Damage Wrought by Vista

As bad as Bullets.

The following account OF the damage
wrought by the hail storm in the
vicinity Of Fort Custer about ten days
ago, was given to the Sheridan Enter.
prise by a freighter:
He was loaded with grain for the
government and was driving upon
the scales at Fort Custer to have them
weighed when the storm came up.
The hail stones were so large and hit
horses with SO much force AS to make
them become unmanagesbie, and in
attempting 10 unhook them Mr..
White was knocked down by the hail.
Recovering in few seconds, he hur-
ried to the leaders, determined to hold
them at all hazards, but in spite of
all he could do the team turned,
crushed one of The front wheels and
turned two of the wagons over. Had
it not been foI the protection furnished
by the leaders neck, under which he
managed to keep his head, he would
certainly have been seriously crippled,
as il was his hands and arms are one
mass OF scars.
The storm lasted only about fifteen
minutes, but during that time great
deal ofdamage was done. An old squsw

Of snowy lace foam TO white coral cliffs
there is no surface water. This, where
single days rain fall has been known to
measure ten inches, seems curious; but
the same porous rock that coral insects
built for Barbadians 10 live upon takes
care of that. The water finds its way
down 100 feet or more until il reaches re-
sisting material, and then, in darkness
and unseen. returns 10 the sea. There
it makes itself known by springs
that are occasionally Of sufficient size TO
temper perceptbly the salt water around,
and even to become visible through the
latter, as they spout up through white
sand nj the bottom; and bathers In this
pleasant mixture can feel what seems TO
be some living thing lifting and crawling
beneath their feet, a sensation more
startling than cheerful, where one is not
quite certain what strange manner OF
creature may turn up at any minute.
These subterranean streams are occa-
sionaIly found in caves that tireless teeth
of wind and wave have gnawed deep
into the bowels Of the land. In one
cavern named ''Cole's" quite a river has
been found, whose exit is unknown,
whose source is unguessed-that flows
quietly on through a great distance in
darkness to the sea.-D. William +.
