A CLOUD BURsT.--A few weeks ago a
rain cloud burst and washed away the
road bed of the Houesdale branch of the
Erie Railway for the distance of about
one hundred feet Cloud bursts are of
infrequent occurrence in the Atlantic
States but they are quite common in
Nevada and elsewhere in the extreme
West. A cloud burst is not water
spout, though the two are often con
founded IN the popular mil d A water
spout results from a whirlwind which
gathers quantity of water from the
face of the ocean or some other broad
surface, and whirls it upward and
through the air. Cloud bursts occur in
the summer during heavy thunder storms
and are simply rain showers of sudden
and extraordinary violence. An over
laden cloud suddenly condenses, and the
water of which il is cols2osed falls to the
earth in torrents. In mountainous
country like Nevada the results of a
cloud-buyst are often terrible. So sad.
den is the flood, that sometimes where
not drop of water has been seen for
months, large turbulent torrent all at
once comes pouring down. washing
away trees, houses, roads, rocks and
everything that comes in its way. One

WooL.-For many years to come,
California and the Territories of the far
West will form the great wool-producing
section Of the country. In California
this interest has already acquired great

600 pounds, or Is, 900, 00J more than the
total product of the United States in
1861. This springs clip, however, is
not expected to yield over four and a
half pounds, instead of six. which is the
average for the spring clip alone. The
spring clip is expected to bring thirty
five cents pound, returning over S12,-

that this now famous specific was intro

bottles per annum, can only be ascribed
to its intrinsic merits. 1t is believed that
the history of "patent medicines" affords
no example of success SO rapid and

this success is thoroughly deserved, and

Prison PuN,suxrSrs exchange

PRISON TOURNAMENTS. An exchange
gives tho following description OF prison
punishments In use only few years ago.
The bed Of roses, a mode OF punishment
devised by a con, OF, has been done away
with. This bed consisted of dark cell
whose floor was covered all over with
hard wooden balls fastened SO securely
that they could not be moved. C0nvicts
were forced to enter this cell and lie for
days upon this couch Ito lie there until
their flesh bore great dents aud their
bones ached with thousand aches from
the pressure of the hard knobs. Then
there was another favorite instrument OF
punishment which has happily been dis
pensed with. This was termed the cruel
tix-and consisted of a long iron bar
weighing seventy-fiye or hundred
pounds. This was 30 arranged that when
the arms OF the man to be punished were
extended each rist was attached to an
end Of the ban, and clasp from the
centre attached around his neck. Thus
il was impossible for him to move his
arms in any position. myself have
seen a convict stand until he fell from
exhaustion, and then was again lifted to
his feet by two brother prisoners. When
he fell again it was IN faint, and with
the blood gushing from his nostrils and
mouth. The cage. which is still in use,
we saw while walking through the prison
yard. This consists Of eli cular cage of
hoped steel, which is made to fit over
the convicfs head ant fasten around his
heck. 1t is impossible to lie down with
this head. dress, for one runs the risk of
being strangled to death. if he presses
heavily upon the cage. Men are often
required 10 wear this for several days in
succession.

The FASHIONS. "A fashion journal says
the effort to Danish polonaises will fail.
These garments are SO easily made, so
graceful, so convenient and comfortable,
that ladies' will not willingly relinquish
them. Tue fancy for skirts ruff]sd to the
waist behind, and worn with an apron
front and basque, will bring into favor
the polonaise lately introduced by Worth,
in which the basque and apron are com.
bined. This garment descends to the
knee in front, is sloped sharply upward
OH the sides, and has merely short has
que behind, dispensing with the long
hack breaths now used. A fully ruf1ed
skirt is worn with this, and is well dis.
played on the sides and back, making a
very dressy costume. Palmer suits will
have the simple sly lish rendigote defined
by Madame Raymond 10 he a "polonaise
without drapery." These over dresses
are being made at the furnishing houses.
They have two or three collars laid one

c"ats worn by our grandfathers. The
lowest collar is large enough to be called
a cape. A model costume is of gray aud

cote is gray the collars, cuffs, border,

LONDON MILK. London does not seem
to have any better luck, than New York
in the milk Queation. A report was made
to the Poor Law Board of England, by
Mr.. F. w Russell, superintendent of
Admiralty Contracts in London. on the
supply of provisions for the workhouse
of the metropolis. Fifty-seven samples
of milk so supplied were examined by
the most Trustworthy processes, and
showed the following results Only two
samples came under the designation
"be>t unskimmed milk - eight were
possibly neither skinned nor watered.
but simply ntser poor by nature-that
is to say, poor as yielded by the COW:
the remainder were either skinned or
watered, or both. Ten were 70 nd to be
totitlly skinned and very largely water.
ed, and no less than seven samples con-
sisted Of milk 80 per cent, water so per
cent. milk and water half and half.
Mr. Rowsell observes that though no
poisonous or deleterious matter was
found in the samples collected, dilution
or adulteration with water is shown to
such an extent as seriously to cOmpro-
mise the character of the milk, and to
make it utterly unreliable rs food for IN
fants or aged persons. The life of an
infant depends upon the quantum Of
nourishment in the milk given to it. A
list of the prices paid for milk under
workhouse contracts in force last year
shows that the charges made differed
greatly tho range was from I'D. to Is
per imperial gallon. The list shows
genuine milk supplied at SD. or Cd; and
1t shows l0d. charged for milk totally
