The storm Of January Z, 1879!

plaintive wall come on the breeze,
For parent, brother and child, .
In scattered shanties, lone and drear,
Ger Minnesota's lonely wild.
Woe to the wives and little ones,
WHO death escaped in awful form;
For husband, team, herds all
Alike have persisted in the storm.
Oh, who can count the tears that flow,
o. lift the weight from crushing heart,
While bowling winds and drifting snow
Severed the strong and golden chain,
Uniting until death should part.
Maternal love, thy matches power
Let angels tell, for mortals would the gold alloy
They could mothers feelings tell,
Clasping in cold embrace her frozen boy.
Unsheltered beasts, sad sight to see!
In cold November storm,
For grain unfinished had left no means
TO buy the clothing nice and warm.
And long miles the wood to haul, III
And teams, their owners thnly clad,
Facing cold winds and driving storms;
Some had enough, and down wood too,
Who would not for money sell another load
Then keep your wood, poor miser souls,
For confagration's last abode;
Perhaps you may the fuel need
More than round dollars for the load.
December month seemed long and drear,
And many mourned their friends deceased,
For fevers ragged. diseases spread,
While cold and stOrms increased
And many with kind heart and voice
Their friends with happy New Year greet,
Who sleep the dreamless sleep Of death,
The bowling winds their funeral knell,
And feecy snow their winding sheet.
The seventh came 80 mild and warm,
Old Boreas had gone to rest,
And many men with face of care
Made plans for storms to prepare
"Come, get my breakfast early,
to the mill must start,
For meat and -four are running low,
And must get load Of wood
Before another storm or snow"
II go to town with load Of wheat,
Get all the sacks, We must not lag,
Our clothing's thin, and children's too,
Their little feet bound mp in rags
But bark! the sound OF storm approaching,
Boreas from his nap wakes with a groan,
None dreaming he'd come so soon;
Scenes Of that solemn, awful night
! Description would defy.
I ) where the man that sent for wood and food,
| And clothing warm and shoes for little feet7
Freezing, lost forever! lost, the winds reply.
| ltmade me think Of horrid War,
When boat went South, laden with our boys,
With music came and touched Winona's shore;
With streaming eyes we clasped our treasurers,
l And tried to say the last farewell;
The loud hurrah, the cheers from boat and shore,
Sent sorrows to our lonely hearts.
The freezing ones whom death had marked,
Themselves and teams blinded by snow and ic
Fail at length all objects to descry,
For earthly aid the wind and storm defy.
What think you, mourners, did they pray7
God help you then to pray the same,
For mercy and their sins forgiven,
That loved ones family might meet in heaven.
Stewards Of God, Of earthly treasure
Send help to wife and little ones,
Who death escaped In awful form,
! Where husband, team and oil
Alike have persisted in the storm.

Taken by Storm.

OWaCOnna, MIMI, Mdrcn III, 1851.
Mr.. Luther Nicholas, New Ulm.
Dear Sir Yours of the 2lst inst. re-
questing me me state how 1 like the
Homes wineSelf. Binder has just come
to hand, and in reply Ihave to say that
one I purchased last year worked to my
entire satisfaction, in fact much bet
ter than expected. cut and bound
about 100 acres of wheat-having no
oats last season, my timber ground
not being adapted to them. The
straw was very heavy but the binder
proved it's competency to take care of
doing it's work admirably. The binder
which is self-regulator is the best
invention in that line have ever seen.
My reasons for thinking so are: First,
the bundles are all the same size
which is essential for good stacking
Second, it is a self-threader, thereby
no time is lost in stopping the machine.
Third, it is so simple in it's construc-
ton that it requires no expert to run
it. Fourth, it is of very light draft.
Fifth, it costs less to run it than it
does wire binder, my Irvine costing
me but 20cents per acre, while wire is
almost double that. In conclusion I
do not hesitate to recommend the ma
chine to my fellow farmers, for I have
tried it and know Of it's competency to
do it's work well.
Yours Respectfully,
r-f= Jno. Zimmerman.

Sudden Death.

Isaac Weagley, father our of young
friend j. Luther Weagley, dropped sud
denly dead at the residence at Five
Forks, in franklin county, on Monday
morning last. We are told he was ap-
parently IN his usual health and left his
house to go to the barn and when about
midway fell and expired. Heart
trouble was doubtless the cause. Last
spring Mr.. w. removed from Upton to
the latter place. He was an upright
man and worthy citizen, and his sud
sorrow to his many near friends and a
large circle of acquaintances. He was
aged about 60 years. Wdynsboro

A Boys Sad End.

New YORK, May 26.-The police re-
port that Henry M. Radcliff, eleven
years old, was found dead in the yard in
the rear of his residence, No. 81 Laight
street. Investigation revealed the fact
that the boy had been given whisky to
drink, and from his fathers statement
before the coroner he thought his son,
in his delirium, had assembled to the roof
and walked off. The boy was a sound
sleeper, and in good health, and was
never known to do the like before.
George Evans testified that broker
named Harry had given the boy liquor,
and offered him five cents to take the
second glass, and at length prevailed
upon him to take the second glass.
Harry was custom house broker, and
was drunk at the time. The police are
looking after him.

