D-THUNDER STORM AT MISUNDERSTANDING
learn from the Wisconsin, that on Friday eve
ming last about o'clock as a storm was passing
over the city, the lightning struck house own
ed and occupied by Mr.. Rowley, and causied a
great deal Of damage. The editor of the Wis
consn, in his inmitable style, gives the par!icu-
lar damage done by the main Bolt of thunder,
and enlarges like lightning king upon the eff
feet of different parts of the shattered and flying
thunder Bolt. Also between / and II o'clock
on the same night, a house owned by a Mr. Lane,
was considerably injured by thunder Bolt,-no
persons were living in it at the time, providenti-
ally. The adjoining tanements were slightly in
jured, one of them contains 10 and the other 6
inhabitants. C.

believe, for fish arder. Ii is native of North

habItants of South America, as well as the Chi
neso train this bird to fish for them, they tie Il
string around the neck OF the bird so that it can
not swallow. The bird comes home with his
pouch full of fish; the Master then takes the
string oil, gives him or of the fish to eat, AMI
appropriatos the rest to his own use. c.

the District Attorney will receive about the sum
Of three hundred dollars, and that the expense Of
the two counties for the attendance of Witnesses,

as much more?
