REPRESENTATION OF Ross AND CRODIARTY.—:We Un-
derstand that a requisition is in course of signature by the
electors of the combined counties, soliciting Mr. Matheson,
ALP., on public and private grounds, to allow himself to be
put in nomination as a candidate for the representation of
Ross and Cromarty in the next Parliament. Mr. Matheson
has more than once been applied to on this subject ; but
we hear that it was only on the retirement of the late
Ministry, and the able exposition then given by Sir R. Peel, of
his views of the policy which the welfare of the country de-
mands for its future government, that Mr. Matheson deemed
it a public duty, paramount to all personal considerations,
to comply with the wishes which had been addressed to him,
should these be concurred in, by a suitable portion of the
electors generally. We have no doubt they will; and these
counties will thus have an opportunity of declaring their
sentiments on the recent great and liberal reform of our
commercial laws so successfully carried through by Sir
Robert Peel, and on those principles of government and
legislation at length adopted and avowed by him as neces-
sary for the future safety and well-being of the country.—
Ross- shire Advertiser.

We read in a letter from Pesth (Hungary)—" A re-
spectable woman, named Witrewlewsky, residing at Pesth,
went last year to Kleinzell, to be present at the Fete Dieu,
and took her daughter, a child of about eight years of age,
with her. The child strayed away, and the mother, after
seeking for her for a length of time, returned home, in great
grief. This year again she went to Kleinzell, and one day,
in passing along a street, heard a child crying, which re-
minded her of her little girl's voice. She bullied to the
spot, and, in fsct, there beheld her daughter, but in a most
deplorable condition ; she was nearly naked, and black with
filth ; and with both her eyes out I She was hold-
ing out a wooden cup .to receive alms. Behind her
was an old woman, who, at the moment that Madame
Witrewlewski attempted to speak to the child, pushed her
back, declaring that the girl belonged to her. The mother,
with great emotion, cried out that it was her child, and that
she must, have her. A crowd collected, and the old woman
was taken into custody. When brought before a magistrate,
she at first persisted in asserting that she had found the
child in its present state of blindness in the streets, and had
given her shelter; but afterwards, when pressed with ques-
tions, she acknowledged that she had the year before enticed
the child-away and forced out her eyes with a knife, in order
to enable her to excite compassion and obtain more abundant
alms in begging. She was immediately committed for trial.
By the laws of Hungary, the punishment for such a crime is
to be broken alive on the wheel.— Galignani.

BEST WATER FOR PLANTS.-It 111 well known that
rain-water is far better than spring-water for promoting the
growth of plants; this is from the former containing that
which is a necessary ingredient in their formation—namely,
ammonia; and which is abundant in liquid manure. The
efficacy of this may be soon developed by sprinkling one-half
of a grass-plot with spring-water, and the other half with
water in which pounded carbonate of ammonia (about one
ounce to the gallon) has been dissolved; the former wil
keep it alive, but the latter will give it vigour and lazuri-
anee.— The Builder.
