As account of the cyclone in Slip peryrock and Cherry townships, from oar Special correspondent in Mercer township, came after the scene had been visited by ns and hence does not appear. We hope, however, be will continue his favors THE Karns City Telephone of this county will this week be removed to Pine Grove, Mercer county, and pub lished there in the future. This, it is said, will make fifteen weeklies publish ed in Mercer county, besides two or three monthlies. Our friend Borland of the Telephone will therefore have plenty of competitors, bnt he has the energy equal to the occasion, and we wish him success. WE had the pleasure the other day of meeting the Rev. John Graham, who was on a visit to bis mother and friends ill this place. He is the only son of the late John Graham, Esq a distinguish ed member of our Bar, who died some years ago and whose memory will be ever green with all vbo knew him Rev. Graham is a member cf the Epif copal minislery aud is now stationed at Haverstraw, on the Hudson river, New York. llis many friends here are always glad to greet him when back at his old home. THE Democrats of this State, in Convention at Harrisburg, on the 28th nit. nominated the following State ticket: For Governor, Rolbert E. Pat tison, of Philadelphia ; Lieut. Gover nor, Chauncy F. Black, of York county; Judge Supreme Court, Silas M. Clark, Indiana county; Secretary Internal Affairs, J. Simpson Africa, of Hunt ingdon county: Congressman-at- Large, Mortimer F. Elliott, of Tioga county. The ticket is regarded as an improvement on many former ones, and tbey seem to have taken great care in selecting it, both as to its per sonal strength and its geographical lo cation. Aif Intelligent gentleman from a neighboring county the other day ex pressed, in a nut shell, the political sit uation in the Republican party of this State at present He said: Don Cameron is bound to go down—is down now in fact, and should be. His ways were in the interest of a few , men in the party, and they third-rate men at that, who he could use for bis own selfish purposes. This debarred the better Republicans in the State from position and prominence, and was a disgrace to Pennsylvania, taking from her that place she was entitled to occupy among her sister States. Put ting Cameron out of the Senate is the only remedy for all this. THE CROPS. In this coanty the crops never look ed better. Wheat is especially good, and much will probably be harvested this week and next. Rye is equally good. Potatoes are very promising, as also the oats. Cora is the only one so far retarded by the weather, but farmers speak confidently for it yet. An un usual amount has been planted, as well 4h of potatoes. Much buckwheat is being sown. The hay crop will be heavy.' DEATH OF HQS. WILSON STcCAXDLEXS- Many bere were grieved to learn of the death of the Hon. Wilam M<-Cand les*, wbich event took place at his residence, Allaquippa, Pittsburgh, on the morning of June 30th ult. in the in the 72nd year of his age. Judge McCandless was no ordinary man. In deed he bad many of the elements of a great man. His personal character and appearance, with bis fine social qualities, made him a gcueral favorite wherever be might be. Here in But ler, where be often visited, bo bad many friends, and for the people of this place, and of this county, be brd a warm attachment. His estimable wife, wbo survives him, is a daughter of the late Sarah Collins, and with her and bis family Judge McCandless de lighted to come here, and particularly to enjoy the company of their old and faithful friend, the late David Dougal Esq. No one ever came in contact With Wilson McCandless without rec ognizing his constant courtesy and bigb sense of honor. He was a gentle man in the best sense of the term. Many bere regret bis loss and bear tri bute to his memory. His surviving partner and family have the sympathy of this community. A NEW CONVENTION. Now that there is, this day, to lie a j meeting of one of the Republican State I Committees, to consider the political situation in the party in this State, we j ljok for something definite to be done. All the committee of the Harrisburg Convention has to do, is to lead in the right direction and we have no doubt it will be met half way by the Philadel phia State Committee. There is no mistaking what the Re publican people of the State want and demand. Tbey demand a new State Convention, and the nomination of a new State ticket, thus placing before the party but one ticket. This to be under the new rules, tbat provide for the election of delegates to State Con ventions to be made "by the people, of the people and for the people." The complaint is—and