Mr.. Charles Whitney, who was seriously
injured in last week Wednesdays storm, has
materially improved for the past few days.
Doctors Crowley and Switzer, his physicians,
have some hopes that he may recover. Mrs.
Whitney is gradually recovering. Peter
Hughes and the Olson boys are all doing well.
So far it appears that only the three persons
whom we mentioned last week, were killed
Mrs. Peterson and her little daughter, and
Mr.. Bergqust. Very fortunate it was that nc
more lives were lost. 1t seems hardly posi-
BILE that so many escaped uninjured.

Among the sufferers by the late storm was
Mr.. Harvey d. Case, living near Bavaria. His
house, l6x20 feet with stone walls two feet
thick, was left in a terribly shattered condi-
ton. The roof was blown Of, and the walls
cracked and ruined. One box of winter
clothing, stored in the garnet, was blown
away and cannot be found. One yoke of his
oxen was blown some sixty rods, and the
horns of one OF them torn of. His COW was
terribly bruised. He also loses his grain and
vegetables. To show the force OF the storm
in that locality, we may state that the water
in pond near Mr.. Cases house was entirely
blown out. Mr.. Case is a sober. industrious
man, and his loss falls heavily upon him.
That he is highly esteemed by his neighbors
may be safely said from the fact that all of
them are doing ali in their power to help him
on TO his feet again.

We hear from gentleman who came down
from Salina few days ago, that there APP
pearcd a man in the depot of that place with
several boxes of snakes. lie claimed TO be a
collector for Barnum's museum, and seemed
to understand the business thoroughly. He
would open box, Selling a snake around his
neck, would let it coil around his hand and
arms, and actually put ones head into his
own mouth. One snake, an unusually large
and poisonous one, he would not touch except
on the condition that the bystanders would
raise him five dollars. He was as "iull as a
goose" saying apologetically to his audience.
that it was necessary for him to keep so drunk
all the time TO counterfeit the poison of the
reptiles. Ii will be observed tina. whiskey is
a double back-actng fluid. 1t not only pro-
duces snakes, but is also cure for them.

A green worm has appeared in some of the
wheat fields and, is doing vast amount Of
injury. There is a difference of opinion as to
what name should be given it. Some claim
that il is the army worm. Whatever it is, it
Is spreading wide destruction in white wheat
fields. As a sample of what injury has been
done, Mr.. S. 5. Godfrey reports the loss Of 50
acres, in white wheat. lie is blowing up this
land and putting in corn. When the wheat is
sin the milk the worm is very sure to de-
stroy it. We earnestly hope the raid of these
worms may not be general. They will in all
probability do no damage except to the white
wheat. The habits OF the worm are treated by
a correspondent n..this weeks paper.

A Smart Dog.

A gentleman connected with the New
foundland fishery was once possessed Of a
dog Of singular fidelity and sagacity. On
one occasion a boat and q crew ia his EN-
ploy were in circumstances ofextreme peril
just outside line Of breakers, which, ow-
ing to some change in wind or weather,
had, since the departure Of the boat, rem
dered the return passage through them
most hazardous. The spectators on shore
were quite unable to render any assistance
to their friends afoat. Much time had
been spent, and the danger had increased
rather than diminished Our friend, the
dog, looked on for long time, evidently
aware that there was great cause for anxi-
ETY. in those around. Presently, however,
he took to the water, and made lis way
70 the boat. The crew supposed he wish
ed to join them, and made various at
tempts to induce lin TO come on board,
but he would not go within their reach,
but CONTINUED swimming about short dis
tance from them. After awhile, and sew
eral comments on the peculiar conduct Of.
the dog, one Of the hands OWNED his ap-
parent meaning. Give him the end Of a
rope" he said, that is what he wants. .
The rope was thrown, the dog seized the
end in an instant, turned around and made
straight for the shore, where few minutes
later, thanks to the intelligence ofthe dog,
boat and crew were placed safe and un-
injured Was there no reas @ i
40 acting with a view to an end, or Tor d /
given motive? Or was It nothing but or
dinary instinct?

