Last Friday evening and Saturday
morning a terrific storm swept over
this village doing much damage to
frail orchards and ornamental trees.
Great trees one foot in diameter were
snapped off ike pipe stems and apple
trees furnished no resistance what
ever to this gale Many small build
ings and a large barn on David East
mans farm were completely demol-
ished. A tobacco she'd on the farm
formerly owned by o. Thomas is a
total wreck, in which some Young
stock was killed. At the residence
Of Frank Goald two large plate glass
were broken in and many garments
and articles Of furniture were blown
from the house and have not vet been
found. In many dwellings the win
dows was smashed in by flying boards
and limbs of trees. Beneath that
sturdy old cotton wood that has stood
the storms and electric disturbances
for nearly century is piled up a cord
or two Of broken branches and the
grand old land mark, without which
main street would be bare and desc
late, is a total wreck of what it was
the day before. The tremendous
electric storms and the torrents Of
rain and hail made this much the
most dangerous storm of the season.

There are many seeming trifes in
this world which one is apt to over
look on account of their apparent I'M
importance, the neglect of which has
DluDopd fbousoDbs into tho Joo,. -, -
and sunk their characters into mex
tricable degradation. Among these
otensible tribes, that of neglecting to
pay ones honest debts is the most
common, and attended with the worst
consequences. One debt usually be
gets another / have always observed
that he whe owes man a dollar is
almost sure to owe him a grudge; and
he is always more ready to pay COM
pound interest on the latter than on
the former. One is to art to say, I'll
pay tomorrow, which never comes,
but is visionary receptacle far I'M
redeemed promises; an added egg in
the great nest of the future; the deb
tors hope and the creditors curse.
