A storm and cloudburst swept over a vast portion of this part of the state, and in its track left a sea of desolation, sweeping everything before it. Many lives have been lost. Herds of cattle, horses and every living thing within its awful track, with small exceptions, was swallowed up in less time than it requires to write its history. At about the hour of 7 o'clock last evening, there appeared in the southwest a hea.vy and angry-looking cloud, which passed to the northwest of this place. A continuous blaze of lightning and awful peals of thunder made the icene fearfully grand.

There was no cessation of the threatenings of the storm, when at about 1 a the awful Niagara had culminated to more than its own capacity to contain, and in an instant its fury was turned loose, and like a pent up demon, it swooped down with the energy of a raging billow and spread death and ruin in its track.

I don't khow who called him. It wasn't the church, nor the people, and I know it wasn't God, for he never knew him. It might have been the devil. He had too much wind on his stomach and the old Devil thoght that he would let the wind off, that was all. It was not preaching that ailed him.

Editor Press: The Saline county Journal, of the 23d, contains an editorial in reference to the adventure the County Commissioners of this count)-, had last week with the Galva baby. Sampson is always funny, and subject to gres.t flights of imagination, and in this instance has fairly outdone himself. As the article reflects upon the integrity of the Board, and shows unjustice to the lady who cared for the helpless child.

I deem it proper to offer a correction. The Commissioners did not go back 011 their contract with Mrs. Hodges, but had allowed her bill in full the day before she came (with the child) before the board- The trouble was not over the allowance of the bill at all, which, as I said before, was allowed without a word. The Board by an order, had direct ed Mrs. Hodges to turn the child over to the matron of the poor farm who wanted it and agreed to keep it at $3 per week, which the former lady re-iused to do I suppose that Mrs.

Hodges had become attached to the baby and did not like to give it up, at any rate, she talked cross to the Board, called us cruel and etc. It is a fact, that one of our number was "trapped" into taking the child in his arms, when the lady said: "now you have got your baby make the most of it," or words to that effect; but after enjoying the siturtion for a while, agreed to take the child to the poor farm, which she did. It is not my business to defend Mrs. Hodges but I must say that it is not iair to speak of her as a "wet nurse," for, as I understand it, she took the baby out of the gutter, where it had been thrown to die by the unhuman outfit who are responsiable for its ex-istance, and kindly cared for it when no one else woiW. The Board was sorry indeed to take the child away from Mrs.

Hodges, and did so only as a matter of economy. Sampson in order to say something sunny about our county, his li tale.

London, April 27. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily News says: "I am informed on good authority of another engagement on the Afghan frontier of 1,700 Russians, who engaged the Afghans, Nearly all were killed." The Abilene Chronicle tells of a farmer of that county who got 705 dozen of eggs from three cows.

Sheriff Frank McGrath, ofBeloit, Mitchell county, was in town this morning. For the past week he has been following a horse thief through Rice, Ellsworth and Saline counties. It seems that one Mike Young came into this county last fall, and after several months work he, three weeks ago, hired a team from Foster Cooley, a liveryman of Beloit, and sold it in a few days at Salina. Then he proceeded to steal another team near there, and started on a stealing trading expedition through Rice, Reno and vicinity.

It is believed that he stole at least one horse iu Reno, and one in northwestern Rice. A few weeks previous to his starting off on his "tour" he had abducted a daughter of John Wall, ot Bulls City Mitchell county, and a letter was intercepted by Sheriff McGrath that led him to believe that the girl was with her brother who lives 10 miles northwest of Brookville, in Ellsworth county, and that he, (Mike Young) would soon attempt to visit her.
