"A party Of - TO 100 men rode into the

A terrible tornado and tidal-wave swept
over portion of the West Indies the first of
the present month, doing immense damage.
Adyices from Hayti state that warehouses
were swept to sea with their contents, build
ings demolished, wharves swept away and
vessels wrecked. The tornado tore houses to
pieces, and the sea rushed in, sweeping away
men, women and children. The distress in
the country is fearful as the crops and roads
are entirely destroyed The number of lives
lost cannot be estimated.
Sherman City, small village in Isabella
county, Mich, was annihilated last Thursday
| by terrible tornado. Every store, dwelling
and shed was swept clean, except one frame
dwelling which was partially destroyed. The
air was thick with timbers, boards brick, and
stones. The inhabitants took refuge in the
cellars Mr.. Tryo, his wife, little girl and ba-

was done at Colemans, Mich. @. Dean had

Vice President Wheeler, in giving an ad-
dress at the st. Lawrence county fair at Can
ton, n. Y, last week Thursday, paid the peo-
pie of that section handsome compliment by
saying that he sincerely believed that there is
no place in the whole country so free from
the wild notions which are now racking the
foundations of society and business as St.
Lawrence county. Russian nihilism, German
socialism and communism, he said, which have
no geographical limits, will give such a COM
miunty wide berth. But while giving the
pre-eminence to the farmers of Northern
New York, Mr.. Wheeler counts the farmers
of the United States the hope and stability of
the country and the government. Dropping
into financial discussion, Mr.. Wheeler said
that he had no faith in the various nostrums
which are suggested aspanaceas for our inan-
clal and industrial ills, and he could see no
possible way to regain prosperity except by
the old paths of earning and saving. He re-
minded young men that they cannot ignore
the lower rounds of the ladder of industry,
economy and enterprise up which their IA
theirs toiled with patient and laborious steps,
and that only in manly occupation and manly
independence can the foundations of honora-
bic and Independent prosperity be laid

Eugene Hale has returned to Washington
and resumed his work as chairman of the re-
publican congressional committee. He sees
no reason why the republican party should
lower its financial standard, but on the con-
trary, every reason for maintaining it through
thick and thin. The Ohio and Indiana re-
publcans are even stronger in opposing any
surrender to the greenbackers than they We're
before the Maine election, and the speakers
most in demand now in both those States are
those who fought the battle in Maine ON the
honest money issue. 1t is evident that influ-
ences are at work tending to general recast-
ing of political parties, and in that change
the republican party could not if it would
and would not if it could, take any other po-
sition or ground than the one it has already
taken for a sound currency and honest mon
ey. Every pointing of governmental princi-
pie and party policy is toward the unfalter-
ing maintenance of the honest money stan
dard, and in that course there is ultimate sue
cess unless republicanism is a failure. The
temporary madness of the hour will be re-
placed sooner or later with common sense,
and the republican party will be unworthy its
name and place if it does not hold fast to
eternal principles and calmly bide the time
when the worth of those principles shall be
conceded and acknowledged.

We are glad to ask the attention of our
readers to a circular which we publish to-day
relative to the establishment of n State board
of health by our legislature this fall. AL
though the project originates with members
of the medical profession, the question of the
establishment of such an organization has
nothing to do with the honor or emolument of
that profession it is a matter relating exclu-
sively to the self-protection and self-preser-
walton of the people at large. If Vermont
institutes such board of health, she will, in
doing SO, only bring herself up to an equal
footing with large proportion of the States
of the Union-States like Massachusetts, New
York, Rhode Island, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and many others. When brought before
them we hope our legislators will be prepared
to give this subject serious and favorable at
tenton.

The HoN. Thomas TALBOT, the Republican
nominee for Governor of Massachusetts, was
born at Cambridge, Washington county,
N. Y, in 1918. His parents afterward moved
to Dandy in this State, where his father died
in 1923, and left the widow to support eight
children. The next move of the family was
to the Mill river valley in Massachusetts,,
where Thomas worked in the mills, picked
up a fair education in the village schools and
the old Cummington academy. When young
man he moved to North Billerica with a broth
er and began building up in a modest way
the extensive manufacturing business which
he has since developed there and which has
made the village quite a model among such
communities. His political career comprises
many years of legislative experience, during
five of which he was a member of the Cover
nor's Council. In 1872 he was chosen Lieu
tenant Governor, and on the election of Gov.
Washburn in place of the late Senator Sum-
ner, he became Governor of Massachusetts.
In 1874 he was nominated for Governor but
was defeated by Mr.. CASTOR by 1852 votes.

The New York Times allowed its dislike of
President Hayes to carry it TO the childish
and belittling extent of applying such cpl
thets as characteristic muddle-headedness "
"jujune reflections and ''tiresome twaddle"
to the Presidents speech at st. Paul, but,
rs if reluctantly compelled by public opinion
and the manifest strength and timeliness of
Mr.. Hayes utterances while on his Western
tour, that journal was good enough to say of
his Toledo address, which we give in full to-
day, that it was IAN exceedingly sensible and
forcible speech" Our readers will find the
speech all that, and more.

