Amother Wisconsin Tornado.

''SNN@NOS'O
A fearful tornado swept through this
state from west to east last Monday morn
ing at a little after o'clock. The coun.
ties of Fond du Lac, Washington and La
Crosse suffered most from the devastating
winds. Houses and barns were blown
down and unroofed; fences, crops and
trees laid low, fruit injured and property
generally destroyed. The village of Oak
field, on the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway, nine miles south of Fond du
Lac, was damaged to a considerable ex-
tent. Among the buildings demolished
was the large hay press barn of King &
Erwin. The loss in the vicinity of Oak
field is estimated at $4,000. 1t is re-
ported that in the southern part of Fond
du Lac county alone $50 barns are de.
molished, and it is estimated that $4,000
worth of property has been destroyed in
the county. In the village Of
Brandon, Asmuth's elevator and the
Eagle Mills were unroofed and Butts
Moore's warehouse damaged. At Bel
GUM, Washington county, great dam
age was done to buildings. Compar
atively speaking very little rain accom-
panied the storm. Fortunately there il
no loss of life recorded in any locality
visited by the storm but several persons
are reported seriously wounded.
GOLD WATCH CAsEs.-It gives u!
pleasure to.call the attention of our read.
ers to the series of advertisements of the
James Boss Gold Watch Cases now ap.
pearing in our columns. This watch
case has been on the market Nor nearly
thirty years and has attained reputa
ton which is second to none, it now be
ing universally conceded to be the stand
ard. The James Boss Gold Watch Gas
es are made of two plates of solid four
teen karat gold, soldered on each side of
a plate of hard nickel composition metal
These plates of gold are thick enough tc
admit of engraving, chasing, etc., and
supply all the gold needed for practical
use, while the composition plate furnishes
the strength and soIidity needed in every
watch case, and yet lacking in those made
ofsolid gold. Although these cases are
as good, and in some points better than a
solid gold case, the cost is only about
one.half as much.

THE CLOVER CRoP.-In this vicinity
the work of securing the clover crop is
progressing favorably. The crop is a
heavy one but has suffered some damage
from the excessive wet weather, many
pieces especially on low lands having a
tendency to rot. This has fastened on
the whole the cutting of the crop before it
was fully matured, some farmers being
afraid to risk its standing any longer for
fear of rains working still more injury.

From the foregoing description. nee.
essarily short and hastily written, it may
be readily gathered that Coney Island is
most remarkable and unique watering
place. Within one hours journey Of
New York it furnishes thousands of peo-
pie, who cannot leave the city during the
summer months, except for a very brief
period, a chance for seaside diversion,
bathing and fresh air while those of more
aristocratic tendencies who have plenty
of money to spend, can be equally graft.
fed. 1t is, however, from the great
throng of daily pleasure seekers, made
up of all classes of society, that Coney
Island gains its peculiar picturesqueness
and animation. The whole lengta of the
beach. some s miles, on bright summer
day, is never-ending procession of peo-
pie, from men and women of the highest
social rank and position, to the more
humble mechanics and laborers out for a
days airing with their families; and the
contrasts Of life and character resulting
from this heterogeneous assembly give Co
ney Island It's greatest charm aside from
the sea, air and sunlight, and it can well be
believed, as is claimed, that there is no
summer resort or watering place in
the world that can equal it in any re-
spect.

valuable paper to say few words in
behalf of our colorcd school of Winrhes-
ter under management of Prof. D. A..
townsend, who is laboring so earnestly
for the promotion and education of our
people, and whose services they cannot
VOL at present dispense with.
llt examination exercises commenced
on the Both ultimo, and closed in the
afternoon of Friday, June the 1st. The
students acquitted themselves in n very
scholarly manner, which plninly showed
that they had not been i,lling away
their time, and that Prof. Townsend
had discharged his duties in n way that
called forth the plaudits of his patrons.
And, judging from the interest mani,
tested by the patrons, j. was plain that
they were not unconscious of the great
benefit he had been to them in educating
their children. The classes all did ex.
cccdingly well. The musical depart.
mcnt, under the control of Mrs. i A.
Townsend, added much to the occasion.
! noticed IL few of our white friends
in attendance, which pleased me much.
