The Marahfield tornado passed directly over several building* with shingle roofs, and tore to fragments V Others, not more exposed, which had metal roofs. A mill, situated over a quarter of a mile away from the oontrc of the cyofane, had its iron ohimuey torn out a long distance, while the mil: itself suffered very little damage. Th< cupola of a public school buildings, which had a tin roof was wrecked, but another, which was rpofed with shingles, was not injured to any extent. The hark was stripped from the trees and buahes not alone on those sides exposed to the force of the cyclone, but on all tides. The ends of the branches were not only dunuded of their leaves and hark, but were rifted into fine fibers, so that thay presented the appearance of little broom. Tha activo agent in such cases, Prof. Hce insists, was not wind, but aleotriaity.

A correspondent of Land and Water, writing from San Francisco, describes a fly made by the Indians of Kings river, Col., and used by them for fishing. The hook, he says, is taado out of a piece of iron wire. It has no barb, but the portion of the shank of the hook not covered by the fly, and down to the bend is wound with a tlbrous substance resembling flax, which prevents, in some degree, the fish from slipping or getting off when once hooked. Before tho Indians got iron or iron wire to make the hook, they made it from the tibia or shank -bone of the deer, as being the hardest and closest grain part of the bone. The fly, although a little roughly put together, is beautifully made, closely representing when cast on the water, that which it is intended it should — the caterpillar. . It is. made from tha bairs t*1-*- fr^~ a d*«r'« hock, — ~ A* *" » p . ■

^ * ' - '* ' a*.-- if tne "wart ' on ^ ./um which there is also a scent. In tying tho fly they turn the hairs up tho shaft of tho hook, so that when the fly- is thrown and drawn ucross up or down tho stream, the action of tho water causes tho hail's — of a reddish tint— to spread out. When the strain on tho lino slackens the hairs spring back, and the movement so produced of opening and closing the hairs gives to the fly the lifelike action and appearance of a caterpillar. These Indians say that tho mountain trout will take this fly when they will not look at any other form of bait. The line is made from a fine fibrous plant resembling what is called the "milk" plant, of which there arc three known varieties on this continent. It as strong as the best silk line ever cast, with the advantage of being considerably lighter. » ♦ » All Going Together. Jerry Black is a firm believor in oldtime orthodoxy.

A man who had his coat on his arm and his hat in his hand, yesterday, entered a butcher shop on Woodward avenue and began : "Say, sir, one of your carts knocked me down on Park street half an hour ago, and I'm going to have satisfaction I" "One of my carts ? I guess not. William ! William 1" William made his appearance from the back room and the butcher said: "William, this man accuses you of running him down with tho cart this morning on Park street." "I don't think it," was the reply. "Well, I know.it!" shouted the man, as he drew down his hfit. "Whereabouts on Park?" "At the corner of High !" "Ah! then, it couldn't have boon," said the driver. "Here is the route I took : 1 first went up Woodward avenue, and ran over a hoy at the corner of Alfered ftrcet. Then I went down <*harlotte and took n wheel otT a carriage. Down at the corner of Cass I run down a boy and a velocipede. I came dfrwn Cam to Sproat. and out again to Woodward, where i expect 1 ran over two women and a horse, and then came ! directly here. It couldn't have been me, sir." "Then who whA it?" "Indeed, I couldn't say, sir; but a few doors above this is a butcher who has three enrts. If it was him he'll own up and he glad to see you, for he's keeping n record of the killed and wounded to show off* the rest of us. You'd better try him, sir." — Frkr Prrss. Odds and Ends .
