WATERSPOUT.—It is not frequent that those ter-
rible things, waterspouts, spend their powers upon land.
Like the petrel, a stray one, however, is occasionally
caught on the hills, and, bursting, deluges the plains that
lie below. On the night of the 19th ult. one of these
watery visitants expended itself on the hill above Inver-
n3orriston House. The noise was awful ; and before the
cause could be conjectured—for in the darkness the
cloud could not be descried—the rivulets had become
changed into headlong, red,. and destructive torrents.
Trees were torn from their roots by the sudden and
powerful inundation, and the ledges of two bridges were
carried away by the Invermorriston burn. At one place
it made a new channel for itself. Thy: houses on the
banks were inundated, and considerable alarm was felt
by the people.—lnverness Courier.
THE WARMTH OF TWO BLANKETS FOR THREE-
PENCE.—Few persons are, we apprehend, aware that two
sheets of imperial cap brown paper, pasted at the edge
to form one (and at a cost less than 3d.), if laid over a
hed with one blanket under, will produce more warmth
than three ordinary blankets, or over a single coverlet
will be warmer than one blanket only, and will last, with
a little care, the whole winter.—Library of Secrets and
Wrinkles.
