Communicated by Mr.. Nathan Landon, Of

There is way to fatten cattle, in
the absence of the common means,
scarcely inferior to the best, as the fol-
lowing instances will prove. | fattened
an OK and a three-year old heifer, the
winter past, without either corn OF po-
rtatoes, for less expense than even that
of common keeping, by preparation of
cut straw, &c. as follows: | boiled a.
bout quarts of flax-seed s. sprinkled on
to cut straw, which had been previously
scalded and seasoned with salt, together
with some oil-cake and oatmeal, work
ing them together in a tub with short
.pitchfork, till the whole became an oily
.lnush. l fatted the heifer first. She
was OF the common size, and in good Or
der 10 winter igave her about three
pecks, which she ate voraciousIy, and in
The course Of four days, when the seed
,ros gone, she was visibly altered. fed
her regularly in this way about two
months, in which time she had eaten A.
bout one hundred bushels of boiled fax,
seed, with other ingredients in proper
ton; when she was butchered she
weighed 584 pound, "a lbs. of which
was tallow. She would not have sold

LONDON, NOV. -.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES most important
establishment has been formed, denom-
mated the Liverpool and Manchester
Rail Road Company. The money TO be
raised is 400OO0l. in four thousand
shares Of 1901. each, and the advantage
to be gained is the Quick and Cheap dis
patch of merchandise in that district.
One thousand tons of merchandise pass
daily between Liverpool and Manchester,
and by the route of the canals the aver
age time taken is SO hours, and the ex-
Pense lbs. per ton, whilst by the pro-
posed Railroad the time will be reduc-
ed from So to FiUe hours, and the ex-
pense from l5s. to los. per ton Its adj
vantages are so apparent, that the
shares are eagerly sought after, and a
premium of twenty-five per cent. has
already been paid on them.
LongeUity.-S. Gordon, who died near
Turltf, Banfishire, some time ago. had
attained the remarkable age Of 1872
years. All the travellers who CHANGED
to call at the neighboring inn of Turiff,
were uniformly directed by the Iandla-
dy, Mrs, Wallace, to the cottage Of the
patriarch, "where they would see (she
used TO say) the oldest man in Banffshire
-ay, or in the world" Among the
visitors one day, at the close of the har-
vest, was young Englishman, who,
coming up TO the door of the cottage,
accosted venerable looking man, en-
PIoyed in knitting hose, with $50, my
old friend, can you see to knit at your
advanced period of life? One hundred
and thirty-two is truly a rare age."-
"Deil's i the man, it will be my grand
father ye're seeking-l'm only seventy
three-ye'll find him round the corner
o. the house." On turning round the
corner,t the stranger encountered debili-
tated old man, whose whitened locks
bore testimony of his having long passed
the meridian of life, and whom the stran-
ger at once concluded 10 be John Cor
don himself. "You seem wonderfully
fresh, my good sir, for so old a man; |
doubt not but you have experienced
many vicissitudes in the course of your
long life. ." What's your wuIl, sir p"
inquired the person addressed, whose
sense of hearing was somewhat impair
ed. The observation was repeated.
30, yen be wanting my father, reck-
on; he's i the yard there" The
stranger now entered the garden, where
he found the venerable old man busily
employed in digging potatoes, and hum
ming the ballad of the "Battle of Har-
law" 81 have had some difficulty in
finding you, friend, as successfully en-
countered your grandson and son, both
of whom mistook for you; indeed,
they seem as old as yourself. Your la
Dor is rather hard for you at your ad-
vanced age" cit is, (repled John, J
but Pm thankful that Pm able fort, as
the laddies, puir things, are no vera
stout now." The united ages of the
worthy trio amounted to upwards Of
three hundred gears.

Otdte TrlSOn.-Dy the annual report VI
the Warden of the State Prison, laid be-
fore the Legislature, it appears that on
Sept. 80, 1924, the whole number of
convicts was 299. Of the whole num-
Der discharged 913 had returned on a
second commitment, and of this number
"a were Of those who had been pardon
ed--113 of these convicts are foreign
ers. The account current shows that
the labor of the convicts has exceeded
their own expenses by the sum of ST.
l39 46 cts. and that the whole expense
of the prison and the prisoners is less
than the net income of the year by the
sum of 81, 212 rs cts. 1t further ap-
pears, that no money has been drawn
from the Treasury for the current year.
The following remarkable and provi-
Dental escape from instant death, occur
red in the town of Plainfeld, in this
county, on the 4th inst. At the funeral
of chile of Mr.. Othniel Gardner, in
that town, the sleigh conveying the
mourners was passing over the bridge at
the Forks of the Unadilla, when the
horses ftom some cause took fright,
jumped OF the bridge, and four persons
of the six who were in the sleigh were
precipitatd from IA height of 20 or 25
feet. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner and two
others whose names are not recollected,
together with the horses and sleigh,
broke through the ice, and sunk imme-
diately the bottom, in water seven
feet deep. By a great miracle the
whole we're extricated, and with little
injury 1t is also very singular cir
cumst;nce, that Doctor Erastus Lewis,
of Bpokfeld, who was in the sleigh at
the tine, sprang out, and catching hold
of the bridge in his fall, there hung sus-
pended by his fingers till he was drawn
from his peril by some gentlemen fol-
lowing in the funeral procession. Mr..
Gardnr, after he had himself recovered
from The water, dove again to the bot
tom, rescued his wife from impending
death and in his arms bore her to
shore CooperStosVn Watch.
