An attempt was made a few nights
ago TO enter the cigar store of Gus
Garnes by boring through the wood p m
mel, but meeting a sheet iron lining they
gave up the job. This store seems to be
a general target for attempts, this max
ing about the eighth within three years.

attempts within the pas two days, and

ters from your city, have been hanging
around the depot and the battery.
The roofers are busily engaged in put

Complaint was entered at the Mayors
office last evening, concerning the condi-
ton of a street between Young and
Gray. From the complaint 1t would
seem that a cesspool has overfiown
and is running into the street, causing
fearful stencil. The Mayor gave the party
such instructions as were required. In
order that others may know the wy 10
proceed in like cases, it is necessary tor
them to have the nuis1nces viewed by
not less than three members of the CT y
Council and by them declared a nui-
sance. After that it is the duty of the
Mayor to see that it is abated. Com,
planning to the Mayor is of no use as he
has no authority in such cases. The
Committee on Health, Nuisances &c is
composed of Messrs. Borie, Barr and
Sutton, to whom all complaints should
be made.

William Langley, cotton planter Of

on his farm. Around him were several
men, a woman and three children, all
breaking the soil for. cotton, The sly
was clear and the air quiet, there being
about both hint of sultriness.
The children had just opped work
and thrown themselves, tired as tired
could be, on the top of pile of gu
ano sacks, when a peculiar roaring was
heard in the fiIelr. The sound bore
some resemblance to that of an ap-
preaching train, but as no railroads
were near the workers looked on in
amazement. In a moment they saw =
small column not larger in circumference
than Darrell skim rapidly along the
ground. The wind column or spout APP
peared to be filled with dust, and In the
centre contained what looked like q ball
of fire. III.
The mother rushed toward the q IL
dren, who crouched low in fright, but
Def re she could reach them the pile
Of guano bags, children and all, were
scattered right and left. In its couike
always eccentric, the column struck a
stump fairly from butt TO roots and tore
it from the ground, the wood splitting
into three pieces, and dropping twenty
or thirty yards away. Mr.. langley was
sucked in as the whirling thing bolted
by and thrown into plowed gully some
distanc away.
In the next instant the q ,ge visitor
had gone, passing up over the tops Of the
trees. 1t was seen plainly by the ladies

RUNNING TIL OUCH HOUSES AND cHARG-

Yesterday afternoon, COW that was
being driven to the slaughter hoase Of
Joseph H. Gould by lad named Edward
Lee, created quite \ sensation in the
vicinity of Third and Market streets, by
her wild and peculiar actions. While
being driven along Third street, she sud
denly turned from her course aad rushed
u the alley on the west side of the build
:ng of b. q. P-arce. Coming suddenly
to door which opened from the alley
into the bar room, she entered at brisk
trot, and then turned toward the front
door which she made for at a run. Fortu-
nately for the door 1t was open and the
COW gained the street without breaking
any thing.
After reaching the street, she again
resumed her wild movements and made
frantic dash for the glass window OF q.
Il. Dnbell's hat store, but was prevented
from doing damage.