it is true—that the delegates to neither of the late State Conventions were made in the manner they might and should have been. Andsothe real question is one as to the methods in making State nominations The complaint is not so much against the tickets, as against the meth ods used in nominating them- Hence there is no remedy but a new convention and the people taking the matter in their own hands. Plenty of time remains for this, and it will well be worth all the trouble. In Xew York the Republicans do not nominate their State ticket until about the first of October. Pennsylvania can have but one ticket in the field before that time. From the first of the present trouble we have taken this ground and are pleased to see that it is now so generally concurred in. All proposi tions from either wing should be can did, fair, square and without humilia tion to either. We hope to bear of favorable action in this direction by the committee that meets to-day. There should be no jugglery, or attempts to trap and deceive. This would only make matters worse and prevent union and peace. OLD PAPERS. Mr J. Patten Thompson, of Kittan ing, favors us by sending some old newspapers of Western Pennsylvania. Among them is a copy of the Butler Sentinel, of the issue of October 15, 1825, and published, it says, "every Saturday morning by Stewart k Buff ington." The Mr. Stewart bere meant is the Hon. William Stewart, yet liv ing, and now in Pittsburgh, and the Mr. Buffiogton meant is the late Ho:. Joseph Buffington, of Kittanning, Pa. We once hud a bound copy of the Sentinel, which we believe is now in the possession of the Herald office of this place. It was a small paper, about twice as large as an 8 by 10 pane of glass, and printed on very coarse pa per, said to be made of the bark of the slippery-elm tree. The issue sent is very interesting, as giving what was going on in Butler in 1825—57 years ago. Among other things we see tbe advertisement of a "new grocery store," by J. Buffington and S. A. Pur yiance. William Ayres, Esq., recom mends Mr. Purviance, who he says is a student at law with him, to all who wish deeds, articles of agreement, etc, to be drawn. In tbat year, 1825, there was an election and the votingdistricts in this county were but 14 in number, being 13 townships and the borough of Butler. The Congressional district was Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Armstrong counties, and Robert Orr, of Armstrong county, was elected over Abner Lacock of Beaver county. The vote in Butler county being 930 to 576 end tbe vote in the whole fourcounties was less than is now polled in Butler county alone. Moses Sullivan was elected State Senator over John Gilmore, in a dis. trict composed of Allegheny, Beaver and Butler ; aud John Brown, William Beatty, James Power and William B. Foster were elected to the Assembly in a district of Allegheny and But ler counties. Robert Scott, John Pol lock, David Dougal, Nathan.Skeer aud Henry Evans were tbe candidates for County Commissioner, and Robert Scott was elected, having 494 votes. Maurice Bredin, William McLean and Robert Martin were the candidates for County Auditor and Mr. Bredin was elected. Rev. John Coulter and Joseph McQuistion were elected Trustees of the then Butler Academy. A vote it seems was takeu tbat year for a convention to reform tho State Constitution and it was beaten in this county by a vote of 612 for to G% against. Tbe only polit ical editorial in the paper shows a con troversy going on between tho editors of tbe Sentinel, Sullivan organ, and the Messrs. Bredins, editors of tho Reposi tory, Beatty organ The sarnie issue contains the mar riage notice of Daniel Kreitlerand Miss Maria MeCollough, then of this |»ln«*e- The most interesting announcement in the Sentinel, however, is one that nays "Wool and ra;a will be received in payment of subscriptions at this oflice." Sales of lots in Whitestown are adver tised by Edward White. A stray cow, a stray mare and several other advertisements also appear. The motto of the Sentinel was, "Error ceases to be dangerous when Reason is left free to combat it"—a very good and true one. If we can find any old papers that we think will be of interest to Mr Thompson we will send them to him in return for his favors. t'elery I'IIIIIIH.

