ToRSADoEs.-A fierce tornado or cy-
clone on Thursday evening last, totally
demolished a settlement in the suburbs
of Chicago and devastated the country
for a radius of two miles. \ farm house
was blown down; Miss Bruner was in
stantly killed, and two young children
were carried through the air and hurled
dead to the ground twenty rods away.
A laborer was lifted from the ground
and his legs broken by falling. The
destruction of property is very serious.

between Mount Vernon and Oregon.

Is DANCING ALLowED?-The Lexing-
ton Presbytery called upon the minis-
tiers to state whether or not they had
complied with the order of Presbytery
to read 10 their congregations the de-
liverance of the General Assembly on
the subject of dancing, and it was found
that several had not done so. a mo-
ton by Rev Mr.. Brown again enjoin-
ing the ministers to read the deliver
ance of the Assembly and report at
next meeting of Presbytery if they had
done so, and if not, why not, caused a
lively and spirited discussion. Rev. ID.
G. Irwin maintained that a minister vas
alone responsible to God for the spiri-
tual training of his congregation, and
that Presbytery had no right to compel
him to read paper to his congregation
of which his conscience did not approve.
Rev J. Il. Bowman insisted that a
minister's ordination VOWS required his
obedience to the orders of Presbytery.
DR.. Mutually opposed the motion on
the ground that Presbytery should not
l>gsate for individual churches, that
belonging of right to the sessions.
Dr. Junkin moved TO lay the motion
on the table, and was seconded by Col.
J. II. l.. Preston, as the subject OF
dancing would probably come up before
the Assembly at Knoxville, and another
deliverance be made. The motion was
tabled.
THE RIGHT KIND OF AN INvEsTIGA.
TIoN.-Senator Davis, of West Virginia,
must be striking "pay dirt. More than
wear ago he asserted in a speech in
the presence of Mr.. Boutwell,, Ex-Sec-
rotary Of the Treasury, that for years a
forced balance had been made to the
books in the Treasury Department, and
that discrepancy of at least S20O,OOO,
600 existed Mr.. Boutwell, made no re-
ply. Mr.. Davis was atterward placed
in charge of Select Committee to
overhaul the books and accounts of the
Treasury. On yesterday he arose in
the Senate and asked leave TO have his
committee sit during the recess. In
the course of his remarks he said that
the fact would be fully established that
deficit OF S2OO,O0O,O0O or more did
exist in the Treasury according to their
own books. This is the kind of an in.
vesligation that investigates. The
country wants more of it. There is nc
Glover nonsense about Mr.. Davis