Ought Girls to Ct0nrt2

We have often thought for editors ney-
er speak from experience that young fel-
low must have a good stock of assurance
nay, Of downright impudence-to go
through the'tieklish, terrible, torturing or
deal of q regular courtship. He has not
only to run the gauntlet Of sneering young
gentlemen, but also the gauntlet of gos-
siping young ladies to be talked Of, and
to be the mark Of Watchfui observations
for tee whole neishborhood in which his
fair one scsides. Nor is this all. IF his
addresses are only acceptable to one mem
Der Of tie family, and that member the
Of the garnered-up love of a
whole life, he is sure to meet the savage
glanees Of savage brothers, and is Just as
sure to encounter other equally fattering
manifestations of paternal, maternal, or
fraternal opposition. Now this is all wrong.
The exchanges should be more eqaalized;
and some are sangaine enough to believe
that the day IS not Tar distant when they
will be equaiized when we shall hear Of
young ladies paying their addresses to
young gentlemen, visiting them nightly at
thei rhousesi inviting them to ride, to walk,
to dance, tossing, to eat ice-eream, and, as
soon as matters are brought to an interest
ing crisis, "poE ping the question" Itself
All! what q delightful thing it would be,
furriedly waiting in our mothers parlor,
carefully brushed and strapped, to be
courted To be tenderly stared at, night
after night, BY girl after girl to have ones
brown, rough hand occasionally squeezed /
And to have ones waist delicately encom-
passed (of course only alter the engage
ment') by some Of the most delicately tap
erin9 arms Ill the world

Good Advice.

Some years ago a young man presented
himself to the then United States Seere-
tary Gorwin, for clegkship. Thrice was
he refused and still made fourth effort.
His perseverance and spirit Of determine
ton awakened a friendly interest in his
welfare, and the Secretary advised him,
i'll the strongest possible terms, to abandon
his purpose and goto the West, if he could
do no bettor outside the departments
MY young friend" he said, 'Ego to the
Northwest, buy 100 acres Of Government
land or, if you have not the money to pur-
chase, squat on it !; get you an ak and
mattoek /; put up a log cabin for habita-
ton, and plant Little corn and potatoes
keep your conscience clear and live like a
free man; your own master with no one
to give you orders, and without depend

'Well, the short Of the matter is, that
you cant have one
Why can'tI have one as well as the

GOD IN THE STORM.

"Did you hear the storm last night, my child,
AS it burst Ger the midnight sky,
When the thunder ratified loud and wild
And the lightning fiicker'd by7"
II heard no tempest, mother mine
was buried in sumber sweet;
Dreaming l stood in the soft moonshino,
With flowers about my feet
"Can it be, my child, that you did not hear
The roar of the tempest breath,
As it scatter'd the rent leaves far and near
In many an eddying wreath?"
"No, mother; my happy sleep was full
Of gentle and holy things
Shapes that were graceful and beautiful,
And the music Of angels, wings"
"Yet thestorm was loud my darling child
There was death on the hurryfns blast;
And yapors dark overhead were piled,
As the hoarse wind beloved past"
q thought not Of clouds my mother dear,
When l rose from my uurse's knee;
You taught me that God is forever near.
So what danger could see ~
d" taught You well, my sinIess one;
Yet my own weak spirit quaii'l,
As the midnight blast rolled madIy on,
And the Iao0u's calm lustre faild.''
We're you wrong, then mother when you said
That Gods eye turned not away.
But in darkness watched about my bed
AS it did on my lath BY day?"
81 am rebnked!" was the meek reply,
AS the mother bent her knee:
" On theIip Of babes may 4 lesson lie
have learnt one, child, from thee;
His wrath, which makes the sinner weep,
By guilty conscience veX'd,
Does but deepen the sinless infants sleep,
And rock it to gentle rest.
And while thusdors hoa1sely peal around,
Speaking woes to the wording's ear,
The Lord in his mercy stills their sound
When innocence is near;
And while his living fire appals
The guilty here below,
The shadow Of the savior falls
On childhoods sleeping brow
