ANOTHER WIND STORM.
On the Fiftieth Anniversary of the
Battle of Manassas It Came.

Perhaps the weirdest, most awe
inspiring thunder storm that ever
touched these parts swept over the
Palisades on the morning of the 21st
of July It came out of the west
about o'clock, from a dark, over
hanging mass of heavy gray clouds
that covered all the sky. Suddenly,
and literally without warning, there
was a quickly-preading pail which
covered the skies, and in a tWinkling,
almost before anyone could think of
what was happening, the atmosphere
was of inky blackness. There was a
weird look to everything, as though a
smothering was going on of all-per-
vading vapor that made the beholder
wonder at the mikhty forces of nature
at work on the instant, and portend-
ing some powerful upheaval that
meant disaster. People had to turn
on the light to dress by, and then
away over to the west there rose that
deep comber of the sky from out of
whose cavernous depths an Onrushlng
wind appeared to be coming to level
trees and unroof houses But there
was really less wind than the clouds
indicated. Timid ones conjured up
volumes of woe in the storms aspect,
for it was terrifying to look upon.
With a resounding crash of thunder
and binding flash Of lightning the
storm came pouring down a torrent
of rain, and for period of five min
utes it fell thick as an impenetrable
fog, the drops as big as marbles and
the roar that Of cataract Fast the
lightning flashed, the thunder roared
and rolled, and in another five-minute
eriod the reverberat1ng echoes went
resounding over the Hudson toward
the city and Long Island.
There was no damage done, but the
streets were flooded badly at the in
tersection Of Bluff and Cumbermede
roads and many other places over
town.
'Well," said a well-known student
of the weather, that was the worst
thing to look at while it lasted | have
ever yet beheld. 1t was as lucky for
us as it was terrible to behold"
An hour following this storm there
was another rain, and considerable
lightning and thunder Following one
particularly binding flash there burst
forth from the throat of the heavens
one of the most startling peals of
thunder any man ever heard, and diff
ferent, perhaps, from any that ever
sought the ear of human. A noise
like the firing of ten thousand twelve
inch guns in the distance roared out
its defiant echoes till there seemed no
end to its vollies 1t must have lasted
ten or more seconds and sounded as
though whole city had toppled over
4 /
seconds was still falling with roar
that was nerve-wracking in its grand
eur and power. 1t was one of the
most prolonged and maddening thun-
der eruptions that ever appalled, mans
reason, for its depth and volume and
hanging on were truly unearthly.

FINE FRUIT GARDEN
Herr w. ]. Foeppel Has Many Fine
Varieties on Very Small Area.

Just to show the economies that
may be practiced on a small plot of
ground Mr.. w. J. Foeppel, of Dear
born road, Palisade, has planted
section of his residence lot in a va
riety of fruits and vegetables that
make it veritable fruit farm. The
farm" is only 40 by 100 feet, yet it
contains the following different fruits
and vegetables:
Two apricots, half a dozen apple
trees, seven or eight pear trees, half
dozen peach trees, several oxheart
cherries, sour cherry trees, the OK
heart cherries being the large yellow
and pink varieties.
Besides these there are forty grape
vines, fifty blackberry bushes, rasp-
berries, red and black, gooseberries,
currants, and one thousand straw
berry vines All of these fruits and
berries are bearing, the apricots be-
ing especially luscious and finely fla
vored The cherry trees are half as
tall as the house, while the blackber-
besides dividing with many of his
neighbors.
In the vegetable line Mr.. Foeppel
dlSCS CHOuSH IOI MS own llIlIII6Qldl6
family-peas, beans, radishes, sweet
corn, tomatoes, soup greens, cucum-
bers, rhubarb, horseradish, etc
Another feature of the Foeppel
place is his game preserve, there be-
ing a number of molly cottontails
that have their homes there, and a
breeding of little mollies takes place
about every two months. There are
at present half a dozen little ones
picking around the cabbage plants,
their favorite food always.
The above narration of small farm
ing does not include all of the Foep-
pei possessions. The entire premises
is $50 by 100 and there is, also,
splendid lawn, many fine spruce and
pine trees, flowers, and much fine
rhubbery. While the garden is bit
crowded, the other garden has ample
ROOM and the entire place is regarded
as one of the finest in town.
