The wind came up from the South
Lest Saturday night and raged with
fury during half the night. The heev-
ems In the 6outh were black and blue,
and the distant thunder seemed IKE
Q terrific cannonade. With al the
blow and blustef and promonitione q
coming rain, only . few drops fell
that night.
We learn that the storm Saturday
night was terrific ct some points IN
the Dry Greek country. At Dry Creek
postOfiice the largest-size hatl-stonee
beat the window panes Into pieces and
destroyed large quantity Of growing
wheat. This was In the neighborhood
Of the Agnew place. There was .
large demand for window glass st
Lindsburg the next day.
There was . large attendance 1t the
NJ. E. church last Sunday night, and
the Union song service which had
been advertised passed of In q very
gratifying manner. The Introductory
services were conducted by Elder A.
ID. Goodwin, of the Christian church.
The singing under the dictatorship Of
Prof. Leslie was very fine. Allseemed
well pleased with the musical treat.
The directors Of the Agricultural So
ciety met last Tuesday, and adopted Q
constitution and bylaws for the gov
eminent Of the association. The sec
Rotary was instructed to correspond
with the secretaries of the various fair
associations, to ascertain when their
respective fairs are to be held, 20 that
our county fair will not conflict with
the Others. The Board adjourned to
meet in two weeks.
The Commissioners order for the
removal of the bridge over the Saline
river at the Buell. place, has been
interferred with by q temporary in
junction, which suspends all proceed
ings until thescase comes up for hearing
in the District Court. The County
Commissioner met Monday for the
purpose Of letting the contract for the
removal, but finding that they were
restrained by order Of the court, adj
jOurned without action.
Now that the liquor traffic has been
disposed Of, as 1t should be under the
existing laws Of our State, we hope to
see gambling in any form, all lotteries,
| etc., crowded out Of our town. There
Is too much Of this business here,
which Is doing nearly as much harm
| to the young men as drinking. Let
the law against gambling be strictly
| enforced, and let all officers who do
not do their duty In this respect be re-
quired to perform it.
Samuel A. Wildman, Esq, promi-

| sion price Is only . cents. This il
regarded As q very fine lecture, and
those who attend will be favored with
q splendid intellectual and historical
treat.

Chas. Sanden's Seventh street resi-
dence was found In flames, and the
fire had % advanced that the building

/ rather too near to be safe The stable
