nothing but wind-storms had pre-

to delote where corn had been plant

buttelnuts, though the stones were
nearly of full size, and the mammoth
pears:shrunk to the size of dwarfs.
On: the Monday in question a
strong, hot southwest wind com
menced blowingearly in the morning.
The air became red and quivering,
assuming the appearance ola sirocco

tween the Neosho and Cottonwood,
