Rev. z. L. Kay, formerly of .his county, writes to the JoURNAL-MINER from Oklahoma, as follows:
 Oklahoma is beautiful land of prairie and timber, dotted all over with small houses, ''dug-o s" and new farms, but many of the people who came here in such haste, little over q year ago, are now nearly ss anxious to get away. The dry weather of sum- mer cut the crop short so that supplies are scarce, times are hard, and some suffering Is apt te result Many fami- lies are going to the States te spend the winter others have lelt permanently, and still more will freeze out or starye out before next spring,

 There were about l5o people present including almost every person living ID the vicinity and many persons from other settlements, some few attended who live st Phenix. The house was teo small to hold the people, and the bride and groom stood on the porch and the people stood in semi-circle in front Of the porch, ia bright sunshine to witness the occasion and hear the iew but appropriate words uttered by Justice Hsnce which made them man and wife. The bride was elegantly dressed in white, and the groom was dressed. in very pretty black suit. Alter the ceremony, which took place at ? o'clock P. m., an elegant wedding din ner was served, and about the time the sun was hid behlnd the Bradshaw mountains dancing commenced and was kept up until it aga in made its ap- pearance from behind Squaw peak, in sn exactly different direction fromi which It disappeared.

STRANGE PHENOMENA.
Freaks of Nature Which Terrified and A.
tonished All Beholders.


At Rome, in 1922, it rained dust, mixed
with blood, for three days, and when the
heavy clouds drifted away 1t looked as
if the sun was swimming in a sea of fire.
Four years later, in 1926, a snow fell in
Syria, which presently melted and
flowed in carmine rivers of blood, or
some fluid much resembling il in every
particular. Many of the old writers
record a three-days' shower of bloOd-red
rain in the island of Rhades and through
out Southern Italy in 1896. A monk,
writing in 1851, tells of loaf being cut
out of which blood flowed as freely as
from fresh wound. In 134S there were
many great tempests. Several towns
and thousands of people were swallowed
up, and the courses of rivers changed or
stopped. Some chasms in the earth sent
forth poisonous fluids, as red as carmine
ink, as at Villach, in Austria. Ponder
Gus hailstones fell in many parts of
Germany the same year, some of them
weighing from twenty to seventy
pounds. At Lamech it rained flesh,
dust, comets and meteors: fire.
brands and corruscations were in the
air; mock suns, with fiery tails, sailed
through the skies. Soon after these
terrible scenes at Lamech it began at
Cataya, near the sea, and went sweep
ing throughout Southern Europe. A.
igneous vapor or sulphurous fire broke
from the earth at Caahery, Asia, and
utterly consumed men, beasts houses
and trees. so injecting the air that a
great plague followed. Young sepents
and millions of venomous insects fell
from the clouds.
In 1861 Burgundy experienced the
| novelty of shower of blood-red rain,
which ensanguined every thing it
touched; and in 1858 the Antiura reap
ers found all wheat heads to be as red
as blood. In 1888 bread put in the oven
at Nuremberg was taken out covered
with bloody sweat. Wertemberg had
| a shower of birthstone and ashes in
1854. In 1896 Limerick and Tipperary,
ireland, had many showers of a soft,
fatty substance resembling butter. 1t
was of dark yellow color and Away
lell at night. The people gathered il
and used it as an ointment, reporting
many astonishing cures.-St. Louis
