Sutherland Springs Chronicle, June "A:
Last Saturday one of the heaviest rains fell
ever known in this section. At Floresville 1t
was accompanied with a hail and wind al

pouring down through the roofs and ceilings
In perfect slrices. The ground after the blow,
for several miles east of Floresville, was
strewn with fallen timber. At Mr.. Allen
Franklins, it is said, large limb came down
through the roof, barely missing Mr.. Frank
Inns head. His house was blown several
inches from its foundation, and is in a wrecked

may yet hear of lives being lost from the

The mortuary fancies of many nations are
strange and iIieomprehensible. The ancient
Balcafians chopped up their dead and potted
them. The Galatians ate them. The BAG

among the Thibetans, who maintain q sacred
race of puppies for the purpose. The Pontines
dried the heads OF their relations. The Coans
pulyerized their ashes In mortar and scat
tered them In the sea. The Stndians buried
with each of their dead warriors as many fishes
as he had slain enemies. The Parsees expose
their dead to be devOured by birds or beasts
Of prey, from superstitious fear OF polluting
by their contact the three sacred elements,
water, earth and fire. The savages of New
Holland hang them In baskets upon trees /:
the Orinocos suspend them In running

their flesh, the skeleton being then Inferred.

Most nations, however savage, pay some
kind of honor to the dead. The Caffirs of
South Africa are the only persons who are
known to abandon the corpses of their
friends to the tender mercies of the wild
beasts of the forests. The natives of
Otaheite were accustomed In Capt. Cooks

chiefs at public religious assembly and bury
The portions in three different places. This
custom, barbarous as 1t is, prevailed for
