the trees of a very large part of the South
of England. The alarm was so great that
public prayers were offered in the churches
that the calamity might be stayed. The
poor were paid one shilling per bushel Ter
collecting caterpillars' webs to be burned
under the inspection Of the oyerseer of the
parish; and four score bushels were col
iected daily in some parishes. But on the
other hand, the benefits derived from the
labor of some insects should not he over
looked some species feed only on noxious
weeds and others prey on still more noXlouS
insects. One of the greatest friends OF
the agriCultuIist is the family of ichneu-
mon flies, which lay their eggs in the bod
les of living caterpillars, in which they
are Matched, thus destroying them; al
though the caterpillar, after being = ich-
neumoned," has still a voracious appetite.
The caterpillars which feed on the cab
bage eat twice their weight in day; the
larve of some of the flesh dies eat much
larger proportion than this. The repro
ductive powers of insects vary very much.
Some lay only two eggs; others, such as
the white ant, 10000, 900, laying them al
the rate of sixty minute. The queen of the
beehive is capable OF laying $4,000 in u
season; the female wasp 10000. The ma
jority of insects, however, lay but about
100; in general, the larger the insect the
fewer eggs it lays. Most insects have two
generations in a year some have twenty
others take seven years from the time the
egg is laid until their death in perfect
state. But probably not above flve per
cent. of the eggs laid become perfect IN
spcts Other iusectiVOrous birds are dlll-
gent in destroying the larve of insects,
| but they will not do all that is required
hand labor is also needed.-LOHd0R inles::

The man whose ambition is to simply
live, is of no more importance in this
world than an extra rat is.
Iknow lots of people who are elegant
in theory, but practically amt worth "a
curse; they can tell you just how to take
up mules foot, but they can't do 1t
themselves without getting Knocked end
ways.
Biographies are delightful reading; we
compare all the virtues of the PERSONS
character with our own, and all his lali-
ings with our neighbors.
There is no one so cunning but what he
can be beat at his own game, and none so
wise but he will often have occasion to
marvel at his ignorance.
Young man, if you have doubts about
ANYTHING, give your conscience the bene-
fit of the doubt.
There are lots of Jokes that should be
labeled as some pictures should be
"this is tree" "this is cow"
Counterfeits in many things have got to
be so perfect that it has really become an
evidence of poor judgment not to be de-
ceived by them.
II there is man who is really perfect,
the quicker he pays his debts and leaves
this world, the better. rr-
| III would be gcod uraue LOT any hliu
if he could swap of what he knows fol
what he don't know.
Courage that is merely constitutional IL
Just as apt TO act wrong as right.
Pitch in, young man, pitch in; yol
can't never learn to swim by standing oI
the bank shivering. -.-z--,..---..
Cruelty, deceit and cowardice are tin
triplets that are always found together.
Cunning men are suspicious; thel
know that they are cheats, and seem t
act as though everybody else knew it,

key, withdrew il from the lock and put 1t
in his pocket. Mr.. Bowen stepped back
several feet, and, surveying the situation,
saw means of exit by back door and lie
darted in that direction, upsetting chairs
and other articles of household furniture
in his flight, and escaped from the house
" MIR. Edward Bowen then pointed to me
and said: i will fix you, you will pay
for thisr Henry z. Bowen then ran to the
door, with disheveled hair flying wildly
about, and shouted: Gentlemen of the
press In response TO his cries the re-
porters OF the Associated Press and the
New York Tines came up, and in re-
sponse to their inquiries Mr.. Henry E.
Bowen besought his brother not to make a
fool of himself, saying that | had made an
ass of myself, and that he (Mr. 4. Bowen)
couldn't better the matter by shouting fol-
members of the press" ft
