The frightful |>ower of the wind was shown when it demolished a brick church and tore up thousands of trees by the roots, destroying three-fourths of the apple crop in the regions which it visited. It is be coming more and more evident that some gen eral cause is at work in the production of such storms, and that its manifestations vary iu dif ferent years. Its activity seemed to have reach en a maximum last year, but the record of the tornadoes so far this year indicates that the maximum may not even yet have been attain ed, and the tornado that visited part at Long Island last Wednerday shows that these storms are liable to occur in any part of the country- —John 11. Prichard, a young farmer of Ve nango county, committed suicide by /unixiuK himself in hi* father'* barn, la*t Saturday week- The body wa* not disoovered until Sunday afternoon.

He then left, oa hia family supposed, to visit a young lady in the neighbordood, to whom he WIN warmly attached and who reciprocated hid affection. He did not visit the young ludy, however, but, going a few steps beyond the barn, he turned to it and proceeded to curry out the fearful deaign of taking hia own life. Procuring an inch and u quarter rope, he fart ed one end to the highest crosa-l>eain and stand ing on the main beam below fastened tlie fatal noose about hia neck, and jumped oiT. There i* no knows cause for the act. He had rented a farm and was about to make a first attempt at business for hiuiaelf. The continuous bad weather, which interfered with his farm, caus ed much deapondeucy and was the subject of frequent conversation between him and his frienda. K Advertise in the CITIZEN —The incessant noise that one now hears, coming from the woods every day, is made by the locusts. These are said to be the "17-year locusts"—locusts that entered the ground in the form of grubs seventeen years ago and have just now come out tf it. They come from the ground in the form of a bug, about an inch long, and of a yellowish color. These crawl up the nearest bush or tree and fasten the.r claws firmly into a leaf or the bark. After a few hours the skin of the bug cracks from the head half way down the back and the locust begins to emerge. He comes out head first,and expanding as he comes, is a grub about one and a half inches long when he falls to the He has six full grown legs and as soon as he re covers from his stupor, he begins to crawl. This action unravels his wings, which, until now, had been rolled up in little waxy looking bundles at each side of He again crawls up a bush or trunk of a tree, and the sun soon hardens his wings, changes the color of his body from white to black and yel!ow > and his eyes to bright red, and he is then ready to fly to the tree tops and join in the family chorus. Here he again changes color to a bright green. The rent in the suit of clothes he leaves behind him, closes and the shell re mains hanging to the bushes for days. Many of the locusts meet with mishaps. In un. ravelling their wings they tear them. During a walk through the woods last Sunday, we noticed hundreds with deformed wings. This locust, unlike the migratory locust of the eastern continent and the grasshopper (locust; of our western prairies, is said to eat nothing during his stay above ground, and his only object in coming to the surface is to breed. The female locust is armed with a spear, extending from her throat down between her legs. This is her ovipositor, and with it she girdles small twigs and places her eggs in the score. Uy the time the autumn winds shake the trees, these twigs are sufficiently weakened to break off, and the little grubs fall to and enter the They burrow several feet beneath the surface, finds something to eat and grow and fatten on it. They gradually change into bugs and after 17 years come to the surface, to live a few weeks in the tree tops, breed and die. Thev make their noise by rubbing their wings to gether. The squirrels feast and fatten on them and so do the turkeys, if they are given a chance. COURT NEWS. The following criminal cases other than those reported in last issue were disposed of last week.

