RUMOURED INSOLVENCIES IN GLASGOW.—To those
who have lately used the names of their commercial
neighbours too freely, the perusal of the annexed extract
may be of use:—" In times like the present it becomes
every man, and especially every mercantile man, to be
particularly cautious of the use which he makes of the
name of his neighbour ; and this caution we think it
proper now to give, because we have learned that in
several instances rumours have been falsely and volun-
tarily propagated, of the alleged insolvency of some of
our citizens, who, although their means are undoubted,
may thereby sustain considerable injury not only in
their credit but also in their feelings. Indeed, we are

FELINE ELECTRICITY.—A correspondent of the
Gardeners' Chronicle states that when the cat is cold,
in winter, and you are cold too, if you pat one hand on
the cat's chest, and then rub the back with the other
hand, you
shock,youwill (a Frenchman has just found out) receive
a
