A Terrific Rain Storm.

The heaviest rain storm that has
visited this part of the country since
the great storm of June 10th, two
years ago, came last Monday night.
The storm commenced about 9 O'Clock
in the evening, and continued almost
without intermission until 8 O'Clock
in the morning. The lightnings lit up
the heavens with almost one continual
blaze and the wind was terrific.
The damage to property, i'm town,
was very light, a few out houses were
overturned, and divers loose articles
lit out for greener pastures and a
more congenial cline, while garden
truck was promisciously strewn about,
and this reminds us that the damage
to growing crops in the county must
have been very great. We hope to
get reliable reports from different parts
of the county before going to press.
RAISER Bros, large frame barn was
blown down and entirely demol.
ished.
In the vicinity of Guide Rock a
number of windmills were blown
down.
A postal card from G.. W. Knight,

WRESTLING TO A SQUIRREL.

One afternoon last summer, whens out
looking for game, l sat down on pile OF
rails to rest. Pretty soon / discovered in
an oak tree, some twenty yards away, a
red squirrel stretched at full length on a
limb taking sun bath. Instead of raising
my rifle and sending ball through the
little fellow Cts mighty mean sports
man that endeayors to kill all he seesl, I
decided to give him little pleasure if l
could, so l commenced to whistle the air of
that once popular dirty, 81 Love Thee,
Sweet Norah 0'Neil." In twinkling the
squirrel was up on his hind legs, his tail
over his back, his head cooked to one side,
listening to me. A moment of irresolution
and then he came scampering down the
trunk of the tree to the ground, and started
toward me he came few yards, stopped,
sat up on end and listened again. / was
careful not to move, and kept on whistling.
After waiting moment the little beauty
came Oh, jumped up on the pile of rails, ran
along within four feet of me, halted, went
up on end again, made an umbrella Of his
tail, tipped his head to one side, looked at
me with all the gravity of justice of the
peace at his first trial, and yet if ever a
creatures eyes beamed with pleasure his
did. did not move, but after little /
