The &oath which has prevailed so Tong in Virginia causes great anxiety. The streams are drying, and people are obliged to travel miles in, search of water. ' -A proe,ess for extracting a new pig- ment from the coffee berry has been brought into UK, in Germany by Herr Zeth, a chemist. The new coloring matter is a harmless emeraldgreen, very brilliant, and valued for tinging sweet- meats and preserves. -A writer gives Several. instances of , the discovery in hens' eggs of mintite specimens of the distoma ovatum. They appear like a small speck, the size of millet seed. or a pin's head. It is be- lieved by helminthologists that these de- velop into a species of tapeworm. -The recent stormy weather especial- ly that on Sathrday and Sunday last was extremely disastrous to sailing craftof all kinds. Accidents on lake and sea have been numerous,and dread- ful sufferings have been experienced by sailors and others exposed to the fury of the elements. - -all wool dress goods or colored flannels should be washed out quickly in tepid water, rinsed in water of the same temperature, wrung dry and then folded up for a time, together with one or two sheets, so that the mois- • ture shall be extracted by the cotton orhnen; they should then be ironed till (Irv. -A child's hair has turned from dark auburn to snow white, in Oleau, N. Y. A few weeks ago the little girl, who is nine years old, saw two or three drunk- en men in the street, and was terribly frightened. She cried for three hours, and her paroxysms of grief were well nigh uncontrollable. Soon afterwards her hair began to tuna gray, and now it is white. -The latest walking mate.h, in Galt was concluded on Saturday.

