took place Oct IL, 1877. The word cyclone does
not appear in paper published in Northern

BROOKLYN woman claims $3.50 for damages
caused by water which was shaken upon her
from awning. A bill of particulars as to how
she had been damaged is as follows:
Bonnet $l2; dress, 3d. gloves, ST. medicine. 81;
loss of time from business 500; bodily pain and
suffering, 1925 Total, $3.50.
The last item is light estimate, and shows
the lady to be made of stern stuff. Any ordi-
nary woman would have suffered far more than
one hundred and twenty-five dollars worth of
anguish in contemplating the ruin of twelve

A CREDULoUs world is ready to believe great
many curious things, and among others, accepts,
without much hesitation, some very marvellous
faithcure stories. The tale, however, about the
beautiful Brooklyn girl, who has been snatched
from the jaws of death by the prayers of a
steamboat captain. passes just trife beyond
the limits of belief It is too much. Steamboat
captains, it cannot be denied, often use scrip

what this has to do with plain and ornamental
drunkenness does not appear. May rings be re-

been partially explored, and up to last accounts
no less than forty-six needless in various stages
of corrosion, had been recovered The woman
claims that she does not know how they got
there. The only thing we would suggest would
be for the husband to see that she gets plenty of
iron and then go into the business of peddling
needles.
A SOUTH CAROLINA beauty, of social promi-

people who can excuse girl who runs away

can get rid of him.
