Tug EARLY DAYS or THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—
Whet the British Association visited Bath many you'
since, the geological section, conaiating of about a
hundred ladies and gentlemen, made an excursion to
inspect some objects of interest in the neighbourhood.
Arrived it the spot, Professor Phillips, of Oxford,
described the chief feature' worthy of notice. The pro-
ceedings of the section were altogether unintelligible to
the satires, and one bucolic individual, who bad (with
ninny other.) followed the party to the spot, was over-
heard to express his disappointment to • 'timid as
follows .—"Come along, Jim, the ring's broken up, and
there won't be no fight ester all l" The natives were
under the impression that the visitors belonged to the
"Fancy," and that a prine.fight wax in eamtemplaticre.

IstanD.—An expedition bee been organised by the
colonial government and colonists of Valmont* r's
Island, for the purpose of exploring the northern and
central parte of the island. These parte have never
been surveyed, rand are pnetioally unknown. In addi-
tion to fixing the topography of the Wand, they are
to look out for open ground for settlements, and for in.
dications of gold, copper, and octal. The party is
under the leadership of Dr. Robert Brown, of Rile.
burgh, who has loads himself favourably known in the
colony as a man of pranteal science. The expedition
was to start from Victoria in a gun boat, and proceed
to the mouth of the Cowitchan River, from which place
espiontions will be commenced.
DISCOVEIT OT RONAN ROADEL—In MAROC, On Mon.
day, the 12th inst., in excavating for drainage round the
Post-office, portions of two R.ornan road. were cut
through about three feet below the present memos
One road waa that which led towards the west (York,
ko.), and the other, in Wheelgate, to the north
(Isurium), and shots Pretoritun (Dunaley.) Both were
paved, and run together with a consent or mortar.
1-Ipori the road burnt atones and earth were plentiful,
intermingled with quantities of hones of the hone, ox,
sod swine. It is conjectured the animals may have
perished in the streets during the burning of the town
by Archbishop Murano, in order to dislodge the Scots,
in 1135. The bones, through long burial, had become
flint•like, and quite as hard.
MILAICHOLT AND SINGULAR DISTR.—A gentleman,
named Millar, of Dalmue, Perthshire, mute by his death
• few days ago under very melancholy eirenentanses.
Not returning home from a lower show at Logiralmood

About a mile from his bourse, along the hank of the
Almond River, they noticed a walking staff bonging on
• amill tree some yards down the almost perpendicular
drecent, and still further down they saw • hat. Mr.
Millar was soon discovered sitting or a stain, and
leaning his shoulders on another as if asleep, in the bed
of the river, his head and breast above water, but stiff
and dead. After having fallen 100 feet over the cliffs
he must have by, strength enough left to crawl to where
he was found, and fall into a sleep, from which be never
awoke. _

GALLANT Reticule TROY Dotowirtito.—On Monday
morning, the 12th inst., as • lady was bathing in
Balocadden bathing•plate, Flowth, she went out of her
depth. She was in the act of drowning when her cries
were heard by Mr. Adams, gunner of the Martell°
tower, who hastened down to the spot. He could not
swim, but he rushed into the water As soon as he
went near the lady she caught hold of him in ouch •
way that it made it apparently impossible for either of
them to be saved. Fortunately, however, there were
some men working on the Tower-hill, near the place,
who were attracted by their cries for help, and went
with all baste to the rescue, but on their arrival they
could only see the lady struggling above the water.
Two fishermen jumped in after the lady, and succeeded
in getting bold of her. When they were conveying her
to the shore, Adams was seen under the water, and waa
also brought to land. He was to all appearance dead,
and it was not till two boars afterwards that they were
fortloste in restoring animation in him. The lady was
not so much exhausterl.—Freemax's Journal.

A Loon TRIAL—The great trial has terminated
before the Court of Anises at Santa Maria, in Southern
Italy. At the period in which Francis 11. was before
Gaeta the reactionista succeeded in introducing •
company of gendarmes into the small town of hernia,

public accuser lasted four days ,• the speeches of counsel
one month and six days, and the summing-up of the

"Last evening the tail of one of the most magnificent
comets on reword was seen in thia city, when not
obscured by the mists and clouds of the west. At
eleven o'clock, the tail extended nearly to the con-
stellation Dram, or mom than sixty degrees from the
borison. Elopement the lindens to be at least thirty

of 1618 is recorded as having a tail • hundred and four
degrees in length; that of 1680 a tail from seventy to
ninety degrees ; that of 1769, a tail of ninety-seven
degrees; and that of 1813, • tail of sixty-See degrees.

brilliancy as for sips, II edil be the mod remarkable one
which hssappeared to this generation."

