direction toward the Norwegian
Grove. Its greatest width was about
two miles and the fields over which
the storm extended look like a
wilderness. The hail lasted fully
twenty minutes and was accompani-
ed by very severe wind, which made
the devastation all the more COM
plete. The fields of grain look as
though every straw had been broken
and literally pounded into the ground.
No grain will be cut where the main
path of the storm took it's course. In
some places enough of the corn is
left standing to make it worth culti-
waiting. The grass is also greatly
damaged. In some places about two
feet of ground have been washed
down on the slopes, and deep bitches
are left on the fields. There are be-
tween 6 and 7 sections in the two
towns where not an acre is worth cut
ting. Sections 1, II and II of Berna-
dotte, and 6, 7, 5, s, and part of in
New Sweden are partly or entirely
destroyed. The following farmers
are the heaviest losers: John Sven

passed third reading in the house

Mr.. Crawford, Of Henry Comfy.

house committee on labor.
Senator Ledgerwood has arraya
ed himself against The exalhption
laws. III the debate ii ID senate
last Friday he VIGOROUSLY eclared
himself opposed 81 emption
laws, and said that in IL afty years
of life IL had been his observation
that the exemption laws on the stat
ute books had done more to corrupt
tile people Of Tennessee than any
other one cause. Men in the cities
made a study Of these laws with a
view Of avoiding their obligations
and defeating their creditors. He
had known men to go to more OK
pense than the bill amounted to,
paying lawyers to enable them to
take advantage Of such exemption
laws. When no such laws were on
Tennessee's statute books the State
had been more prosperous, and any
law tending to avoid obligations in
CURED worked a moral wrong,
A food of new bills have been

MRS. BELL POISONED.
Took Corrosive sublimate Tor IIydrato Of
ChloraI--A Narrow Escape


The experience Of Mrs. A. Bell,
who was poisoned last Friday, will
not be forgotten soon by members
Of the family and neighbors. She
had the misfortune to break her
ankle the previous evening, while
returning home from Mr.. and Mrs.
A. J. Saunders. suffering was
intense Friday morning, and hy-
drate Of chloral was sent for to al
leviate the pain. BY a mistake Of
Mr.. Mike Fry, clerk at Rushing's
drugstore, corrosive sublimate was
given, and the life of Mrs. Bell was
saved only through the heroic rem
edies administered by DIR. w. Z.
Hubbs and Dr. w. P. McGin. DR..
Hubbs, who discovered themistake,
accidentally swallowed some of the
poison in testing it, but Immediate
ly applied remedies to counteract
il. Mrs. Bell has been doing as
we'll as could be expected. In JUS
tice to young Mr.. Fry, we make
an explanation as to how he made
this, his first mistake. In the first
place there is no difference, with
one exception, in the abbreviated
technical names used for hydrate
of chloral and corrosive sublimate,
and they are similar in appearance.
Only the day previous corrosive
sublimate was used on the wound
Of his brother, Pet Fry, who cut
his foot with an AK. The conclu-
sion is, the similarity Of the two
cases came into his mind when the
prescription was handed him, and
he intuitively sent corrosive subli-
mate. His grief was unbounded
when he learned of the horrible
mistake made, and he Immediately
resigned his position.

SENATOR HARRIS.

Both houses of the general as
sembly balloted for United States
Senator Tuesday, which resulted in
the choice Of Hon. Isham G. Harris.
Senator Harris reaches his fourth
term in the United States Senate in
robust physical and mental health,
and when he completes ii he will
have been in the Senate twenty-four
years. His denomination is receiv-
ed with much favor in all sections
Of the country, for he is held in the
highest esteem by the entire people
of the nation for personal integrity
in all matters of legislation, and as
the Cincinnati Enquirer says, an
extra year should be thrown in to
make his term a quarter of a CEN
tury The following clipping from
the Post, a very conservative paper
at Washington, will show in a meas
ure his popularity at the National
capital
The mousTenomination of lsham
G. Harris, of Tennessee, for the United
States Senate 10y the Democratic Joint
eaucus of the general assembly is q com
pliment that must be especially crafty
ing to the distinguished recipient as the
fourth of the same character that has
been bestowed upon him, and is no less
pleasurable to the many friends here and
elsewhere whom the Senator has made
during his long public career. Mr.. Har-
ris was a member Of the State general
assembly of Tennessee nearly fifty years
ago. He was twice member of the
Lower House of Congress, serving from
1849 to 1853. Hewas three times elected
to the governorship Of his State before
the war, and during the late unpleasant-
ness he gave his military service TO the
Confederacy returning to the practice
Of the law soon after its close He took
hissea in the United States Senate on
the 9Th Of March, 1877, ard his. subse-
quent record belongs to our latter histo-
ny. 1t is the record Of busy and useful
legislator always careful Of the interests
intrusted to his keeping, and il is need
less to say of him that he occupies a high
place in the esteem Of the people Of
Washington. because of his fidelity to
their needs as chairman of the Senate
District Committee. He is also chair
man OF the select committee on the
Ford's Theater disaster, and very SER
viceable member of the Committees on
Corporations in the District, Finance,
immigration, Rules, and Epidemic Dis
eases.
