A terrible storm of wind and rain passed over Northern Kansas and Southern Nebraska on Friday evening. Ileuses were blown in all directions, trees torn up by the roots and consider- able damage done to the crops. It was most rapid between Blue Rapids and Centennial stations ani' the branch railroad. The storm moved in a direo• tion a little north of east, and passed into Nebraska through Richardson county. The town of Irving, ninety miles from Atohison, Kansas, was near- ly destroyed. Forty buildings were destroyed and fifteen persona killed. Amour/ the buildings blown down are two churches, one a fine stone building, a public school, grain elevator, railroad depot, and the Wedmore Institute. Iu the neighborhood of Frankfort four or five farm houses were blown over. At Centralia several houses were unroofed.' Harris, a man living iu Iudepeudeuee, was lifted high up into the air, parried 200 feet, and then dashed to the earth, while his wife and child were carried some distance in another direction. At Independence, a storm -cloud burst,but came together again alutost instantly with a terrific crash, bounded from the earth, and calve down agate near the dwelling of Mr. Gore, which it passed through, leaviug the side walls stand- ing, funnel shaped. The cloud then rose high in the air, and disappeared in the north-west. The heaviest rain ever known iu that section accompanied the tornado, deluging the country it pas- sed. A Concordia despatch states that the storm was (sxtt emely violent iu the vicinity of Delphos, Ottawa County. Fifteen dead bodies were brought in from two square miles of territory. One .nan trom Beloit was taken up in his wagon,thrown to the ground agait :and instantly killed. A woman and a child were thrown against a wire fence and killed. Five persons were killed in one house near Delphos. The citizens of Atebeson have raised $1,200 for the re- lief of the sufferers. Duke of Argle. The Scythia arrived at New York on Tuesday afternoon, and among her pas- sengers were the Duke of Argyle, his son, Lord Walter Campbell, and his two daughters, Lady Mary and Lady Elizabeth Campbell with their attend- ants. After the ducal party landed they entered a carriage, which was in waiting at the dock, and were driven to the Windsor Hotel. In course of cen- se s atiun, His Grace remarked that his stay in the city would not exceed be- yond to -morrow, when he intended to take the train for Canada, and while here he would accept of no hopitalities, but would remain at nis hotel to re- cover from confinement on board ship and efiects of a sea voyage. He is ex- pected to return to Now York and em• bark for Europe about the 16th of July. Determined Suicide. Friday last a young farmer named Richard Henry Grant, aged 28 years, residing about a mile and a half from Caistorville, Caistor Township, Lin- coln County, committed suicide by shooting himself through the right temple with a revolver. The deceased, had, on the death of his father, Mr. Thomas Grant, succeeded to the man- agement of the farm, a responsibility, which, it appears, be considered too great to bear. On Friday morning, in consequence of the mistake of some hunters, the "hush" enrrounding his farm was enveloped in flames, and the work of fighting those exhausted not only the physical energies of the de- ceaeed, but of several others. The young man had also been paying at- tention to a young lady in the neigh- borhood, with whom he had a quarrel.

McLean, of Seaforth,met with a very peculiar accident a few days elute, which resulted in her death. She was untied in a box stall, and while feeding got her bead fast iu the hole in the box containing the hay, and before she could be extricated was strangled. The hay was contained in a square box or funnel leading from the loft to the stall, with a hole in the ' side to feed from. This hole was rather large, and iu ;reaching for the . hay she got her head in too far and could nut got it out again, and in struggling fell down,with her throat on the edge of the manger, straugting herself.