An ACCIDENTAL DEATH HT HANGIIIO.-05 Wed•
nesday afternoon Dr. Lankester held an inquest at the
vestry-room of Bt. Thomas'a, Chancery-lane, on the body
of Job Bartlett, an apprentice toe printer, who hy snow-
ing his mind to dwell constantly on the 1110 of Muller,
came to speculate on the subject of hanging, and, while
making some experiment., lost his life through • mined-
venters. It appeared from the evidence of several per-
sons who worked in the priliting-office of Mr. Chiffereil,
of Chancery-lane, in which the deceased was employed,
that they saw him about half-past sic on Monday
evening. and that he was found dead at • quarter before
seven. Ever since the murder of Mr. Briggs his thoughts
had run in that direction ' • and often, when speaking of
the probable fate of Muller, he had said that he himself
should like to be hanged. Edward Beds, an apprentice,
who discovered the deceased hanging, said the rope
which was about his neck was not twisted, and was only
tied by • ainile knot. His impression, confirmed by
many others in the same office, was that the Lad was
playing at hanging, and that as he was standing on thick
use let into the floor for the purpose of giving light to
the room below, he might have slipped and become en-
tangled in the rope. He was of • eheerful disposition,
and no one ever supposed him t, be serious when he
talked about his desire to be banged. The rope was
placed in the room for the purpose of pulling up the
windows for ventilation. The coroner, in summing up,
Inclined to the opinion that the lad did not intentionally
commit suicide, nod the jury, adopting the some view
of the case, returned • verdict of death from mis-
adventure. _ _

Is deep. Listening only to the voice of pity, another
child. aged 14, Irmo D'Olier Lees, a native of Dublin,
threw ride his fishing rod and sorting resolutely into
the water, from • height of 30 feet. The child was
nearly exhausted when the generous boy succeeded,
not without much effort, in holding him up in the
water till they were both taken into& boat. This noble
act was performed in the presence of an enthusiastic
crowd. What add* greater honour to the young
hero is that the wall was quite smooth, and there was
nothing to hold by. The mayor of Dieppe haa
announced his intention to present a silver medal to
Banter Lees, who certainly well merlin that distinction.

recount of the solitary occasion on which Lord Welling-
ton was hit :—" After dusk, at the battle of &Ismail**.

joined him; he was giving roe some orders when • bell

A BIRD AT • Barr tn.—We printed, • few days ago,
from an Atlanta paper, an account of • mocking-bird,
which, at the battle of Remses, perched itself on the
top of a tree, and daring the fight imitated the whist-
ling of the ballets and other noiees incident to • battle.
Another, and yet more touching incident of a similar
ch•racter. vas related to on by Captain Oeorge Babbitt,
of General Gresham's stiff, and of which be was himself
• witness. Daring the fierce cannonading at Nickajack,
• small bird same and perched upon the shoulder of an
artilleryman— whose duty it was to rain down the charge
after the ammunition is pot in the gun. The pie**
was. Napoleon, which makes a very loud report. The
bird perched itself upon this man's shoulder, and could
not be driven from its position by the violent motions
of the gunner. When the piece wee diachargesl, the
poor little thing would run its beak and head up under
the man's hair at the back of the neck, and when the
report died away would resume its place upon his
shoulder. Captain Babbitt took the bird in his hand,
but ehen he released his grasp it immediately
resumed its place on the shoulder of the smoke-be-
grimed gunner. The weee was witnessed by a large
number of officers and men. It may be • subject of
curious inquiry, what instinct led this bird to thus
place itself. Possibly frightened at the violent COMMO•
lion caused by the battle, and not knowing how to
escape or where to go, sonic instinct led it to throw
itself upon t' is gunner as • protector.—New Albany

EFFECTS OF LIGHT/IDM —During a thunderstorm
which pawed over Worcestershire • few dome ago, • fine
oek tree, standing in the middle of a pasture field at
Hanley Castle, near Malvern, was struck by the electric

