The Windiest City.

A citizen of Buffalo, who had been reproached with living in the windiest city in the land, wrote, some years since, to General Myers for the statistics on the subject. In reply he received a table which he has just published in the Buffalo Courier, showing the quantity of wind, measured in miles, which passed over the principal cities of the United States during the year ending November 30, 1874. The following is the table: Names of Cities. Miles. Names of Cities. Miles.

Milwaukee has the doubtful honor of being the windiest city in the land. One thing that is injuring the health oi smokers is the paris green which farmers put on their potato vines to kill the potato bugs. Either some law will have to be passed to prevent the use of paris green on potato vines, or else a law will have to be made compelling manufacturers to use tobacco in making cigars,— fioonuronp,
