Your lips are always red,
And, like little OF eniDg rose,
Sweet perfume seem to shed.

a terrific storm, rivaling in it's

has devastated q wide tract of
country in Connecticut and Massa-

on Friday, the 9Th inst, assuming
its greatest density at Waflingford,

WALLINGFoRD, Aug. "a teR=

and blew over houses and uprOOted

at least twenty, while the
wounded will reach twice that
number. Telegraph wires and poles
were blown down, making 1t i'm
possible to communicate directly
with New Haven on the south or
Meriden or Hartford to the north.

great violence. The Doctor sus-
tanned a fracture of one or more of
his ribs, was badly bruised, and at

New York, New Haven q Hartford

men were leaving the factories a
gentle rain began 81 i,Il, and soon
increased to perfect leiugp. While

:; tornado, With hail and rain, swept
lcrs,ss inc northera part OF the town,
fro ~ west Ia tsist, and everything

away. 1t seemed 70 last but mo-

Afterwards, IL light rain feil, and
this soon ceased and at O'clock the
moon shone brightly down on a
scene ofdesolation. BY actual count,
forty dwelling houses were demOl-
ished and at least fifty barns.
The scene was memorable one.
The wooden houses were carried
clear off the foundations, from few
feet to one-eighth of mile. In the
line of the tornado nothing was left
standing, and each side Of its track
lesser damage was done, chimneys
especially suffering. The Catho-
lie Church, wooden, and the new
brick high school were totally de-
molished. The top of the brick fac
tory of the Wallingford community
was carried away. Fires were COM
municated to the ruins in many
cases by lamps and stoves, and but
for the rain, the horror of the affair
would Nhave been increased. A
youth named Matthew Money was
standing on the railroad track when
struck by the tornado. He was
picked up fifty feet away, almost
beheaded. Mrs. Hubby had her
child in her arms when
picked up. Both were dead and
almost scalped. Fred Littlewood
was picked up dead on the side of
the road where he was killed by
flying timber.
MERIDEN, CONN, Ang. 12.-The
funeral of twenty-five of those
killed by the tornado in Walling-
ford took place yesterday. Ten
thousand people were present, and
fully 1000 carriages. The services
were conducted by Rev. Father
Leo, of Winsted, assisted by three
other Catholic clergymen. The jam
was immense, and the scene was
one of great sadness. The cemetry
was surrounded by a local company
of National Gnards and 120 special
officers. The interments were made
in fifteen graves.
All of the dead, except Frederick
LittlewOod, were of the Catholic re-
ligiOn, and the diocese will take
prompt measures to aid the suffering
surviving relatives. People of all
denominations are contributing
generously. Seventeen persons,
badly wounded, remain in the Town
Hall, of whom Richard Taylor, with
back broken; John Littlewood,
conclusion of brain, and John
Mooney, injured internally are not
expected to live through the night.
A committee of citizens of Wal
lingford was appointed this evening
to receive and disburse all contri-
buttons for aid of the sufferers by
the recent tornado. Sanford has
sent 5000, and one church in New
Britain yesterday contributed 800.

Glass BAH Shooting Match.

The grand shooting match be-
tween the GAINESVILLE and Bowling
Green Clubs took place here Thurs
day, resulting in victory for the
GAINESVILLE Club. 1t was victory
of which they may justly feel proud,
as the score made by both teams
was the best ever madein the United
States. The match was shot under
Bogardus' rules-21 yards rise from
a right revolving trap, 8 men to a
side and "a balls to the man. The
Rowling Green Club was composed
of a fine lot Of gentlemen, with
whom our boys found pleasure in
shooting. Following is the score:
Bowling Green Club; Captain,
Burt Bray-Hobson, 10; Hurt, p
Potter, %; Burge, %; Smith, %;
Thomas, 81; Vogle, %; Phillips, IS;
Bray, p. Total, 19l.
GAINESVILLE Club; Captain, J. G.
Brooks-S. Rives, %; J. C. Brooks,
%; VIM. Stewart, %; Julian Lee
care, D; H, P. Riyes, %; George
Mcdaniel, 20; r. d. Moseley, p
Abe Martin, % DIR. Drane, %. To
tai, 1877.
The GAINESVILLE team would have
made a better score even than this
but for the unexpected bad luck of
Prof. Brooks, who did not expect to
miss a single ball. He has made a
score of SO out of 20, but was slightly
off Thursday, and failed to sustain
his reputation. Judge Legarc, an
other crack shot Of the town team
was also unfortunately sick. Bowl
ing Green challenges GAINESVILLE for
another match at the former place,
which GAINESVILLE declines to accept
on account of the lateness of the
season, pressure Of business engage
ments, etc.

We have iIiSeFted the above COM
mmicatiOn of CiYiS pot without
much consideration while We de-
sire to sustain the Democratic or
ganiZation in this county, while we
perceive as plainly as anyone that
the Demoaratic party cannot be
efficient without organization and
discipline, we have unmillingly
been brought to the conclusion that
there IS much in what Civis says
which is we'll grounded. and that
serious dissatisfaction, we may say
disafection, exists in the party in
consequence of it. The matter COM
planned of is a want of frankneSs in
the dealings of the party managers
in this place, apd we warn our
friends that they will ALLEVIATE good
men from the party unless they
abandon their reserve and meet the
extra official members of the party
as if they too had an interest in its
proceedings. OF one thing we as
sure them: Civis is not n sore-head,
he has never been a seeker of Office,
he is not disorgapiZer, not low
tax man, but as earnest a Democrat
and IS intelligent a man as any Of
the party managers of whom and to
whom we are speaking, He is not
the sort of man whom the party can
afford to ALLEVIATE, and the party Is
alternating many such. If we were
les interested in the success Cf the
party thas we are, if we had less
personal regard for the men with
whom we are expostulating, we
might speak less plainly; but, as it
is, we should be o disloysI Demo-
crat and n false friend if we with
held what we have said.