DREADFUL AcCtDIXT AT NitwgUAT.—Newquay was
on Tuesday, the 13th inst., the Beene of one of the most
distressing and strange accidents that has ever occurred
In that neighbourhood. A horse belonging to Mr.
Marlyn, of Tregunnel, was being put Into harness after
dinner, and being • flighty animal it moved off before
the chains could be fastened to the shafts of the cart.
The driver held on at long as possible, but the epeed of
the horse incr using he wee obliged to let go, when the
affrighted creature ran off with the chains dangling at
its heels. As it was peening up a very narrow street
leading to the Methodist Free Church Chapel it met
three little boys who were returning from blaekbem
gathering. Two of the little boy. were fortunate enough
to slip out of harm's way, and thus *waned, though
narrowly. The other, a fine boy about sin years old,
son of a poor industrious man called Bert, employed on
the Treffry estate, was not so fortunate. By some
means one of the chains attached to the horse got wound
round the poor child'. leg, and became the in.trnment
of death in one of its most shocking forma. The horse
went on at the top of its epeed at least a mile with the
child dragging on the ground after it, and when the
body was taken up it was discovered to be mutilated in
• fearful manner.

AZIIIVAL OF PRISCO ALFRED IN SCOTLAND.—Her
Majesty's steam frigate Racoon, Count ()Inchon, with
Prince Alfred on board, came up the Firth late on
Tueday night, and anchored about midnight in Buristia
land Road.. On Wednesday soorniog His Royal High-
ness, attended by Major Cowell, landed from the vessel
at Samnaland Pier at seven o'clock, and, having tele-
graphed their safe arrival to Her Majesty at Balmoral,
took first class tickets to Perth, re route thither by the
train which leaves Bursitisland at twenty minutes past
seven o'clock. The Prince remained in the station and
on the platform, waiting the arrival of the boat, and
looking after his luggage, which was pretty extensive,
including several boxes of salmon caught by him in
Norway, with his fishing rode and gear, Re. A quantity
ot NEM, belonging to the Duke of Roxburgh
was landed at the same time, to be forwarded to Floors
Castle, Kelso ; hls grace, instead of coining south with
the Racoon, having gone to Copenhagen. The few
people in the station had a capital view of the Prince,
who looked fresh and well after his Norwegian tour, and
• rather protracted see voyage. Hs was dressed in a
grey Tweed snit. On passing along to take his seat in
the carriage, he cordially acknowledged the salutations
of the Coast-guardsmen and others standing by; but
Use through passengers took their places entirely
unaware of his presence. Carriages were ordered lobe
ready at Aboyne to convey the Prince to Balmoral,
which he would reach about six in the evening. The
eacoon will likely again return to the Firth, as it is said
the Prince will rejoin the vessel after a short stay with
his Royal mother.

A Triter DETECTED— BY A PARROT.-111enry Hill and
Henry Broekinston well charted at the Public-office, on
Tueiday, with bunking into the house of William Free-
man, coal dealer, .'ummer-lane, and stealing 10s. and a
silver watch. On Thursday morning Mrs. Freeman went
out to get some meat for dinner, and locked the door
after her. On her way down the passage, leading
from tha court in which the house is situated, to the
street, she saw the two prisoners. On her return she
again saw the prisoners, who ran away. She found the
door all right; but on going inside, she discovered that
the money drawer of her cabinet had been broken open,
nod that 10e. ant a silver watch had been taken away.
The proseontrix had • parrot in the same room, and she
stated, in answer to Mr. Powell, who annoyed for
Brockington, that when she went in, the parrot said to
her, "0, miens, you should'et have left the house.
Brock has been with another rogue and stolen all the
money." On hearing this, she at once suspected Brook-
iiigton and his isompanion, and reported the robbery to
the police, with her suspicions. Detective-sergeants
Mouutfoni and Spokes went immediately in search
of the prisoners. They found them in the White Lion,
Todeate-hill, and on searching them, found on Hill's
person the watch and 10, in money, lees Id. The

buried it with all due ceremony and affection, sod, after
more than a year elapsed, she married again. A few

tleman, who continued to observe him with marked at-
tention, and at last called on the host to present him to
Mr. Kean. The introduction was duly made, and
ratified by drinking wine together, when the stranger
with much impressiveness of manner said, "I saw you
in Richard last night." Kean, feeling, not unnaturally,
that • compliment was approaching, smiled blandly and
bowed. "Ye', sir," continued the other, in • slow,
almost judicial tone, "I have seen your father in
Richard; and I saw chalets Mr. Cooke" —another pause,
in which Charles Itean's triumph was gradaally mount-

