Death and Destruction,

A cyclone passed through the southern part
OF Delaware county, lud., the other evening,
laying waste large tract of country. Ii struck
the little village Of OakviUe, eight miles south
OF Muncie, aud played sad havoc. Oakville
contained about - houses Just before the cy-
clone struck 1t, all but three OF which were
blown down, numbers OF them being broken
into small pieces aud whiried In every direc
tion.' The desolation can scarce be imagined,
and It seems almost miraculous that the loss
Of life was not more terrible, only seven per-
SOUS being reported killed, including children,
although blown hither and thither by. the
Winds that destroyed their homes.

troyed and whole forests Of trees were laid

The citizens OF Muncie are actively interest
ing themselves in behalf OF the sufferers, and
will render them whatever relief is necessary.

The Bayard men in Washington are
chuckling over the discontinue of the
friends of Mr.. Cleveland during the
past two or three days. For some
reason not fully explained there IS less
confidence to-day that Cleveland will
be nominated than there was week
ago. No person can tell exactly what
has checked the Cleveland "boom "
beyond the fact that some Of the
So called Independent Republican
newspapers have given expression to
the opinion that he would not be en-
tireiy satisfactory to their supposed fol-
lowers. The general drift OF opinion
and gossip in Democratic circles is that
Cleveland has just enough strength to
make him formidable candidate, and
one whom the others must com bine to
beat. just now he is the target for the
attacks of all those who want another
candidate nominated.
1t is curious fact, and one which
occasions both surprise and comment,
that despite Mr.. Tilden's letters there
are large NUM- Der of prominent Demo-
Gratis here who still believe that he can
and will be forced to accept the nomi
nation at Chicago. These men Insist
that there is no other candidate who
can lead the party to success in Novem-
Der, and that it is a great mistake to
assume that Mr.. Blaine will not be
a strong candidate before the people
and that the latter will not use every
effort to make the canvass an agrees.
i've one They thiuk that by the time
the convention meets on the eth Of
July this fact will become so manifest
that the party will be obliged to turn to
Mr.. Tilden and oblige him to become
the candidate.
