About seven on the evening of February s,
Augusts, Ga, was visited with a shower Of
hail, followed by a rain storm, accompanied
by thunder and lightning, and the rumbling
and tremor of an earthquake. This was fol-
lowed a little after one o'c ock by a cyclone,
which struck the city on the southwest, near
Center street, and demolished many houses.
The Lower Mark ct House was literally lifted
and smashed into atoms. Several brick and
wooden buildings were wholly or partially
destroyed. The cyclone travelled from the
southwest to the northeast, and covered a
space of about three hundred yards wide.
Some casualties are reported.

PIERCE CITY Oct. 10Th 1878.
EDITOR TELLER 1t is not often that
we request public notice Of our pro.
ceedugs. In general way they are of
such a character, that we can peacefully
digest them without the aid of foreign
or distant seasoning. But it is our
painful duty upon this occasion to re-.
late, and send abroad, the partcu ars of
perhaps the most sorrowful and deplor
able Incident which has happened with
in the pioneer county Of Idaho.
Gu the 23d of October a difficulty
arose through the mist of which we
have lost one of our nosi valued eitizens
in the person Of Philip S,reeter, well
aud f,varhly known throughout the
territory Of Idaho as well as of northern
California. The catastrophy was con,
sumated in what is construed rs Ii,
eensed saloon. The difficulty which
brought the career of our @ teemed cit
izen to an untimely close, was drunk
en- debauch, and poker game. between
the proprietor of the National Saloon,
Charles #. Brown, and another indiyid
ual. This unfortunate affair lasted
through the night of the 22d and morn
ing OF the 23d, and during respite Of
the ranging at the latest hour, the de-
ceased entered the saloon Gin company
with the indivi lual who had been ON
the outside for some time) unconscious
of any former proceedings. But soon the
old row commenced, the deceased en-
deavored to step it, to the extent of
placing himself between the disputants;
and in SO doing received the murderous
FIRE.

months old, like all h-man nature was

The future of Lewiston.

10 an observer standing upon one of
the elevated plsius overlooking this
city, it becomes query, how much
longer Lewiston can be Held down by
little interventions, debarring IN various
ways the incessent current of interests
which naturally center here, coming
from the natural fountains for many
miles around US. It would be better for
Lewiston if these barriers that impede
and in many instances turn the course
OF the produce of the country into other
and less profitable outlets if they could
be broken at once, but time the sure
healer Of such wounds will rectlly these
errors. There is not businass man in
Lewiston or land holder in the ne. h.
5orhohd whose wealth would not be en-
ha ced very materially If Lewiston was
ii free market. Her wealth would per
meale the arteries Of The surrounding
country.

however, Tor in less than an hour the

JoHNsoN's ATTEMPT TO Escape.
The day before Hudson arrived at
los Angeles johnson made desperate
effort to escape from the jail building in
which he was confined, aud almost sue
ceeded. The story of the attempt is told
in IA long article in the LES Angeles E.r.
press, from which We extract the toll
lowing: AN examination Of the jail
this morning disclosed most astonish-
ing result. The division walls of four
cells had been penetrated, admitting the
occupans to the common apartment,
where they had in tarn begun to dig
through the outer wall. 1t is thought
that the first movement was to wrench
Dat an iron bar fastened over the door
of one oil the cells, and that with this,
supported by knife and possibly other
tools they did their work. The cells
were lined with from sheathing an eighth
Of an inch in thickness, fastened with
.hali-inch bolts driven into the tlmbers
to the depth Of six inches These bolts
were pulled out and the sheathing torn
and twisted off to form an aperture large
enough for the passage of mans body
In one instance the prisoners dug through
brick wall and tore of several plapks
which supported the iron With the
four cells thus opened, the desperadoes
began on the outer, wall as stated, bat
they haa not removed much brick and
mortar before they abandoned operations.
l. is probable that the man johnson, the
Portland robber and murderer, was the
instigator of the plot, and that he did
most Of the work, first tearing his way
nut Of his own cell and then through the
adjoining one to gain admittauce to the
ualn room. Tabia, who is under con-
viation Of grand larceny, aud Wade, con
fined on a charge of horse stealing, were
no doubt implicated with him. johnson
probably knew that Officer Hudson, d
Portland, was on his way here to take
him in charge, and he probably 'hop4hl
/ rs would make bold break FIR liberty
bafure it was too late. In visit 70 the
jail this morning, We found Johusor

others he was ever ready aud most
willing to extend the helping hand.
The circumstances of his death may be
regarded as signal proof of the magni-
nimity of his heart. TO protect his
friend he. interposed his own person and
thereby received the fatal stroke which
rent asunder the terrestrial moorings,
and cast his spirit away upon that un-
known and MYSTERIOUS sea, without
DO unds, and whose depths arr uufath

mortal existance was to him period of

he was interviewed yesterday morning
by q reporter Of this paper.
HIS STATEMENT.
johnson lookssto be about 25 wears
of age and has daredevil hoodun
air, but smiles while talking, and speaks
fluently and in a pleasant voice. He
said that he had recently received
good deal Of attention from newspapers
and was sorry that he could not give
them much news. When questioned
about his trip from Portland to Los
Angeles he said that he "siuply trav
eled south" and would give no details
whatever of the trip, except that he
went through the mountains, and did
not stop at any town or house on the
route. When asked how be managed
to live he answered: ooh. a man can
almost always find something, fruit or
vegetables ur something" lie said
that he was III Los Ang los two DAYS
before he was arrested, In answer to
inquiries from the reporter he said he
was a years of age and that he ives a
native Of Maine, his father is dead and
!, his mother living. but where he de
clined to state. His attention was called
to the statements Of Swords and Brow
his colleagues in villiany which charged
the lsading part in their mutual crime
to him, and asked to give his statement
of the transaction. He laughed and
said that it was natural enough tina,
they should throw the blame on him,
as the chances were thar he would no,
be arrested. aud otherwise he certainly
shonld have come back to deny their
story; aud that they had fixed the
business up so fine that it was entirely
out Of his power to do the subject jus.

CENTERVILLE.

Mr.. EDITOR: If a short article on
the close of school, is in order, I hope
you may give it room in your paper,
for the benifit of a school, and persons
whom it may concern. We had oc-
cassion to attend on the 9TH, an nex'
amination and district treat in the day,
and an exhibition at night at the
Harmony Valley School House No
situated one mile north of Centerville.
The school under the supervision of j.
w. Wilkinson for two successive
winter term, was closed with the
general belief that he has done we'll
his part. Examination and treat were,
were all that could be expected and
more too. In the recitati0ns the
scholars acquitted themselves very
creditably;we enj 'yed the treat of pies
cakes and candi, 8; plentiful supply,
enough for all tnat were there, and
some that weren't there. After We
had eaten and played and talked, along
came eve1tide down the Valley:and
stopped in the house and we stopped
in too and picked out our seat, that we
might see the exhibition, as it is call
ed. The exhibition commenced, so
did the music by Mr.. 6. G. Milligan's
string band. 1t afforded some excellent
music for the evening. To be brief
we can say the performances were coed
and would have been a perfect success
had it not been attended by set of
implacable boys. (rhey have the stat
ure OF men, but lack the principle), who
occupied the rear of the room and
made interruptions through the entire
programme. Now we claim the order
of school should be held as inviolate
as church, for education is the STEP
ping stone to christianity. The names
of the parties who persisted in disor.
der deserve to be made names of n0to.
riety, but we withhold them this time,
hoping that the young men-especial.

of the principal offenders, will here.

rity due to the profession. The last,
though not the least Interruptions,
were made while the piece entitled
"The Maniac" was being spoken by
