A large and pleasant company went up to
Quincy last week TO witness the performance of
The Pirates of Penzance, by a select company of
amateurs of Quincy under the leadership of Mrs
J. G. Gibbes and assisted by Miss Leila Shine
of Tallahassee. The party included Mr.. and
Mrs. John S. Winthrop and Miss Billion, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. A. Shine, Mrs. Bull, Miss Ella Bull,
Miss Mary Gamble, Miss Shepard, and number
of young gentlemen.
The entertainment is described by those who
attended ii as one Of the most delightful OF the
kind ever known, aud the impromptu dance, at
Mrs. Gibbs residence after the performance, was
heartily enjoyed by all.
The Tallahassee visitors are loud and sincere
in their praises of the profuse and unstinted hos
ptality of the Quincy people.

On Monday last Mr.. C. C. Pearce Collector of
Revenue, made his annual sales of delinquent
lands. The sales were &c only in number, al
though GA descriptions had been embraced in the
first publication Of the advertisement, the differ

the number who paid up before sale day OF
the rs sales made, II were 10 private parties, and
only 9. to the State, involving total tax I'M

Landowners VSs
The following memorandum plan has been
promulgated by leading merchant of Talahas-
see a solution Of the great problem, What
shall we dO?"
AS many owners of real estate as can be in
duced TO go into the arrangement shall pledge
portion of their lands 10 be surveyed into 4O-acre
lots and offered through proper agencies to &C
tual settlers at the price at which they are APP
praised for taxation, to be paid for in annual
installments; retaining the balance OF their lands
to be benefited by the sale of the other.
Just so "As many as can he induced" may
doubtless be counted on the fingers of one hand
The truth is that the number who can be in
duccd," to take any step at all, even the easy
one of regular attendance at the meetings, and
reasonable encouragement of the efforts of such
enterprises as the Leon County Farmers Club and
The Middle Florida Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Association, is wofully and lamentably small.
The largest and wealthiest landowners and mer-
chants seem TO be quite contented with things
just as they are and although not exactly OBJ
structing such efforts at relief as others may
make, they show more plainly than by words,
that they have no sympathy with the sentiment
which clamors for change in our domestic
system as the only means of relief from threat
cning evils
This should not be so, and we urge eUeyy citi
zen Of our county, whether he he planter or mer-
chant, and whether living in the country or the
towns, TO Join with the few who have already
organized for a campaign against the spirit Of
lethargy and indifference which has heretofore
held possession Of the best and fairest section OF
the State, and TO aid them TO throw of the hor-
rible spell which has paralyzed the interests and
energies of Middle Florida, and bring into active
operation every natural advantage of the coun-
try, and so remodel its internal economy rs to
pyOue to the world outside, what we know and
have always maintained that Middle Florida is
naturally the farest and richest region on the
American Continent.

No Use.

From conversations with quite number of
the prominent planters OF Leon, we learn that
the people have not planted for a crop OF corn
more than large enough 10 supply one-half the
demand for next year; from which we infer that
it is OF no sort of use 10 try to make the agrcul
turists OF this county see their own interests
Jefferson always, or almost always has corn
crop large enough TO supply local demands
while Leon often imports more than she pro-
duces. So we grow poorer year by year, and all
the farmers clubs in the world won't do any
good unless the farmers can be taught that there
is nolmoney in persistcntly raising cotton TO sell
for or cents pound, while feeding Western
corn at 81 per bushel.

Terrible Cyclones in Missouri.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 14.-Sun-
day was terrible day for cyclones
in northwest Missouri. Atmospheric
pressure was very great between 4
and in the afternoon, and during
that one short hour no less than
three twisters dealt death and de-
struction in as many paths. The
first that came to the knowledge Of
the Herald was from King City and
vicinity. This cyclone started near
Savannah, in Andrew county. Its
course was northeast, through Flag
Springs and King City. Many
houses were destroyed, and not less
than twelve lives were lost In
Andrew county. At Flag Springs
and King City the destruction was
much greater, the loss of life in that
vicinity being probably fifty men,
boilers or non election IL g l, will
be held, and their course u. be de-
termined upon in joint convention.
Before the increase caused by the
recent admission of members the
non-electionists required 81 votes to
unite with the Democrats and defeat
an election, but now about 40 votes
are needed for that purpose. There
is promise of an highly exciting ses-
sion to-day.

school building in King City, large

ground. Hundreds of horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep were killed, one man
losing eighty cat le; another sixty
sheep, and another seven horses.
Ano her cyclone started four miles
southwest of Rosedale and REEVE

mile south of Rosedale.

clones was east by nostheast Anoth-

wide, and nothing escaped destruc>

been lost in all of these cyclones and
the destruction to property, which
cannot now be estimated, was very
great.

in the presence of these gentlemen.
We have not seen Mr.. Andes, but
neither Reeder nor Russell heard

made. We care nothing for it
never asked him to make the denial,

him make it, as we afterward told
Mr. Andes. We expect him to help
bolster up his uncle Houk, even if to
do SO he must enconomize the truth.

james COuntY'S TrinIe Murder.

Sam Mattox and Vance and VIM. Norman,
accused of the murder of Griffey and
Brooks in James county in January last,
after preliminary hearing before Judge
Trewhitt at Ooltewah last week, were each
bound over to court in the sum of S5, ,000
and the bonds were promptly given. All
are men of high standing and responsibility,
the Normans being well-known physicians,
and much excitement prevails over the case.
Griffey and Brooks were being guarded by
the three men above named when killed,
and they (Griffey and Brooks, were under
arrest for assassinating Henry Yarnell, a
respectable farmer. Yarnell, the man first
murdered was a brother-in-law of the Nor
MANS and an uncle of Mattox, and it is al
legged that by numbering their prisoners, and
claiming that they were shot by unknown
parties while under their care, they re.
venged their knsman's death.

Destructive Storm in Central and
Western Iowa.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, June 14.-One
OF the most destructive storms that
