ANOTHER KIND. of extraor-
binary size have put in an appearance in this
city. Unlike the hoppers which were here in
the early part of the Summer, they do not
move through the air in swarms, but hop
about on the ground, seldom flying, and it is
not often that morethan two or three are seen
in company. When flying they make loud,
discordant noise, sounding very much like
that made by watchman's rattle.-Reveille

Mount Carmel TORNADO.

A Mount Carmel special says two
converging lines of destruction prove
that the tornado Of Monday partook
largely Of the character Of cyclone.
The first wreck was a frame farm
house, which was blown out at the sides,
letting the roof down on the founda-
ton. Thence the wind swept over a
small strip of timber, and was met by
a counter current of wind from the
west, which did no serious damage, ex-
cept to fences, in its course.
These currents met on Fourth street,
below Main, with force which is de-
scribed to have resembled the crash of
timber or tapping Of sails, and in the
space of a few seconds the air was
filed to overfowing with the debris of
a hundred dwellings, public buildings,
and business houses. Some of the
wreck was carried distance of mile.
The principal force of the cyclone
was spent on the line of Fourth street,
running northeast to the woods west of
the river. where the wind was again
raised from the earth. Half a square
on Main street above Fourth the furi-
Gus eddying Of the storm carried the
Methodist Church steeple in contrary
direction, landing it 300 feet away in
front Of saloon. The bellwas dropped
in the middle Of the street close BY.
The fury Of the storm was spent in
the business portion Of the town. In
some cases buildings were only un-
rooted, but the demolition of other
houses was complete. The Presbyte-
rian Church is razed to the ground.
The loss by the storm and FIRE is es-
timated at 10000, but the interest
in that is absorbed in the concern for
the dead and missing.
The best part Of the town is destroy
ed. Some seventy families are house
less, and much distress is anticipated.
The search for bodies continues.
A little boy who was coming from
school below Main street, was lifted
above the houses and landed unhurt at
his house, half a mile South. He said
he passed over the church steeple as it
went the osher way.

BUTLER vs.. McvEAcH.

The war of words between Ben. But
Ter and Wayne McVeagh is still con-
tinued-at least they have each writ
ten another beautiful letter at the other
and published it in the papers. But
Ter, in substance, admits that he was
guilty Of wholesale falsehood in his
first charges against MeVeagh, but
crawfshes out Of it by saying that he
didn't make them, that he heard them,
and didn't mean any harm. To Nc
Veagh's insinuation about his charac-
ter and reputation he asks if Mr.. Nc
Veagh thought him such a terribly bad
fellow as he makes him out to be, why
did he invite him to come to Pennsyl-
vania last fall to stump that Statewith
him, to help carry it for the retorm,ersF :
In this we are inclined to think Butler
rather got the best Of the Pennsylva-
nian. A great many Of these politi-
clans Of the McVeagh class are ever
ready, between elections, to denounce
Butler as a thief, liar and general cor
ruptionist, but when election time comes,
they are perfectly willing then to have
his aid. He is not too bad then, but
they are ready enough to go about
from place to place with him and listen
with pleasure to his TRADES against the
Democrats. IfMr. McVeagh believed
Ben Butler to be the evil character he
has painted him in his letters, and yet
asked his aid in eleetioneering in Penn
sylvania in behalf of the "reform" pro-
fessed in the last campaign by such re
publican leaders as he, then he must
entertain exceedingly loose ideas of
morality when he is willing to associate
with, and be taught by such charac-
ter. If he did not believe it, and only
reiterated the old story in order to "cut"
Butler, he did not do very smart
thing, aad has only succeeded in prov
ing himself as much of a scandal mon
ger as the man he writes against. The
whole thing is more like child's play
than. anything else. Butler accuses
McVeagh Of bribery, office-seeking,
stinginess and fortune hunting Nc
Veagh retaliates by accusing Butler
Of lying, stealing, and general roguery,
but neither brings a single item of
proof to substantiate his charge. Ifl
either ka,Oaos whereof he speaks, and
can prove what he says, it would be an
act Of kindness to the people at large
to do it, that the true character of
either, or both Of these prominent men,
nd aspirants for political honors, may
be known. When rogues fall out many
secret things are brought to light. For
cur own part, as matters now stand,
we have but little better opinion Of one
than we have of the other. Buffers |
reputation is bad enough in all con
science, but he is not the only black
sheep in the fold. He is used as
scape-goat for all the devilment Of the
whole party, and to denounce Ben But
Ter in anti-eIection times is a favorite
amusement with radical reformers, but
they are ever quick enough to call up
on him to blackguard and abuse the
Democrats when they have ''irons in
the fire" Or axes to grind, and are
anxious to secure the success of their
party at the polls. The associates of
are but little better than the
themselves.

DRLAWARE FRUIT DRYER
AT DOVER,
On WEDNESDAY, MAY %, 1877.

On WEDNESDAY, MAY %, 1877.
This dryer was invented for The purpose of
saving a part of my own crop of peaches in
1875. Thousands of baskets of fruit had
rotted in my orchard The Smocks and Late
White peaches were ready to dry when . be-
gan, yet the peaches dried after that with II
common siove without CRATE bars, sold for
two hundred dollars. improved the dryer
greatly in 1876 and this year, and claim that
il will dry fruits and vegetables so that they
will be nearly as lightand rich in color when
they are dry as when put fresh in the evapor-
ator. That which darkens more frnit than
all else, is the vapor that is thrown off in
drying, and remains in the dryer until it
passes through all the fruit in the way to the
outlet.
Ny invention by the use Of tubes takes the
greater part of that moisture out Of the main
chamber without its passing through the
fruit, and also supplies DRY HEAT to every five
trays continually thus retaining The natural
color of the fruit hy quick drying. When
the fruit is nearly dry il is slid into Il tnllder
heat 10 the finishing chamber.
The following certificates show what is
thought by those who have seen the fruit for
