AN OLD Wo'4AN Or 70 AT THE FONT.—OD Sun-
slay afternoon last lacy Clark. aged 70, wife of William
Clark, carpentei , of lugat.sitone, was baptised at Fryern-
ing church by tho Her. Mr. Barley, comic of the parish.
As the old lady haul been ill for some time and had never
been baptised she became rather troubled in conscience,
and wished to undrnp thatocremony. She was told that
she must have two respectable witnesses ; she accordingly
selected two, awl on Sunday afternoon after service the
sponsors brought her to the font, and she was baptised in
the usual manner—Ctdmsford Chroni*.
A Californian silk grower writes to an American
periodical :—" My worms are doing finely this year. In
about two weeks they will begin to make their cocoons.
This year again, I have not seen one sick worm—a con-
firmation of my opinion that the disease is oot in the
worm but in the fool. My observations here have con-
vinced me of th it fact. It is well known that where the
mulberry tree is growing in the shade the leaves absorb the
oxygen of the atmosphere, and this is what creates disease
in other countries. Here, at the time of feeding, we have
constant sunshine from morning till night, and come.
intently our leaves are always in good coalition fur the
worms. This is the secrA of the superiority of California
over other countries for the culture of silk. . . . Im-
mense iranties of silk may be produced in this State :we
have millions of acres of the bat mulberry moil, and the
climate is the best in the world for the worms."
When Van Amburg's show was in Burlington,
United States, a few weeks ago, and parading through the
streets, the old elephant Tiger Seib refused to venture on
the Maiastreet bridge-- no persuasion could induce him
to cross. The animal fell through this bridge some tea
years ago while attempting to moss it, and he is supposed
to have remembered it.
An American paper save :—" In one of the
fashionable churches in Pittsfield strangers are seated as
to dress. U elegantly dressed they are plated
near the pulpit ; a moderate display secures a position
half way up the broad aide ; but a lady moderately attired
is put as near the door as possible.
