One ot the ereaiest "blows'" within
the recollection of any person in the
community passed over this place last
Friday nipht ami Satunlav. t ui5 a
regular "North Easter", whirling in all
directions. The night was extremely
dark and stormv, and trie rattle and
clatter and cracking and rocking and
shaking of buildings sent consternation
to almost every heart which was
sheltered from the threatening and
turbulent elements that roared and
tore t'.umiltuoiisly without. Few, if
any slept any at all before midnight,
and many were up a'l night in con
slant expectation of meeting total
wrecked habitations before morning.
Ornamental and fri.it trees were brok
en and blown down in large numbers
hile a complete wreck marked the
course of the storm among the fences.
Many small buildings and sheds were
complete wrecks, while many larger
buildings bams in particular, were
either wholly or partially unroofed.
Some few old people were terribly
frightened ; their nervous system giv
ing way. Upon the whole I rather
enjoyed the great tumult, notwith
standing the fact the banging of doors
and other objects at and about the
outbuildings warned me of the fact
all was not well without. But in the
intense darkness it was impossible to
look after anything as a light or lan
tern could not live to give light to
make secure or fasten anything that
might be saved from wreck. But it
as also possible that a person might
w picked up and carried by the force
of the storm or struck by flyirg ob
jects and killed, or injured for life, if
he ventured out While it was terri
ble and a terror to those experiencing
the power and effects of the storm, it
as no circumstance to the awful and
majestic solemnity in the brief space
of time intervening the suspense from
the approach of the eye'one a few
years ago and the ravages and de
struction that followed in its track.

Probably the record remains without
a parallel, in periodical sales, of a
number proving so interesting that,
after 211,000 copies had been sold,
the News Company had orders for
50,000 more than they could supply,
while dealers in various parts of the
country, discovering the esteem in
which the magazine was held, imme
diately raised their prices to double,
treble, quadruple and in many cases
to eight times the regular price. The
publishers do not yet know what their
real circulation is, owing to the limited
capacity of their presses; but ma

WRECK OF TENTS.
The storm of last Friday evening
made havoc with the tents upon the
Fair Ground at Bloomsburg. One of
the large show tents was the first to
fall it went down about half past
four in the afternoon ; the managers
went to the next tent, which was their
boarding place, and while at sup
per, it also collapsed, and a heavy
center pole striking the snake
charmer, she became unconscious
and remained in that condition until
Saturday morning. Upon seveial oc
casions through the evening she
was thought to be dead, but she al
ways rallied again, and entirely re
covered from the shock. Two other
show tents were felled to the ground
as if mere. toys. The candy stands
with canvas coverings were all total
wrecks. The large exhibition build
ing would bend and creak with every
force of the wind and even the night
watchmen were forced to remain in it.
When morning dawned there seemed
but little prospect for a fair but as the
sun appeared all went to work and by
the middle of the lorenoon nearly all
the tents were rebuilt and made to
offer their inducements to the numer
ous customers. The storm certainly
kept away thousands of people, but
yet there were fully six thousand peo
ple upon the ground.

being cemented on the outside. The

roomy structure, and is one of the
finest store buildings in the state. It
was the expectation to have every
thing in readiness for the opening on
the 1 1 th inst. but there were many
unforeseen and unavoidable delays, so
that while the store is open, the goods
are nut yet all arranged, but are being
opened and classified as rapidly as
possible. On the IV at lloor, the .dry
goods, groceries, shoes and notions
departments are ready for customers,
and upstairs a large stock of furniture
has been placed. In a few days more
everything will be in complete readi
ness for business in every department,
and meanwhile they will be glad to
serve all customers in such lines as
are now ready. A more complete

Invitations to Olmrch Weddings.
On receipt of an invitation to a
church wedding it is proper to mail,
at any time before the ceremony, visiting-cards,
representing the persons
invited, to the persons issuing the
invitation, whether or not y6u attend
the ceremony, writes Mrs. Hamilton
Mott in an exhaustive article on
"The Etiquette of invitations" in the
October Ladies' Home Journal. If a
reception card is enclosed, a written
acceptance is enclosed or declination
of both invitations should be sent at
least a week before the wedding.
"At Home" cards should be left as
for "Teas," though for evening recep
tions it is not usual to leave cards
a card-case not forming a necessary
part of any evening costume. And
finally it may be that some prompt
acknowledgement should be made to
every form of social invitations, or the
recipient will be guilty of a breach of
etiquette.
Fashionable Livery.
The well known horseman has
opened a fashionable livery in connec
tion with his boarding stable at the
