Iriquois County. •1
—One of the most fiendish acts it has
ever been our lot to chronicle, was per-
petrated near the village of Lucan, Tues -
,day night, four horses being attacked by
devils in human shape—their tongues cut
out and , throats laid open with sharp
knives. The cruel work -was so com-
plete, that three of the animals have since
died; and the other is not expected to
survive. The three first named were
owned by Mr. Walker, hotel ke4er and
stage proprietor, and the fourth by Mr.
• Watson. The only traces the inhuman
wretches left behind them - were: the
bloody Marks of their fingers on the
fence. Tremendous exeitement prevails
in the village, and a vigilance committee
is being organized.
• —An important cage has just been de-
cided in, the Exchequer Court of Canada
-in which the suitors were two Inercol-
:
-onial R lway contractors. Their claim
was for early $125,000, which was made
up of seVeral items, on each of which Mr.
Justice Ritchie gave judgment for the
Crown. The amount ,awarded to the
contractors, in other words, was the
amount already tendered by the Crown
in payment'of their claina, less the costs
of the present suit ; and if the Crown
chooses to exact forfeit for ton -perform-
ance of the contract within the specified
time the suitors will receive nothing.
An abstract of the judgment is given
elswhere.

— On Friday morning, about 6 o'clock,
the, insane woman Catharine Driscoll, a
few weeks ago brought from Tucker -
Smith, ied in her cell in the Goderich
jail.,The matron was making her morn-
ing 'round when she found the poor wo-
nian dying, and. she expired a few mo- i
=tints a#er. Dr. McLean, coroner, held
an inquest, Mr. John Mitchell being fore-
man o the jury. Two witnesses were
examin d, the jail surgeon and the ma-
tron, and after bearing their evidence,
the following verdict was rendered:
"That the deceased came to her death
from inability to take nourishment, and
the jury further say that in their opinion
the decteased should not have been com-
mitted to jail merely on account of her
insanity, as she was unable to do injury
to any one, but should have been cared
for ;,;y her friends, if she had any; and
the jury further say that in cases like
the 'present it ought to be within the
power of the keeper of the jail to en-
gage a special attendant to take care of
.a helplesi prisoner, and that he should
be entitled to have the account for such
• -attendance paid for from county funds."
The poor woman was very helpless be-
sides being insane.; she was afflicted with
St. Vitus' dance, and, in her efforts to
move about she fell so frequently that
her body was almost covered . with
bruises.

Mount Etna.
'The slopes of Mount 'Etna support a
population of 3,000,000, thmigh the soil
was originally nothing but lava and
ashes thrown out from the crater of the
volcano. Holes are made by the pick
and 14r for planting vines and olives,
and soil is brought long distances to fill
the cavities. Often within five years of
an eruption a crop of grapes is raised.
'from ground that appears like solid rock.
Along the banks of the Moselle and
Ithine„ the hillocks are encircled by wide
stages ,walled round by rocks and plant.
ed with vines anI
d ether crops. f tor-
rents a rain break down the walls, the
men at once set to work to repair them,
while the women bring back in baskets
the earth that has been washed away.
In sorae portions of Norway, ,grass
only oared by placing it over supports
at sone distance from the ground. Farm-
ing operations are carried on in portions
of that country -where the seasons are so
short that crops have but 60 days to ma-
ture. Potatoes and other vegetables are
often raised on the 'roofs of houses, in.
order that the heat of the stove used for
cookieg purposes may aid in their
growth. Butter and cheese are manu-
factured north of the Arctic circle. The
. milk is furnished by cows half the size of
the Jerseys. They eat moss and the
tender twigs of trees during the summer,
and siibsist chiefly on sea Weed and fish
during the winter. In Switzerland
thousands of bushels of grain are raised
in patches so small, ,that they could be
covered by a Ibed blanket. ' TheArinest
cheese in the World is made there from
the niilleof goats that fincletheir living in
places inaccessible to any person but a
mountaineer.

PEDIGREE.---lienforth la a blood beer, with
black points, tands 16 hands 1 inch high. He
is a superior muscled horse. He was trained
three weeks on the Hamilton track, and at a pri-
vate trial trotted half a mile in 1:20, and a full
mile in 2:514, when he was 4Eyeare old, and can
repeat it at a,ny time. He is now 8 yeate old, and
has never been trained since. He has proved'
himself a sure foal -getter, and hie stock, which
are owned around Hamilton, are IRO very high
as colts, heing only. 3 years old, they are good,
large, rangey horses, and nearly all of them show
superior trotting action; one of them'owned by
George Westbroek, showed a 3 -minute clip last
winter, when coining 8 years old. ' Itenforth was
sired. by Hamilton Chief, who is Maw standing in
Buffalo at $50 per mare; he by Old TeMpest ; by
Imported Tempest. Hamilton °Mei' dam was
by Old Sir John Marshal, a thoroughbred im-
ported horse irate England. Renforth'S dam was
by Royal George, son of Black Warrior, son of
Tippo, son of Ogden's 'Messenger, son of Import-
ed Messenger. It will be seen by the above pedi-
gree that Renforth has some of the beat and
most fashionable strains of trotting bleed in his
veins, and eau out -trot any stailioli owned in the
County of Huron, where he stands, and will give
the general ran of trotting stallions (so called) 40
rcids in a mile.
