One of the most terrific cyclones passed through portions of Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska, that has taken piece in this country for many years, on Sunday last. It spread devasta tion on all sides, and upward of sixty lives were lost. TJio storm was of short but terrible duration. Quite a cumber from this place attended the Free Methodist .Bush Meeting at' Hickory, last Sunday. Mention was made of tho camp meet ing which ia to coramonce here on the 9th of July, and an invitation was ex tended to other denominations to be present uud erjoy tho benefits of the meeting. It is reported that a big well has been struck near Neiltown, this county, by Dr. &hamburg(-of Shamburg fame. Whether the report is founded upon facts we 'are unable to ascertain. The Titusville Herald sent a reporter to that plpce to learn, if possible, tho truth of the rumor, but ho seems to have been unable to elicit auy definito information from the operators. Should the report prove true we will give our readers tho particulars next week. I Cliarlio Bonner, who wns recently appointed a Borough Auditor, rice Frank Mabic, resigned, received his commission a fow days ago. It was executed in high colors by Curt. Shawkcy, r nd is quite a novelty. The following is a copy of it : Know am. Men and Women, That Ciiaules Bonner, Aged 4 () year, 8 mos. and 17 days, Was appointed Bonouurt Auditor For the year 1879. By the Court Attest. Justis Shawkey, I'rothonotary. May 19, 1879 Whilo tho big sawing was goin' on at the May & Kelly null, last Wednesday, John Swailes met with a little mishap which might have proved extremely serious. He was in tho net of oiling the edzer. when his jacket was caught by ono of tho rollers, which has spikes something iiko inosg on tne cylendar ot a threshing machine In order to save nimseii ne was obligod to hold on to a cross-bar, while the sleeve and part of his jacket wns torn from his body. Had not his clothes torn, John would, in a short time, have made good stuffing for a sausage. Quite a severe accident occurred to Mr. W. C. Wilson, who is 'run nine tho blacksmith shop on Judge Proper's farm, ou Dutch Hill, iast Monday morning. He was shoeiug one of the Judge's oxen, which becoming frao tious, tore loose, aud biasing away at Mr. W., kicked him violently against tho sido of.the building, breaking two of his ribs. He suffered severely until Dr. Blaine arrived and relieved his pain. He is doing very well now. A man named Samuel Howe, and over 80 years of age, was brutally murdered near Tionecr, on Oil Creek, Monday morning. He had gone out into the field to salt some sheep and horses, and not returning iu duo time search was in ado and his mutilated ooriy louna. a pistol wound was n i .... . ioiun in tne rmcu oi his head, and a largo stone and club, covered with blood were Iving near him. The assassin is yet at large. Geo. Huuter one day last week put a "potato, as he cal.cd it, into the well near the depot, and has since pumped considerable oil out of it. He has a rig fixed for pumpiDg, which we will not attompt to describe, but which is run with a sort of pendulnm, swing ing backward and forward, aud with a slight agitation is kept in motion. It works quite well, but makes a very ugly noise. 1 he Independent Press of Franklin came to band last week wouderfully enlarged and improved. The Press is now the largeft paper in this section, and under the editorial charge of Mr. J. J. McLauren is meeting with great success. It is always cramed full and overflowing with news. Tho very best wish we can bestow upon the Press is that it may prosper as it deserves. Several new sidewalks are notice able in town. Those about the public grounds are receiving the attention of the County Commissioners; the walks leading from the Jtreet to and around the Court House have been, torn up and replaced by substantial new ones. Tho leu day's notice has already expired, and if our citizens don't want au additional 20 per cent, to pay they had better bestir themselves. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Cobb arrived in town on Mouday, from Texarkana, Arkansas, where they have been stop ping for several months. Mr. Cobb, is looking unusually well, tho climate seemingly having agreed with him. He speaks in glowing terms of that section of country. We did not learn whether or not they intend to again take up their abode in Tionesta. Tiro subjects now languish in jail.

