DEAR SIR: have been using one Of your
Straw Cutters for some three or four months,
and am satisfied that its advantages over all
others, are such that it will recommend itself to
every observer. Its adaptedness to cutting all
kinds of grain, in any desirable length, its security
to the operator, the minimum of power required
to keep it in operation, the dispatch with which
it executes its work, combined with its simplicity
and durability, must make it invaluable to every

BUFFALO, May 2, 1891,
A dreadful storm and gale visited this
city yesterday morning, doing great
damage.
Early yesterday morning the wind
commenced blowing iuriously from the
West, and in the course Of two hours
the water in the harbor was raised about
three ieet above its ordinary level.
The water in the canal at noon was
about three inches over the towpa'h,
and st II rising.
The shipping in the harbor has sus-
tained much damage in the loss OF sails
and rigging.
The brig J. Y. Scamm,n was COM
PEELED to put back on account Of the
severity Of the gale On entering the
harbor she dropped both ancho's,
which however did not chec1 her pro-
gress, when she ran foul Of the canal
boat Blue Bell.
A passenger named Hiram Burbanks,
aged Is years, was coming from the
cabin when the brig struck the bow OF
the boat. MIR. BIS legs became enlan-
glcd in the fore chains, breaking the
left leg above the knee and horribly
decorating the right leg from the knee
to the thigh, laying open the flesh and
exposing the bone. Medical aid was
at once obtained and it 10 thought he
will recover.
During the squall which the Seam
mon encountered, her topgallant sail
was rent TO ribbons, besides suffering
other damages.
The brig Montezuma, in entering the
harbor, ran into the steamer Empire,
forcing her bowsprit into the after cabin
Of the steamer.
We learn that the schooner Sylph
was sunk, in consequence Of a collision
with large vessel in The harbor.
The schooner Mount Vernon was al
so driven ack by the force of the gale.
She sustained no damage.
