LAST week q furious storm passed
over certain portions of Michigan,
destroying barns, houses, fences,
wheat stacks and orchards, besides
killing some horses and cattle and
two children.
SEVEN members of the family and
guests of Hon. John Ruggee were
poisoned last week at Milwaukee
by eating wild parsnips for dinner.
All were reported at the time in a
critical condition.
IT is stated in New York that
the demand for silver dollars is now
just about equal to the supply from
the mints. The call comes from all
parts of the country, and particular
ly from the south.
Mr.. STONE, Fish Commissioners of
the United States, brought last week
four million salmon eggs. to be

streams tributary to the Platte,
Blue, Elkhorn and other rivers.
AMONG the recent callers on Gen.

of feather will flock together.

WE learn through the Lincoln
Globe that State Treasurer Bartlett
last week paid $4,920, as interest on

We do not know how truthful il
may be, but one Of our truthful ex-

boys, and the long purgatory that
we have gone through will only