THE ICTTSTOMI 0' THE AULD BRIG o'Doow.--It
appears that • short time since a party of excursionists
from • distance paid • visit to the Brig o' Doon, and
haring partaken rather freely of "inspiring, bold John
Barleycorn," a fee of them got up an lope:7p. dance
on the yery keystone of the "sold brig. One un-
lucky might, who had danced till he could dance no
longer, ant down on the edge of the bridge, where, if he
cool I not participate in the fun, he could at least be a
spectator of it. He had not been long seated, however,
when, the fun having become "fast and furious," one
of the dancer, either came against him or he himself
lost his equilibrium, or in some way was tilted over,
when he fill a height of about 50 feet into the water,
which luckily was in full Bond from the recent rains.
Although not killed from the fall, he ran an equal degree
of danger of being drowned, had not one of his oom-
pensions leapt down on to an adjoining bank, and having
partially undriosed, rushed into the foaming torrent
and bore Isis luckless companion to the bank. It is
rather strange that the poor might sustained almost no
injury from the fall; bet we dare any he will not soon
forget the dance on the Auld Brig o' Done, nor his sub-
sequent gymnastic gyration into the classic stream.—

COMIEDIZATE Acoootrr or THE BATTLE AT REAMS.
—Early yesterday morning rumours came thick and fast
of the battle on the Weldon•road, on Thuriday. Some
had it that the enemy had been driven from tbe road in
utter rout, and many thousand prisoners captured.
Others bad it that the number of prisoners was as high
as 7,000, and the number of cannon captured was put as
high as twenty. From information gathered at head.
quirts.. and from other sources, we learned that shout
eight o'clock on Thursday morning General Hampton's
cavalry attacked • body of Yankee cavalry, under the
command of the notorious Speen, who was engaged in
destroying the road about four miles beyond Reams'
station. They were soon routed and driven with con-
siderable loss back upon their infantry .pport at BOMBS,
where they were strongly fortified. About fine o'clock
General A. P. Hill attacked them in their works
at Reams, and after a severe fight of two hours
succeeded in capturing their works. about 2,000
prisoners, and nine pieces of artillery. Up to nine
o'clock last night there bad been brought in and
registered at the office of Provost Marshal Bridgeford,
1,700 privates and 77 officers, the highest rank being
that of lieutenant-colonel. It was reported that there
mass brigadierieneral, but this was ascertained to be a
mistake, and the report originated from the fart that an
officer surrendered as • brigadier-general, who turned
out to be only • lieutenant-colonel in command of •
brigade. This was a Colonel Curtis. We hear that
General Hanoock's adjutant-general was captured last
night, he having ridden into our lines by mistake.
General Bill drove the enemy some two miles, inflicting
on him heavy loss in killed and wounded, besides the
prisoner', with • lees estimated at alsout 1,000 in killed
and wounded. Most of the wounds are said to be
slight. The enemy is represented to have fought with
more than Its usual bravery, and our troops were at
one time checked in their advance. Falling down, they
waited until anpports came up, when they rallied, and
with irresistible fury charged the enemy from his
works, which are now occupied by us. We are In.
formed that the road has been destroyed all the way
from Davis to fear miles beyond Reams, which is some
11 or 12 miles —Pet &AHD fregister of A vette 27.