Another Case of the Dukes Kind CKKENVII.I.E, S. C., June 15. —For some days past, a rumor has been in circulation here to the effect that a Miss Kay, the daughter Of a constable, has been wronged by L. W Floyd, a wealthy young man doing business here. The story at length reached the ears of Mr. Kay, the girl's father, and he proceeded to investigate it Miss Kay finally confessed that Floyd had drugged and assaulted her, and had subsequently kept up an improper intimacy. Yesterday morning Mr. Kay called at Floyd's office aund asken Floyd if he proposed to mar ry his daughter. Floyd promptly replied in the negative, whereupon Mr. Kay reached for his re' jlvt-r. While in the act of taking out the wea]K>n, Floyd fired at him, but missed. Several shots were exchanged, when friends interfered, and the affair ended. Floyd was dangerously wounded by a bullet in the side. The uflair creates much excitement. THE CROP OUTLOOK. ANNOYED HY THE COLORADO POTATO BEETLE. HAMHIIUKO, PA, June 12. —The Colorado potato beetle, an insatiable pest to the tuber, which had promised comparative immunity this season up to within a few days, has again appear ed in large numbers in this county, and are devastating the potato patches. The common remedies, Paris green and London purple, will again be in active demand. The beetle has appeared con siderably later than in any former sea son since its first appearance herea bouts, which is a fortunate thing for the present crop. A SMALL AND ANNOYINU RED BUO. PINE GROVE, June 12.— A small red bug, which has within the luHt few days appeared in this vicinity, is doing considerable injury to the plum and cherry trees. The bug stings the plums and cherries, and iu a short time the fruit rots and drops The leaves and branches, covered with the deposits of the bugs, also wither and die. It is claimed by some farmers that this bug consumes the small potato hugs, which are playing sad havoc in their indi vidual line. CROPS IN THE SOUTH AND WEST. CHICAGO, Juno 12.—The Farmer#' Review to-morrow will publish a con densed crop Bumniary, based on reports from California, Tennessee, Kentucky and Northwestern states. It says there is little or no chango in Winter wheat; if any, for the worse. Spring wheat looks well and grows finely. Oats are improving and promise u finer crop. The first planting of corn is poor, but the second is coining on bet ter. No stand has been made. Subscribe lor the CITIZEN. Notes on Current Events. The New York Herald sharply says in reference to the trial for murder that must follow the killiug of Dukes by young Nutt that a Pennsylvania jury "can neither convict nor acquit him without subjecting the State to new disgrace." The Greenbackers of Ohio put up their candidate for Governor on Wed nesday, and next day the Prohibition ists put up theirs. Judging by the number of delegates at the two Con ventions, we should say that the Pro hibitionists are five times as strong as the Greenbackers. Captain Webb, the English swimmer who first swam across the British Channel, is now preparing to swim across the Niagara River below the Falls, so that he will pass by the famous whirlpool. These are strango investments that men make of their lives in the hope that they will receive back their lives and money besides. In this case the sum promised to Captain Webb will be paid to his wife if he is killed. A remarkable murder case has just beeu tried at MOP it Sterling in the State of Kentucky. Vaughn Helton was shot dead in bed beside his wife and child. John Barnett and seven other men were indicted for the murder. On his trial Barnett withdrew his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty. Five of the other seven prisoners followed Barnett's example, and with him were sentenced to imprisonment for life. Now three other men, who were called as witnesses for Barnett, have been indicted for complicity in the murder. It is very rare that the law has to deal with so many criminals all concerned in a single crime. The notion that was lately put into practice by a Philadelphia newspaper of cabling to this country every Sun day night the sermons of the London pulpiteer, Spurgeon, has been abandon ed. The price was too heavy for ser mons which were too cheap. They proved to be unprofitable to the paper which footed the cable bills for them. In fact, it was at once evident to those who read them during the few weeks of their publication here, that we have in this country hundreds of preachers who are in every way superior to Spurgeon of London—who are better reasoners and theologians, more per suasive, more learned, more imagina tive, and not less pious or enthusiastic than Spurgeon. The Philadelphia paper which cabled Spurgeon's sermons from London rendered some service bv bringing this truth home to the Amer ican mind. France lias got her war in Mada gascar as nicely started as her