Italn, Thunder and Lightning;.
These western regions have been vis
i ted to abundantly of late, with these
three elements, that we are naturally led
to an examination of the laws by which
they are governed. We often hear the
expressions, "It rains, it thunders, it
lightens." Dut if we inquire, what rains,
what thunders, and what lightens! we
shall find that we have been making the
little pronoun ' it," the scape-goat of our
own ignorance. In this enlightened age,
we talk just as ignorantly about the ac
tion of these elements, as the ancients
did about the thunder-bolts of Jove.
That water falls we all know, that the
electric fluid darts hither and thither and
a report is heard, every one of us under
stand; but the causes of such existing
phcric air, there is as much moisture as
it will contain, it is clear, that by the ad
dition of other clouds, there must be a
discharge. The compressure of tho at
mosphere by such addition, as well as by
the violent agitation of the lightning must
result in an increased full of rain. Just
as a sponge, filled with water, beinp com
pressed, must discharge a part of its con
tents. When clouds, then, are small and
scattered and move nearly in the same
direction, there is no show of rain, but if
the reverse, beware. To learn when
rain may be expected, we have only to
fix our eyes upon a certain cloud, and if
it rarifies and scatters, there will be no
raiu ; but if it attracts its neighbors, be
comes more dense, and emits the electric
fluid it is certain that it will discharge it
self in the region where it is located.

We can easily fence our prairie farms
with osage orange hedge. Hut, it is ob
jected that the osage orange will not
endure the cold winters ot this latitude.
In answer to this objection I can with
pleasure inform you that the osage orange
has endured the coldest winters ever
known in this latitude, and also that it is
successfully cultivated much farther north.
In Mills County, Iowa, about tern miles
east of riatismouth, there is a good osage
orange hedge, which has withstood the
severity of the last four winters, and is
now a good fence. The osage orange is
successfully cultivated in this county, and
we have good reason to believe that it is
admirably calculated for fencing prairie
farms. An experienced cultivator of the
osage orange, in a communication pub
lished in the Patent Reports, said, that if
any one would enumerate all of the good
qualities that were desirable in hedge
plants, it would be found that the osage
orange possessed the whole of them. It
is easily cultivated, is of rapid growth,
endures the winters admirably in this lat
itude, is the most thorny plant ever known,
and no anjmal will eat or touch it the sec

not spread by sprouting from the roots, or

thicken at the bottom, so as to fence
against pi(is, chickens and rabbits, and
four feet high, is the best kind of a fence
against horses, cattle, hogs, dogs, sheep,
geese, ducks, shanghais and boys. It
will neither rot down, blow down, wash
down, or burn down, and what good
qualities can be asked for in a hedge that
the osage orange does not possess ? Large
quantities of osage orange are now grow
ing in various parts of this county, which
will bo sold cheap, and anyone who wish
es to inclose a field with a hedge should
prepare the ground in season. If the
ground where the hedge is to stand is not
yet broke, it thouid be done as roon as
possible, so that the turf may become rot
ten by fcpring. Then plow the ground
again, and plant as early as April.
lhere are various modes ot preparing
the ground, and planting. Perhaps the
most expeditious method is to Jraw a fur
row, leaning them against the side, and
protecting them by slightly coveiing them
with dirt, when the whole row is set, turn
back the furrow with the plow, covering
the'plants entirely. They will live better
by beins covered. One row is sufficient
to form a good hedge, and the plants
should not be more than eight inches
apart in the row. Before the plants are
dug from the nursery, they should be
cut close to the ground, and while grow
ing in the hedge, they should be cut two
or three times each season, so as to cause
them to branch freely at the bottom. The
great obstacle which is anticipated is win
ter kill'ng, but it is not so much to be
feared as fall killing. A severe frost in
the fall, when the hedge is in full growth,
is more likely to injure it, than any win
ter freezing. In order to prevent fall
killing, plant your hedge on high ground,
and cut back at least three times a year,
in March, June and September. This
will soon form a good fence, and the Sep
tember pruning will check the fall growth,
so as to render 11 less liable to be injured
by the frosts of October and November.
The older the hedge becomes, the less
liable it is to be killed, and when it be
comes a fence, only one cutting a year is
necessary, and that should be done in
February or, March, when farmers have
plenty of lime to do it.

citizens, and we presume they will not
fail to reward him on Monday next, by
giving him their support. Sarpy Co mty

Womderi-ul Performance or the
Wiiio. Soon after the great tornado
had passed over this section uf the coun
try, in giving accounts of its devastations
and other effects, we mention that a farm
house near Chenona, in McLean county,
was lifted by the wind and carried three
hundred feet over the prairie without dis
tributing the dishes on the table which
had just been prepared for supper. Al
though the story was well authenticated
it was of such a marvelous character that
we found it, in common with others, diffi
cult to believe. While stopping at Che
nona waiting for the cars a few days
since, we had an opportunity of seeing
the house and making inquiries about the
matter, we found the story which had
been publisher., fully substantiated. The
house, quite a large story and a half
wooden structure, tood upon a swell of
the prairie, covered with a crowth of small
shade trees, andflas surrounded with out
houses. The family, consisting of four
fLsnns, were about sitting down to their
sapper when the tornado came sweeping
along. The house was lifted from its
foundation in an instant, and went sailing
through the air with the family, furniture,
chimneys, supper, &c, all on board
Twice during the perilous passage it
struck the ground, but so lightly as to jar
only one plate from the supper table,
which, was not broken in its fall. When
the storm had passed it was found that
the house had been carried a distance of
about three hundred feel from its founda
tions. Nothing in it had been disturbed
not even the dishes upon the table
and when the family had recovered from
the fright, they sat down and quietly ate
their supper as usual. Peona Transcript,

CARD. Fellow Citizevs of ry
County : I take this method of introduc
ing myself as candidate for joint Council
man from the Counties of Washington,
Sarpy, and Burt, and would most respect
fully state in brief, my reasons for taking
such a position.
1st. 125 of my own townsmen, among
them are Judge Wakeley, Geo. E. Scott,
Esq., and other men of note, in point of
position, among us, requested me by peti
tion, to announce myself as the candidate
on the float.
2d. We deem it but an act of common
justice to Washington Co., on the part of
Sarpy Co., to give us the man, because we
heretofore supported the Sapy Co. candi
date, in 1856, with rather an implied
understanding that Washington should
come next in turn.
3d. We stand next in ratio of popula
tion to Sarpy County, and our people think
it but right that the float should be assign
ed us this year, at Brt County next north
of us, can of course have no claims to it,
having hardly one half the population of
Washington County.
4th. As I believe it to be generally con
ceded by your citizens that have Sarpy
County and Bellevue, most at heart, that
you cannot elect a man on the Float ibis
year, from your county, and in case yon fa
vor me with your votes, you may rely up
on my being as ever, in your interest '