As wo incotioned lait week, the l)iT day's sawing took place at Messrs. May tv; Kelly s mill, better kuown as the Dith ridge mill, on Wednesday Inst, On Tuesday morning the mill started up at 0 e'clock, and after runninir 2 hours and 40 minutes, in which time 13,472 f'ct wcro sawed, a piece of packing blew from under the safty valve and they wero obliged to shut down. On Wednesday morning they started up again at C o'clock, with 95 pounds of steam at tho boiler, tho engine running loo revolutions per minute, and the saw 825. The filing was done on tho arbor, and only one saw was used. The logs were pine and scaled from 100 to COO feet, aud tho lumber cut was about as follows : 1,500 ft. inch and-p.-half plank 10 ft; 500 ft. 2 inch plank 18 ft ; 1,000 ft. 2-inch plank 20 ft; tho balance were inch ooaras 10 it. ihe lumccr was run a distance of 200 yard", assorted and piled; tho sltfbs were cut into 4 ft lengths, run about 100 yards and piled ; the edgings were run about 125 yards and burnt. We have a complete scoro of the entire day's sawing, but our lack of space prevents us from publishing it The running time on Tuesdav was 2 hours and 40 minutes, feet; on Wednesday it was 10 hours and 30 minutes, in which 46,352 feet were sawed. This makes a gPand total of 59,824 feet in 13 hours and 10 minutes. . The head-6awiug was done by that old veteran Mike Criswll , the re mainder of the crew consists of the following gentlemen : Setter, W. E. Morgan; Firemen, John Noble, Edger, James Pease; Tail-sawyer, John Hood ; Tail-edger, A. II. Darrah ; Slasher, Nathan McKay ; Log-jacker, Sam. P. Wilson ; Board runner, S. J. Campbell ; Board-piler, W. A. Pollock; Slab-runner, Jerry Black; Feul finder, Dan. Black; Night watchman, John Jones. Tne extra help on Wednesday was Jonts Luther, John Swailes, and ' A. W. Stroup; Mr. P. M. Clark did the meusuring of the lumber. Tbe mill is Superintended by Mr. Wra. Richards. We had the satisfaction of watchius tho sawing for a couple of hours during the afternoon, and must say that every thing worked remarkably smooth, and while all tho men wero kept busy, none of them seemed to be at all overworked. This is no doubt the fastest sawing that has every been uone in this section of country, at least if it has ever been equaled we aro unable to learn where it was done. We understand that Messrs. Ford & Lacy, at their Galenza Mills are pre ijuiiu iui u ui" uy a euiiiirM. fer a big day s saMn'and when they get through wi'.h it wo hope they will give us the figures They have an excellent mill, and will no doubt, make a big run. Billy did the square thing by the boys iu the evening, having set out a 'quarter, to wTnch they .did ample justice, and a general ' high time , was had. From a Whig Hill correspon dence, which arrived too late for last week, we select the following items: Farmers have mostly finished up their spring work and in consequence feel happy. Corn is all planted, and the potato groweth, while the potato bug sitteth ou the fence and smileth at the prospect of an early death. Mr. Ed. Gillespie drives the boss team, and all who think they hare teams that can out-draw him had better ask the neighbors of the "make up of his team before they stake their "resumption" in a wager. Prof. R. Z. Gillespio will wield the "hickory" in tho German Hill school the coming term. Rob. is a first class teacher, understands his business, and the German Ilillites aro fortunate in securing hi service. The Whig Hill Sabbath School is one of tho largest if not the largest iu the county. Much interest is taken in the school by old young, and I, for my part, never saw mo re interest taken in any school than is taken in this one. A class in German is taught by Mr. Jacob Beck. Monday next wo suppose the small rtooys aud email girls will wend their nay toward the old familiar school house, very noxious to see what the new school ma'am looks like, aud see whether she looks cross. As male teachers are not worth writing about wo have no comments to mako about their looks or "cross actions." Ncw'own Milb. Newtown Pa., Juno 2, '79. Wo aro all alive and kicking, and every Saturday's mail is watched for with interest, knowing that it will con tain the Ri:runur;AN, which U sought after and road with avidity. We have plenty of work hero this spring. The mills are running iu full blast, and aro doing some very good work. Tho lath mill did somo very lively running this week. It is a self-feeding mill, with one saw, nnd it cut one hundred thousand lath in less than six days. We consider this fast work, and if it is beaten by any of tba lath milh in tho country, we would like to hear of it. An Observer. Letter from Dakota Territory. Grandin Farm, D. T. May 23, '79. Dear Editor : Inasmuch as you have said "let us hear from you," I have concluded to do as you wish, although it is a difficult thing to describe tho many beauties and advantages of this country without making my letter too long. However, I will