A Singular Case.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2O-The Neacs says The
doctors are puzzled and interested by pecu-
liar case on the west side of the city. Will
lie Cra wford, aged IA years, son of William
Crawford, captain of a tug boat, has for seven
wears been sweating blood at times, and late
iy has had severe attacks which alarmed his
parents His infrimity comes on him usual
iy after taking cold. Great black patches ap-
pear on his body from which blood drops the
size of a pin head issue. He is mentally
bright, and his father, mother. brothers and
sisters are strong and healthy. The phys'-
clans who have taken into question his case,
propose sending him to Edinburg or London
for medical treatment.

An English View.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Times says. The
law abiding citizens have to submit TO the
terrorism which not only defies but supplants
law, and after looking long and anxiously for
help from the government they have begun
to resign all hopes and no longer venture to
resist the dictation of the land league. Cases
in which the police are able to commit seem
to become daily rarer, and even when trial
Is secured the witnesses fear to speak and the
jurors are afraid to convict. 1t is to deliver
the peasantry themselves, as well as the up
per and middle classes, that the vindication
of the law becomes imperative.

They have their Stock Exchange and Mill
ing Board in Magic cities of the far West, and
their own peculiar way of doing business.
Buyers and stockholders also have their own
peculiar ways, and these ways sometimes
clash. A New Yorker was seated in an office
in Gunnisson City one day not long ago,
when a grizzly-looking old chap entered and
asked if that was the place where they sold
shares of the White Horse Silver Mine. Be-
ing assured that he was III the office he Oh
served:
"Pve heard the White Horse spoken of as

 The praise service at English Hall last evening was great success. Although rain- ing, hundreds repaired to the hall, which was soon filled to overfowings and finally the doors had to be closed, there being no room for more, and scores were turned away The singing by the .sB Quartette'' was listened to with delight, and hushea stiffness prevailed in the hall when this famous home quartette was singing, tribute of itself to the merits of the vocal melody. The congregational singing was also unusually good

That Tornado.

Sa5,OOO Damage in Suffolk and Thomp-
 sonville-Blacl<, Angry Masses Of Cloud
 Fierce Work.
 A hurricane swept over Sufield and the region opposite, across the Connecticut river, during the thunder storm of Friday after noon. It was preceded by a black, angry gathering of cloud coming from the north west and which soon blaokened the whole heavens. Its path was about a mile wide. A dozen barns and tobacco sheds in Suffeld went to smash before it. The chief losses in Suffeld were: Bennett Bros large barn lifted from it's foundations, and smaller one de- molished; Halsey wright's new and exten- sive tobacco barn, 100 feet long, blown to pieces; Clinton Towns barn demolished, and tobacco building blown from it's foundations; j; Messrs Birge and Spaulding each lost barn i; Mrs Norman Adams, total loss of barn and wagon house one end of William Soper's barn blown of Job Fowler's barn blown down; Charles Tilden's barn destroyed; two barns of Arthur Sikes demolished Lewis Adams barn and tobacco shed blown down, and some minor casualties. beautiful grove belonging to Lyman Sykes was uprooted. The loss in Suf6eld will be between $lO,OOO and $12, ,OOO.
 The hail storm, which only lasted three or four minutes was remarkable for the size of the hail stones; nor did the rain last any longer; the main feature of the tempestuous drama was reserved for the third act, which, like the others, was short one; but while it lasted the gale was supreme. It swept iercely across the river and in Thompsonville dam aged Robert McCunie's splendid greenhouse $1O, 900. He rebuilt and restocked it after the fire at cost of $25,O ,OOO. It tore up a big poplar by the roots, tore off the top of E B Alden's barn, tore off the ell part of ten ement house, ruined large tobacco shed and did damage at this place estimated at $5, 900. All about the vicinity huge trees and small ones were uprooted.

In2ersOn.

At Loomis' Temple of Music last evening an address was given by Edward King, of New York, on ''The Strength and the Weak ness of Ingerson." The speaker gave Inger- soil some hard raps, and thought that his course was in some respects detrimental to Liberalism. He thought that IngersolIs at tack on the Puritans and the orthodoxy as harmful in their sweeping character, and said there was strong and growing liberal element in the orthodox churches, which In gersolrs vigorous denunciations had a tend ency to weaken. A man who said he was a farmer made a rambling answer in reference to Ingersoll, to which the speaker made some reply.
