A Tornado in Ohio.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 25.-A Find.
lay (Ohio) special says news Of tore
nado that passed over Bellmore, .
small town northeast of this city in
Putnam country, has just reached here.
The heavens suddenly became dark
and there came terrific storm cloud,
funnel-shapsd, tearing up trees by The
roots, blowing down small buildings
and destroying everything in its path.
A protracted meeting was being held
in the Methodist church when the
storm came on. The steepIe was blown
down and the roof carried of. The
congregation was pAnic~stricken, but
fortunately no one was killed, though
many received bruises and cuts which
may yet prove fatal. The damage
done by the cyclone will amount TO
many thousand dollars.

them down, as popular feeling Is SO

lie Holds tho Fence.

Several weeks ago Detroiter pur-
chased piece Of land in the west end OF
the county. After the purchase had
been completed he engaged surveyors
services to see if he had been cheated.
The discovery was made that l'nc-fence
was over on hs land eight inches. When
he went to the owner of the adjoining
property with the statement the man re.
piled:
stranger the row about that fence
began twcnty-cight years ago. 1t was
then five feet over the line, and the two
men fit and fit unit one was killed and
the other crippled After while it was
moved foot, and then the other owners
fit and fit until the lawyers got the two
farms. The fence was then moved an
other foot and the two new owners spent
half the year III jawing each other and
the other half in lawing. One died and
the other got sold out on a mortgage, and
when | got this farm the fence was moved
over another foot. Then l fit and fit,
and two years ago was kicked in the ribs
and laid up for three months. During
that time the fence was moved to the
present line. So it's still on your landr

"Wcll, Is'posc the proper thing is a
row. If you'll go out by the barn with
your revolver I'll come out and hunt for
you with the shotgun. If you git the
drop on me don't let go, because l shall
shoot to kill"
1t took the Dctroiter some time to con-
vince the farmer that he didn't care for
eight inches of land, and that he wouldn't
have the fence moved for fifty dollars,
and when he had succeeded the old man
drew long breath of relief and replied:
"That's kind o. you, ald it leaves my
boys a chance to fit and fit after I'm
gone. hope you aint comm out here

that day, thing quite unusual, but on

The farms of America equal the entire

France, Belgium, Germany, Austria,
Hungary and Portugal. The corn fields
equal the extent of England, Scotland
and Belgium; while the grain fields gen

while the people Of Great Britain, though
