A terrific cyclone passed over the
north part of this township, taking a
nOrtheasterly direction, about three
o'clock Sunday afternoon, scattering
destruction in its path. On the farm
of Marcus Heath, occupied by Jacob

Shalersville, twelve or fifteen trees in
the orchard were uprooted, the new

tered promiscuously over the ground
for distance OF forty rods or more, o
chicken coop and out-building were
wrecked, and the fences on the farm
for the space of from thirty to forty
rods wide were completely prostrated,
not one rail being left upon another.
At Freedom Center the hearse house
was upset and tumbled against the
Town Hall, a row of church sheds
Frustrated, several barns unroofed,
chimneys blown down and the Church
damaged to the amount of $50 or $lOO.
The storm was also severely felt at

AT THE FAIR.
An Awful Hush, and what Came
of ii.

An Awful flush, and what Came
Of it.
One of the most noticeable incidents
of the great Fair was the stream OF
people continually making their way
to the stable back of the grand stand,
each wearing an eager look, as though
they Were too late to catch a glimpse
Of the object sought, hut upon their
return great change could be seen
upon the face of each and every one,
for instead of doubt and fear their faces
wore very pleasant look. They had
heard of the great treat in store for
them, and had doubts of the reality,
but upon their return all doubts were
removed, for they had seen the object
and were so highly pleased that each
one communicated the glad tidings to
his neighbors, and the great rush was
the result, and in a short time the
secret of the stampede was known
from ope side of ths grounds To the
other. Some one made the remark
that Seth Andrews was there with his
beautiful black horse, and that was
enough to cause rush in any direc.
ton. The horse being so widely
known and having the reputation OF
being the handsomest horse in the
State, those who had not gazed upon
his beauty determined to do so at any
cost. He is as strong as an elephant
and as gentle as kitten, two points
worthy of respect in any horse. Every
one complimented Mr.. Andrews upon
owning the finest horse ever shown in
the State, and We predict he will have
more business than he can possibly at.