The Reading Trouble.

PITTsBURG, May 27.-Judge M'Ken-
nan to-day authorized the receivers of
the Reading railroad to borrow 81 ,000,-
COO for the payment of wages of employ
ees and interest falling due on June lst.
Samuel Dixon, attorney for the receiv-
ers, appeared before the Judge in ar.
plication for the order. He submitted
a preliminary statement of the condi-
ton of the company, showing its assets
and liabilities, but stated that tull re-
port would be made in short time by
the receivers.
The application today merely sets
forth the necessity of meeting the inter-
est due on the consolidated mortgage
bonds of the issue of 1871, falling due
June 1st, and asked for authority to bor-
row 81, 600, 900 for interest and the wag-
es of employees. The order Of the court
prescribed the form of certificates of the
loan which are made transferable by en-
dorsement and made payable after ten
days notice, at the expiration Of which
time interest shall cease.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


WASHINGTON, d. c., May 26, 1880.
Agricultural operations cease on the noun
talnside when the eruption begins at the crater
above. 30 Congress ought to suspend business
or the attempt to do business when the Presi-
Dental Conventions begin. All the legislation
consummated between June Cd and election
day In November will be very little, and that
little very bad. There is disposition within
the last few days to ignore the House PROPOSE
tion for adjournment on the 31st of this month";
aud prolong the session into the month of
June. This may mean July or August.
still hope both parties will agree to get away
by the end of the month, but there is no GER
talnty of 1t.
The appropriation bills are well advanced,
except the general deficiency bill and that will
probably be reported to-day. 1t stays behind
the rest, as one trusty person behind picnic
party, to pick up whatever little valuables may
have been left by others. AS the bill will now
be reported 1t will be complete in itself, but
either in House or Senate it will receive amend
ments to cover what was unintentonally
dropped from other bills or is found at the last
moment of the session to be necessary. There
is never, or hardly ever, any debate on this
bill. Except these appropriation bill don't
believe any important measure, with the possi-
BILE exception of Senator Bayard's special dep
uty Marshals bill and Senator Morgan's joint
rule for counting the Electoral vote, will pass,
even If the session is prolonged. The former
re-enacts the provision as to Deputy Marshals
which the President vetoed two months ago in
the Immediate Deficiency bill, and the latter
provides that both Houses must concur in
order to throw out single set of returns from
State, and that both Houses must also concur
in order to receive set of returns whenever
there is more than one set. These are both
party measures-so considered by the Demo-
Grassland will almost certainly pass.
OF the Democratic Presidential situation, as
seen here, nothing can be said except that
Tilden seems to have the lead so far. There
may be doubt as to what aspirant is second,
but L think on the whole that Hancock has
more strength than any other. This is merely
the Washington. view, however. There are no
indications, beyond the fact that Pennsylvania
will present his name, and three other States
are pledged to him, that he is or will be more
successfully pushed at Cincinnati than Thur
man, Hendricks, Field or Payne.

A Passenger Car on Fire.


The Patriot of Friday says the Niaga-
ra and Chicago express train was whiZ-
zing along over the shining tracks of
the Pennsylvania railroad endeavoring
to reach this city at 1910 p. M, the time
marked in the schedule for its ARRIVAL
The train was composed of five cars, In
charge of Conductor Charles Rowan
Just as the train was passing earns
station, point short distance west of
Mt. joy, passenger rushed through
the forward cars in search of the con-
ductor, crying excitedly;
We are all ON fire back there ~
The train was stopped instantly and
investigation proved that the third car
in the train labelled No. 16, bound for
Pittsburg, was on fire. The coach was
occupied by about thirty passengers, la
dies, gentlemen and children, among
whom the greatest excitement prevail
ed, By the time the train was stopped
and the passengers removed from the
burning car, the fire had made too great
headway to be extinguished. The only
way to save the train was to clear 1t of
the burning car. Tie two rear cars
were accordingly detached and left
standing, while the remaining portion
of the train with the coach attached was
run at rapid rate of speed to the head
of the siding which is located at that
point and backed down off the main
track. On the way up to the siding the
conductor discovered several gentlemen
in the rear of the burning cars, who had
failed to get out when the train stopped.
They appeared very nervous at their sit
uation, but the conductor knowing that
they were in no actual danger did not
stop the train until the car was placed
on the siding. A high wind was blow
ing and there it was permitted to stand
and burn, while the conductor took the
engine and ran up to Elizabethtown to
report the occurrence. AS soon as the
car had burned sufficiently to make it
safe to go by, the two sections of the
train were Joined and the express pro-
ceed on its way. The fire caused de-
lay of one hour and twenty-five min
utes. The value of the burned car was
about $4,000. The fire originated from
locomotive spark which was blown
through one of the ventilating aper-
lures and became lodged in the lining of
the roof of the car.

