THE STORM AT MT. BETHEL.
Home Houses Mown Down but no Ono
was Hurt,
Mt. Bethel, Feb. 21.?Tho most de
structive storm passed through this
section on the loth that has evor been
witnessed by our oldest inhabitants.
Mr. E. O. Mitchell seems to bavo suf
fered tho greatest loss 'at this place,
two barns unroofed, considerable loss
of provender and other buildings dam
aged. F. L. Bramlott and T. J. Clat
worthy's barnB are unroofed. Between
seventy-live and ono hundred trees aro
down around Mt. Bethel Church and
school house, somo of which uro over
two feet in diameter. There were over
forty ohildren, besides the teacher, in
the school houso during the storm. We
are glad to report no loss of life to ci
ther people or stock.
Rev. S. W. Henry requests us to say
through The Advkrtiser that the In
dividual assessments will be read out
on the Second Sunday in Marc'i at 11
a. m. All members are requested to ho
presont. This is Mr. Honry's fourth
year on this work. All aro well ploased
with hliu and have resolved to make
this the best year of the four.
Mrs. J. A. Hughes, who has been
quite sick for several days is some bet
ter.
It is fearfully cold at this writing
and wheat and oats had taken on a
new growth. We are fearful both aro
injured, especially the oats, but oats
oan be sown up to the 15th of March
and make a good crop. Those who
have lost their oats and have none
sown should select a few auros of their
best land and sow yet.
Tho Editor of Tho Herald gave this
advice several years ago. Your scribe
accepted it, sowod la March and made
a fine crop by which ho saved many
dollars in high priced corn.
Aqrioola.
The Driver Knew IJlm.
It Is related of the lato Bret Harte
that ho was once traveling through a
u>ouhtainous region by coach. Ills seat
rw?;s next to the driver's, and it oc
curred to him to entertain that func
tionary and incldeutally his fellow
passengers by narrating a series of
hair raising episodes in the coaching
history of tho wild west.
With mischievous ingenuity ho cal
culated euch tale so cleverly that Its
bloottcurdllng climax was reached at
a particularly bad bit of road, thus
j forcing present peril to heighten the
effect of imagined adventure. At first
the adventures were not linagued; they
;wero truo stories, but the widening
eyos and breathless Interest of his au
dience was too great a temptation, and
be soon begau to improvise his own
fictitious hero, Yuba Bill, and other
iwondrous whips of equal power were
pressed into service; Indians, land
elides, holdups, blizzards, Broken
bridges, forest fires and runaways ,were
sprinkled in to taste, and the result
twas a marvelous conglomerate of dlmo
novel, epic, racing annals and local his
tory.
Even the slowly stirred perceptions
Niit; of tho touring Briton at length recog
\ nlzed that this was no common story
teller, and when Mr. Harto left the
? coach speculation ran rife among those
(Who remained. The dri\ er let them all
have their guess, and then, turning on
his perch to confront his load, he tri
umphantly decided the matter:
" 'E may think 'e's traveling hlncog,
but 'e ain't! I knows 'im, I do! 'JO
don't look much like Ms picture, but 'e
cawn't be nobody else. 'E's Buffalo
Bill, gentlemen, that's 'o 'e lsl"
Too IiunK
An old lady of his fiock once called
upon Dr. Gill with a grievance. The
doctor's neckbands were too long for
her ideas of ministerial humility, and
after n long harangue on the sin of
prido she Intimated that sho had
brought a pair of scissors with her
nnd would be pleased if her dear pas
tor would permit her to cut them down
to her notions of propriety.
Tho doctor not only listened patient
ly, but handed over the offending white
bands to be operated upon. When she
bad cut them to her satisfaction and
returned the bibs, It was the doctor's
turn.
"Now," said he, "you must do me a
good turn also."
"Yes, that I will, doctor. What can
It bo?"
"W^ill, you have something about
you which is a deal too long and which
onuses me no end of trouble, and I
Should like to see it shorter."
"Indeed, dear sir, I will not hesitate.
What is It? Here aro tho scissors.
Use them as you please."
**Oome, then," said the sturdy divine,
"good Bister, put out your tongue.**?

Bird* In Indian Lesend?.
'Ah prlmltlvo people regard the bird
n? specially wlso and favored. Living
In tho air, ho Is regarded as exercising
control over atmospheric phenomena,
nnd, knowing so well his own migra
tory seasons, the Indians observo his
flights as foreboding ill or good to
themselves.
The Hurons believe that tho dovo
carries tho souls of tho departed hence.'
Tho Dakotas say the storm bird dwells
?o high as to bo out of human vision
/and carries a fresh water lake on his
back, so that when ho plumes himself
it rains, when ho winks bis bright eyes
It lightens, when ho flaps his wings
thunder rolls. Tho Alaskans hold much
the samo idea about tho "thunder
bird."
