A TERRIBLE STORM. Sr. Pavt, Minn., July 4.
The first complete account of the terrible destruction of life in Goodhue County by the storm of Wednesday night, and yes- terday morning, reached here early this morning. The storm assumed the char- acter of a cyclone near Red Wing, the point of great violence being at Nassa, a small village some ten miles off the Missi- ssippi. The following is from a Red Wing special to the ‘‘Pioneer Press :”
In the town of Vasa the fury of the storm was at its height, making fearful havoc. It seemed to start for miles beyond Vasa Church and travelled in a southwesterdly direction. The orphanage was completely demolished. It contained 24 inmates, and out of this number three were killed out- right and seventeen injured, three it is thought fatally.
The house of rick Stevenson, close by, was blown down, Stevenson being killed and his wife severely injured. G. H. Holmes and his wife were killed; alsoa baby of Mr. and Mrs. Linsed, and another party, whose name has not been learned ;
jinaking nine in all killed and four more
not expected to live. Bosron, July 4.

Crops of the Dominion.
The crop prospects in the Dominion gen- erally are said to be good. In New Bruns- wick probably larger areas have been put under cultivation than for many years. The weather of the past few weeks has been favorable, and a marked improvement is noticeable in the country districts. The area of potatoes put in is greatlyincreased over last year, the farmers having in mind the excellent prices and ready sales met last year. Ina great many instances as much as from one hundred bushels, up, of seed have been planted, and there is an excellent promise of a fair return at jthe harvesting season, though ina few cases a portion of the seed failed to come up, by reasen of the cold and wet weather. Wheat has been sown in greater quantities than formerly, thongh in many parts the proportion of wheat toother and perhaps less profitable crops is ridiculously small. However, it is encouraging to nete some improvement. Hay is a little backward in some localities at least, and for obvious reasons. On the whole, and considering that a larger area than formerly has been placed under culti- vation, we should judge that the treasure of the soil will be gathered up in fair quan- ties this season.
The Nova Scetia reports are much simi- lar to those of this Province. Potatoes have been planted in larger quantities than fermerly, and where not seriously affected by cold and rain, as they undoubtedly were in some parts, the.crop looks remarkably well. A very marked and gratifving im- provement both as to quantity sown and the condition of the crop, is reported of wheat, while grass is a little backward as yet, exceptin soil favorable to the condi- tion of the spring weather.
The Upper Province exchanges, also, give us the pleasing information that through- out Central and Western Ontario and the Province of Quebec, and also Manitoba so far as heard from, the crep prospects are excellent—in almest every respect all that could be desired. The prospects of a bountiful harvest in the Quebec district, it is said, were never mere promising than at present. The growing crops of all kinds look splendid, and should the weather prove faverable for harvesting, a large yield will be gathered in. The hay crep will be the heaviest ever experienced in that Prov- ince, which is the more gratifying as the crop is a little under the average, if any- thing, in the Maritime Provinces as a w ole. —Moneton Times.
senteceiliiliaiaes The Bonapartist Situation.
Some further interesting developments in the political situation are made. A curious reeonciliation has taken place be- tween Prince Jerome Bonaparte and M. Rouher and it is thought that this has been at least partly brought about by the Eng- lish Republicans, among them Sir Charles Dilke, M. Auberon, Herbert and Charles Bradlaugh. M. Rouher’s organ, ‘*L’Ordre” on the Ist contends that Prince Jerowe Bonaparte has indisputable and inalienable rights as head of the family and as future Emperor of France should the dynasty be restored during his lifetife ; but at the same time, it intimates that the truly Republican instincts and principles of Prince Jerome, which he has manifested on so many oc- casions during his career, would justify the Conservative and reasonable Republicans of France in accepting him as their present leader. On the contrary, M. Paul de Cas- sagnac, in his paper ‘‘Le Pays,” advocates the claims of Prince Victor Bonaparte as chief of the Napoleonic dynasty, and urges the union of the various Bonapartist part- ies in the interest of France at the present moment and of those of the Empire in the
future.
Einterprise in Zululand. A story comes to me from the Cape which would be amusing were it not ghastly. An officer who was despatched into the country
to buy horses was unhappily drowned on ~
his return while attempting to cross a swol- len River. The farmers at once tried to find his body, which they succeeded in doing five days afterwards. There was no such delay about presenting their ‘‘little bill,” which amounted to £1000 and was made up of such items as the following :—
To looking fer body for 5 days, at £5. ....£25 To Gating tte Rete oni oe 2 es is 5 To carrying away the body.............. 5 To watching the body...5.............. 5 To drinks.supplied to people loooking for She OAS. 5... -s ncncd «fav Fes ants 5 Zomerying the body......0..........5: 5
As another instance of the base ingrati- tude of the mother country, I may add that
the bill was not paid.— Whitehall Review, June 19, f eS
