Our Tornado.

Our little tornado on Friday light
made clean sweep in certain portions
of our two cities. 1t came through
in an easterly direction blowing over
lumber piles at Whorton Bros. yard,
in Centralia. Broke a number of
fruit trees for Mr.. Marcott, and blew
down his fences. Taking away part
of roof of our barn, raising Mrs.
Fontaine's new barn and carrying it to
the fence breaking several trees then
demolishihing trees at Mr.. Dutruits,
and splitting a PANEL door; taking
the small steeples off the Episcopal
church and wrenching it badly, break
ing the plaster. Then lifting some OF
J. W. Cochran's barn, also half the
roof Of Mr. Begleys barn; and passing
on took one chimney from Worthing-
tons dwelling, also breaking shade
trees, back door ETC., passing on it
took part of the FIGURING Mill roof
and a large barn near the mill was
carried into the slough demolishing ii
completely. Crossing the river it took
some of Mr.. McRaith trees blowing a
limb into the side of Mr.. Pariseau' 5
house. Then reaching the Green Bay
railroad it wrecked the old round
house, breaking it into rough look
ing mass of splinters. We have no
idea what the damage is in dollars and
cents, but it would amount to a large
sum.

Terrible Accident.

A terrible accident happened on the
Green Bay road between Whitehall
and Independence, on Saturday after
noon, while the passenger train was 60
ing west, it broke through culvert that
had been undermined by water, caused
by the heavy rains, between the time
the eastern bound train passed this
point and the time the west bound
train arrived to it. The engine pass
ed over all right until the drivers
struck the spot when it sunk through
smashing the cab, tender and baggage
car, and killing instantly the engineer,
Geo. Huber and the fremen, Moses
,Belrose, and injuring the Mail Agent
Geo. Hubbard. On recovering the
bodies they found Mr. Huber was
badly mangled. his bones were almost
all broken, and his flesh bruised,
while his hands were burned to a crisp
by fire from the engine. Mr.. Belrose
was injured principally on the head and
face and badly scalded. The passen-
ger cars were saved from the wreck
only from the fact that they had the
Blackstone Patent Couplers 1t was
a sad sight to behold and the death
of these two men has cast a gloom
over the entire line. Every locomo-
tive on the line has been draped in
mourning as token of the esteem in
which these men were held by the
company. and their comrades. Mr..
Huber, leaves wife and several child
rem. Mr.. Belrose is young man,
was about a years of age, hardly out
of his boyhood days. 1t is sad to
think of it.

uprooted trees aid smashed fences.
Reports from the country say immense
damage was done to grain and all
standing crops. Corn will recover,
but otner grains are laid fat and

of oak logs, and Webster & Lawson
and Chas. Wcvden, of Menasha, are
reported to have lost 1900, 900 feet
of pine logs, all of which broke loose
and came to Oshkosh, or were scatter

will be many thousands of dollars.
All cur lumbermen here suffer serious

Horrible Accident.

Gus Pariseau. student at the Val
ley depot, informs US that a horrible
accident occurred at Ben Singles Saw
Mill in Wausau, on Saturday after
noon. A young German while at
work near the slab fire, in some way
caught his foot so it became wedged
between the slabs, so that it was i'm
possible for him to extricate himself
and fell in the fire. Before he could
be rescued, he was burned to death.

even P. t, Barnumn's, will exhibit
at Stevens Point on the 10Th inst.
They have the wonderful electric light
in all its beauty, Those of our COM

wonder will find it convenient to visit
Stevens Point on this occasion. This

visit but have found it will be too
expensive for them considering the
present prospect for crowd.

them. In the western cities and
towns this has especially been the case
[ wish all my western audiences knew
how kindly l feel toward them Sc
much warmth, heartiness and sou
touched mel grew to have tender.
afectionate regard for these people
and now, in an hour of disaster, [ an
moved and saddened by their misfor
tune. When I learned of the caiami
ty that had swept over your place,
was stirred as at the troubles of {
friend. Sympathy is very poor pity,
[ am aware, but such as it is, is gen
uine and without cant.
[ do hope that you, personally, have
not been loser in any sense. If yor
can spare the time, write me of your

We are pleased to learn from our

engaged quite number of papils in
music for this Summer and Autumn.

has had for several years. This is as
it should be. 1t is hardly necessary
for US to speak of his merits as a
musician and teacher, when the fact is
well-known by every one that he is
the acknowledged ''boss:' in this sec.
ton. His reputation as a successful
teacher is second to none in the State
If there is any learn in pupil, he is
sure to bring it out. Another thing
ought to be remembered. He is teach
ing in this City and Centralia for
seventy-fve cents per lesson while his
charges are one dollar per lesson else
where, and are considered cheap al
that, by those who are competent
Judges. In the study of music none
but tirst-czass teachers ought to be EN-
yloyed. if they can be obtained. Par
ents will find it much cheaper in the
end. Mr.. Balcomb says pupils wish
ing to take lessons must begin by the
first week in August if they intend to
finish term as he is expecting to be
away from Nov. LIST, until April. We
hope however that Henry will find
employment enough here to keep him
with us all the time, and we are Ger.
tain his many friends concur with us
in this. Fill up has class.

Horse shOeing.

4 writer in the Gettysburg, Pa, C5m-
piIer says The shoes of the horse should
be of equal thickness throughout, with a
fat ground surface; as those with high
heels, which asinine smiths make in imi-
tstion Of their own, are dangerously ab-
surl. The toe, which ought to be raised
is lowered, and natures plan reversed,
which elevates the point in order To avoid
distractions. The web should be wide,
and Of the same width throughout, instead
OF being pinehed in because the smith likes
to see the shoe well set off at the heels.
This is both unphilosophical and detri-
mental. 1t deceiyes the eye of man, and
Injuries the foot Of the horse. The outer
edge Of the foot rests on the inner edge Of
the shoe, and the remaining width Of the
web projects beyond the hoof; SO that the
master who thinks that his horse has a
good open foot, only has to be proud Of a
bad open shoe, which both eonceals de-
formities underneath, and invites with
open arms bad road to come and do its
worst. The heels arc made bare just
where the nayicular joint is most exposed;
and if that be ingnmed, what must the
agony be when the unprotected foottreads
on sharp flint The horse falls sudden
ly lame, or drops as if he had been-
phrases in much too common use TO re-
quirc explanation; and small is the pity
which the suffering animal p,ee.s with from
man, who, having first destroyed the use
Of his victims feet, abuses him because he
cannot go; and imputes ''groginess' TO him
as a crime, as if he we're in liquor like a
groom, and not in agony.
