The Gale.

The city was visited by most terrific gale last
Saturday evening. which did some cons iderable
damage; and caused pedestrians to seek safety
in the lee of come friendly shelter. The barn of
Mr. N. 8. Hyde on Pearl street near West Main,
was blown down, some of the pieces striking the
cars of the accommodation train standing on the
track near by, breaking thee or four windows.
A shop near the east end Of Grand street bridge,
belonging to the Bailey family, was blown over
The building is about half ruined. The old build
ing on Exchange street, known as Peter Woods
dry-house was completely demolished. Two
Windmills in the western part Of the city were
rendered useless for the time being Several
trees were uprooted; number of chimneys and
batoiements were unhoused, many fences blown
down, and large number of chimneys cleaned
out by natures chimney sweeps-wind end fire.
Two windows in the Express office, one in the
upper story ofDan. Heads bank building, one at
Kupfer's bakery, one front window of the Grant
House, ard window OF Mrs Brockets conser-
vatory were broken out by the force of the lorna
do. The piles Of lumber IN the yards were un-
capped and the lumber scattered around in very
promiscuous manner. Taking it all in all, Ken
osha has not been visited by so fierce breeze in
8 long time.

New Tear.

AS is customary, the observances and paepara-
tons for the new year began Friday evening.
Services Of religious character were held in the
Lutheran and Methodist churches, north side.
There were three dancing parties: The Fly-Aways
at Simmons Reading Room, grand dance at
Simmons Hall, and an old years wake at Schends
New Years day was misty. muddy, rainy, and
disagreeable; ard as far as the weather is CON
cerned, was far from being a Happy New Year
ana the day closed with most violent gale from
the southwest. Religious services we've held in
several of the churches: At ST. Matthew's were
held services appropriate TO the day At st
Marks, two masses were given IN the forenoon;
and at Sts Georges two masses In the forenoon
and yespers IN the afternoon. The Indictment
weather interfered somewhat with the number OF
New Years Calls; and some who had made ar
rangements to receive, changed their minds and
hung baskets at the door to hold the cards, and
thus saved their carpets from becoming eoiled
Some OF our young mel-snd some of the Older
ones, too, for that matter-disgraced the mselves
and their families by INDUCING too much in the
cup that intoxicates but, as this appears to be in
the regular order of society we let il pass with
out further comment.

COURT OF BABYLON.

The rendition cf the Oratorio, "The
Court of Babylon" by home talens, IN
der the direction and assistance of the
we'll known Baker Family, last Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings was one of the
features of last week. Though the
weather was very unpropitious, still
Kimball Hall was we'll filed. Of the
celebrated Baker Family, the TELE.
GRAPH need say bua little. The sue
cess with which they have followed the
concert business for The past thirty years
is sufficient commentator. The local
singers did excellcntly well. Mrs.
Bailey's Queen was as nearly perfect
as any amateur could and her sweet,
plaintive voice seemed perfectly adapted
to The character. while her acting was
very fine. Miss Tarbell, as the Daugh-
ter of Zion was beautiful Miss Seeley
as Salome, devout Jewess, sang very
sweetly !; and her prayer solo was one of
the best solos of the evening. The Misses
Archer and Dodge as the Royal Maids
sustained their parts in very satisfac-
tory manner. Their solos and duets
were excellent. Miss Benefits singing
and acting was fine. Miss B. has a
sweet voice, and piquaLcy OF manner
which makes her inpersonati0ns quite
attractive. Miss Clary sang her solos
very beautifully; and her strong, clear
tones led the chorhses in the best of
time. Mr.. Redeker as Prince of the
Royal Family did finely. His solos, and
his duets with Mr.. J. a.. Baker, were
splendid The four Twinkling Little
Stars of the. evening were the little
Misses Lewis, Baker, Ernst and Flanna-
CHAN, as Palace Maids and Pages, fitting
here and there like sunbeams through
the clouds. Such entertainments are
the kind that should be patronized and
encouraged. The TELEGRAPH would
rather notice such. than great many
kinds with which the city has been
furnished IN the past.

TRAITS OF THE SHARK.-When all
the blubber and fat has been removed
from the carcass of the whale by the
Trinidad fishermen, it is usually towed
out, and allowed TO drift with the current
as bait for shark, while large canoes,
filled somewhat in the style of whaleboat,
follow 1t, TO harpoon any of those fish
that may come within range. Shaking
is rather good sport in itself, and is at
the same time very renumerative, on ac-
count of the quality Of oil that may be
obtained from the liver. The shark ia
killed much in the same way es the whale,
being first harpooned and then lanced till
1t was exhausted, after which its liver is
cut out and placed in the boat.
The liver is four or five feet long, and
large one will give as much as fifteen
or sixteen gallons Of oil. Though sharks
In these parts are numerous, yet accidents
while bathing, or even when boats are
swamped at sea, are rare and they will
not touch a human being, even when in
water alongside whale that is cut ND.
Several instances are we'll authenticated
where persons have thus fallen amono
them and escaped injury, the shark pre-
ferring the blubber and flesh of the whale
TO human flesh. No doubt if the person
Immersed was wounded, so as TO cause
blood 10 How, sharks would eat him as
readily as the whale. When in great
numbers they will eat one of their own
kind that has been severely wounded,
and on such occasions rush at the BODY
80 hereely as To force IL above the surface.
