THE severe storm which passed
over our town last Sunday night,
and which did considerable mis-
chief throughout the county, seem
ed general and widespread, dong
great damage in many places in
Illinois and Missouri. Marshfield,
little town in the latter state was
utterly destroycd-a short account
of which we copy from the Mem.
phis Appeal:
"From passengers who passed
through Marshfed on the st. LOUIS
and San Francisco railroad at half.
past eight o'clock last night n few
facts concerning the terrible dsas-
ter are CLEANED. A man who came
TO the depot, at the edge of the town
while the train was there reported
that at halfpast six o'clock II furi-
Gus hurricane struck the place, aud
leveled all that part of the town
lying west of the center square fiat
to the ground. The debris immedi
ately took Gre in several places, and
the flames could be seen at some
halt.dozen points by passengers on
the train. Forty dead bodies had
been taken out, and many more
were suppose to be buried in the
ruins or burned up. There were
also many still living imprisoned IN
the at6ris of the fallen buildings.
A II the physicians were killed ex-
cept two, and there was great need
of doctors to attend the wounded,
Of whom it was SAID there were
some two hundred. A relief train,
with twenty physicians and nurses
and full! OF supplies, left Springfield,
No., tins morning for Mafshfcld,
and probably other trains will ar.
rive during the day. The storm
was general in south western Mis-
souri,, and other places have prob
ably suffered damage, but as the
telegraph wires are all prostrated
no advices have been received. Vi
olent hail and rain accompanied
the wind"
A great deal of damage was done
in our own state. At Dardanclle,
the storm was terrific, blowing down
houses, trees, fencing &C., but as tar
as heard from no lives bad boon
lost.

islature, strenuously urged action
in tins matter, that provision might
be made for the relief of the insane
OF the state, but each succeeding
Legislature has as persistently dis
regarded the suggestions Of the
Executive, and the wishes of their
constituency, by mastery inactlyi-
ty on the subject, except the "last
legislature" (savc the mark, } which
appointed a committee Of some six
or seven Of its members, who devo-
ted several weeks in riding about
over the railroads from place to
place, on dead head passes, under
the lame excuse of looking up an
other location for the Asylum, and
finally reported just on the eve of
adjournment, obtained the passage
of a bill appropriating $4,000 and
locating the cite at Hot Springs ; II
further appropriation was made to
defray the incidental expenses of
said perambulatng committee, all
of which was promptly vetoed by
the Executive OF the State, but tAe
committee was happy nevertheless.
They were furnished with frst-class
rides cigars and whisky stralghts.
Now, if the people OF the state
will wake up TO their interests, they
will send men to the noEt leglsla
turc, who will stay IN the represen-
tative halls; and discarding all bosh
and buncombe, do something for
the relief Of the people.

The County Judge of Faulkner
Arrested for Robbery.

Last night we received startling
piece of Information from Conway.
+. +. Adams, county and probate
judge Of Faulkner county was ar.
rested on a charge of robbing the
the sherifi's Office of five hundred
dollars. The particulars, as nearly
as We could learn them, are as fol.
lows: A. n. Moore, upon starting
to dinner yesterday locked the door
of the shorifi's office. He had no,
proceeded far when he met several
men who wanted to pay their taxes,
returning with them be found the
door unlocked. Entering he found
Adams.
"What are you doing here p
asked Mr.. Moore.
Adams, confused, replied: You
left the door unlocked and walked
OUT
Mr.. Moore went to the money
drawer and found that all the cash
had been taken out. Sheriff Town
send was informed of the affair, and
Adams was arrested. He proposed
to straighten the matter up, and
stated that he would pay twice the
amount it his name was kept from
the public in SO disgraccfuI d trans.
action. but despite this fact ant the
fact that he is Judge OF the county,
he was taken before Justice Morri
man aud bound over.
Adams was one oi the most por.
ular men in Faulkner county. Pos
seesed OF good education, and hav-
ing studied law with an application
which commended him to the bar,
he was looked upon as q rising
young man. Some time ago he es-
tablishcd the Currency, and since
that time has been its edltor.-Lit.

Praying Twice "a Bay.

1t is said of Robert Newton, the
Wesleyan preacher, that at his mar.
rage be and bis bride made 1t arule
to pray twice day with and fog
each other, and that this practice
was always maintained. The re-
suit was n life OF remarkable atfec.
ton and joy for fifty years, he him
self saying that " no unkind word
or look had ever passed between
them" There is no such preventive
against harsh things, no such healer
OF strife, no such strcngthener OF
affection rs prayer. Young married
people need it who have to learn to
assimllatc their taste for each other,
for love does not change natures
only makes them more easily bar
monized people in middle hie need
prayer when the burdens and trials
come, which youth, with its exu-
berance, would live down aud for
get aged people need prayer when
the little vexations seem like noun
tains, and a second childhood has
come with its easy heart breaks
and none of the elasticity of the
first.

a %tTCDg Argument for az,
Insane Asylum.

We have noticed several propo-
sitions Tor building an insane asy-
lum, and while our state has made
ample proposition for the care and
education Of her blind aud deaf
mutes, yet she has ignored and
neglected to provide any relief for
her poor and unfortunate insane,
who are left to the charity Of the
community, or confined in our
county jails and cast among Grimm
ais, IN many instances chained in
the same cell, and subjected to rough
treatment, unworthy brute, much
less human,-thcir d;et rough and
bedding uncomfortable. Our state
shonld build an asylum for herpoor
unfortunate insane, and provide for
their support, and we trust our next
Legislature will pass an act for that
purpose. We cite as rebuke to
the last legislature, AMI we could
cite many other cases equally as
bad, he following case in Faulkner
county as reported by the Log
Cabin:
Nancy Pate, OF Muddy Bayou
township, was committed to the
county jail last week by Squire
Lamar, This unfortunate woman
has for some time past been men
tally derangod, but not dangerously
80 until recently, OF late she has
been uncomfortable, causing much
alarm and trouble in the peighbor-
hood. AS a last resort she was
sent to Jail. 1t is a burning dis
grace that such objects of sympathy
are compelled to occupy ielon's
cell, all caused by the set of nlncom-
poops, who composed the last leg
islature, failing to provide an asy-
Ium for the insane" e."-Fourche Val
ley (Ark.) Tines.
With our brethren of the press,
all over the state, we deplore the
want of provision tor the unfortu.
nate insane OF the state but so
long as the people OF the state will
persis, in sending men to the legis-
lature who are themselves insane
on the subject that most directly
lead them to immediate themselves
for the dear people and their coun-
try's glory, i c. the per diem, so
long will that other class Of unfor.
tunates mentioned in the above ar-
ticle remain uncarcd for by the
state.
During the session OF the legisla-
turo Of 1873, Hon. II, NJ. McVeigh,
of this county, framed and intro
duccd bill providing for an Insane
Asylum for the State and an appro-
priation of $50 600, which was sue
cessfully engineered by that gentle
man, IN spite of strong opposition
in the lower house, and became o
law, and stands on the statute of
the state at this day. A committee
was appointed TO purchase a site for
the building a duty which was
faithfully performed but owing to
the deprecated condition of our
state scrip at the time, most Of the
appropriation went towards the
purchase OF the grounds. Every
Governor since that time has, on