MURDER OF AN ENGLISHMAN AND HIS SERVANT IN
PERSIA. —l,tters have been received at Marsden, near
Huddersfield, from Mr. Edward Langfield, of Rt. Peters-
burg. giving an rmeount of the murder of his brother,
Mr. Benjamin Langfield, and his man-servant, in Persia.
It appears that Mr. Benjamin Langfteld and his man
were returning from a port on the Caspian Sea to their
home at Herat. They had to travel across • very
mountainous country, and though the distance was not
extraordinary great. yet on account of its difficult
character it took four days to ancomplish the journey.
The journey, especially contiguous to the sea coast, is
very perilous, so that the travelling takes place in the
day time only. The men from whom the hors-s
necessary for conveyance are engaged asseoinpany the
travellers, and did so in this inetance ; and on the 16th
July, while Mr. LangSeld and his man were asleep for
the night, unsuspicious of danger, their drivers
murdered them in evils' blood, •nd then robbed them.
Mr. Lang6eld is believed to have had a oonyiderable
sum of money upon him, and plunder, no doubt, was
the object of the murderer.. It appears that the crime
was goon discovered, and at the time the information
was sent off to England, active measures were in pro-
gress to diaoover and capture the murderers. It was
believed the English consul at Teheran had started to
investigate the foul crime. The Russian consul at that
city was • friend of Mr. Langlield's, and as the man-
servant was a Russian subject, there is every reason to
suppose he would use every endeavour to discover the
murderers. The deceased his also another brother, Mr.
Abraham Langbeld, then at oatrakhan, and he and
Mr. Edward Langlield (who sends particulars of the
murder) were in communication with each other, and
using all possible means to insure the capture of the
murderers. The murder, it is believed, occurred within
the dominions of the Shah of Persia; and it is stated
, that there is • law that, so far as personality is con-
cerned, when persons are plundered, the amount is
' levied upon the district as an inducement to check
robbery. It need scarcely be stated that the news of
the murder has created • painful sensation in the
village, where the deceased was well known and much
respected.
A WATKRSPODT AT SIA.•- NARSOM ERCAPR OF •
Ltoraroot Vssagt--Tbe barque Jane Wall, Captain
Smith, which arrived in the Mersey oa Tuesday the
13th, from Bermuda, had an exceedingly narrow escape
from destruction by a waterspout at sea. She left
Bermuda on Sunday, August 14th, but, shoitly after, the
wind basic's fallen to a dead calm, came to anchor off
the Great Sound. "The evening," writes one of the
passengers, "woo sultry and oppressive; not a breath
of air rippled the water, or cooled the hot atmosphere,
the sun travelled doves the west, and disappeared like a
a great circular patch of blood behind a heavy bank of
black clouds. The night was equally miserable—the
beet intense; the wind misdeed, the broad expanding
waters at smooth as glass, and everything in nature
seemed to denote some unusual phenomenon at hand.
The morning came but no change with It; clouds yf
various hue, but all sombre. grey and black tinged,
chased and gathered beneath the thy. The sun read •
ball of Are, and loomed hi the distance like a red-hot
68-pounder ypherical shot. No wind, no ripple, cosign

clouds gathered thick and heavy, and far in the distance
we could see rain halals' down on the sea Ist Lau of

Captain Smith aad Mr. Virgin, the pilot, asked if we
could not hear a distant roar as if there were • naval
engagement going on at some short distance. A dull
rumbling roar could distinctly be beard We next ob-
served abost dve mike from us a sylindriaal column

From our point of view it appeared about three feet in
diameter; it was of a greyish hoe. It ceded anon the
•water, and by the aid of our glames weal:odd distinctly
observe the salt water seceodieg, and the fresh water
descending in torrents—the sea in a state of groat mei-
teflon. Around this cylindrical column the winds
seemed to be rushing with the force of the volcano. A
smaller one which appeared about this time was ap-
parently 'swallowed' by the larger one. For some
fifteen minutes we watched this remarkable, and to VA
novel, phenomenon. The pilot then pronounced it a
watenpout. As we had never seen one we felt no alarm
till warned that if it struck the vessel we must save
ousedves. While we were yet conjecturing what would
be the result of this extraordinary formation, the
goat line of black clouds solemnly advanced on each
wing of the spout. The rain ens pouring in wild
torrent., and then the spout dropped down its mighty
weight of water on the pitiless sea, while the winds
madly rushed it towards us. We now beaune alarmed.
The roar of the falling waters came to us like the dis-
tant sound of Niagara, the tea was lashed into great
waves; the waters poured and bubbled and rem in
swaying masses over six feet in height With deadly
aim and certain purpose the awful column advanced.
Not one on board the ship but felt the danger, and
knew that nothing eould save us if it struck the ship.
Thank God, it burst *bout 90 yards from us, and the
lad remnant of water eased within buttes feet of the
item." The weather immediately cleared, a breese
sprang up, and the Jsne Doull proceeded, arriving
safely at this port, as we have said, on 'Tuesday last.
SILVIIITIMII foram DISTIOTED DY Flag. A
devastating fire has occurred at Thazted, a small town
in Essex. It appears that George Sargent, a journey-
man glazier, living in a cottage on the west side of Mill-
end, was out at work, and his wife, being absent in the
gleaning field, bad left three children at home, the
eldest only 61 years old. One of them, in playing with
some leafs r matches, set fire to some wood and gnaw
in an outbuilding, and it is believed that the aides of
the home were smouldering sODIO time before it was
discovered externally. Soon, however, it blamed out,
and, from the dry state of every material, burnt like