that the good man was going TO ride the
trick mule, but not so. Searles and Miss
b. stepped out into the ring "a new sort Of
wedding ring) and we're duly married. The
immense crowd applauded, the CLOVIS kiss

wedding march.
fB- Tuesday morning a serious railroad
accident occurred upon the Pennsylvania
railroad, which might easily have proven
fatal to three of the employees Of the roadf-
Engine 8s7 of the local freight east, while
engaged in shifting coal cars in the west
ern part of Lancaster, was thrown from
the trestlework upon which IL was running
and dashed to the ground, losing It's smoke
stack, and otherwise damaging its machi-
merry. The engineer was hurt internally
but will recover, and the two brakemen,
though thrown over fence into field,
were but slightly injured. The trestle
work was dashed to atoms, the engine
falling distance Of ten feet. Wreckers
soon arrived from Columbia and began
clearing the track.

THE Assistance Treasu rer of the Uni
ted States at New York, in letter to
Secretary Sherman, calls attention to
the condition of the silver vault there.
He says that the additional amount
which can safely be deposited in it will
not exceed $1O,OOO,OO0. He says that
the present stock of silver weighs over
five hundred tons, and the lateral press
ure, if increased, will tend to force out
the lattice partition and precipitate the
whole mass of coin into the passage
way. He expresses apprehension as to
what is to be done with the quantity of
silver if the present rate of coinage is to
be maintained.

judicial Tyranny.

A criminal case was recently tried in
Winfield, Cowley county, Kansas, In
which lawyer was the defendant. The
case excited considerable feeling among
the people Of the county, and 1t resulted
in the conviction of the defendant, who
was sentenced to imprisonment in the
penitentiary for term of five years.
The editors of two newspapers published
in Winfield, severely criticised the YER
dict of the jury, and also the action of
the court before which the case was
tried. This aroused the indignation of
the Judge, who ordered that the two
editors should be brought before him to
answer for contempt. When they ap-
peared in court he lectured them sharply
aud fined them 5000 each. The editors
insist that the court had no legal author
ity to impose fine on them In this
way, and hence they have appealed to
the Supreme Court.

The Reading Railroad.

The Reading Railroad has passed into
the hands of receivers. They were APP
pointed by Judge Mcl<ennan, and are
Stephen A. Caldwell, of the Fidelity
Trust, Edwin M, Lewis, president of
the Farmers and Mechanics Bank, and
Franklin b. Gowen, president of the
Reading Railroad.
The receivers are officers of the court
appointing them they act under its eye,
and to it they are Immediately RESPONSE
BILE. In this case the Court has appoint
ed two masters to which the receivers
are to make monthly reports. The
company cannot further increase its
Indebtedness by borrowing. Its earn
ings will go, first, toward paying the
operating expenses, and the remainder
to meet the interest on its debt in the or
der of preference. This will leave a
large portion of the debt, including what
is known as the floating debt, drawing
no interest. Whether a rising market
and the appreciation of railroad and coal
property will eventually enable the
Reading Company or its receivers to
meet the interest on the bonds, pay off
its floating Indebtedness and leave some.
thing over for stockholders, is a problem
which time will solve if allowed to work
it out without other interruption.

Fearful Force of a Cyclone.

The Bloomington Paragraph, says
The gigantic force of the cyclone in
Arrowsmith and Padua, recently may
be imagined from the following stems
of timothy hay were driven like arrows
into oak gate-posts to the depth of two
or three inches. The posts were some
what decayed, but still strong and dura-
bic, and so hard that one could not pos
sibly force steel wire into them to the
same depth. There are hundreds of
these stems still sticking in the posts.
That the margin of the cyclone was
well defined is clearly. proven. A
wagon was lifted bodily, hurled over
into an adjoining field, and smashed to
atoms, while cultivatot standing
within six feet of the wagon was un-
touched. A little hatchet lay on top of
the cultivator, which possibly accounts
for its escaping.

Killed by Llahlnlna.

EAsToN, Pa, May 2S.-- About 1890
O'Clock last night, during the prevalence
of an unusually severe storm, lightning
struck the residence of Daniel Oster-
stock, near Philipsburg, N. j., the bolt
entering the north end of the house and
passing through two rooms. On the
second floor in the first room, a child
sleeping in cradle, was not injured at
all, though covered with plastering,
which fell from the ceiling and sides of
the room. In the other room four
children were sleeping, two in bed and
two on mattress on the floor. Three
were uninjured, but the fourth, lad
aged eleven, was instantly killed though
his brothers alongside of him were not
even awakened. The bolt then passed
downward into q room where the par
ents were preparing to retire. The
father was badly stunned, remaining
unconscious for several hours, while the
mother was unconscious for half an
hour. The bolt passed out of the build
ing, demolished pump and uprooted
the ground in the yard for 80 or 35 feet
In Williams township, Northampton
county, hailstones of immense size fell
and crops were much damaged. The
storm was the most violent that has
visited this section in many years.
