Cyclones In British Indla--Alleged Loss
OF Ten Thousand Lives.

The second Of the two hurricanes which
visited Bengal on the 10th of May and the
9th OF June was very destructive, but far
inferior in violence to the terrible storms
Of 1864 and 1867. The plantains, the pau
leaf, which Is chewed With the betel nut,
were ruined, but the other crops escaped.
Calcutta business was entirely suspended.
Few merchants were able to reach their
places of business, and those Who did
found themselves minus their native en-
ployes.
The roof Of Lock Hospital fell in, kill.
ing two women and wounding nine others
Trees were blown down, brick houses were
injured, and huts were generally leveled
with the ground wherever they were not
sheltered. The shipping rode out with
Few casualties, bat cargo boats were swept
away, and some lives must have been lost.
In the country the huts of the peasantry
were blown down in all directions, except
where they were protected by thick trees.
No news of shipping disasters had comein
when the mail left. One paper asserts that
ten thousand lives were lost by the first
cyclone, that of May 10th.

A PHRNoMEEoN.-One of the most sim
gula- and perplexing phenomena on record
was observed by several gentlemen in this
city Saturday afternoon. The water in
Osvego river suddenly fell about foot be-
Low its present mark, and within about ten
minutes rose about the same distance
above the point where il tefore stood and
row stands. This was repeated two or
three times. The phenomenon, of course,
must have embraced similar rise and fall
along the entire river and in Lake Ontario.
Old inhabitants say that such a thing has
been observed in this city before, but no
satisfactory explanation has ever been rem
dered.- 0s,cego Advertiser, l2g

THE LATEST LfPRovRNENr.-One Of the
latest things out for an improvement is that
Of a. @. Goodrich's Patent Combined Hem
and Tuck Measure aud Marker This attach
ment is simple and durable, and can be at
tached to any sewing machine. sBy use of
this attachment each succeeding tuck is meas
ured and marked out true and parallel with
the last line of stitching while the same is
being sewed. When We take into considera-
ton the beauty of the work done, and the
ease and facility with which il is accomplished,
We do nOi hesitate to say that no attachment
heretofore used on q machine is so simple
and easily managed, and does all it's work
with such precision as the New Tuck Meas
ure and Marker, as now applied to all sewing
machines. All sdies who use . machine wen
know the length Of time required toImeasure,
mark and fold the tuck above that taken to
do tho sewing of the same. To say that Ave
seams around an ordinary skirt, of four or
i've yards each, can be sewed in the time re-
quirel TO measure, mark and fold one tuck,
is only repeating fact well known to all.
But now, IL tuck can be measured and
marked out true and parallel with the line of
stitching while the same is being sewed, then
at least four times as much work can be done
in given time, and in superior manner in
comparison to that done in the ordinary way.
These attachments may be found at all sew
ing machine Offices throughout the United
States, where circulars and all information
may be; had, or circulars sent on application,
by addressing the patentee, H. G. GOODRICH.

SHAKEN UP.--When the wind storm came
up in Hunterdon. n. j., last Friday after
noon, George Kuhl, of Copper Hill, was
just tying the cap-sheafof stack of wheat.
The wind struck the stack, and Mr.. Kuhl
found himself sliding off with the top, and
landed in the wagon, which was standing
alongside. A ladder standing against the
stack was blown over. striking the mules
across the back, which frightened them,
and away they went over the fields on q
wild run for the barn. On their way they
took short cut through the peach orchard,
running against more than thirty peach
trees, of four years growth, every one of
which was either broken off or torn out
Mr.. X. remained in the wagon all the time,
and says he never had such jolting up as
he then experienced.

An EGG SToRY.-At Bigfoot there is-and
has been for several years-a fiourishing So
ciety of Seven-Day Baptists. As commu-
nifty they are honest, industrious, and thrift
ty; and the members are noted for their
c0nscientiousness In matters, of deal.
Squire Bell. (who used to live among them)
tells o good story, 20 which he was person
ally Knowing, illustrative Of this nBlacter-
islc.
Smith and Jones were near neighbors,
and asit is customary in the country, the
two families were in the habit of exchanging
those little domestic civilities common to
people OF like faith and generous impulses
borrowing, lending. changing works" &c,
One day when Mrs. Smith called on Mrs.
Jones, the latter chanced to remark that
her hens were not conducting themselves
with strict propriety; none of thom inclined
to lay, but all wanted to set
"Why?" said Mrs. Smith its Just the
other way with mine; they all persist in
laying, but not ole can be induced to set.
1 would like to bring over some eggs, and
'sset 'em under one Of your hens" This
was at once agreed to. and the eggs duly fur
nished and hatcned. In good time Mrs.
s. reclaimed the brood, and rejoiced in tie
possession Of nice covey Of dorkins.
A,year or two afterward, Mr.. Jones sold
out, and followed the star of empire vest
ward. He had settled with all the neigh
bors, Smith among the rest, and started
on his journey. When he had got about o
half mile out thought struck him, and
he turned back. Hating at the door of the
astonished Smith, he reminded him that
in their settlement, one item was forgotten.
whats that ?" said Smith.
"Well, You know said Jones, '.your wife
had some eggs hatched by one of my wife's
hens, and didn't think OF it when ye set
tied"
"Thats So" said Smith, show much
ought it to BET"
"Well, said Jones, sTve been thinking
1t over, and guess il ought TO be about
seren cents"
Smith paid the money and Jones went
on his way rejoicing. - Whitesoair Register.

THERE is no mistake about il, PLANTATION
BITTErs will ward of Fever and Ague and all
kindred diseases if used in time. No family
need suffer from this distressing complaint
if they will keep PLANTATION BITTERs in the
house, and use it according to directions.
The most important ingredient of this medi-
cine is Calissys or Peruvian Bark, which Is
known to be the finest and purest tonic in
the vegetable kingdom. The extract of this
Bark is the active principle of all the good
Fever and Ague Medicines prescribed By in
telligent doctors. Calisaya Bark is used ex-
tepsfyely in the manufacture of PLANTATION
BIrTERs, as well as quinine, and We dare say
they owe their popularity mostly to that fact.
We can recommend them. .i@
