A Strange OrOSS.
The San FraneiscoPost , sap :
Some experimmts hate been tried
crossing the buffaloes with domestic
cattle, and the result is highly satis-
factoiy, a breed of animals being.
-produced.'which retains many of the
valuable properties of both. breeds.,
The animals are large and strong,
the chief objection to them being
that no ordinaryfence stops them
for a moment, and that they love
the water so mucl. that they will
swim and eport in it even when it is
full of floating ice. We have heard
of a eow and calf whose love for
athletic exercises was such that they
would jthnp from a bank ten feet
high intd deep water, when there.
was an easy path close. at 'hand..
These personal peculiarities are
dzawbacks to the introduction of
bufralo blood into the veins of family
Teta ; but on the other hand, when
properly .cared for, those animals
make most delicious beef, and, their
hides, when soft -tanned, are as much
uperior to the buffalo robe of.com-
anerce as wool is •to shoddy: The
-writer saw the pelt of the cow men-
tioned above. It is much larger
-than any buffalo robe which he ever
saw before, was covered with a mat
of soft, short, curly brown hair, there
toeing none of the long shaggy hair
ordinarily seen. •
A Mormon Idea, of Mari -lake.
.4 gentleman. who has resided for
some yea's among the Mormons,
gives the following as their idea of
marriage : it is a doctrine of the
Moraion 'Ohurch that no woman can
t to heaven without the aid of
man, except in special cases. To be
married and a mother in Israel, is
eternal salvation fdr the saintesb.
Without this in the other world,
the deceased saiiitess must•serve as
a kitchen girl OrWaiting maid to
some resurrected &Other of ,Israel.
This Strange doctrine is thoroughly
believed by the Mormon women,
and ,thence their eagerness to be
• inarried,eithei in or out of polygamy.
_A CS,SE illustrating this has come to
sur knowledge. A beautiful girl of
_ seventeen was on her death bed,
an:dbeing unmarried she requested
that a well known editor be sent for,
to whom she wished to be 'sealed,'
and thus gain eternal life in the
kingdom of God. The elderscom-
plied wit'a her wish; the editor
reached the death -bed, and there in
the presence of witnesses1 the living
and the dying were united in . the
holy bonds of matrimony. The
editor was already' a married man,
but his relOort made him take the
dying ginl to wife. Instances of this
kind are not rare. Such a Marria.ge
is considered-deubly sanctified owing
to the solemn surrotmdinas.
The Fuel Famine. . .
Much•as the people of Western
towns and cities have often. had to
complain of the high prices of' fuel
it is hopedthat they will never come
to realize the widespread' destitution
and extortion in that commodity
just now felt and practiced in the
commercial .capital. The fuel famine
has been graatally working' up in
Montreal for some weeks, and at
this moment the utmost distress pre-
vails, especially among the poorer
classes of the community. The
llecessij may be well judged from
the foil wingsextract from the ll it-
" It now appears that it pays
-well to cut up planks and sell them
as firewood atpreeent rates. Several
' proprietors of slumber yards are as
busy as they can be selling planks
in lots to suit purchasers, varying
from one to a thousand. Slabs and
everything in the shape of wood. are
being cut up into about three feet
lengths, and sold at frbru $6 to $8
per cord, and planks frorn $8 to $10.
The roads are now in a bad state,
and the bringing of firewood to
an.arket .by habitans having been
checked. for the present, dealers have
taken advantage cf the short supply,
and the consequence is another rift
in price to $16 per cord for maple,
and $14 to $15 for birch.
"Coal has also advanced in price
again, $16 to $18 per ton being now
asked, and there is a likelihood of
the supply running out even at
-these prices.
" Peat has been selline•bat frond
$6 to $7, but the demand cannot be
supplied; owing to the difficulty in
getting it CORN eyed on the Grand
Trunk. Railway to the city.
"Coke is sold at . form,er ptices,
and only supplied to regular custo
alters by the Gas Company as fast as
it is produced:" - -
The Strongest Guns in the
World
The thirteen itew Woolwich In-
fants are the most powerful pieces of
ordnance now ill existence in this or,
any other country. They will send
a .steel shot through. 15 inches of
armor plate, of carry a 600 pounder I
cannon ball from Woolwich into the '
city of London, a distance of seven
miles. These guns are specially ini
tended for the navy, and are tobe
brat used in the three large ironclad
now • in course of completion. Two
of these ships, the Thunder alid the
Devastation, are of 4,400 tons burd
en, and the other, the tFuryais 5,000
tons.' Each of these vessets will be
provided with four of the 35 ion
guns, which they will Carry in two
turrets, two guns being placed in
each turret side by side.—.7'imes.
'How to Cure Trouble.
Work is your true remedy. If
misfortune hits you hard, hit you
something else hard ; go at some-
thing with a wull There 18 nothinti
like good, solid, absorbing, exhaustk
ing work tc cum trouble. If you
have met with losses, you do not
want to he awake thinking about
them. YOU want sweet, calm, sound
;sleep, and to eat your dinner with
appetite. But you cannot unless
you work. There are some great
troubles that only time heals, and
perhaps some that can never be heal -
Al at all, but all can be helped by
the great panacea, work. Try it,
you who are afflicted. It is not a
iis
patent Medcine. It an official re-
•
ineay. All good physicians in regular
standing prescribe it incases a ment-
al and moral disease. It operates
kindly and well, leaving no disagiee-
able cr ill effects. It will cure more
complaints than any nostrum in the
Materia Media, and comes hearer
to bring a cure-all ' than any drug
or coMpound of drugs in the market;
and it will not sicken you if you do
not take it sugar-coated.,

A dead pig would seem scarce-
ly a portable object to purloin..
James Connor, indicted for such a
theft at the Sorry Sessions, England,
said be took it for a lark. When
detected, he threw the pig into a
tea dealer's shop, knocking a woman
down. He was sentenced to twelve
months' hard labor.
—A Baltimore lady wbo bad

Tay in wait for them, and soon Came
a step on the porch, and a vigorous

unresisting figure by the coat -collar,
and shook him vigorously. When
her strength *as nearly exhausted,

discovered to her horror that it was
