the secretaries of the Manchester and

nomena of mesmerism have become very
frequent of lute, and many people havo
been trying experiments in private in ref-
uronee to the same matter. It appears to
the committee of the Snnitiry associa
tion very important that publB* attention
should be called to tho dangers arising
out of such tampering with the highly
organized and nervous system <>f many

A freight wreck in the niountaius ou the

that it took twelve hours to clear them.
Tlio accident was the result of n

uprooting trees and blowing down fences
and outhouse:i. Near Couo.naugh a numbor
of empty freight cars wore standing on a
siding. The tornado picked thorn up and
carried them over to tho main track. A heavy
Mo-t-bound freight train of twenty-five cars,
going at the rate of thirty miles an hour,
