The Huron Expositor, 1872-04-19, Page 6• . , 77, 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.

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.

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 been greatly annoyed by mischiev- ous urchins who rang her door -bell and then made off, made a bad mis- take one afternoon recently. She Tay in wait for them, and soon Came a step on the porch, and a vigorous jerk, on the bell. She cried out, I see -you, you.little rascal, caught the unresisting figure by the coat -collar, and shook him vigorously. When her strength *as nearly exhausted, and- hoarse with excitement, she discovered to her horror that it was the diminutive minister of her church, very red in the face, and very short of breath.