UNITED STATES JAIL, WASHINGTON, P. C., June 30—9:45 A. M. —Guiteau was verv restless duriug most- ot the latter part of the night, not seeping more than twenty minutes at a time. Towards morning he fell into a sounder sleep from sheer exhaustion. lie rose a few minutes after tive and breakfasted heartilv at 6:30. When the cook took his breakfast into the cell Guiteau told him to bring his dinner in at eleven o'clock promptly. I)r. Hicks, who remained at the jail all night, was called into the prisoner's cell soon' after he rose and held a con sultation on religious subjects with him. At eight o'clock Dr. Hicks saw the prisoner again when he made a re quest to have a bath and asked Hicks to go out and see the scaffold. Uuiteau desired him to arrange with the warden to have the trap sprung P.S soon after twelve o'clock as possible. He also expressed considerable lest some accident should occur, and insist ed that Hicks should see that the scaffold and its appurtenances were all in a proper condition. After Guiteau bad disposed of these matters, he read a poem composed by himself, which he calls "Simplicity, or Religious Baby Talk." After reading it alone he attempted to sing but broke down in the effort. Guiteau then tallied for some time about his future. He remarked that his heart was tender. "I don't think," he said, "I can go through the ordeal without weeping, not because of any great weakness, for the principle in me is Btrong, but because I am nearer the other world. I hold to the idea that God inspired me." Guiteau subsequently asked that in his book all complimentary remarks about President Arthur and his admin istration be eliminated, lhen he pre sented Hick? the books that have been the companions of bis lonely hours. He told Hicks that be wanted him to offer the first prayer on the scaffold, saying that ho (Guiteau) would theu read his favorite scriptural passage, the tenth chapter of Matthew, and offer a prayer on his owu account. Lben be intended, he said to read his poem, "Simplicity." He desired to have the execution so arranged that just as he uttered the last word the drop should be sprung. . John W. Guiteau arrived at the jail at nine o'clock and was followed in a few minutes bv Warden Crocker. These two gentlemen, with Hicus, had a consultation as to the disposition of the body. At 9:15 the prisoner came out into the corridor and exercised for fifteen minutes. He walked very briskly, making it rather difficult for his guards to keep pace with him. At 10 o'clock Guiteau expressed a desire to take a bath, and a large tub was taken into his cell. At this hour no one but the '"death watch" was with him. Guiteau nervously disrobed and bathed. It was quite apparent to the guaad who was closely watching his every movement, tbat his object in ask ing for the bath was simply to obtain some employment which might distract his thoughts for the dread contempla tion of bis approaching death. He evinced increa e ed nervousness and his uncertain movements, distracted man ner and marked tremor in his tones, when he attempted to speak, impress ed the guard with the belief that he is rapidly weakening. After Guiteau had finished copying bis "prayer upon the scaffold" ho be gan to arrange his dress, putting on a pair of navy blue trousers. At half past ten the guard came ont of the door and said, "He is ready for Dr. Hicks now, and wants the flowers to come." Another guard who took a message hurried off and soon returned with Hicks, who went into the cell. Guiteau was theu reported by bis guard to be apparently very composed. Guiteau's message about the flowers referrad to bis expectation that Mrs. Scoville would send some flowers to him but none bad arrived at the time he asked for them. After a short con ference with Crocker, John W. Gui teau went outside the jail to see bis sister. He found her in a great ex citement, bordering upon hysteria, but after a short time he succeeded in calming her and dissuading her from any further attempt to gain ad mission. She acknowledged the pro priety of such a course, but said she could not possibly remain in the city during all the wretched hours of the morning. She brought with her the flowers which Guiteau bad asked for, and they were takeu to the prisoner. Mrs Scovi.le also brought two hand some flower pieces, a cross and anchor, which she will piano upon her brother's eoffiu with her own bauds. 