Will Not Accept.

Americus v. Rice, of Putnam coun
ty, and Hon. w. Fl. Reed, of Ross
have both refused to accept the ap
pointment rendered them by Cover
nor Foraker as members of the boaro
of trustees of the Ohio penitentiary
These gentlemen are too smart to b,
caught with the chaff Republicans are
undertaking to feed them, in view o
Governor Foraker's having made tn,
threat of turning out the present Dem
ecratic officials. The Republicans now
have the management of the peniten
tiary, and they must be answerable t,
the people for the squandering o
money in that institution.

Correspondence.
Last Wednesday evening DIR. Bigsby
of Oxford, England, delivered, in
College Chapel, his popular lecture,
= Tom Arnold at Rugby" Thespeak-
er first gave his audience a delightful
trip through a portion of England,
landing at Rugby, the seat of one of
the six schools of England, where the
| aristOcracy are educated. 1t would be
| impossible to enforce the discipline of
Rugby in republic like ours. Such
schools as he described are the prima-
| ries for the future mOnarchists, who
are to rule with iron hands and wills
Thursday evening he lectured on
"Phiiology," with illustrations on the
black board. The DIR. is very pleas
| ant speaker, passing with ease from
the grave to the gay. from the pathetic
| to the ridiculous. He combines the
| entertaining with the instructive in
| Il remarkable degree. Such lectures
are certainly of tenfold more value
than any amount of trashy lectures
sent by the bureau"
Mrs. J. &. Davis left last week for
England, on visit to lady friend in
that country. She sailed in the steam
ship "Aurania" and will return in
september. And this reminds us to
remark that a young cyclone broke
loose one Friday morning not Ion g
ago, and most viciously attacked J. c..
Davis wind mill. The encounter,
though brief was lively. and the wind
mill was left in very dilapidated con-
dition. The cyclone was discouraged
and done no other damage.

been the cause of several meetings of

which is, to bnild in front of the old

Wind and Rain:
A Terrible Storm Sweeps OveI
Seven Counties in Ohio.

About 10 o'clock Friday night
terrible storm of wind and rain swept
over the State, from Mercer county
where it first crossed the Stata line.
moving in nOrtheasterly direction,
through Auglaise, Hardin, WyandOt,
Hancock and Seneca. The path of
the cyclone was from ene-fOurth to
one-half mile in width, and for a dis
tance of hundred miles the scene is
one of ruin and desolation. 1t is i'm
possible to learn the number of persons
killed and fatally injured, but it will
reach over one hundred. The loss on
buildings, stock and crops is estimated
at $1,000, 900. The daily papers are
full of reports from the scene of destruc-
ton. among which we find the follow
ing, giving a faint idea of the extent of
damage:
CELINA, o. May 15-Last night 8
| fearful tornado swept over the western
part of this county. Hundreds OF
families are left homeless. So far a.
has been ascertained thirty persons
Der of injured has not been estimated.
In some instances persons miracu
lously escaped with their lives, while
every vestiye of their homes was de-
strOyed.
Shortly after IL o'clock the storm
struck the town of Dunkirk, Hardin
county, place of about L, 300 inhabit-
ants. Many buildings were lifted from
their foundations and wreck ed com
pletely, while others were unrOOfed.
The screams of human beings could
be heard above the roar of the ele-
ments. 1t is not yet known how
many were fatally injured, but four
were picked up dead, and Is wounded
have been found.
FINDLAY, o. May 15-The NEST de
structive storm that ever visited this
county commenced last night about
9 o'clock and continued until after
o'clock this morning. Rain poured
down necessarily, doing but little
damage, however. To the south O

struction is at least a quarter of mile
Fences were torn down. fruit trees
taken up by the roots, while barns ant

Similar reports come from score o
more of places along the line of tn
storm, in nearly all of which more o
less loss of life is reported.
