AN AU STRALIAN PAPER publishes an advertisement
from the proprietor of a sheep and cattle boiling house at
Sydney, who offers for sale manure composed of heef
and mutton.

AN AUSTRIAN OFFICER, commanding at Ravenna,
lately caused a man, whom the bishop had sent for
punishment, to receive twenty blows with a stick, for
having eaten both meat and fish on a fast-day.

BLINDNESS is very common in Persia. Six or eight
blindmen are often seen walking in a string, each with his
right arm on the shoulder of his precursor ; partly caused
by ophthalmia produced by the dust, and partly because
the Schar has it in his power to inflict the punishment of
pulling both or one of the eyes out. It is stated that " the
great grandfather of the present Schar, Aga Mohammed,
the founder of the Kujur dynasty, had large baskets full
of the eyes of his enemies presented to him after his ac-
cession to the throne."

INUNDATIONS IN FRANCE.—The waters of the Saline
have risen so much that the correspondence of the steam-
ers with the railway has been interrupted. The provincial
journals continue to give details of considerable damage
caused by the overflowing of the rivers. Several more
bridges have been washed away, among which was one of
stone, not far from Badaroux (Lozere.) In the neighbour-
hood of Marvejols, a part of the road has been washed
away, and at St. Leger-de-Peyre 1S houses were thrown
down. All the low grounds above and below Roanne
are under water, but the town itself has been protected by
the works executed last year.
FATAL ENCOUNTER WITH A CALIFORNIAN BEAR.—
A German, named Laertes Schilleran, was killed by a
large grizly bear on the Calaveras, last week. As he was
hunting among some chapparal, he was suddenly pounced
upon by an enormous bear, when he attempted to defend
himself with his rifle: but, in the confusion of the moment
it is supposed that the gun was accidentally discharged
slightly wounding the bear. More ferocious than e-

the beast sprang upon him and tore him literally to pieces.
His companions, who were at a short distance, hearing
the report of a rifle, supposed he had killed a deer, and
ran to meet him ; but, on arriving at the spot, they per-
ceived a grizly monster leisurely walking away, and upon
the ground the mutilated head and body of their compa-
nion, his arms and legs having been torn asunder. They
attempted to kill the bear, but were unsuccessful.—San
Francisco Herald.

SAD END OF A ROMANCE.—A correspondent of the
Cleveland, U.S., Plain Dealer, writing from Sault Ste.
Marie, gives a narrative of an ill-assorted marriage, with
its melancholy termination. Some 11 years ago, Catlin,
the painter, exhibited a number of Indians in London,
among whom was Cadotte, an interpreter, Sarah Haynes,
then a beautiful English girl of IG, became enamoured of
Cadotte, and they were married. On reaching America
t!.e romance of love was over. For two or three years
they resided on the bank of the river St. Clair, on the
little property the bride was possessed of, and since then
at the Sault, where she taught French and music to the
time of her decease. She retained her beauty to the last,
although exposed to many hardships, by living in a birch-
bark lodge with an Indian husband. She died in her 28th
year, fortunately leaving no children to mourn the sad
effects of an infatuated match.

PROTESTANTS TO DEFEND THE POPE.—Papal officers
are recruiting in Protestant North Germany for the army
which is to defend the Roman pontiff. The Weiser
Gazette describes the departure of 100 recruits from
Haniburg on the 16th, most of them Prussians and
Holsteiners. Lieutenant Sturmfele, a Bavarian, was the
agent charged with the enlistment, and the men are sent
off to Strasburg as they are raised. The Hamburg autho-
rities remain neutral in the affair, neither objecting nc
assenting. In the course of last wed( 400 persons
