Bermuda grass on the rich bottom

A novel story comes from Van,
derbuing county: A day or two
ago a horse was standing tied to
fence. A drunken man, seeing
no one around on whom to vent
his spleen. deliberately plunged
the blade Of his pocket knife into
the dumb brute's neck. The
horse writhed in agony, broke the
hitching rein, and ran out of the
lot and down the road until it
came to drug store owned by
Jenkins 4 Kyle. The animal
stalked into the store and went as
far back as the pres ,ription case and
set up most pititul neigbing. The
clerk was alarmed, but spoke gent,
ly to the animal, and bathed the
ugly wound in cold water much to
the relief of the brute. Mr.. Kyle
the sewed up the wound and tieG a
band around the animals neck. Mr..
Kyle points out the blood spots
on the floor as proof of his tale,

following account of . cyclone:
Saturday evening, about one
o'clock, a strange phenom"nl was
witnessed in the southern part o.
the town. Mr.. II. c. Harrison
hearing a great noise in the ele-
ments, welt out to see what it was.
Though the sky was clear and the
sun shining in all its spIendor, a
small tunnel>shaped cloud was seen
approaching rom the southwest at
rapid rate, attending with roar
ing like thunder. The VIII ing
body would rise and tall, and occa>
sional reports were heard, describ,
ed as sounding like the explosion
of oil barrels on fire. Tie body
passed between Mr.. Harrison
house and the colored Baptis'
church:crossed the street, then turn
ell in the direction oil the old Still,
we'll place. In crossing a sandy
fiat shaft of sand WIS elevated
high in the air, having the appear
ance of almost a solid pillow. The
body afterwards assumed the app
pearance of fire, and great flaming
tongues emerged from the top IS
from a burning building, emitting
heat for some distance, which wa
felt by those who witnessed the
scene. In passing through a cot
ton patch some leaves were scorchcd
to crisp, and others on the same
stalk unframed. We were shown
one stalk that was wrung almost of,
and the leaves, blooms and forms,
looks almost as dry as they do at.
ter frost. The body passed into a
skirt of pines and disappeared. The
sight was witnessed by several
white and colored-some of whom
say they nev,r want to witness an.
other such scene.

Resources of Arizona.

Taking TO account of agriculture, grazing or mining. Arizona has in her petrified forests of agate, untold wealth. Already has exposed to view enough to supply the world with jewelry and ornaments of finer qualities of this precious stone, cf more beautiful color ing than any heretofore discovered. This agate forest of Arizona is the great wonder of the world.
 Perhaps many million years before Eve seduced Adam into tasting the forbidden fruit, a great forest of oaks, pines and other forest trees stood in Arizona. It stands there yet just the same as it was, bodies, branches and twigs, but in place of existing as wood, 1t has by some ineXplicable freak of nature been turned into stone Work men have been sent there and some Of the logs have been cut into sections and are now on exhibition at Tifany's New York. So hard IS thls agate that the sharpest steel intruments will not even scratch II. Therefore diamond tooth saws and diamond dust IS used, and to saw through one log 1t required thirty-Six days constant work.
 Of course scientists will have no diff culy, at least E will be easy for them to tell us how this strange trans formation took place, but 1t will be hard to believe, because 1t looks like witchcraft on a spree, entertainment on the rampage, or hocus pocus triumph ant, or at least thing that IS beyond the comprehension O; ordinary mortals.
