Do IllordzeYS Throw Stones? A ecientific traveller inlaid* was cautioned not to go near a certain landelip on theshore of a lake, =the monkeys would throw stones ot him. This advice, noterelly enough, only made him the more dealrous to visit the vote As I appros.thed the landslip, 1 new A number of barna monkeye =eh to the sides end ecrose the top of the alip,and preseatly pieces of loosened stoiie came tumbling down where 1 atop& 1 fully eatiefied myself that this was not merely aceidentel, for I die. tinotly saw oue monkey industriously, with both fore -paws and with obvione malice prepense, pushing the loose shinglee off the rock. I then tried the effect of throwing stones at them, and this made them quite angry, ansi the number of fragments which they get rolling was epeedily doubled. Tide, though it does not amount to the actual throwing of objects by monkeye as a means of offence, comes very near to the same thing, and, Makes me think that there may be truth in the stories of their throw. ing frnit ab people from trees. At all events, the general statement that the'aet of throwing things is never perform- ed by any animal except man is certainly not eorrect, as I have myself seen recently captured elephants project branches of too with the:design of hitting persons out of their reach. It 'seems strange to me why the various top -knotted breeds of fowls are everlast- ingly recommended for the farmer; tow common sense shows that hawks pick 'em Pp as fast as they digeat each meal. The Leghorn is the all-around farmfowl, active and healthy eath day. of the year; and it is indeed a .poor fancier or farmer filet cannot make $1.50 profit a year from each hen. The erested fowls are mom sub- ject to cold, and veep than the other breeds and are only fit as a "subject of ornament." The past few years have about demon- strated that tarred. paper ranks next to wood as a valuable material for building chicken houses. The silo experience of late years has proved that for wooden silo build- ings tarred paper is practically indispen- sable. The use of tarred paper is becoming so universal that there is hardly a good farm 'in the country where a roll of it cannot be found. Its use lessens the lumber bills materially. lt appears thet many thick- nesses of boards are used simply to keep out the air, The tarred paper will de this work equally well.

It appears that in 1836, when the Boston ansi Rrovidence Railroad Company was ehartered, Mr. john C. Dodge, of Attie - borough, conveyed a portion of his land in consideration that he and his family should ride free over the railroad as long as the land was used for railroad purposes. A grand- daughter of Mr. Dodge claims that she is entitled to the privileges named in the deed, and that the word family meant " descendants " of the grantor. The railroad tompany demurred on the ground. that the remedy of the plaintiff, if auy, is at law, and not in equity. Judge Allen overruled the demurrer, and expressed an opinion that under the deed the Boston and Providence Railroad Company would be required to carry free the descendants of Mr. Dodge for all time.

Albert Peale of Lewiston, Maine, in a letter to the Maine Pnrnier tete% I propose to tell ti few things that T knom in regard to farms in this section. * * * Adjoining the farlts on which I live,. there* a hum of a urea, with name *tut, barn ood, house peer but liehitable, land good or e smell trataness, that has been urged upon me for $0. On another tido of mo farm of 200 acres, buildings good, land good, with, an unusually prom -min fruit prospect. The owner will sell for a atun that 1 forbear to tante, as his IS an ereep. tional ease of discontent. These within three miles of Phillips village, on a good road. Running parallel to the road on which I live, about a mile distant, there is a road leading slow/ a high ridge of exotica laud on which there are eix farms, with broad fields that are mowed with a teething, good oreharde, with good buildinge, ample, neat and well kept. I was lately told that all these farms were for sale. Since then one of them has been sold, a farm that ought to carry twelve head of cattle and a hnn. dred sheep, for MO. The former owner is one of our smartest men, lant he was bound to get out, and sold as he did because he could not get more, Onthe river road, two and a half miles below Phillips' village, there is a farm with 100 notes Intervale with upland, the buildings ample, requiting alight repairs, that a few years ago was bought for $2,500. A few days ago it was sold for 51,500. The farm below this, the Saab Intervale farm in the region, a few years ago was rated at $3,500, I am in- formed that it can now be bought for 52,. 500. Another, an upland farm, five miles from the depot, some 100 acres very good land, not excessively stony, 50 acres that eau be plowed in one field, the barn the best and most costly of any in the region, the houee as good as the average on the best farms in the State, and an acque- duet bringing water to house and barn, and this can be had for two-thirds the cost of the buildings alone. And these, I think, are a hair average of the quality mid prices of farms that are offered for sale, after throw- ing out a few that are not worked as farms, but are turned out to pasture or forest. ComMenting on this account the Moncton, N.B., Times declares that in no section of the Maritime Provinces is there soh a con- dition of things ao ie here shown to exist in Maine, the condition of Canadian farmers being favorable by comparison. ) gem and the Baptists.
