Goulburn (New South Wales) disrrict was recently visited by a cyclone .hat did much damage. On the hank of, the Wollondilly, near Hossiville, a grazier had some cattle. The willows along the river afforded excellent shelter. The terrific wind swept along the valley and bent the big willows double. A bullock was feeding directly under the fork ol a tall tree when the hurricane burst. The tree, writhing almost double, whirled downward, the forked branch gripping the ox from neck to flank and closing on the doomed animal like a living vice. To an onlooker it seemed as it the tree nad bent and picked the animal off the ground. One instant the bullock was feeding, the next he was swinging in mid-air, the life crushed out of him by the forked branch. After the wind had dropped the carcase was so tightly held that the branch had to be sawn through to release it.
