The Damage BY sunday storm.

A special from La Crosse sa ys;-Ihe storm
of Sunday struck the Southern Minnesota
road at Ramsey, Travelled along the road TO
Lanesboro, then sontherly across Caiedo-
MIA, New Albin, Iowa, Victory, Wis, and
thence into the state, expanding its force.
The damage to crops is less than expected.
Some fields look as though newly narrowed,
not a green spear being visible. In Others
grain is beaten down, but will recover. All
fruit is destroyed, No loss of life or stock
is reported. Three cars Of glass were or
dered by telegraph in towns from
Alden to Lansboro. At New Aibln "a
two-story frame school house, costing
81 900, was demolished, an elevator was
piled in a wreck across the railroad track,
seven residences were totally wrecked,
twenty unroofed and many others moved
from DETERMINATIONS. -Four children were
severely injured but no deaths occurred.
The wind was SO furious as to drive boards
completely through the walls as though
fired from a cannon. At Victory, small
town in Vernon county, Wis, the storm
lasted thirty minutes, during which time it
was as dark as night, except for binding
flashes OF lightning. Buildings were ruined
and shade trees two feet in diameter torn up
by the roots Not a house in the village
wholly escaped damage, while all the harges
and boats along the river were wrecked and
sunk, The prinCipallosers are: &C. Clark,

shortage does not exceed 5 per rent. and
may not reach that figure. The decrease is
widely distributed. Ia the Northcr portion
