by the fluid, while pa inches of water
fell in the course of two hours. The
storm of the 26th assumed a cyclonic
character and destroyed 8 house north

absence of the migratory locust or

ring the season OF their migration be-
ing unfavorsbIe to their progress in
this direction, which combined with
an excess of rain fall AT that time, con-

and pushed his business. The first
seaso he sold $50. 900 worth of goods,
$4,000 of them semi to Kansas and

for the season were $4,000. When
we add that the chief products he
canned were tomatoes and sweet corn,
