no odor lies in the fact that the earth with

What Befsll Young Ran From Free.

He was nice young fellow, not more
than Is years of age, and he lives in Free
port now, but formerly he worked on the
sheep clodings mans road in this city.
He was just the kind of g hair pin-as he
thought-to win any girls affection, and
so, as he passed one Of our hotels last
evening, he could not resist the tempt alton
to firt with some of the servant girls
who were standing around the door
of the side entrance He waved his hand
his heart was full when he found that his
signal for walk had been answered by
the one whom he most desired to become
acquainted with-a handsome young girl,
with pretty face, perfect form, and such
soft, pleading grdy eyes. She started
down the street and the Freeport heart
smasher followed. He overlook her at the
next corner, and commenced his Irritation
by exclaiming, while he held his left hand
over bis right breast, 1T affords me the
greatest what he would have said will
never be known, for at that moment he
thought the building had either fallen over
or that mule had kicked him. But he
soon discovered his mistake. That meek
looking young creature had made q dive
for his head, and, securing his hat and a
hsndful Of his auburn curls, she had given
him slap in the face, the noise of which
attracted the attention Of all by-standers.
The Frceport youth could wait no longer,
but rushed off bareheaded, and a few
minutes after was seen coming out of Jonas
Bear store with new hat His hat was
afterwards returned to him with the re.

mother" He probably took the advice,
as he was seen at the Rockford depot this
morning enquiring when the train left for
Sterling. He don't firt now, anyhow.

An interesting Interview of n. Y Her
aid correspondent with Gov.Seymour, which
took place previous to the late Utica con
vention, will be found in this paper, and in
which Gov Seymour went into philoso-
phical analysis of the political situation.
and indicated the true issues Of the coming
presidential campaign. He rightly treats
the prevalent corruption as a disease en-
gendered by the war, and views as the
awakening of the moral sense of the coun-
try the present determination to uproot
the evil in the government. His further
points, that the Republican party must be
overthrown before we can expect any re.
turn to health, that it is powerless to &C
complish reform, and that the party that
has been disconnected with the corrupt
administration must and will be successful
in the coming contest, are sound and
statesmanlike. Gov Seymour raises the
the true war cry when he makes it reform.

The terrible tornado, cyclone, wind auger
or whatever the terror-inspiring visitation
may be called, which caused so much
damage in this city in few brief moments
last Saturday night. seems to have ex-
tended over a large extent of territory.
Starting from the Rocky Mountains,
striking at Leavenworth and other points
in eastern Kansas, thence travelling north
eastcrly in track sometimes two or three
hundred miles in width, until it reached
Lake Michigan at Chicago, where it finally
exhausted itself These singular and de-
structivc wind storms seem not to cling
continuously to the earth's sur face, but are
apparently alternately attracted or re-
PEELED as ii governed by some law OF
| electricity, now striking the earth, boring
huge holes, and utterly demolishing every
thing standing in their path, and anon
bounding upwards and leaving the surface
untouched. This was apparently the
history OF the last storm, and it was for
tunate fer Chicago that it was so, and that
its force was nearly spent when 1t strnck
the city. At Leavenworth the storm
passed through the heart of the city .crush

had been mere toys of card board, dam

The damage done in this city by tn,
terrific tornado of Saturday evening is es
timated at about 100000. The demoli
ton of the Michigan Southern railroad
freight depot, the unroofing of the ole
county hospital, and the destruction of tn,
steeple of Grace Episcopal church, ar
among the chief incidents of the storm
but many other buildings in various part
OF the city were more or less damaged
and much loss was occasloned by the UP
setting of lamp posts, the tearing up @
plank sidewalks, the destruction of sign
boards,etc. Several parsons were serious
ly injured, and one boy instantly killed

blows Chicago has ever experienced, ant
