A terrific storm of wind and rain
passed over portions of this town on

of Ahira Moulton were almost entirely
destroyed. His barn was utterly de-
molished, and the boards and timbers
were scattered over the ground for a
long distance the pig-pen, with piggy
in it, was carried away bodily several
rods and landed against q stone wall ;
the roof of the dwelling house occu-
pied by Moulton and family was car
ried away, and the rain, which fell in
torrents, completely saturated the bed
ding, clothing, etc., and leaving the
folks in forlorn condition. Forum
ately no one was injured. Another
barn, belonging to Mrs. Mary Dunn
and an unoccupied dwelling house
were also blown down. Several sugar
orchards also suffered severely.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. InasoLD
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
pnly to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
ions in place, and supply strength. The
Burplus is not only needless, but undesira-
ble, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
ease must combine gold with some metal
hat will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
The james Boss Gold Watch Case ~, ~ Nan,
which saves the WASTE of need & q

BTREEGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

any practical value.

is only necessary to compare one OF
the machines built during the infancy
of the invention with one of the latest

ed this vicinity last Saturday evening
and did considerable damage. The
wind played sad havoc with the trees,
many being uprooted or broken in
twain. Judge Storrs says his three

hail storm, looked like one of those
political ROSTERS exhibited by Hiram
Atkins when he, or his party, suffers
