Ker Yhyettevilto, Trnn., shortly after tb recent cyclone which did bo much damage In that state and Kentucky, old Jed Tornpkirm, colored, was hauled up bo fore Squire Nnaon for stealing one of CoL JSallentyno's sheep. Bcforo the trial tho squire, the colonel, Jed and scrcrnl others were lounging in front of tho squire's dingy little otuco, all bands, with tho exception of Jed, relating Incidents of tho terrible storm; the squire winding up with n trvo ou his farm from which tho wind had stripped tho bark, and the colonel "seeing" this with a brick wall on his place through which the tornado had driven a wheat straw. On the trial the evidence was all against Jed, the colonel Identifying the sheep. which had been found hanging upon Jed's back porch. "I'll lmvu to hold you, old man, unless you can explain how that tthivp came there," said tho magistrate. "Caln't 'splaiu, 'square," Jed answered. "Wen I got up in de raawulu' dat sheep was Jes layin' dar." "Aid you don't know who brought it there!" ".No, suh 'lesan de cyclome blowed it dar." "Ahal 'Lesan de cyclome blowed1 it dar, ehf And did you over see a cyclone that could skin a sheep t" "So, suh, I cain't say as I has, lesan twar dat same cyclome what peeled 'Square Noson's tree en driv de straw throo Col. Ballentvne's wall." The squire pulled up his specs and took a long look at Jed, and the colonel arose and stated that he would not prosecute the case further, as this was the first cyclone that bad ever blown any of his property into Jed's possession.

Senator Dolph this week soveroly criticised the parsimony of tho govern ment in the matter of expenditures for public land surveys. He claimed that before tho Spark's regime there was a disposition to appropriate all the monry necessary for surveying public lands, ind there was no apparent attempt to arrest or stop the development of the (jreat Northwest. The admNsion of the four new states has given that country noie jHiwer in congress and the in fluence uf these additional states ha. been felt in the senate, and when it wns increased to 1C0O.00O for surveys, the conferrees had seen fit to cut the amount down, so that now it was 110 more than usual. After Siia'ks had i-uuie into power, eveiy hvtth-r in the Northwest was treated as a rabcul, as a man at tempting to Meal government laud.

Senator Allen says the amount which was cut olffiom the land appropriation could have been prtfitubly expended in 'be state of Washington alone. Fishermen at Alaska are having a mrd time ttith a new disease which has -iroken out among them. Kish uic caught in laige nets, from which thoy aie removed by hand. Lately, after this work, many men have been attack ed in the hand and arm by seiious blood poisoning. Hand and arm increased 10 a horrible tiize and took onaleadon hue. Then the swelling commenced to sub side, when running soies broke through the tightened skin, and, in cirect, thu arm was more than half paralyzed. The swelling was accompanied by a dull pain iu the head, with u fulling away of -iiierigth and a complete exhaustion, die sufferers multiplied rapidly, until nearly one iiulf of the liuhuiineu weif down. No deaths lusulted, to the cuow ledge of the narrator, but 110 coin ulete cuics were directed. Whou thu welling subsided thu koiea continued in a more or less active state. The - ouhlu created a pauiu among fishers, and thuy commenced to f 01 take their ork. There was no docternearur than Ounulaekn, and bandages and poultices telped a little to ease the pains of tho juflerers. Tho case is a novel ono in medical science.
