"An aversion to particular profession may he

Parents not only prevent, hut erceed their jus,

"IIoG VS. WHALE" "-Uunder this caption
The Lowell Courier contains the following:
Our cnterprlsing friends Of New Bedford
and Nantucket are alarmed by the interference
of lard oil with their great staple. A few
facts may relieve their anxiety. Lard oil,
properly made, bears a higher price than sperm
OIL 1t is substitute for olive OIL. The WOOL
zen manufacturers of this conntIy are using
lard oil and nothing else, and the producers of
this article cannot supply the demand, suppos-
ing that not one gallon is consumed for light
ing purposes. Olive oil is not imported for
consumption a cargo was exported from Bos-
ton a few weeks since. The price of lard this
year, is 30 per cent. below It's average value
tor ten years past. In lS3j, the price of lard
in .he Atlantic cities was cents when the
woollcn manufactures commenced using it, an
in seven months II rOsc to - cents last year,
tallow was made into OIL but the price soon
rose, and now not gallon is made from it.
However useful the manufacture Of lard oil
may be, the interference is not with cur friends
above named, hut with the importers of olive
oil, who formerly employed a large capital in
the business. Our whacmeu have beaten the
world, and they have nothing to fear,

American Flour.

The London correspondent of the n y. Union,
states during the recent discussion in the London
papers respecting the relative prices of -four aud
Bread the complaint heIng. that the miller and the
baker keep up the price of flour and bread, wheat
being much lower in price than for many years
past a curious fact has transp pred. 1t appears
that Lemans, hscu-maker, Thread. needle street
who made an immense fortune 10y his busine S.
found that either in biscuit or bread, American
flour will absorb from 18th To 7th more of its
weight in water, than any other flour. Mrs, Run>
dell, in her Domestic COskery (Which made more
money for John Murray Of Alben.alc street, than
ByGon's most successful works. states, also, that
a stone II lbs.) OF American flour, will make |
10 H.. of bread, while the best kind Of English
flour will from like quantity, produce only Is l-2
IL. of bread. This is a curious fact, and as il is
now taking "the rounds" of the public journals
must operate Iavoraby for American -four.

REMARKABLE CASE OF Instinct IN Bird.
One of the most remarkable cases of in
stinctive knowledge in birds, was often re-
lated by my grandfather. who witnessed the
fact with his own eyes. lie was attracted to
the door one summer day, by troubled twt.
tcring, indicating distress and terror. bird
who had built her nest in tree near the door,
was flying back and forth with the utmost
speed, uttering wailing cries as she went. He
was at first at a loss to account for her strange
movements but they were soon explained, by
the sight of snake, slowly winding up the
tree.
Animal magnetism was then unheard of and
whoever had dared to mention it, would doubt
less have been hung on Witch's Hill, without
benefit or clergy. Nevertheless, marvellous
and altogether unaccoun,able stories have been
told of the snakes power to charm birds My
grandfather having mind to test the truth of
gress ofthings. being a humane man, he resol-
we'd to kill the snake before he despoiled the
nest. The distressed mother, meanwhile, con-
tlnued her rapid movements and troubled
cries and he soon discovered that she went
and came continually, with something in her
hill, from one particular trce--a white ash.
The snake wound his way up but the instant
his head came near the nest his folds relaxed.
ard he fell to .he ground, rigid ard apparent
ly liielcss. My grandfather made sure o: his
death by cutting off his head, and then mount.
ed the tree to examine into the mystery. The
snug little nest was filled with eggs and coy
cred with IeaueS ofhe whiie ash
This little bird knew, if my readers do not,
/ that contact with the white ash is deadly To
the snake. This is no idle superstition, but a
veritable fact in natural history. The Indians
are aware of it, and twist garlands of white ash
leaves about their ancles protection against
rat,lesnakes. Slaves often take the same pre-
caution.
/ have never heard fany explanation Of the
effect produced by the white ash but know
that settlers in the wilderness like to have these
trees around their log houses, being convinced
/ that no snake will voluntarily come near them
/ VIII en- touched by the boughs, they are SAID
to grow suddenly rigid, with strong commissions
aft ter while, they slowly recover, but seem
sick and weak for some time.
