SUDDEN DEATH.—One of the clerks employed in
Woolwich Dockyard, named Charles Betts, about 46 years
of age, while on Friday engaged at his usual avocations, and
feeling slightly indisposed, was advised to consult with the
surgeon. He left his office for that purpose, having the ap-
pearance of a robust, long-lived man, but was no sooner
seated in Dr. Fuller's dispensary than he was a corpse. His
death was pronounced to be the result of a deep-seated
disease of the heart.
CANNY SCOTS.—Wisdom is not likely to die with
all Scotchmen, "canny" as they are admitted to be in
general, if we are to believe a story in an English journal
to this effect :—" A Fifeshire man brings his child to the
minister to be baptised, who asks him, ' Are you prepared
for so important, so solemn an occasion ?" Prepared !' he
echoes, with some indignation, I hae a firlot o' bannocks
bakin', twa bacon hams, a gude fat kebbuck, an' a gallon o'
the best Hielan' whusky, an' I wud just like to ken what
better preparation ye could expek frae a man in my condi-
tion o' life.' He meant the christening at home. A kin-
dred mistake is made by another peasant, who, hearing
Prince Albert prayed for in the service, fancies a small
steamboat of that name as the object intended; and, on
coming out of the church, is greatly incensed that the min-
ister should mak sic a sang about a bit cockle-shell o'
thing they ea' Wince. Albert, a craft nae muckle bigger
than a common wherry, that carries a wheen coals an' o
sma' steam-kettle in its belly.'"—Knickerbeeker.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Rarey's Horse and Cattle Improv-
ing Food is equally adapted to improve the stamina of ill-
conditioned Horses, Cows, Bullocks, Calves, Sheep, and
Pigs. It causes no extra expense, as it contains far more
and better nourishment than its cost of lid. per feed sup-
plies in corn and hay; hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great im-
provement in the digestive functions, the stamina anti
general condition of horses enabling them to perform far
more labour without getting distressed.. It imparts new
vigour to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out
horses, and it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle gene-
rally, and improves the milk in cows, as it enables them to
extract the entire nourishment out of everything they feed
on. Rarey and Co., 77, Regent's Quadrant, Piccadilly,
London. Packed in tins of about 99 feeds, I ls. ; in casks
of about 450 feeds, 50s. ; of about 1,000 feeds, £5, being
