Mr.. Kslley's wish be gratifed, few of the

THE TORNADO.

Great Loss Of Life and Property in Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday last cyclone from the North
west swept over the Allegheny Valley of Penn
sylvania causing great loss of life and property
in the cities of Pittsburg aud Reading.
In the former city some % persons were
killed, six missing and large number seri-
ously injured, three of whom are likely to die,
while Reading suffered loss of Is killed
and five unfortunates were burned to death
by the paint shop of the railroad company tax
ing fire after being blown down, while the in
jured number hundreds.
Great injury was done to property ali over
the Valley, especially in the cities above named
hundreds of houses being blown down and
otherwise damaged, the loss amounting to mil
lions of dollars
Such tornado has never before been seen OF
known in this part of the country and it ex-
tended into New York, Buffalo getting gen.
eral shaking up, while the ships in the har-
Dor at that place were in many instances dragged
from their moorings and badly injured.
The suffering caused by the cyclone was very
great, but active steps have been taken in Penn
sylvania to relieve it, large sums of money
having been contributed by citizens through
out the State, while New York city, with its
proverbial generosity, has raised a handsome
sum for the relief of the sufferers.

Gsnernns Veterans

On Dec. % there was packed and sent from
the Soldiers Home, LeavenwOrth, Kan, to the
Soldiers Orphan Asylum at Atchison, in the
same State, enough Christmas goods to fill a
country store. And who sent them? The
members of the Home, the old veterans, whose
hearts in this blessed season of heart-warming
went out to the orphans of their comrades in
the Atchison Asylum, who from their slender
means contributed the generous sum of S144
for the purpose Every dollar came from
the pockets of these old veterans whose
dollars are nearly as few as angels visits
This money bought music-boxes books, pict-
ures and trinkets of all sorts which so glad
den the hearts of children, and particularly OF
those children IN whose lives such joys are few
and far between. What touching thing it is
to see the living veterans remembering the
orphans of their dead comrades, whom they
never knew, but who are comrades because
they fought under the same flag to save com.
mon country. All honor to the generous and
kindhearted veterans at the Home for this
beautiful self-denial. Their comrades all over
the land salute them

in the same scrawling hand to Lieut.. Scarlet

evidently been carried aud delivered by a spe-
cial messenge probably a negro. l saw it all
at a glance The likeness of the envelopes had
deceived Bradford. His correspondent, Ed
Jaffray, was a small-fry guerrilla, who had
given as much trouble by cutting the telegraph,
annoying the courier-line, and prosecuting
Union men. 1t was very desirable that he be

FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED.
l. The temperature of the air is measured by
means of the thermometer, and is the most i'm
portant meteorological phenomenon.
2. Observations of the thermometer have
been recorded in the United States since 1885,
in France since 1870, in England since 1861
and in Italy since 1864; but the thermometers
employed, as we'll as the methods of exposure,
have been so various that ii is only by careful
study of the history of the thermometer that
the older records can be rightly used in dis
cussing questions as to secular changes in
climate.

Our Viola correspondent makes q
pleasing suggestion In proposing the
name of Miss Ella NJ. Stearns of this
city as a candidate for the nomination
for superintendent of schools. Iowa,
standing high among sister states in
the point Of intelligence, has had some
very satisfactory experience with lady
superintendent. Mary A. Tate is SUI
perintendent In Washington county,
Ella S. Brown in Wright, Carrie Byrne
in Plymouth, Jnlia A. Iloadley in De-
catur and Mamie Torrance in Ke0kuk,
so far as the reports show their work is
in every way satisfactory. Miss Stearns
has superior qualifications for the office.
Her education has been thorough and
complete and has been supplemented
by yaaps OF valuable experience in the
school room, where her efforts have
been exceedingly successful. She has
the necessary physical strength and
is in every way qualified. We do not
know that the lady would accept the
nomination if rendered, nor do we know
that tho convention WIZ 80 beyond an,
nounced candidates for its choice, but
in experimenting the suggestion of ON
Viola correspondent we take occasion
to state that the lady would make az
excellent official and do as much for th'
cause of education in tho county rs
could possibly be done ~ anyone.
