AMERICAN TIMBER.

PINE TIMBIat from Quebec rem iins much the same as at our last.
With a fair consumption, stocks a.e being graduaily reduced, and
are now near:y of the same extent as at this period of last year.
From St. John one small parcel is in course of landing. The stock
of this description of timber is largely in excess of what it was last
year. Prices are little changed. Quebec may be quoted at from I7d
tJ 20i per foot. according to quality and si;e. St. John of 18 inches
average will bring f om 20d to ?Id per foot.
it an PINE is exeeedin 41y slow of sale. The stock on hand is large,
and generally of in,erior quality. To induce sales low prices will
have to be submitted to.

OAK AND ELM. —The former of these is very much reduced in stock
(under 40,000 feet against 130,000 feet last year), in consequence of
which the price rem tins firm at from 2s 61 to 35 per foot. The
stock of Elm is full, but it is of middling quality. Good and fresh of
large avaa,ge is scarce, and will command ready sale, at from is 10,1
to 2s 2d per foot. _ _

HARDWOOD.—A parcel of very middling St. John is now in course
of b ing land d. The stock on hand is about equal to that of an
overage of years. No sales to report.
N. B. AND N. S. FINE AND SPRUCE DEALS.—The import of these
from the int February has been 306,599 pieces, against 131,613 in the
same period of last year. The stock Is equal to about one and a half
months' consumption in excess of last year, but prices have continued
ste ,dy. Tile price of a cargo now loading from St. John is said to be
.e 8 les per standard, with the usual reduction for scantling.
QUEBEC DEA i s are low in stock, and those of good dimensions are
in request.
PITCU Ptriz.—Of this article the stock is excessive as compared
with any previous year, and prim; will not rally till stocks are con-
sld-rably rrduced in extent.
TEAK WCOO.—Of this rine timber, one cargo has been sold to arrive.
The prise will not transpire. Since the sa!e referred to a large cargo
has arrived, which it is likely will be sold by retag.

BIIGS.—One cf the greatest domestic n'sarices, especially in the
spring and summer of the year, is the prevalence of bugs. Many
means have been tried to prevent or exterm nate' them, but all
hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may check, but cannot eradicate
them. Mr. 11. Grier, late one of, the Liverpool sanitary officials,
after intense study and d, ep research with many practical expert_
men's, in the usual pursuit of his official avccation, has at length
discovered the great des) 'e atum, " GreN's na'ent Anti-Bug Lotion,"
is an unfailing xterininatir of bugs, fleas, &c. It is clean, simple
in application, agreeable in smell, and perfectly lunoxious save to
insects. To be had at the Ant-Vermin Office, 4g, Brownlow-hill,

THE LAST OF THE GLENGARRY ESTATES.—The exter.
sive estate of Kroydart, bordering upon the Wild Loch
bourn, in the West Highlands is announced for sale. The
fact is interesting, for it is synonymous with the extinction
in the Highlands of the old Chiefs of Glengarry, who
f,,r many eewuries held sway in this country. The Glen-
garry family were confirmed in their large estates by King
Robert 11. in 1373; but their history go-s back to the
days of Sornerled, the King or Lord of the Isles in the
eleventh century. In all the clFn fccds and Jacobite
risings of the West Highlands the Glengarry banner was
conspicuoils, and their war cry," Craig ran Phitich"—
Rock and Raven—was heard in many a bloody fight, The
Chief who died in 1828 attempted to revive the ancient
impoitance of the chln, bat the power was gone. The
population had chiefly left for Canada ; part after part
of the extensive pcssesstas were s-dd—the princip4
portion is now the property of Lord Ward, and the Right.
Hon Ed wardElice ia also the proprietor of a considerable
part—rand wilt the sale of Knoydart will depart the last
of the estates held hi this ones powe!ful family. Sic
transit 80. Knoydart is a rough p&s'oral district—a wide
extent of mountain, loch and glen—with some scenes of
surpassing beauty and solitary grandeur. It will pro-
bably be purchased by some wealthy sportsman, as
affording admirable facilities for that passion of the
English nobles, deer stalkiug.—Mverness Courier.
