A special from St. Louis, under date of the I9tli. says: The tornado which caused such frightful havoc at Marshfield last night passed entirely through Green and Webster Counties, following the course of the James River in a northwesterly direction. It struck the St. Louis and Sau Kranclsco Railroad in four places, and left it near Frank's Station,. 110 miles this side of Marshfleld. The latter place presents a terrible appear* atice, there not being more than a doz­ en houses unharmed in the entire town. The Conrt house and many other build* ings took fire, and the sceue and effects were of a DRCADFULCHAHACTBR. At one house two children were found dead, and another badly mangled but still alive. The parents could not be found. In another case a woman was lost entirely, and seems to have been carried away bodily. No details of the calamity have yet been received. The force of the Wind stripped the bark from trees and lifted others entirely out of the ground; and tf legraph poles and wires were carried hundreds pf rods iuto the woods, and tied and knot­ ted among the limbs of the branches as though they were cotton strings. Seventy-eight corpses have already been found, and many persons are still missing, and the number of the dead Is sot ye| ascertained.

In ordinary matters such treat­ ment of individuals would be deemed very dishonorable." tarYou could very easily tell that times were better, if you had no other means of ascertaining, by the news of the labor strikes all over the country. When times are hard the poor work- Inginen labor patiently along on half wages. When times are good they strike and don't work at all.
