The Indians of California make breat

from grasshoppers. They drive the insects
into pits with branches of trees, when they
are easily caught and then put into bags.
The Indians have way of taking the wings
and legs from the hoppers By pressing on
the bags, leaving only the bodies. The in
sects are spread on canvas stretched upon
the ground in sunny spot, where they be-
come dry as leaves in course of week. The
boppers are then ground into fine powder
in .stone mortars, in the same manner as
corn, and afterwards made into bread. Old
Californians who have eaten the bread say
that it has pleasant taste, not unlike that
from wheat -four, and that it is just as
nourishing. The Indians like it better than
wheat bread.

The Recent Storm in Iowa.

MASON CITY, Iowa, June l6.-The house
and barns of Mathew Reddy, several miles
from here in the country, were carried away
in the storm Sunday night, and the family
had fearful experience. There are hardly
boards enough left about the homestead to
build fire, not bit offurniture nor stitch
of clothing can be found the wreck is COM
plete. Mr.. Reddy's brother was hurled into
a field when the house went to pieces. MIR.
Reddy was left in sitting position on the
ground On looking around he saw by q
flash of lightning that his brother was
stretched dead some yards away. He pick
ed him up and carried him into an under
ground milk house. HeI then commenced
search for his wife and found her in her
night clothes some ten rods from the house
in cornfeld; she was also carried to the
milk house. He next looked for his ive-year-
old boy, searching by the light of the cleo
trio flashes, and at last discovered the infant
thirty rods from where the house had stood.
The boy was almost driven into the mud.
When they were gathered into the milk
house their injuries were discovered to be
severe, and the mother and child will hard,
ly live. The brother had both ears split,
his head gashed and his shoulder cut and
bruised. The wife had three gashes on her
forehead, one on her nose, a big cut in the
back, bruises on her legs, and is injured in
te1nally. All three we're beaten black and
| blue all over their bodies by the hail.

GENERAL MALONE says there is now no
more good reason why the vile Bourbon
slauders against Southern republicans should
b, received as truth than that the like
ISLANDERS from Northern democratic and
mugwump sources against Northern repub

rough on the Generals pet, Mr.. John Wise,
for he is the man who said that Southern
republicans are apostates for the price OF
their apostacy." 1t is also rather rough on
the General himself, for he endorsed Mr..

The Cholera.

MADRID, June 16.-There were new
cases of cholera in this city yesterday, and
one death from the same disease. In the
city of Valencia there were two fresh eases.
but no deaths. In the province ofValencia,
however, outside of the city, there were for.
ty-eght new cases and twenty-seven deaths,
The city Of Murcia reports forty new cases
and seven deaths, while the other parts of
the province of Murcia return twelve fresh
cases and four deaths.
In the province of Castellon de la Plana,
yesterday, there were eighty cases of chole'
ra and sixty deaths Thirty thousand peo-
pie have fed from Murcia owing to the ter
rible dred of the disease which has taken
possession of the people. In the city OF
Murcia alone yesterday there were, accord.
ing to the latest returns, sixty-four fresh
cases of cholera, and thirty-nine deaths. In
the province of Murc:a, outside of the city,
there were fifty cases of cholera and sixteen
deaths within the same period. The Official
Gazette confirms the statement that cholera
is raging in the provinces of Valencia, Gas.
tellon de la Plana and Murcia, and in the
city of Madrid. The Opposition" news
papers, on the contrary, deny that cholera
exists in Madrid, and say that all testimony
regarding the suspicious cases is insufficient
to give warrant for the assertion that they
are cases of cholera.
