everything green in its path, killing ycarling
pigs, hens, chickens, turkeys, and smashed all
windows in the houses on the storm side over
which it passed: 'Hail-stones as large as a
mans fist fell with such velocity asto knock
the bark from apple trees. The destruction to
grain, and vegetables and fruit is immense It
can hardly be estimated, but will probably
reach $4,000. The fall OF rain in this city was
very heavy; cellars filled and :cistcrns over
flowed, but no particular damage was done.
THE PRINCE 1MPERIAL's SUCCESSOR. =
The Paris Galos of July l, publishes
the codicil to the will Of the late prince impe-
rial. 1t says the duty which our house owes
to our country will not lapse by my death.
The arduous and glorious task of continuing
the work Of the first Napoleon will depend in
the event Of my death, upon the eldest son of
Prince Jerome Napoleon, who, by the laws of
succession Of our house, is my heir. I trust
that my beloved mother, by scconding him in
the discharge OF the responsibilities and duties
which, in the event Of my death, will deyo've
upon him, will give to me, when I am no
longer upon this earth, this last and supreme
proof Of her affection for me and her love for
rance.

Department headquarters at st. Paul,
arc in receipt Of the sad intelligence Of Lieut..
Sam,lal II. Lodcr's 9th U. 8. Infantry .,n-
timely death at Fort Benton, on the 3rd inst
The telegram imparting the info rmation is
mcagre Of detail, but conveys the intimation
that he had met his death by his own hands,
Lieut. Lodcr was in camp with four compa-
nics Of the Seventh infantry at Fort Benton,
ell route to a summer camp at Mnsscl Shell
creek. No cause can be assigned for the rash
act. which has deprived the army of the SER
vices Of worthy young officer. Lieut. Lodcr
graduated at the United States Military Acad-
cmy rs late as 1871, and at the time of his
death had already attained an cnvab'r rcpu-
tation As an energetic and painstakiny officer

At San Francisco, July 4, about half
past three o'clock in the afternoon, S. W.
Colgroye, accompanied by Mis- Emma Allison,

dragged over the bay about two miles in the
same number Of minutes, struck pile
old wharf timbers on the opposite side of tho
bay threw out both Of tho occupants, who
were somewhat cut and bruised, but not seri-
ousiy injured, and freed from lis, burden rose
again and sailed of eastward, coming down
as previously reported Colgrovc and Miss
Allison struck in Il marsh, which they waded,
and getting TO firm ground made their way to
Alameda and thence to the city.
BURGLARY.
One Of the most daring and success
ful hnrglaries was pcrpctrated at Maiden
Rock, Wis, on Friday night June q,
that was ever known to that quiet
little hurs. Some time during the night
burglars entered the dry goods store
of Trumhull 4 11ara by pryng Off the castings
Of the back door. Once inside the polished
Williams proceeded TO open tho safe by profc~-
sional means, namely, by experimenting upon
the combination, as shown by tally sheet
found upon the premises the following morn
ing, and by which they succeeded in opening
it, and took thcrcfrom over $4,000 in current
funds; after which they quietly took few
cigars from an open box on the shelf, and as
quietly took their departure, not leaving even
a trace behind by which they might be tracked,
In view Of the fact that the job was accom-.
plishcd in such u mysterious manner, it is
evident that it was done by experts or some
one familiar about the premises