Salmon, and quickly leapt over the street to a double
tenement occupied by Mr. Edmund Franklin and
Arthur Perry, the Son Inn being only eared by pulling
down part of the stables to cut off the communication.
The fire continued to rage on both aides of the road, and

THI New ZEALAND Waa.—There is still no appear.
sore of • greedy termination to the New Zealand war.
This month, however, we have to record a Mimeas
which goes far to compensate for the reverse our army
•usteined at the Gate Pa. After that engagement the
Mamie, were immeasurably elated. The leader of the
Fast Coast tribes, Rewire, sect • written challenge to
the commander of the troops at Tauranga, • chivalrous
production, of which the following is a literal tranalas
tion :—" Now hear what we have to say. We hove
been waitiag for you to come and attack us for a whole
month, but you have not come; and now we are coming
to you. We give you warning, therefore, that you
may expect to see me within the month, and not to let
any of your soldiers out, fur our young men will certainly
shoot them. We give you warning that you may not say
it is murder, for it won't be murder" The Maories. no
eager for the fray, dii not have to wait long. On the 21st
June, Colonel Greer, the officer in charge of the forme
at Tearoom received information that the enemy were
entrenching themselves at a spot four miles inland
from the scene of the late engagement. Colonel Greer
marched out to the place with an Armstrong gun, a six.
pounder, and 600 men of the 43rd and 68th, and Ist
Waikato Militia (Victorian Volunteers) Regiments, and
found that the enemy had commenced the erection of a
new pa on • nerrow neck of land, surrounded on three
sides by deep gullies, and completely commanding the
Tauranga-road. All that had been done, however,
was to construct a single line of rifle pits. The
Miseries assumed the offensive themselves, their
skirmishers firing briskly on the troops as they
advanced across the plain. The skirmishers were,
however, soon driven in, and Colooel Greer ex-
tended his men, placed his gun is position 500 yards
from the pits, and maintained • sharp fire for two
hours, while he sent for reinforcement*. As soon as
the reinforcements were sufficiently near to give sups
port the advance was soanded, and with a cheer which
made the hills nog again, the 43rd, the 68th, and the
Waikato Militia. rushed forward to the position. The
Maories received them with • heavy volley, and stood
their ground well. The troops dashed into the pita,
and a hand to band encounter took place. It was not
of long duration. The soldiers, determined to remove
the slain the Gate Pa repulse had cast upon them. used
the bayonet with effect, end three or four minutes
saw the Miseries flying to the gullies, pursued by both
cavalry and infantry. The former followed them
for • distance of 10 miles, and with their breech'
bailing carbines did good service, though owing to the
swamps and gullies with which the districts &hotrod
they could not prevent the escape of the main body of
the enemy. Siztyseight Maories were killed in the
ridespits, and altogether 107 bodies were collected.
Twenty-seven wounded men were also brought in, and
ten other prisoners. Among the killed were Bassin,
the leader of the Maori's, at the Gate Pa, and Henan,
Tarstoa, the writer of Rawiri's challenge to the troop.,
a man much respected for his ability and education.
Many more Miseries must have been killed in the
ravines, where it was not possible for the troops to
find them. The English loos was comparatively trifling.
Nine men were killed and 39 wounded. Amongst the
wended are Captain F. A. Smith and Captain 11.
Burners, of the 23rd; and Captain R. W. T. Treat,
Captain T. Comment, Lieutenant H. 1. It. V. Stuart,
and Ensign W. H. F. Palmer, of the 88th.-4rgais.

Loos OF 80115 THROUGH EATING CORN.—A short
time since the flock of ewes belonging to Mr. Gent, of
Saxon-street. Woodditton, were turned into • field of
barley eubble, in which they ate too greedily of the
scattered corn, end in the course of a short time were
dangerously affected. As soon as their condition was
discovered they were driven into pasture ground, and
everything that was deemed necessary was done, but.
notwithstanding the efforts of many acquainted with
the management of flocks, between 60 and 70 fine ewes
died. Many more are seriously blown and still in danger.
