STORM NOTES.

Efforts to save the steamer Fairfax.
| ashore on Sow and Pigs ledge. at the en-
trance to Vineyard sound, have been
abandoned by the wrecking company, the
continued heavy weather of the past two
weeks having used her up. An effort will
be made TO blow up her decks, to save
the cargo.
An attempt was made early in the
week to float the recently wrecked
three-masted Portland schooner C. j.
willard in the bay below Lilbec, but
the snow storm of Monday night. pre-
vented the venture from being success
full, although it is thought she can be
floated this week.
The tug Bismarck arrived in Bucks
port. Wednesday afternoon, with the
threemaster S. C. Tryon in tow. The
Tryon went ashore at Fort Point cove
in the big gale of Nov. 27th, and has
remained stranded high and dry until
the Bismarck pulled her off. 1t is ex-
pected that she will be hauled out on
Fosg's marine railway for repairs.

of distress We're sent up and it was soon
seen that the other steamer was also
helpless. She was burning lights, but did
not reply to signals. \ collision was for
tunately avoided. although the Atlantic
was drifting fast. An effort was made TO
wear ship. but she would not answer her
helm. She was therefore hove to under

Wonderful is the care and labor
expended by Indian mothers upon the
cradles for their babies, oar papooses!
The richest embroidery, the most
skillful needlework aud weaving in
grass and wool are lavished upon the
strange cribs in which they carry or
leave their little ones.
Among all the Indian tribes these
cradles are more or less alike, con-
sisting of n hard unyielding board,
upon which the baby is fastened, COW
cred with soft buckskin, and provided
With flaps and pouches in which tho
pappoose is enveloped.
When the baby is put away in tn @
cradle, the mother troubles herself
little about it, other than to keep it
within sight or hearing, and, if she be
engaged in work, she thinks nothing
of standing it in a corner OF the lodge
or hanging ii up to tree. An Ameri.
can writer states that, on one of his
journeys through the Sioux territory,
he paused to kneel and drink Mt a
clear little stream rs he crossed. Sud.
denly his attention was arrested by
succession of queer cooling sounds,
that caused him to peer about in the
surrounding birch and poplar thicket,
where lie discesered five pappooses
slung to tho trees, amusing themselves
by winking and staring at one an
other, aud apparently as happy as
possible. Unfortunately. they caupht
sight Of the paleiace, and their amuse-
ment was brought to an abrupt termi-
nation; for, with one accord, they
began to howl in dismal and terrified
accents, So that, in less than n minute,
six or seven squaws came rushing
through the underwood to the rescue.
Happily, the intruder was not bear.
rs the mothers seemed to have feared.
and the tempest was quelled at once.

The Sawnsh.

The sawfsh is found in the greatest
perfection in the tropical seas, al
though it also inhabits the Mediter-
ranean. The weapon from which the
fish derives its name il a Hat, long
prolongation OF the head, on each
edge of which are set hard tooth-like
projections, curiously inserted into
the bone.
This fish has been known to employ
its saw in the attack of the whale,
burying the apparently inappropriate
weapon to the very root in the body
of the whale, nor are instances want
ing where the saw has been found
firmly imbedded in the hull of a ship.
The strength of the sawfsh is very
great. Captain Wilson gives an ac-
count of the capture of sawtish
measuring twenty-five feet in length,
and weighing nearly five tons. After
the fish had been entangled in net
for several hours, making violent
efforts to escape. Captain Wilson got
a rope firmly fixed round it's saw, and
set thirty men to haul at the rope.
The whole thirty could not move it
one inch, nor was it until one hundred
men had been pulling at the rope for
nearly tho whole of the day that they
succeeded in dragging it on shore.
Even then il made such violent strokes
with its saw that they were forced to
fasten strong guy ropes to prevent it
from cutting them to pieces 1t was
finally disabled by Spaninrd, who
cut through the joint of tho tail.
