A severe windstorm and heavy rainfall
visited tins section on Wednesday evening
last. A number trees were uprooted
limbs torn of and corn thrown prostrate'
There were several trees struck by light
ming but no serious damage done. The
rain was needed and much more than com
pensated for all damage done.
Reports from various sections of this
state and Pennsylvania are conflicting as
to the probable yield of wheat. Whine
from some come cheering reports of aver
age crops and better, froni others the csti-
mate is laid as low as one-halt. In this To-
cality the yield will not be above two
thirds of an average crop, yet the quality
of the grain will be excellent.

Of the chief magistrate. The circumstance
under which these officers were called I,
the discharge Of the duties Of the Presi

iA A government vessel was Immediately
sent to bring him to the Capitol where he
arrived April 6, and privately took tho
oath Of office. Gen. Harrison's Cabinet
held that Mr.. Tyler. while discharging
the duties of President, should bear the
title: Vice President, Acting President" I"
but by the advice Of Chief Justice Taney,
he assumed the full title Of President.
Mr.. Tyler retained the Cabinet Of Gen.
Harrison until September IL, whom, be-
cause Of . rupture with the President, oil
resigned except Daniel Webster, who. was
Secretary Of State.
Gen. Taylor was the second President
who died while in Office. His illness was
even more brief than that OF Gen. Harri-
son, lasting from July to July Q. I'm
mediatsly after his death the Cabinet
officers addressed an official letter to Vice.
President Fillmore, giving him official
notification Of the vacancy, which he in

A discussion occasionally breaks out ~
10 whether or not cows have front teeth.
The funny man Of wester paper has re-
Gently written an amusing sluib on the
subject Several occurrences of similar
kinds. which are truthful, have happened
in New England.
An 0ldtown Massachusetts, farmer, one
morning, having nothing Of particular mo.
ment on hand, dropped into aneighbors
and in reading apapcr. came across =
story Of man who desired 10 go into
stock raising and boughta COW Of . ncigh.
Dor. The next day he drove his purchase
back, because she had no front upper
teeth.
"Why, you laundering fooll" sxclaim.
ed the dealer, "dont you know that no
COW has front upper tecthY'
At the conclusion Of the story two Old.
town farmers stared incredibly moment
at each other.
ibid you know that bsiorss" asked
number one.
"No. nor any one else. It's ooaiouud.
ed lie"
Neither, however, felt perfectly oon-
WINGED; and the next morning tho two
were in provision store in tswn. and
again raised the question.
Perched upon stool in the Office WAS
one Of those knowing men to bo found in
every village. Down he jumped from the
stool on hearing the query, rushed out In
to the front Of the store, and exclaimed.
"What nonscnsel Any fool knows that
cows have front upper teeth" 4
The dictum Of the knowing man wr,
about tobe accepted, whena farmer whose
weight Of years and well.known lore in
farming entitled TO him TO orodence, was
seen approaching, to whom II was agreed
to leave the matter.
"Mr. JONES'" said one. shave cows front
upper teeth?" y'2's
"No, street" replied the old gentleman.
bringing his cane down with an emphatic
bang.
And SO the matter was settled for time.
The same afternoon one Of the origi nal
came up town and met friend,
from large milk-farm on West Newbury
road, driving sn ox-cart. He got in with
him, and, as they meandered through the
streets Of Newburyport, the old gentleman
whose positive knowledge about cows had
settled all argument, came along. II
"There," said the Oldtown disputant--
"there goes man who settled funny ,
question for us this morning"
"What question:"
"Why, that cows have no front upper ,
teeth. Did you know it?" ,
know it, shouted the man from the
milk farm. ~ know it's lie and will ,
prove it to you. Just wait till feed these
cattle"
Arriving at their destination, the oxen
we're unyoked. and the milkman took out
, bundle Of hay, when the investigation {
vas inaugurated. The OK opened his I
mouth when the milkman looked, looked \
urpriseJ, looked again, and then started
,ack, with the exclamation: q
"Well, Joe, don't say word about this =
hing, and I'll treat" i
