The Nindiest CITY.

A citizen of Buffalo, who had been
reproached with living in the windiest
city in the land, wrote, some years
since, to General Myers for the statistics
on the subject. In reply he received a
table which he has just published in the
Buffalo Courier, showing the quantity
of wind, measured in miles, which passed
over the principal cities Of the United
States during the year ending Novem-

the butcher was saying, land I will give
you $50 for her; and good price it is
for the way cows are selling this season. {"
"I suppose will have to let her go, +"
answered Mr.. Bruce, sadly, "but it's
almost like selling one of the family"
" It's pity, truly" answered the
butcher, Sand am sorry for you, indeed
I am but, if you have to sell, why,

Mrs. Bruce covered her face with her
apron to hide the tears that would come,
but she uttered no complaints to make
her husbands duty harder than it was.
ALI this time Jack, the butchers son,
had been standing at the gate within

was with face really sad and full of pity
that he obeyed his fathers call to help

"Yes, it is a pity" answered the

"Don't you think, father" said Jack
again, that you could loan Farmer
Bruce the money and let them keep the
COW while longer? Things may ga

"That couldn't" answered his ia
