Agriculture.

FARM MITES IN Doßssr.
It is almost superfluous to say that our glorious harvest
is over, with results even better than were anticipated.
Nothing is to be seen out now hut beans, and, here and
there, a late piece of barley. Many pieces of stubble are
already covered with a capital plant of turnips. Although
a rather high wind during the post few days has brought
down the apples rather prematurely, yet the weather, in
I an agricultural point of view, is all one could wish—via,
' a copious, warm rain, with occasional bursts of sunshine,
and the results are already plainly apparent ; for, the land
being warm and in a healthy condition, rapid growth must
inevitably follow, and this is seen in the meadows and
root crops. Indeed, should this weather eontinue, there
will be an abundance of grass by the end of the month,
whilst swedes and turnips are growing away with great
rapidity. They say it is • farmer's privilege to crumble,
and no doubt there has been much of it indulged in, as
month after month passed by and brought no rain ; vet
; who can deny but that as • rule this country is much
benefltted by a good dry summer Potatoes are coining
out flinch better than was expected. There are traces of
' disease in the haulm in places, but this is very partial, and
, I have seen nothing of it in the tubers; in fact, one can
, see the luiulm gradually yellowing off in large patches as
in the good old times when the enemy was unknown. This
is • sign that the root is ripening, and one may be sure
that the quality will he all that can he desired.

THE KILLING MANIA IN AMERICA.
The lim.kign Argus says that a mania for killing would
seem to float in the air. No day dawns without its
record of murders and suicides. But in Brooklyn, which
is at present a national storm-centre, little heed is taken of
the deadly features of the times. An Italian is most
mysteriously murdered In Williamsburgh, with his money
and other effects left upon his person ; • man commited
suicide by chloroform at the Ashland House, New York; a
drunken man blows out his brains in I:anal-street ; • Ger-
man shoots himself because • loose girl had jilted him; a
retired carpenter shoots his wife because she had ill cooked
his prunes, and then kills himself ; a woman in Elizabeth-
port. after trying to cut her throat, throws herself under a
passing locomouve ; one farmer kills another, in Pennsyl-
vania, for killing his dog; an old man of Ithaca im stabbed
because he wW not surrender his daughter to her newly-
married husband; one Hazel shoots • girl, mistaking bee
for his own daughter; and • man in Memphis is literally
disembowelled in a quarrel over a small debt.

celebrated plasters have obtained by their curative
properties in lumbago, eciatioa, rhoumatiern, pains in
side and back, and, in short, all pains and local affec-
tion/a, some IMlVlAcitied parties have been manufac-
turing and offering for sale spurious plasters, put up in
such a manner as to deceive the unwary, and, as sole
agent for Great Britain and Ireland, I can 6/uarantee
none genuine save they bear on the Revenue Stamp, in
white letters, the words—"THOS. ALLCOCK and CO.

unless this is on, will secure to themselves the genuine
