ST. CLOUD, Mimi, April 15.-This city has been
visited with calamity, the ghastly details of
which have never been equaled since the harvest
of death at New Ulman aud Rochester, a few
years ago. and the community is under pail of
grief that is intensified as each hour brings to
light fresh evidence of the terrible work of the ee
ments. A few minutes after 4 O'Clock Wednes
day afternoon, the skies became overcast with
dark clouds and great black mass arose over
the hills southwest of the city, coming with Ter
rible velocity toward the western outskirts in
direct line for the Manitoba freight yards. The
clouds hung low and rolled over and over like
smoke over battlefield and was accompanied
by loud roaring and cracking sound that re-
Sembled that of confederation in its fury

The cruise of the New York Yacht Club squadron has determined, among other things, that the honor of racing with the Galatea must fall either to the Puritan or the MayAower. The MayAower has been the victor oftener than the Puritan this season, but it remains to be seen which of the two yachts can go better in a 'sthrash" to windward in a heavy sea. Opinion fa- yors the Mayfower, but the trial races which occur the last of this month alone will settle that question. Then comes the contest with the British Galatea on the 7th, 9th and 11th of September. .4.a., sa

If there is anything that anuoys the

Rock Island as every where else. aud
ought to be stopped. The Rockford peo-
pie have sat down" on it and Rock Isl
aud should do the same. The following
from the Rockford Gazette shows how a
whistler was handled in that town:
The opera house management had de.
termined to put an end to the whistling
and cat>Calls which the occupants of the
gallery have been in the habit of indug
ing in. Last evening Charles Small was
arrested for whistliHg, and was brought
before Justice Morrison in the police
court this morning. He plead guilty to the
charge of disOrderly conduct, and the JUS
tice gave him quite a lecture, saying that
if he followed the dictates of his own
feelings the fine for the Oifense would be
800, as he had been seated in the bal
cony and been obliged to listen to the
hoodlnms behind him in the gallery.
81 only whistled once and | will never
do it again begged the prisoner.
Seeing you promise to faithfully keep
your word. your fine will be for this &C
casion 81 80, and the revolver which the
police found upon you will be confiscated
for the benefit of the police force" This
is the third disturbcr of the peace of the
