he adopted the Wing budget, it would
not have afforded any relief in the pre-

had violated the recommendation Of
Lord Sydenham. that the duty should
not take effect until the subsequent year.
The duty on foreign sugar would have
been equally unproducive, for the prices
OF British colonial sugar had for several
weeks been so low, that, according to
the calculation Of the late Ministers
themselves, the foreign growers would
not have found it worth their while to
import it. And he showed that a like
deficit would have taken place in the
projected levy upon corn. He feared

SINGULAR CASE OF DISEASE.
Mr.. BENNETT:
have been repeatedly ur.
ged TO communicate 10 YOU for publlca
ton the circumstances attending the
death Of my daughter Ann. She was
attacked about the first Of December last,
with a pain in her right side, which
passed into her breast and affected her
throat so much, that it was with dlffi,ul-
ty she could swallow. After time it
passed into her right shoulder and rem.
dering them useless. Thence it passed
into a leg and and foot, and for saveral
months she was unable to walk without
help. She was at the same time affec
ted with a severe pain in her side, COM
ing on regularly three times in twenty
four hours. This baffled the skill Of
her physicians, though temporary relief
was afforded by the use Of Medicdmen-
tam, which, when taken, seemed, TO use
her own expression, TO run TO her side
and draw like blister.
About the first OF June she was taken
with vomiting, which continued until
she died The discharge was some
times green, at other times clear blood
with portions Of matter in it. but towards
The last it was a white phlegm. The
vomiting so affected her throat for fifty.
nine days she took no nour'shment ex
cept little cold wa ~; and for some
weeks, It was taken into the mouth hut
not swallowed. | need not say that
when her ewes were closed in death, she
was but skeleton. Her age was ten
wears, seven months, and eight days
She drank deeply of the cup Of afilic-
ton; but her pure spirit has passed the
bourne aud is now 10 that happy land
where
sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are feared and felt no more

PLAN TO REMOVE sTUMPs.

The Western Farmer and Gardener for
August, contains communication upon
the subject OF removing stumps, as the
machinery is cheap, simple, within the
means Of every farmers procurement;
and as we believe will prove efficient, we
copy the descriptive part OF the paper.
"Procure a dry red-elm lever about
twenty Ieet long and about Six TO eight
inches in diameler-a good stout log
chain with Two yokes of oxen, this is all
the machinery that is necessary. The
mode of operation is this: Wrap the
log. chain around the stump little above
the ground and make what is called
log hitch; lay The lever horizontally on
the ground, the large end next to the
chain and against the stump; make the
other end OF The chain fast to this end of
the lever. drawing the lever tight against
the stump, the cattle hitched To the small
end of the lever, and driven around The
stump in a circle of which the lever 10