11:35 A. M. While Dr. Hicks was iu tbe prison er'# cell at 11 o'clock, (Juiteau made Home requests as to tbe execution, and, having made copies of his "last prayer," poem and other writings, tore up the originals He then sent for the jail boot-black, and gave him his shoes to be shincd. His dinner was brought as the doctor was leaving, and be ate with much relish. llis dinner con sisted of u pound Of broiled stake, a dish of fried potatoes, four slices of toast and a quart of coffee. I)r. Hicks, when Le came out from the cell, said the prisoner had not the slightest fear. "We have had a pleas ant religious talk. He feels now that, his preparation is made, urid ho is ready for the last formality. He commits himself to Uod with the utmost con fideuce. I think ho will show somo emotion because his nervous strain is so groat." Nobody, Dr. Hicks said, bad seen the prisoner at th-it time ex cept him. elf and the jail officers. Shortly before twelve o'clock Guitc&u seemed to break down com pletely and burst into tears and sobbed hysterically. Dr. Hicks sat by bis side fanning him and vainly trying to calm him. About half past eleven preparations began to be made for the execution. At 11:50 a detachment of artillery was formed on the east side of the rotunda and brought their mus kets to parade rest at that time. About two hundred and lifty people were in the rotunda. Dr. Hicks was with the prisoner engaged in prayer. (juiteau showed great nervousness and appeared greatly startled when ho heard tbe rattle of the muskets on the ttone floor of the rotuuda. From that moment (Juiteau appeared to be thoroughly overcome with' emotion. He wept freely and seemed to be iu great anguish. The sceue in the ro tuuda, while waiting for the prisoner, was one long to be romfembered. The soldiers were drawn up on one side iu a long line, the spectators facing tbem on the other. It was understood Gui teau was very much depressed aud it was expected his passage to the gal lows would present a very distressing sight. The movements of the officers about the jail door were watched with eager attention. TO THE SCAFFOLD. At 12:25 the loud steam whistle was blown at the work house, which is near the jail. This whistle usually blows at 12 o'clock, and by it Guiteau was in the habit of gauging time. The delay to-day was by special ar rangement, so that its startling sum mons might not come before the offi cers were ready: Two minutes later the iron gates at the end of the corri dor clicked, when Warden Crocker made bis appearsnca and a moment later the familiar figure of Guiteau was seen. His face was pallid aud the muscles about his face moved nervous ly; other than this there were no signs of faltering. The procession moved quickly t) the scaffold and Guiteau ascended the somewhat steep steps with as much steadiness as could be expected from a man whose arms were tightly pinioned. At the last steps he faltered for a moment, but was assisted by the offi cers who walked upon either side. Upon reaching the platform Guiteau was placed immediately behind the drop, facing to the front of the scaffold. Captain Coleman stood upon bis right, Robert Strong upon his left, and Woodward directly behind him. Jones took position on the north side near the upright of the beam. Warden Crocker took his position at the southeast cor ner of the structure. There was a slight delay while the spectators were pushing and jostling through the door leading from the rotunda to the corri dor, at the lower end of wbich the gallows was placed. Guiteau mean while gazed upon the crowd, looked up at the beam over bis his head, aud quickly made a survey cf all the dread paraphernalia. As soon as the crowd had gained access General Crocker waved to tbem to uncover and all heads were bared. Dr. Hicks then prayed in these words: 'Father, out of the depths we cry to Thee. Hear Thou our sup plication for the sake of Jesus Christ thebavior who has made full propitia tion for us. Behold this Thy servant. We humbly pray that Thou wilt de liver him at this supreme moment of his life. Let Thy light descend upon him. Liberate his soul from prison. May he appear before Thee absolved by Thy great mercy, from blooo guilti ness. Deliver him and us. God have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. LarubofGod that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Amen and amen." THE ASSASSIN I'RAYS. During the prayer Guiieau stood with bowed head. At its conclusion Dr. Hicks opened the Bible, aud Guiteau in a firm tone said : ' I will read a selection from the 10th chapter of Matthew, from the 28t!i to the 41st verse inclusive." He then read in a clear, strong voice and with good intonation, show ing little if any nervousness. Dr. Hicks then produced the manuscript, wbich was prepared by the prisoner this morning, and held it before him, while Dr. Hicks was arranging the manuscript, Guiteau exhibited a slight nervousness, and moved several times from one foot to the other. He soon recovered his composure, looked at the sea of upturned faces and said : "I am now going to read to you my last dying prayer." He then read in a loud tone aud with a distinct and de liberate utterance the following: Father, now I go to Thee aud the Savior. I have finished the work Thou gavest me to do, aud I am only too happy to go