FROM CLARENCE.

VIM. Patton, former resident of
this county, is paying old friends q
visit, and carries his left hand in a
sling minus three fingers, which he
left over in Illinois, by reason of their
coming in contact with sharp cut
ting instrument, used in q manufac-
fury in which he was working. He
remarked that on an average four per-
sons left that institution every year
crippled for life, and thinks himself
fortunate that II was no worse.
For some time it has been currently
reported that VIM. Hueston, a young
man well known in this place, was
taking his final sleep Mt the bottom
of a 6o-foot well in Green ecounty, this
State. The story goes that Hueston
was engaged in digging the well aud
had reached n depth Of sixty feet,
when the sides gave away, and he
was -entombed that distance under
ground, and that the citizens of that
vicinity, realizing the amount of
work that was necessary to recover
possession of his body. concluded to
let it remain where it was and gov
erned themselves accordingly. There
may be no truth in the report, as
stated above, but If such be fact
common decency and the respect
which all should have for q fellow
man, would, at least, demand that the
body be recovered and given suita-
BILE and respectful burial.
Our ball-tossers and bat-wielders
hied themselves into the country the
other day for a tussle on the diamond
field with the "Grangers''-a club
that holds forth in and about Clancy

Ask Judge Hillyer about those
duck eggs If you wish to be fined
for contempt of Court. He says their

Your correspondent paid q flying
visit to Massillon, and found the town
much improved since former visit
and giving hopes Of continuing on in
that line in the future.
From there we passed up the river
to Oxford, and will say that Oxford

es are neat and tasty, well painted,

The crops are looking fair. Some

while the majority is very good.

FROM INLAND.

Crops are growing rapidly. The
late warm weather ID Improving
maize wonderfully. Small grain is
heading out finely. Hay prospects
never better.
Potatoes promise an abundant crop.
The bug has done but little damage
yet as far as we have learned.
Schools are some of them closing
Inland and Shiloh are at least. We
judge all our teachers are giving salts
faction. Somebody always finds it
out and tells some one else If a teach
er has faults, and it IL soon known far
and wide. Why will parents growl
about teachers and never visit their
schools to see for themselves.
Inland celebrates the Fourth this
year in good, old-fashioned, enjoyable
style. A picnic in the grove, music,
speaking, etc. Better go there than
to travel further and fare worse.
A severe storm visited Muscatine
and Scott counties, in this State, on
Monday, the 25th of June. Hail,
wind and Iain in perfect deluge.
But the hail did the damage though
it lasted only fifteen minutes, yet it
swept everything in the form Of vege-
tation before it, leaving the fields des-
titute Of crops save the bare roots OF
corn, and cereals only the shattered
broken down stalks. And after it
was over the huge hail stones lay
three inches deep over the land that
fifteen minutes before was green and
smiling with luxuriant growth. The
storm, though only mile to a mile
and half wide, swept from east to
west a distance of many miles, leav-
ing destruction and devastation in its
track. Damages variously estimated
at from S50o, 900 to 81, 0OO, 900. A to-
tai destruction of everything it seemed
as we passed through the scourged
district the following morning. Farm
ers were standing around discouraged
and disconsolate, with nothing they
could do save talk Of their severe
losses, or patch up their shutters or
broken windows. Every house, with
windows facing the storm, had boards
nailed over them save where shutters
protected, and in some instance even
the shutters were mashed in, and one
place shutters, glass and window sash
all were broken Ivy the fury Of the
hail and wind. One farmhouse had
seventy lights Of glass broken. In
some cases, where seemed to be the
outer edge of the storm path, the
farmers were preparing to cut their
barley for hay, hoping to thus save a
little. But for eight to ten miles
there was to all appearance nothing
left. Not even the potatoes were
spared-tops cut down to the ground.
Garden vegetables Jared the same
fate. Currants and other small fruit
together with half the leaves stripped
from the bushes. The upper and out
er Limits Of the trees stripped as bare
as In winter. Oh! it was pitiable
sight indeed and with relief and
gratitude we turned northward, where
the fields were green and prosperous,
and promise of bountiful harvest lay
before us. God spare our beautiful
land from many such sweeping de-
structions b. l..

DIED.

At her residence in Des Moines,
Iowa, on Wednesday morning, June
9th, 1877, MARTHA, wife of Gen. Ed.
Wright, in the forty-ninth year Of
her age.
The deceased was born, Jan. Sd,
1929, in Columbia county, Ohio. She
was married to her now bereaved
husband at Allegheny City, Pa. in
March, AS; and In 1852 they came
together to find home IN Cedar coun-
ty, where they lived until in 1865 Of
fetal duties took General Wright to
Des Moines. Mrs. Wright had long
been great sufferer, having twice
submitted to a surgical operation for
the removal Of a cancer-never rally
ing from the second one some months
ago.
The personal worth and superior
character, of the deceased made
her great favorite wherever
known, a.d there are very many In
this county who will join in mourn
ing her departure and in extending
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
husband and daughters, as well as e
other relatives, some of whom we he.
lieve are still residents In Cedar.

ment on these noble animals, was drawn
by another band, to a huge open den, in
which like Daniel OF old, sat a man among
lions-nay, among prodigious Bengal Tigers
the most magnificent, yet the most
terocious Of all carnivorous animals. With
bated breath we gazed upon the thrilling
scene--thrilling In double sense, for we
knew how narrow had been the tanners

those beasts, two years ago. Yet there he
sat, the very man, calm and peaceful, with

On Saturday evening the liteyAry
societies had their anniversary eyer
cises. But while these exercises arr
enjoyed by all, they can only be APP
preciated by college students.
President kephart preached the
annual Baccalaureate sermon on Sun
day, pointing out the right way and
the true, and inspiring all with purer
thoughts, nobler purposes and with
holier aspirations.
The Alumni Association occupied
Monday evening. and Tuesday even
ing Prof Wynn, of the State Agri-
cultural College, lectured before all
the societies, His subject was
Thoughts" and his lecture deserved
and received great praise.
The commencement exercises prop
er came off on Wednesday, aud, not
withstanding the bad condition of the
roads, there was large attendance.
The graduating class consisted of
twelve members-seven gentleman
and five ladies--three In the classical,
four i'm the scientific and five in the
ladies' course. All took part in the
exercises of the day and acquitted
themselves with honor. Their efforts
were equal, ifnot superior. to those Of
previous classes. The Faculty Of
Western College has no cause of
shame on account of the last exercises
of the "twelver before starting out
into the world to meet the sterner re-
alities of life. II is due, also, to the
class, to say that they have left a
lasting memorial behind them in the
shape of fine cabinet, which they
presented to Western College. The
music Of the day was furnished by
the Silver Cornet Band Of Shellsburg.
= The friends of the College are well
pleased with the work of last year, as
well as with her prospects for the flu
ture.
The Faculty is efficient, earnest and
devoted to the work. The strongest
possible moral influences are thrown
around the students; and it Is a noted
fact that they invariably go away
with higher conceptions of moral du-
ties than they bring with them.
The philosophical and chemical ap-
ry enlarged and everything is being
done which can possibly tend to
make the school both pleasant and
profitable to students.
The next term opens on the 5th Of
September aud continues Is weeks.