try it. From Chicago to St. Paul tho rail road pusses through a region of great fertility and richness, but it is not until ono gei: west offt. Paul that the great wheat lands of Aruerjca are spread out before his gaze. Taking the 7:30 train, in tho morning, from St. Paul, on the Northern Pacific R. R., we have a chance to see some of the grandest prairie land in the U. S. On both sides of the railroad the land is dotted with farm houses, nnd the young wheat can bo seen waving in the breeze for miles in each direction. After a most pleasant day's ride the town of Moorhead is reached at eight p. m. This charming little village has a bright future in store for it, and has already become a place of consid erable importance, a flour mill, a grain elevator of 100,000 bushels capacity, 4 churches, a high school, three hotels numbered among its buildings. After a ten minute's stop the trains crosses the Red River of the North aud we are in Fargo, the "Key City of the Great Northwest," and Dakota Terri tory. As the day train goes no further, we are obliged to stay all night at the Headquaiters Hotel, which constitutes the depot. Seven years ago, where Fargo now stands, tho only buildings to be seen were a couple of rude huts; since then a thriving and busy town has sprung into existence, nnd with rapid strides is pressing on to the glorious destiuy whicli awatts it. Already it has a mayor and city gov ernment, and has long been considered the key city of the vast wheat country which surrounds it. The car shops of the Northern Pacific R.. R., aro sit uated at this point, which is the east ern terminus of the Dakota division. This railroad being the most direct route to the Black Hills and Yellow stone country has a largo passeuger trafie, which as summer advances in creases daily. Several cars have boon added to each train to accommodate the increasing emigration, and two new and elegant sleepers have just been added to the number already in use. Ihe hotels at this place aro overrun with travelers and guest?, and cannot accomodate all tha't apply for quarters. The rush at the IT. S. Land office this year has been unprecedented 100,000 acres of land having been taken up tho first day the office was open. In order to get into tho cflico I was obliged to take my place ia the line aud await my turn, and as only six persons were allowed to cuter at once, it took u long time to do my business. After staying several days in Fargo I came down here to take a look at the celebrated Grandin Farm. The magnitude of this establishment cannot bo comprehended until seen, and then only by caraful examination. Why some of your old farmers, who think themselves well oil" if they have cleaied a hundred acres of hilly and 6tony ground, would not be able to leavo off looking at tho grand fields of wheat w hich extend for miles in all directions in this vicinity! and this land is so easily attained ! The very poorest laborer on the farm, who, perhaps gets only SI 2 per month izaztui u Ha 0 vJ a n7r Always tho Best.

Day after day cloth-covered wagons (Prairi(T.Schooner) pas by tlio farm in largo number', containing tho worldly possesions of llio?o who havo risked their all to come out here to lako up land and settle. This year tho Grandin Bros, and Dalrymplo havo G,000 acres in wheat, nnd break an additional 2,000 acres annually. There are three sets of buildings; No's. 1, 2, end 3. At No. 1 tho buildings consist of an office, (bed mill, blacksmith shop, two dwellings, a large grapery, a largo boarding house lor tho men with cook house for samr, carpenter shop, harness shop, nn immense barn nnd aheds, hit ico house, dog house, a grain elevator, pig pens, water tank, and two wind mill for pumping water from tbe Had River lo the buildiugs, making in all quite a settlement. A. nice new house u about completed for tho v?z of Mr. J. L. Grandin and family, who arrived from Tidioutc on tho 21st inst., and intend to stay until November. The outlook for the crops is splendid, the recent rains having dnns wonders for it. J. R. Hague and W. II. S. Brady and myself havo ciA got 100 acres ad joining, nnd expect to havo more era long. Everybody who romes to this country seems to get along well, and those who do nut, belong to that class who never get along well anywhere. From Fargo to Bismark tho country has been settled along the lino of tho railroad, but a liltlo back from it thcro is plenty of beautiful land which can bo had for the asking. I regret that I did not come out soouer, as moro money can be made hero iu one year than in two in the oil regions. If tho crops "pan out" this fall, as anticipa ted, tho rush for land will bo tremen dous, so now is the golden opportunity for young men to secure for them selves a good farm and a snug compe tence. In conclu? ion, Mr. Editor let mo thank 3ou for tho copies of your es teemed paper which you so kindly sent me, and I assure you they havo been read with interest by myself and othci'3.