to Thee. The world does not yet appreciate my mission, bdt Thou knowest it. Thou knowest Thou didst inspire Garfield's removal and only good has come from it. This is the best evidence that the in spiration came from Thee, and I have set it forth in my book that all men may read and know that Thou, Father, didst inspire the act for which I am now murdered, This Govern ment and the Nation by this act I know will incur Thy eternal enmity, as did the Jews by killing Thy man, my Savior. The retribution in that case came quick and sharp and I know Thy divine law of retribution will strike this Nation and my murderers in the name way. The diabolical spirit of this Nation, its Government and its newspapers toward me, will jus tify Thee iu cursing them, and I know that Thy divine law of retribution is inexorable. I therefore predict that this Nation will go down iu blood, aud the murderers, from Executive to hangman, will go to bell. Thy laws are inexorable. Oh, then, Supreme Judge, woo unto meu that violate Thy laws ; only weeping and gnashing of the teeth awaits them. The American press has a large bill to settle with Thee, righteous Father, for their vin dictiveness in this matter. Nothiug but blood will satisfy them, and now my blood be on them and this Nation and its ollicials. Arthur, the Presi dent, is a coward aud iugrate. His ingratitude to the man that made him and saved the party and land from overthrow has no parallel in history, but Thou righteous Father, will judge him. Father thou knowest me, but the world has not known me, and now 1 go to the aud thoe Savior without the slightest ill will toward a human being. Farewell, ye meu of earth!" At several points he half paused and endeavored to impart increased empha sis to his words by the peculiar facial expression so often observed during the trial, when he was angered at something which was said or done. This was particularly noticeable when he alluded to President Arthur and when he declared this nation would "Go down in blood." When he had finished reading his prayer he again surveyed tho crowd and said, atill with a firm voice, "I am now goiug to read some verses which are intend ed to indicate my feelings at the moment of leaving this world. If set to music they may be rendered effec tive. The i,dea is that of a child bab bling to bis mamma and his papa. I wrote it this morning about 10o'clock.' Ho then commenced to chant th'.'se verses in a sad, doleful style : "I am going to the Lordy, 1 am HO glad, I aiu going to the Liordy, 1 am no glad, I atu going to the Lordy, Glory hallelnjuh, glory hallelujah .' I am going to the Lordy. I love the Lord with all my soul, Glory hallelujah, j And that is the reason lam coing to theLordy, Glory hallelujib, glory hallelujah, I am going to the Lor .y Here Guiteau's voice failed, and he bowed his head aud broke iuto sobs, but he rallied a little aud went on with his chant. I saved my partv and my laud. Glory hallelujah ! But they have murdered me for it, And that is the reason I am going to the Lordy, Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah! I am going to the Lordy. Here again his feelings overcame him and he leaned his head on the shoulder of Dr. Ilieks aud sobbed piti fully. Still he went on : "I wonder what I will do when I get with the Lordy, I guess that I will weep uo more, When I get to the Lordy : Glory hallelujah ! Here there was another interruption caused by the sobs and emotious which he was unable to repress. He wept bitterly, and then with qu'.veriug lips and doleful tones he went on to finish his ditty. "I wonder what I will see, when I get to the Lordy ; I expect to see most splendid things beyoud all earthly conception, When I am with the Lordy, Glory hallelujah! (Raising his voice to the highest pitch that he could command.) "Glory hallelujah! I am with the Lordy.'' This closed the chant and then Rev. Mr. Hicks gave Guiteau his final bene diction and farewell, saying, "God, the Father, be with thee and g've thte p a -e forever more." THE DROP FALLS. The attendants then pinioned his legs and carefully adjusted the noose about his neck. Mr. Strong placed the black cap over his head, and as he did so, Guiteau called out in loud tones: "Glory, glory, glory." Instantly the spring was touched, the drop fell, and Guiteau hutg in the air. The body turned partly around, but there was not the slightest perceptible movement of the limbs. For at least forty seconds after the drop fell the body hung motionless ; then there was a slight motion of tho shoulders and legs, due to muscular contraction. Three minutes after the drop fell the body was lowered, to be examined by the physicians. When