or croquet party ; s e how coldly, criti-
cal they look at each other, how insol-
• ently their eyes rov9 over every portion
of their rival's dress ; read -in their faces
the outspoken scosn as the result of
their scrutiny. "You think you have

Startling Mystery.
On Saturday morning, the 13th Ult.,
as Mr. Glenn, of New Market, Jeffer-
'doh 'County, Tennessee, was engaged
ploughing' on a side the farm -of
Mr. Hill half a, mile flom.New Mar-
ket, he suddenly perceivedhis team of
horses disappearing into the ground be-
neath' leaving the plough and' harness
on terra thona..—Upon ,examinatien, he
.found that the' ground had first given
way under the hind feet Of the horses,
thus "skinning" the harness over their
heads as the, dumb beasts sank into the
bowels of -the earth.
One Of the horses was iburied some
eighteen , or twenty feet deep, and of
course died instantly from, suffocation.
—The other remained • in sight about
12 feet below the surface. . Mr. Glenn
and his son, who &ISO, witnessed the oc-
°unlace, attenapted to save the living
animal by decending into the cavity,
but the earth kept giving away beneath
them, and they were soon unable to
save themselves, and were rescued from
their .perilous position bys neigh.bours
Whom their cries brought to the scene.
Both of the horses were lost.
: The cavity is circular, and twenty
feet in. diameter. The dirt and horses,
fill the centre, -while on each side is a
large fissure, into which the logs' have
been throsvn disappearing from view,,
and it has been quite impossible to fill
the cavities. There are no rocks or
stones to be seeni, fet the whole side
seems to be a mere shell, beneath which
is an apparently unfathorned abyss.
Weighinss Cattle by Measure.
An exchange' givesthe following
rules for approximating, the:weight of
live stock by measurment. 'Perhaps
perhaps some of our readers will be
disposed to try them and give us the
result If the dressed- weight.of a live
animal can be nearly approximated 'by
them, they will prove of real value to
the buyers arid sellers of stock. The
,girtla is the circumeranae of the animal
just behind the sho-ulder blades The
length -is the distance from the shoulder
blades.. The superficial feet are obtain-
ed by 'multiplying stile girth by the
length. If less than.' three, and more
than one, 'multiply superficial feet by
eleven. If less than five, and more
than three, multiply superficial feet by
sixteen: If less than seven an.cl more
than five, ' multiply the superficial feet
by twenty-five. If less than nine and
nine, inultiply the superficial feet by
thirty-three. If less than eleven and
more- than nine, multiply superficial
feet by foity-two.
Example : Suppose a pig to measure
in girth two feet, and in length one
feot and nine inehes. There would
then be three and a half:feet, which.
multiplied by eleven gives thirty-eight
and a half pounds as the weight of the
animal. . •
Example : Suppose the girth of a
qullock to be six feet three inches,
length five feet six inches; the super -
'ficial area will then be thirty-four;
and, in accordance with the preceeding
rules, the weight wiabe seven hundred
and eighty-two ponnds.
A 13EAUTIFUL FIGliBE.—Life is like
a fountain fed by.a thousand streams
that perish if one be dried. It is a
silver cord twisted 'with a thousand
strings; that part asunder if one is
broken. Thoughtless mortals are sur-
rounded bf innumerable dangers, Which,
make it more strange that they escape
so long, than. that almost all • perish
suddenly at last ' We 'are encompass: -
ed with aecidents every day to crush
the decaying tenement which we inhab-
it The seeds of disease ar.planted in
our constitution by nature.- The earth
and atmosphere whence we draw the
breath of life, are impregnated with
'death health' is made to operate in its
\own destriiction. The food that nour-
ishes contains the elements .of decay;
the soul that animates it by vivifying,
it first and to wear it out by .its sbwn
action., Death lurks in ambush along
the .path. Notwithstanding this truth
is so palpably confirmed by the daily
example before your eyes, lift little do
we lay it to heart. We see our friends
a,nd neighbours die; but how seldom
does it °deur to 'us, our knell. may give
the next warning to the world.