Leroy, farmer, a bo Y and a girl, and a daughter of Benjamha Foster, were found drowned in a small: pond near Leroy's dwelling, the pond being partially covered with ice. It is Sup- posed they went out for arausement a.n.I had broken through. The chil- dren's ages ranged from eight to fohr- teen years. -Fuchsias, after being exhausted with bloom, sheuld have the terminal shoots of all their branches clipped off; theu set aside for two or three weeks, giving very little water; then repot in a soil composed of well decomposed leaf Meld, mixed with a sprinkling of good garden. soil, a few rusty nails, and a lay- er of charcoal at the bottom of the pot, to secure good drainage. In a few weeks new shoots, fall of flower buds, will start all over, arowinebrapidly. -In Toronto, the other day, a young woman of prepossessing appearance, who gave her tame as Kate Taylor, was found. by a policeman in a beastly state of intoxication, rolling in the mud iu a Jane- off York street; a,nd some chil- dren who were beside her had, taken her baby, only a few- weeks old, and were caring for it. The policeman pro- cured. a cart and had the unfortunate creature conveyed to the station. The The child. was cared for by a little brother of the prisoner, who accom- panied her. -The Robinsons, of Ottawa, and other heirs of Hannah and Betsy Baker are after 1,500 acres of Phila- delphia, valued at $115,000,000, 11 square miles of land on the banks of the Hudson, a large tra.et of coal land in Pennsylvania., and scattered proper- ties in New York and elsewhere. The Canadian heirs value the whole estate, including the Philadelphia property, at $20%000,000. The two daughters of Col. Baker settled near Ottawa in 1801, and did not know of their father's de- cease, to whom his two brothers had. left the estate. Their children were also igiacirant till recently of the wealth awaiting them. -It is thought that a good deal of theeiekness prevalent in Montreal at the present time is due to double win, dbvvs and the consequent want of ven- tilation. An incident is related in whieh a horecepathic clootor in that city figured. Having called upon a pa- tient who was suffering, he thought, from the want of fresh air, he raised up the inside window, and finding the double window still preventing the. en- trance of the fresk air of heaven, he raised his walking -stick and smashed a pane of glass. This rather startled the patient, but indelibly impressed. upon her mind the doctor's 'prescription. young woman, who lately served out a senteuee of five years in the Bangor, Me., State Prison, found. means of education, and becoming thoroughly reformed and a Christian left the prison in appearance a lady. She was employ- ed by a dry goods firm in Portland as saleswoman, and gave -perfect satisfac- tion to her employers, till one day a wealthy lady of the place entered the store and, recognized her. Calling the proprietor aide, she told him that the girl had been in the StatePrison. He replied that he kuetv it, but that she had done her duty faithfully, and that they wers well satised with her. "Well," said the lady, "if you keep her in your store, I will neither trade with you myself nor suffer any of my frieuds to if I can help it." So the pro- prietor, rather than lose his customer,' called in the poor girl `and discharged - her. -Mr. Samuel A. Rodgers, of Barker- ville, British Columbia, has arrived home on a visit to his friends in Lon- don. Mr. Rodgers left Barkervillo on the 17th, of July iu company with a friend, to reach Manitoba by an; over- land route. They had witEi them ft )ur horses and provisions wliieh they sup- posed would last them six weeks. They fonud the route over the Cariboo range of mountains one of unparalleled 'diffi- culty and. danger, aud for about ten days curiug the trip they had little hope of ever reachiug their destination. So tedious was the journey and so great the difficulties to be eucountered that they ran oat of provisious, and for five days had to subsist Otatiroly upon the flesh of one of their horses which they killed. Affer passing the Rocky Mountains they fell in with a party of five travelling m the same dieectio11 with nineteen horses. Joining forces with these, they were able to make the • rest of .the journey with leas difficulty and danger. After a romantic and - perilous journey of two thousand miles they reached Winnipeg on the I6th of November, or four months after start- ing. Mr. Rodgers describes the great country through which he passed as possessing almost every possible variety. of physical feature and inexhaustible resources of wealth to future °Migrants. -A land owner in Santa ,-Barbara, .Cal., has seven acres of tuberoses in full bloom. The fleivers are sold when fresh to florists for decoration, and to druggists for making perfumery. The bulbs find sale for planting in gardens elsewhere, and are larger and finer than eastern grown bulbs. Theae tuberoses receive only ordinary culture, aud yet some of the clumps have sent up 20 and 30 flower Stalks, ranging from three to four feet high. The bulbs were originally procured from the East. Only five hundred were planted some three years ago, and they have multiplied thus wonderfully. -The Montreal Gazette's commercial tells a story on Saturday of a blindfolded judge of butter, who was taken int6 the cellar of a provision mer- chant, who stated -he had some Kam- ouraska butter there which could not be distinguished from Eastern. Town- ships. The judge was given several samples to taste, and. one he declared to be Eastern Townships, another Brock- ville, another Kamouraska, and so on until nine distinct kinds of butter had been detected. "But," says the writer, "upon his sight being released from bondage, he beheld on the cellar floor before him a package of genuine Kam- ouraska bored nine times, which he had ca,llecl by so many different names." -I have heard that in the desert. when, the caravans are in want_ of wa-- ter, they are accustomed to'esend on a camel with its rider some distance in advatace ; then, after a little space fol- lows another, and then, at a short in- terval, another. As soon as the first man fmds water, almoit before he stoops_ down to drink, he shouts aloud "Come !" The next one hearing the voice repeats the word "Come !" while the nearest again takes up the cry "Come I" until the whole wilderness echoes with the word "Come I" So in that verse the Spirit and. the bride say first of all, "Come !" then let him that hearetk say "Come!" and whosoever is athirst let him come, and take of the water of life freely. -Spurgeon. -The other day a veiy stylish brougham, with cornet on panel and on harness, and with coachman and groom in orthodox leathers, boots, and dark livery, stopped at the door of a fashion- able West End London bank._ Inside were two ladies, one young, the other old. The groom jumped off the box, touched his hat at the Window, and re- ceived a slip of paper from one of the occupants of the vehicle. He took it into the bank, and presented it to one of the tellers. It was a cheque of the Dowager Countess of W., for $1,250. The teller asked where her ladyship was, and. being told that she was at the door an.d wished to communicate with ohe of the officers of the bank, went out to speak to her. The elderly lady ask- ed him to give her $1,000 in £5 uotes and the rest in gold. This was done, and it was not until the next day that the signature was discovered to be a forgery. -God be thanked for books: They are the voices of the distant and the dead, and Make us heirs of the spiritual of past a,ges.• Books are true levelers. They give to all, who will faithfully use them, the society, the spiritual prese etc°, of the best and greatest • of our race. No matter how poor I am ; no matter though the professors of my own time will not enter my obscure dwel- ling ; if the sacred writers will enter and. take up their abode under my roof; if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of paradise, and Shakespeare to open to me- the world of imagination and the workiugs of the fliumau heart, and Franklin to enrich. •nee with his practical wisdom, I shall not pine for want of intellectual companionship, and I may become a cultivated man, though excluded from -what is called the best society in the place where I live. -Chan- " -In. Oxford street, London, tte other day, a lady left her cab to get the name and mimber of a carman who was cruel to his horse. Immediately she was sur- rounded by a rude crowd, who, first by jests and then by filthy, remarks, stroVe to frustrate her intentions. She, how- ever, never flinched, until she was thrown down on the pavement, mauled, and, though uninjured, her silk dress was besmeared with mud, a police con- stable who was present being apparent- ly unable to resist the violence of the crowd. At this moment a -gentleman managed. by much energetic elbowing to force his way through the roughs and pick up the lady. He got her into the cab, and with -the aid of a police in- spector the driver was taken into cus- tody and charged it the Marlborough street Police Court, where he was con- victed of the act of cruelty. And this in one of London's chief West End thoroughfares.. The Heaviest, Tallest and.

Oysters should never be boiled, but only scalded, as it makes them tough and shrinks then all up. If they are to be stewed heat them hot, but don't, boil them; always have the soup or gravy hot.

The value of wheat in the Canadian market is - controlled to a great extent by the foreign de- mand. If crops aro short in Russia, France and India, England must bay more Canadian wheat, and the price consequently advances. Buttheprice of Wilson's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry neverchanges. A twenty -live cent bottle will cure any ordinary Cough or Cold and give marked relief in old standing oases of Bron- chitis.