1t is believed that the crisis in the yellow
fever epidemic in the Mississippi valley has
been reached. For the past few days the re-
ports have shown a decrease in the number
Of deaths and fewer new cases. Official re-
ports make the whole number of deaths Mt
New Orleans up to last Saturday night, 247O.
At Memphis, Tenn, the total is about $3.50,
at Vicksburg, Miss, about 600, and at Gren-
ada, Miss, 2SO. These figures with those
from other points, would make the whole num-
Der nearly 600.

MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY TROUBLES.
A meeting of the executive committee of the
above Society was held in Baltimore On Saturday
last to take action on circular recently issued by
Mr.. Joseph IL. Rieman and others, taking exeep-
ton to the legality of election held for the Off
GERS of the society during its fall exhibition at
PimlicO. Gov. Bowie offered resolution, which
was adopted setting forth that the legality of the
election had been ably illustrated in legal opin-
ion given by Hon. 5. Teackle Wallis, and yet the
authors of the circular, while announcing their in
tenton of abiding by said election, have seen fit to
call the attention of the society to the mode and
spirit in which said election was conducted.
The resolution further states that one Of the
gentlemen recently elected on the executive COM
mittee largely represents the mechanical industry
of Baltimore, and has been one of the largest eX-
hbtors and most liberal contributors to the socie
ty, which will hardly inspire in the minds of any
but the hopeessly preiudiced the belief that the
interests Of the society are to be sacrificed
The resolution further embodies the fact that
there is not aud should not be any antagOnism be-
tween the society and the Maryland Jockey Club
in the mutual enjoyment of the grounds at PimicO.
To the efforts of gentlemen interested in both
enterprises the society was indebted in great
measure for the city appropriation of $4,000, as
well as for a large amount of what was subscribed
by private citizens. 1t was under the auspices OF
these same gentlemen that the Maryland Jockey
Club was organized in 1870, with a membership
composed largely of members of the society, and
owning, in their individual capacity, more than
one half of the whole of the private subscription
contributed for the improvement of the grounds
The charge that the Jockey Club had the con
trolling influence in the Agricultural Society is
Indignantly denied, and, in the language of the
resolution they have felt that the true interests OF
both associations were to be found in the develop
ment and establishment of the grounds Of PIN
ico and to their preservation for the joint and
purposes of both associations.
Governor Bowies resolution concludes by say
ing that sin the future relations between the Ag
ricultural Society and the Jockey CLUB the COM
mittee feels nO apprehension of anything transpir-
ing preiudicial TO the benefit and promotion of tbs
agricultural interests Of the State, in plain per
version of the interest and purpose of the cOntri-
butors of the large sum Of money that has been
expended upon Pimlico."

GRAND jury REPORT.-The Grand Jury for the
December term of the Circuit Court finally adj
iourned on Saturday last The jury had been in
session days, examined $50 witnesses, considered
100 cases, found 66 presentments, SO true bills, ig
nored bills and dismissed as cases. They found
the Jail in q good and clearly condition, but the
accommodations for the care, custody and comfort
of the prisoners (37 in number at presently were
inadequate. 1t was recommended that some plan
be devised for the employment of the prisoners,
and that some persons who are now confined in
Jail as Migrants be sent to the almshouse. The
report also states that the jury visited the aims
house and found it in proper and cleanly condi-
ton They also recommend to the citizens of the
county that the proper steps be taken to abolish
the present grand jury system, having found after
a long experience that they are inexpedient, hav
ing served their day and generation" and in lieu
thereof it is suggested 'that all cases requiring
action outside Of the court be intrusted to board
of three or more discreet citizens to be selected by
the court from time to time occasion may require

FROM CARRoLLTON, 1sT DIsTRICT.--MW De-
stroyed by Fre-Fdtdt Accident-Scorcity Of Po-
lice O5fce.s &c.-The Santee mills, on the Frede-
rick road, near Gwynn's Falls belonging TO Messrs.
Hazlehurst & Son, were destroyed by FIRE on Mon
day morning last The flames discovered at
g O'Clock by VIM. staff, sexton of st. Johns Lu-
theran church, and also private Waterman on Gar
rison lane. He toed the church bell, which
alarmed the neighborhoOd, and at the same time
the alarm was sounded in the city, which brought
out the fire department. The morning was bitter
cold, with high wind, and the entire neighborhood
was in danger of destruction, but the timely arri-
val of the city fire department prevented any fur
ther spread of the flames and the mill property
was all that was burned.
On Tuesday, 9th inst, Daniel Pickett 20 years
of age while hauling ice, in crossing bridge on
Maden's Choice lane, he by some means was caught
between the wagon and the side Of the bridge
lie was carried to a house near by where he ex-
pred inside Of an hour.
In this section of the district we have usually
had three officers for the preservation of the peace
but we have but one officer Fallen having re-
signed and officer Lindner being i'll and unfit for
duty, leaves us but one-oficer Christy-to per-
form the duties of ALL As result of this evil
disposed persons do pretty much as they please
and thieving and rowdyism is uncommon thing
The County Commissioners should see that we are
properly protected in our persons and property.
