Our attention has recently been called to the

ly new in the way of heavy, thick, warm, woolen

DURING the cyclone which prevailed
at Madison Thursday afternoon, a man
named Rice had a remarkable adventure.
He was out upon the lake with row

its burden into the air, whirled them
around few seconds, and set them
down again. The scene was beheld from
the shore by number of spectators.
Three water spouts formed on Third

height and over six feet in diameter.
