TERRIFFIC CYCLONE
Wrecks Buildings, Barns and Or.
charsls.


On Wednesday, Feb. 4th, one of the
most destructive cyclones ever known
I'm this section of the country swept
through a narrow belt about two
miles south of this place. just
where it first started is unknown 70
the writer, but it came with all the
terrific force of the genuine western
article. 1t happened at about 7:3O
a. m., aud in a very few moments
was over, leaving trail of broken
and twisted trees, houses, fodder
stacks and debris of every descrip-
ton IN its wake. Yesterday l Wis
tied the scene at the point where
the most damage was done. The home
OF Ned Bryant, deaf mute, is al
most complete wreck. Both chin
neys were blown down and the kitch-
en- completely demolished. A barn,
stable, chicken house, buggy shed
and several other small buildings
were crushed and carried (parts of
then) to distance of fully 300
yards. The dwelling remains, but
was badly SCARED. An orchard of
ABOUT 70 trees was ruined. Two
gnarled old cherry trees, about two
feet In diameter, which had wealth
cred the storms of a century. lie
broken and PROSTATE on the ground.
The storm then swept across the
field to the adjoining farm, belong
ing to John Il. Lewis. Here stood q
small house, about 12x14 feet, in
which was stored some fodder. etc
Although it was sound and heavily
built it was completely turned over,
crushed like an egg shell aud parts
OF 1T blown quarter of mile
away.
Sleepers, measuring inches in
diameter. were blown over a hun
dred yards away, and fodder was
found hanging In the tops of some
small pines over $50 yards from the
house. AS if by miracle Mr..
Lewis dwelling and out-houses were
unframed, although the cyclone
passed within $50 yards of them
1t then passed on in northeasterly
direction, spreading havoc through
the forest until it reached Bishop
Hayden's. There the kitchen, which
Is small frame structure adjoining
the main dwelling, was turned partly
around and twisted out of shane.
Two children were in it at the
time. Mr.. Hayden ran to their aid i,
and finding the door jammed,
promptly seized an axe and bursted

barely missing the now thoroughly
frightened children.
After passing this point | have
heard of no further serious damage
beyond the blowing down of trees
and fences, the storm seeming to
have spent its fury here. The
amount of damage is hard to esti-
mate, but will certainly amount to
hundreds of dollars. Numerous con-
tributions have been received from
different places for Mr.. Bryant, who
is the worst sufferer, and, besides.
very poor man as well as deaf and
dumb.
Numbers of people visited the
scene of destruction Yesterday and
can testify to the absolute truth of
1t. 1t was, perhaps, the most ter
rihc storm ever known in the North
ern Neck. J.E. L.

to suffering and diseased men and women his

conviction and positive knowledge that il had

thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women OF our country fully sustain the claims
made by DIR. Phelps regarding bis incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One OF the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion Of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown. OF

SAVE THE YOUNG SEED.

"A 'tsisot W tne great COai-neluS Oh
Pennsylvania will be struck by sight
of the vast culm piles which loom
up at every coal breaker. They are
the refuse slate and scraps of coal
that are run from the breakers by
cars, and form vast waste dumps.
Their presence is becoming a serious
question, very much like our saw
dust piles at great mills. In winter
the tramp snugly sleeps at their
base, for nearly all of the piles have
some portion that is a smouldering
mass (no smoke, but a slow and in
tense glow, ignited by combustion.
In the day they are scenes of busy
pickers, boys and girls sorting out
the minute particles of coal, for
which they find a ready market. In
this way many dollars are put in the
pockets of the poor-dollars that
would not otherwise be procured
and material resource uncovered.
Looking over the big piles of oys-
ter shells that loom up at every point
on the Rappahannock where the
shucking business is engaged in
they seem to afford parallel case to
that of the culm piles-so far as a
certain waste is concerned. Many
bushels of young oysters, attached to
the shells, are dumped on these piles
to die. BY the time the shells are
planted there is not a vestige of life
in ally of the young spat. 1t does
seem wanton waste in this case, but
how to avoid it without great ex-
pense has not yet been discovered.
Or at least none of the packers have
taken time to consider the ques-
ton. Like the refuse coal in the
eyes of the operators, it is a very
small item, indeed.
1t seems to us that in the case of
the oyster the waste is more deplora-
bic than in the coal. This young
seed, if thrown overheard, would in
two years net three hundred fold, at
the lowest. Knowing this, would it
not be worth the while of the own
ers to consider how it might be
saved? There is way-the way of
the culm-pickers. The only obstacle is
in getting the boys and girls to pick
the piles over. Emulation of the thrift
of the miners children would not
be unworthy of our youth. While
we have no such poor with us as
have the miners, yet our people are
laboring people and they should not
be 10th to allow their children to
make an honest living. Two or
three children on every shell pile
could sort out and pick up from
three to five bushels each of the
young oysters in a day; these would
be worth Is or 90 cents bushel to
the owners of the pile-and they
would doubtless be glad to pay it.
A triple object would in this way be
achieved-the young seed preserved
and the now diminishing oyster sup
ply increased, profit to the young
that might not otherwise be gained,
and market to the seed buyer, who
is always on the lookout for ''snaps."
Can't some of our energetic but busy
shuckers take little time to con-
slider this thing and make the expert
ment?