the drop fell a yell was sent up by some persons inside the jail, and this was echoed outside by the voices of a thousaud or more people, wbo hur rahed lustily. There was general on slaught by the populace upon the jail door. The officers were unable to withstand it, and hundreds of people crowded into the office. There was a decided action of tbe heart for fully fourteen minutes and the pulfe fluttered two minutes longer. When the body had hung with the feet just touching the ground for over half an hour it was lowered into tho coffin which was waiting for it uuder tbe scaffold. The physicians decided the neck bad been broken. When the body was lowered tbe black cap was removed aud the face exposed. The features were pallid and composed. About the mouth there was consider able moisture. THE AUTOI'SY. The result of the autopsy,, so far as they can be learned from the surgeons, may be stated as follows : After sur veying the body externally, the sur geons proceeded to lay open the brain cavity and thorax and examine the organs therein contained. The brain was found to weigh forty-uine and one half ounces, which is a little more than the average, and was well formed, and presented no external evidence of dis ease or lesion. The neck was not dis located or fractured, as surgeons sup posed, but there was a rupture of the muscle on both sides, as well as the membrane. It follows therefore, that death resulted from suffocation and not from dislocation of the spinal vertebra. A partial examination was made of the abdominal viscera, but it bad not been completed at the time the autopsy was suspended. The spleen was fouud to be considerably enlarged, its weight being fifteen ounces, or more than twice that of a normal spleen. Other abdominal organs, as far as examined presented no unusual feature. The re port of the surgeons will probably not be ready before Wednesday next. Judge AK'H'Won Male Politics* (To the Elitor of the Philadelphia Telegraph.] "The power of the Independent ticket cau bo felt in the defeat only of the Republican party in the State. In tho language of my letter to Mr. Mapes, "This is inevitable, for the Democracy, who are wise as ser pents, will take advantage of division." Democratic success gives that party a four years' lease of power iu tbe State. This includes the Presidential election of IHB4. Now who taught you tbat the defeat of Bossism, by a-deep-seated schism iu tho party, is not fatal dis ruption, or that tho death of Republi canism in 1882, will bo followed by a happy resurrection in 1883? You are not the first one whose "foresight is not equal to his hindsight" You will find many besides myself will re gard your tragic heroism, simply suicide, to bo punished by a stake through the body at tbe cross-roads. Could you not tell us something of the other side—the humiliation of Re publican defeat, the heart burning of clashing leaders, tho bickerings and animosities of factious, tbe rejoicing of tho victors, stimulus of victory to future effort, the transfer of tbe 'spoils,' the advantage of the possession of tho arsenals ami munitions of war, and the strongholds of power, aud the control which possession of the State gives over the election of 1884 ? Your quackery would use tho knife, though you endanger tho Union by the loss of Pennsylvania. It reminds mo of a case of malpractice tried before us, where a heroic surgeon extirpated tho liver as a hugh tumor. Did be kill the patient? Certainly. A Demo cratic victory in 1884 is a reversal of the Republican policy of twenty years —is dr.ngerous to the doctrine of pro tection—to the system of national cur rency, tbe revival of free trade notions, the resumption of Bourbonisin, tho re newal of Bossism in the South and of many dangers which, when you was a common sense Republican, you once saw. You refer to my detestation of Bossism. You aro right. 1 would hit every head that pops up. But your detestation of it reminds me of the fable of the bear who would kill a fly on the face of his sleeping master. The blow of tho paw broke the jaw, but it killed the fly. Beaver, June 8, 1882. I). AGNKW." liiMiirauce. Geo. W. Shaffer, Agent office with K. .Marshall Esq., Brady Block, Butler Pa. mayU-tf CYCLONE IN THIS COUNTY. Two Persons Killed and Many Oilier* Injured and uiucli Properly Destroyed. The cyclone, or tornado, that passed over part of Slipperyrock township and nearly across Cherry twp., this county, t iking Coalville in its route, on Friday evening, June 30th, last, was not only an unusual one, but such as never known before in the county, so far as we can learn. On Monday, 3d inst., we visited the scene and learned about the follow