sIODE OP _ iREEDINO LEECHES IN SINDE.—The
breeding of h eches, even in Europe, is kept a secret, so
far as anything can be in that quarter of the world.
The breeding of them was at one period almoot entirely'
confined to a tribe of
gipsies, but the secret got known
and went abroad. In Great Britain, even to this day,
the best description of leeches are procured from the con-
tinent. In Ceylon, where the variety of leeches are
more numerous, perhaps, than in any part of the world,
the propagation of the sort used in phlebotomy is made
a secret of. In India the leech propagators do all
they can to keep the knowledge to themselves.
This has not, however, prevented one of our most tic-
complisbed
naturalists and botanists from propagating
these valuable reptiles with the greatest success, so
much so, it.deed, as to be a great saving to Govern-
ment in furnishing the hospitals. Major Blenkins is
the gentleman to whom we allude, and to whom we
take this opportunity of returning thanks for the pe-
rusal of his curious and very interesting. paper on this
subject. Burnt earthen vessels, commonly called " cot
tee pots," are used for this purpose, of globular shape
or form, being three feet in circumference, one ditto
in height, and with mouth six inches in diameter, each
pot being two-thirds filled with stiff black earth, con-
taining a good portion of clay. To this add four hands-
ful of finely-powdered dry goat or cow dung, two
handsfuls of dried hemp leaves, finely powdered, with
twe ounces of assofcetida. The vessel is then filled ti
within three inches of the mouth with water, and the
whole mixed up with a wand or stick. Leeches of full
on, and
put, nineteen ord glutted from,
growth, and of the largest size, are required for
plleaeceehd
propa-
gation, varying, perhaps, from three to five inches
it nh
elength, a
human
twenty into each vessel; an earthen cover is then placed
over the mouth; and the whole smeared over with a
of now-dung and earth,
coating and placed in a
sheltered spot, free from wind and sun. After the
bfthedry. being
ghe
space of twenty-five days or a month, on the cover
being moved off, about twenty cacoons will be found,
of the size of a sparrow's egg, and longer, and of a
spongy nature. On being carefully torn open with the
finger, from five to fifteen small leeches will emerge.
All of these are then placed in a pot of water, into which
a table-spoonful of sugar has been thrown. Aften ten
days it is requisite to feed them with blood from the hu-
man body for a period of three months, when they will
have attained the usual size for application. During the
warm months, after a respite (it ten days
or so, the
breeding leeches can again be placed as above. described.
The leech appears to live about eighteen months, and
any number can be procured in this way.—Colonial
Magazine.

[ADVERTISEMENT.j—ALL HEAVY, SLEEPY, DROWSY,
AND APOPLETIC SYMPTOMS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED BY HOLLOWAY'S
Pmts.—There is often much danger to be apprehended from attacks
of paralysis or apopleln whenever any of the foregoing symptoms
hang about the system for any lengtht of time. Such a state of
things indicates much derangement oC the
.stomach and liver, and
clearly demonstrates great wan o purity in the blood. When
this is the case, not a moment should be lost in taking a few strong
doses of these celebrated pills, which so thoroughly cleanse the bowels
and stomach, while they act upon the liver and other organs, and
thus restore the blood to its pristine purity.-- Sold at Professor Ifollo-
