The bill In regard to the world’s fair to be open¬ 
ed In N. Y. City In 1SS3, on the hundreth anniver¬ 
sary of the peace between the thirteen States and 
England, has passed both houses and received 
the President’s signature. Thus the first step In 
this great enterprise has been taken and others 
will rapidly loliow .A Democratic conven¬ 
tion was held ut Syracuse, N. Y., on the twentieth 
Inst. The Tllden men were In the majority, and 
although the delegates to the National Convention 
to be held in Cincinnati were not instructed to 
vote lor Tllden, there can be but little doubt that 
they will cast their votes for him.President 
Hayes’ private secretary, Mr. W. K. Rogers, It is 
rumored, Is likely to be appointed Governor or

at tiueenstown on the aoth with succor for the

The women are steadily gaining recognition at 
the polls. The first woman's vote in Illinois, on 
the liquor question was given at Kelthsburg a short 
time ago. It was a question of license or no license, 
the women, 165 In number, voting solidly lor the 
latter. On the morning of the election a prayer- 
meeting of two hours’ duration kept siege at the 
very gates of heaven tor success, and It was 
granted... .The mystery shrouding the assault on 
Mr. Whittaker, the colored cadet at West Poiut, 
an affair which we mentioned in last week’s news 
has not yet been cleared up. Last Saturday eioseu 
the loth day of the investigations, and, with the evi¬ 
dence apparently nearly exhausted, the matter Is 
still as bewildering a muddle as at tne outset; 
notluug has been brought to fight that wifi give a 
clue to the perpetrators_A tragedy look place in 
San Francisco on the evening or the 23d inst., 
which, by reason oil the noturieiy of the parties 
Involved, has created gieat excitement in that 
city. Charles De Young, the editor and proprietor 
ol the San Francisco chronicle, was shot and In¬ 
stantly killed by I. il. Kailoch, a sou oi the mayor 
of the city. The trouble Is an old one. Eight years 
ago, shortly alter the arrival of Ealloch In San 
Francisco, the Chronicle contained an exposure ol 
his alleged scandalous behavior in Boston, and 
when he entered politics last year this was again 
revived. KallocU retaliated, reflecting dishonor 
on De Young's aged mother. For mis he was shot 
by De Young last August, but recovered from the 
wounds; and now liafioeh’s son, who Is also a 
Baptist minister, enters the Chronicle olliijc und 
assassinates bis lather’s assailant. He was arrested 
An exceedingly destructive torna do swept over 
a large area oi tne Western country on tne even¬ 
ing or April tne lsih. Its loroe was unparalleled. 
It leveled everything In Its path, whole towns 
were demolished and almost obliterated from 
the earth, and hundreds of persona were kuied 
and wouudeu. Kulu, desolation and.death are tne 
laud-marks ol Us terrible track. Reports state 
that tue violence of the wind was so great that 
trees three feel tu diameter were for a space of 
several hundred feet, entirely lilted out of the 
ground, limbs twisted off and the bark In many 
Instances peeled off as If struck by Ugh thing. 
Telegraph poles were twisted off at the ground, 
the w ires carried hundreds of rods and tied and 
knotted among the limbs as If they were made of 
cotton yarn, cattle, hogs, sheep horses and poul¬ 
try were whirled into the air and earned great 
distances, Eye witnesses describe the approach¬ 
ing storm as a frightful-looking black cloud, lun- 
nel-shaped and moving in the manner of a screw- 
propeller. The greatest destruction appears to 
have occurred in Missouri and particularly in the 
southwestern counties of the State. Here tne 
little thriving tow n or Marshfield, with 2,500 in¬ 
habitants, was blown down aud the ruins taking 
fire the town was In the course of a few hours al¬ 
most obliterated. Whole families were killed in 
their homes. The death fist reports loo persons 
killed In this town alone. The storm came from 
tne west and moved eastward. It seems to have 
spent us greatest lnry between the SHU and 36th 
degrees or parallel, but Its track was irregular, 
and destructive gales are reported also from Iowa, 
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and 
southern Canada, It Is impossible to give any¬ 
thing like an approximate estimate of the dam¬ 
age incurred. Later reports show that the de¬ 
struction of fife and property Is much greater 
than was at first supposed.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS, 
On Thursday, Saturday and yesterday a terrible 
storm raged along the fine of the Central Tacltle 
railroad in Cal., and tnrougnouc the greater part

lands aud the destruction of homesteads, villages 
aud even of Maysvilie and Sacramento. Fortu¬ 
nately the rain changed toasuow siortn on the 
Sierras and the danger has been averted, ’Twas 
tue heaviest stone that ever swept over the 
Central Pacific Railroad region. All now prom¬ 
ises settled fair weather.A dispatch from

Dear Sir:—You will probably recollect that I 
got a Com Drill from you about 30 years ago. Now 
the Wood Cylinder that distributes the com Is worn 
so It does not hold the screws. Wfil you please 
send me one with screws in, by mail or express, 
and I will remit you Lhe price. 1 have drilled my 
corn with it ever since 1 got It, and am fully saushed 
It saves a good deal ot labor, and 1 can raise a con¬ 
siderable more corn to the acre than oy the old 
fashioned method. Please let me hear from you. 1 
am now an old man. 1 finished my 85th year yes¬ 
terday. Truly yours, John Johnston.