ing facts. The first symtoms of the wind storm were seen about 7 o'clock in the evening at Keister's mill dam, Slipperyrock twp., in which the water is said to have been whirled up from the very bottom. From there it went about a mile almost directly east, to ward Coalville, in Cherry twp. The citizens of Coalville saw and heard it c >ming, and describe it in appearance as two white clouds, resembling steam, and the noise as resembling that made by an approaching train of cars. These clouds came together about a half mile west of Coalville and settled immediately over the store house of Bard Bros., and the house and shop of Mr. Seth Myers, which were the first struck and were completely torn to pieces. In the Bard store were eight men, two were injured, Mr. Frank Clutton being perhaps the most severely hurt of any of all those injured. Mr. L. L. Cannon, the other injured man, has but slight wounds. Here the cloud seemed to rise, but descended again immediately toward the village, and then first str,king the house of Wm. Barron Jr., which it tore into shreds and killing Mrs. Barron. She was carried some ten rods from where the house stood, with her two chidren, one a babe and the other about three years old, which, strange to say, were not killed, but both are severely injured. The place where the house stood could not be recognized afterwards, so completely was it and all about it blown away. The next house struck, near by, was that of Mr. William A. Kelley, in which at the time was a man named Henry Hendley, who was up stairs writing a letter at the time. He was carried out of it and over another house and against the top of a barn and found with the roof of the same some distance off and so badly hurt that he died next day. These two were the only persons killed. Several other houses and buildings in this vicinity were also blown down in whole or in part, among them those of two men named Craig and one named McAfee. This brought the track of the storm to Coalville proper, where the follow ing houses, shops or stores were level ed to the ground: Sample & Elliott store, in which were fifteen persons, but none badly injured; shoe sb»p of Mr. Adam Korn, blown down, and Mr. Korn bruised and two ribs fractured ; Book & Shannon store, racked, twisted aud out of shape; Walker's drug store completely down; Stewart's shoe shop, a barber shop; Dr DeWolf's office ; William A. Kelly house; the Kelso House, only public house, roof off and otherwise damaged; Kiester Hall, built by Mrs John Kiester, complete ly blown down ; then the Leonard J. McQuistion house and meat shop, blown to peiccs, and Mr. McQuistion badly injured, being next to Mr. Clut ton in extent of his injuries. He had also a horse killed near bis door. His wife and two children escaped injury ; but he himself was for some time bur ied beneath the parts of his house and is said to be internally hurt. Among others bruised or injured we learned the names of Geo. Mediation, Mrs. Fred Stewart, John McElwaine, Joseph Kerr, George Masterton, Thos. Campbell and Theodore Earhart. The storm then struck a dense for est, on the hill east of Coalville, and tore up by the roots or twisted off the tops of trees immense in size and num ber, making a complete track through same. On the top of the hill it struck a school house, known as the Pigeon Wing school bouse,. of Cherry twp., and blew it to pieces. Next it struck the farm house of James Armstrong and completly tore the same to pieces. Mr. Armstrong was reported as badly cut and otherwise injured in person. Then still passing on eastward, through Cherry twp., it went immediately north of the residence of John Smith, Esq., and done much damage to his orchard and fences. The farms of Samuel Glenn and Russell were passed and some injury done, and then it struck severely that of Mr. Charles Tinker, whose orchard was completely leveled to the ground, born partly blown down and much other injury done. The storm spent itself on leaving this place, in the valley in which David, Charles and Levi Stewart reside, doing some dam age to their farms, and making a track of about four miles in all, and all along which the largest trees were uprooted or their tops twisted off. From the top of the cyclone, as it passed along, there issued an immense and dark mass of dirt and debris. It was ull the work of but a minute or two. Many curious incidents are mentioned, among them the hat of a man being found eight miles away from where it was taken from his head. Altogether it was a most singular and fearful storm and one long to be re membered in that vicinity. The most wonderful part of the whole matter is that so few lives were lost.