war in Tonquin. But in Madagascar as in Tonquin, she has not advanced much further toward victory. Tho oflicial report of the bombardment of Majunga, a Beaport of Hovas, shows that after taking possession of the town the French forces came to a halt. The worst is to follow there as well as in Annam. The Hovas could not, of course, resist the gunboats; but they have now instituted a land blockade around the seaport and have cut oIT supplies. The majority of the Sakala vas are reported to have adjusted their quarrel with the Hovas and are now acting with them against the invader; so that the French thus disappointed iu au ally, will have to increase their army in Madagascar by troops from home before thoy can contend success fully against tho natives. Tho latter have an army of Regulars numbering 20,000 men with firearms, and a horde of 50,000 spearmen who would do cf foctive work in the forest which lies between the coast and tho Ilovas cap : - tal. The drain upon the troops of tho Republic intended for foreign service, to reinforce the armies in Madagascar, Tunis and Tonquin, is a serious one, and the French are likely to bo locked up in Majunga for a long timo before they aro ready to move. It may bo so long indeed that possibly they will prefer a compromise with the Ilovas to an attempt to conquer them. Extra Session. From Kittanniug I'r.'ss (Republican). The Legislature having allowed the regular session to come to an end with out passing the apportionment bills, Governor I'attisou has summoned it to meet in extra sessiou at noon on Thursday last. While our State con stitution contains no specific provision concerning a congressional apportion ment, it fixes the time when the same shall bo made. This, with the appor tionment act passed by Congress in February. 1882, by which the Legisla ture is governed iu this respect, makes it necessary to redistrict tho State be fore the next congressional election. It would seem from this that the Governor has power in law to summon tho Leg islature to consider tho various appor tionment bills which they neglected to pass. He might have allowed the re sponsibility to rest with the Legisla ture and let it answer to the people for the neglect, but he deemed it of too great importance, and gives the Legis lature another opportunity to perform its duty. Now that an extra session has been called, on all hands the people will unite in an emphatic demand thutthcro shall be no gerrymandering about it. Alter the time spent in junketing and useless adjournments, tho Legislature should take up this work with reason and good faith, and make an earnest, honest effort to reach a conclusion and make a fair and reasonable agreement. During the regular session, in tho gen eral current of legislation, the appor tionment bills were partially lost si><lit of, but now public attention will be fixed upon them and them alone. Our people are patient and long suffering, but when patience ceases to be a virtue, they are equally prompt and active. The people demand that tho apportion ment bills bo passed, partisan bickering must give way to reasonable concession, a conclusion must be reached, and the party that stands in tho way of a speedy settlement will brinx the indig nation of the people upon its head and bo covered with overwhelming defeat. This is the proposition presented to the members of the Legislature, and the sooner they recognize the fact that concession must l»e made on both sides, the better for their future and the good of the State. All the Same in Dutch. It is announced that Don Cameron has retired from politics. .lust the other way ; politics have retired from Don Cameron Where It Struck. A threatening looking storm was seen to pass North of this place on last Tuesday evening week Many thought it would fctrike in the shape of another cyclone in the Northern part of this county. But by the fol lowing it appears to have reached Warren county this State before its force was spent: STORM IN WARREN COUNTY. •'A special from Clarendon, Pa., states that a tornado swept over that town on Tuesday night, demolishing B<s large oil rigs, five buildings and deluged the entire town, causing great loss of property. The tornado struck Clarendon at G:2O and .swept over the neighboring towns of Warren and Garfield, work ing damage in every direction. At Warren chimney pots and house roofs were whirled off, telegragh wires and poles were torn up and carried off like feathers. Nearly a score of oil rigs at Warren were wrecked and the tele graph building was blown down. At Sheffield the foot bridge across the Philadelphia & Erie was blown down, falling upon a passenger train and crushing a car. Fortunately it contained nothing but baggage. A large tannery owned by McNair & Co. was blown down and one of the em ployers seriously injured. The fine Catholic church was almost entirely demolished.'"
