In Texts the corn is often left standing in the field,
and gathered only as they wish to use it. "It used to amuse me," says
a recent traveller, -" when we rode up to a house at night, to hear the
woman sing out to a boy, ' Run to the field, and bring two or three
ears for the gentleman's supper.' So we had to wait till the Corn was
gathered, ground, kneaded, and baked."
'floe St. Petersburglt Gazette contains an ukase,
whereby it is declared that all gold and precious stones ornamenting
the frames or cases of the images of saints are liable to be seized and sold
for the benefit of creditors in cases of the bankruptcy of their owners,
provided they have not been consecrated by being brought in contact
witself.

AN AFFECTIONATE SON.—Mr. Robert Gibson,
the fishmonger of this town (Hull), was placed at the bar, on Monday,
on a charge of cruelly ill-treating his own father, Mr. Gibson, sen ,
caned on his son on Saturday, to ask for the settlement of an account,
when the defendant, feeling offended at an observation made by his
father, knocked Lim down in the Market-place, and then beat his head
against the stones until it was one mass of blood and wounds. The
worthy
magistrates said that in quarrels between parents and their chil-
dren they did not like to interfere; but as this was a very gross case of
assault, they would fine the defendant 20s. The affectionate son swore
he would die in gaol before he paid a tinny of the fine, and was conse.
qi.ently committed for ten days.—Hull Paper.
FRENCH EXPEDITION.—The French Government
are about sending a scientific expedition to the Scandinavian peninsula
and Spitsbergen, the leader of which is M. Gaimard, the naturalist,
who conducted the recent expedition to Iceland. It is said that Louis
Philippe, who travelled through Sweden and Norway, Lapland and Fin-
land,
in 1795. takes a particular interest in the expedition, and has him-
self pointed out the objects most worthy of attention. The Swedish
Government lends its cordial assistance, and a body of Norwegian and
Swedish naturalists and engineers are to join the French savans. Some
of the party are to winter in Hammerfest, near North Cape. The vessel
destined for Spit zbergen is to attempt the passage northward to the
North Polo. Thus, as M. D'Urville, who sailed last year in command
of the Zelee and Astrolabe, had orders to approach the South Pole as
near as possible, the French Government will have to boast that its
elf.rts in behalf of science extend at the same time from Pole to Pole.—
