It is there- fol'o, to the cellular and muscular tissue that the sensation of touch is is to be at- tributed, It is very common to find a softening of the muscular fibre. as au accompaniment or precursor of disease, that. may mislead, The same 'may be observed in the aged of both man and beast. A writer in the Cultivator and Country Gentlemau says that touch iffi to be dis- tinguished from that which portends bad health and old' age ,by its elasticity, its power to roplaee the to whn pressed, and by its spiiIgsensation. Melt ne o w s son f � t disease has a sluggish fieel, and moves slowly under the hand; to a less extent it is true, but something of the same that is manifested in the pressure .ef the fingers on a dropsical mb as compared with a healthy one. .In the one the indentations replace themselves .sluggishly, while in the other with al, ready elasticity, It will require much practice to become an adapt in this knowledge. Still many useful, lessons may be daily had by the examination and handling of one's own stock, Take -those animals that are known to accumulate fat readily, and largely, as the opposum or the bear, or any other known to take on fat readily, and you•will find a peculiarly mellow touch. Those breeds of swine, as the Bhinese and the Siamese, that are known to accumulate fat largely, as compared with some of the poorer wood breeds, will offer good and ready illustration. But probably the readi- est illustration will be found in man himself. All that cbivss of persoas dis- -to corpulency will be found to have a soft mellow touch, while those dispos- ed to leanness will be found tight and hard. This may be readily recognized in the shaking of hands. A very de- licate lady may ,sometimes be found to have a hard ;hand as well as a sharp tongue. Smooth soft skins will &;s1 bs found belonging to this class of persons. . Roto to Peed Horses. 'The Vermont Farmer says : " Mr. Emery, of Worcester, after trying sever• al ways of feeding cattle, has settled down on the following He feeds whole say with six quarts of bran and corn meal, half-and-half twice a day, wet. He has sed so for the last , year. His horses look finely, and he works them *hard, but at the same time he is a care - full man with a team. He intends to have them fed at stated times, once in twelve hours." Thisis much better than feeding meal alone, as the coarse bran (separates the particles of meal and pre- vents its packing sohard. as it other- wise would on the stomach of the horse, but even this is not a safe way with all horses. The concentrated food should be more divided with .coarse fodder. young and vigorous horses may stand it well for a few years, as their digestion is more active, but bran and meal -mixed in equal portions is too compact for pro- s digestion in most horses, and will in rt time be affected with colic and er stomach complaints.

About tliti•srinae time Idle parties who were or- t,oge l ill kitir'ellasing the right of way a , for the road had been requested to rend in a statement showing the amount which woilld be required ;for this purpose, A. survey had also been made trona Hyde Park, where the ex- isting route unites with the Great Western., to London., for the purpose, if necessary, of eonstructblig ti lute mete- pendent of the great 'Western, As the meetingwas award, publio notice had given given o£the intention. of the to apply to00112.. pally a) )1 l the Provincial 'Logia., l.lbtul'e for an amendment allowiu Y thein to make o devili,tions from the eAisting. lisle, which was understood to be main- ly for the purpose of enabling them to snake their line separate from the Great Western, if occasion should require. Ice thought these facts would show that the Directors were in earnest in their determination to carry through thoonterprise tocompletion. This was also the opinion in London., as was shown by the following report, which appeared in the Mail, of December 16th :-- "The railway committee of the City Council, aocor ing to previous instruction, h ave waited upon the Directors of the London, Huron & Bruce Railway, to elicit ¢explanations in regard to the prospects of the road, There ~yore entirely satis- fied with .owhat they heard end wore oouvincetl that ro vont d would be bail{:sin a tended," With regard to the denentures, Mr. Hale said there could be no question that the Reeve has simply done his duty in delivering them to the Trustees, when called upon. The Death of a Fanatiic. A SPIRITUALIST KILLS EIMSELF AND LEAVES A STRANGE WILL. Prom the New York Tribune. For twenty years past au eccentric old man has been working for a firm how consisting of Willet L. Wash- burne and Robt Brown, manufacturers of emblematical signs and weather vanes, on the third and fourth floors of No. 4 Cortland street. He was em- ployed as a sign -painter, and was a good workmen. He said his name was De la Platte Wriley, and that he was born in Hartford, Conn., 65 years ago. He has been almost insane upon the sub - Wino: ad Lipor: acted in a singular manner, and wrote fantastic garments. For years past he ject of spiritualism; one manifestation of the state of his mind being his belief that he was very ill, during which per- iods he swallowed quantities of drugs. His insane freaks because so extrava- gant recently that he was discharged for neglecting his work. This action on the part of his employers had often EIA_RDTA.z'zt been adopted before, but he had always been taken back again. Wriley was a " medium," and wrote several curious books under "spiritual" influence ; his last work being a revision of the Con- stitution of the United States, the MS. of whieh is written upon over five hun- dred odd soraps of paper. While at work painting signs he 'would frequent- lythrow down his tools, seize his pen, and write a few pages of this book un-• der "inspiration," as he believed, and ie always said that when this great work was finished there would be noth- ng more to live for, and he would des- Boots and Shoes roy himself. He slept on a cot bed u the fourth floor of the building, in h he workshop, and frqeuently sat up early all night. dictating chapters of is book to his "private secretary," a eddler of spectacles, named McEwen. e recently succeeded in finishing the ork mentioned, and repeated as asser- ou of 'the' determination to commit uicide, but as he had made three pre- ous attempts to end his life, all of wliichhad failed, awing to his lack of our.age, little attention was paid to hat he said. Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, igus Robertson and another work - an, both sign -painters, employed by shburne & Brown, entered the shop begin work for the :day. To their orror, they found Wriley lying dead his bed, which was covered with ood that had flowed from a deep ouud in his left breast, inflicted by the ade of a weapon that had gone direct - through the heart.
