felt at the Canary Islands on the 27th May, at 17 minutes
past two p.m., the oscillation being from north to south.
It was repeated on the 28th, at a quarter before 12 at
night, in the same direction. No damage was sustained
by either shock.

geraniums are an excellent application for cuts, where the
skin is rubbed off, and other wounds of that kind. One
or two leaves must be bruised and applied on linen to the
part, and the wound will become cicatrized in a very short
time.

egg on the mornings of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday
last.—Dumfries Courier.

enters shall be inscribed by a priest on one of the admis-
sion papers.
