We were visited, on Tuesday night, By tho
toughest storm OF the season. The rain fell
in torrents, and the wind Was 30 severe - TO
create great damage in different parts Of the
city. Many fruit and ornamental trees wefs
ruined, some being broken in pieces, and otli-
ers torn up by the roots. The roof OF the
Marine Hospital was torn of, and scattered
to great distance, and the upper story OF the
building very badly injured. The roof OF .
house belonging to Mr.. Endsley, in South
Burlington, was torn OF and demolished
Several windows in the observatory OF Mr..
wilkins boarding house, on Third street,
were blown out, and the sash torn and scat
tered through the halls below. The roof Of
Mr.. Wemer's brick dwelling house, on the
Fort Madison road, was blown from the house
into Major Collins yard, near by; and the
gable was blown-in. A stable in the same
neighborhood was blown down. A chimney
was blown from the residence of John g..
Foote, ESQ.,, on Sixth street. Several other
similar accidents occurred in different por-
tions of the city. The Marine Hospital suf-
fered more severely than any other building.
The storm appeared to be most furious and
destructive in the southern part Of the city.
Fortunately no bodily injury was sustained
by any person.-[B burlington Hawkeye, 10th.

NAKINu MrrroS.-The coarse wooded
sheep, when well bred, will undoubtedly furn-
i-h more mutton for the food consumed than
the iino wooded sheep, and, other things be-
ing equal, would be the mos, profitable sheep
for httoning in winter. But as the common
sheep of the country can be purchased cheap
or in tho fall than well bred mutton sheep,
greater profit is often realized from them
than from the English breeds. Mutton IL
much higher in the spring than in tho fall,
and profits Of fattening sheep in tho winter
depend as much on this increased value OF
mutton as in the increased weight Of the
sheep. 1t Is doubtful whether we could nf-
ford to fatten sheep in winter, If we had TO
pay ak cents pound for the sheep in. the
fall and sell them for six cents a pound in
the spring, depending on the increase ofmut-
ton and wool to pay Tor the food aud trsuhic ,
but five can buy AT three cents and sell for
eight or nine, the profits ard very considerable.
