anatomy. The body of one who had just died iii
the hospital was brought The pupils arrived
with theit scaipels, and commenced the work OF
dissection: What was their astonishineht to find
that the deceased had no heart. On a closer ex :.
animation, they found that the subject had the
heart placed on the right side of the breast; and
all the organs which are usually found in the
right, were found in The left side. He Seemed to-
have been the opposite of all his fellow nien-a
living and walking antthesis.
The professors, in their turn, examined the sub.
ject, and all appearances justified The observations
of the students. This is the fourth or fifth in:
stance of the kind recorded in the anatomical am

doubts have been expressed whether the attach.

ano as to Coleman's own; Mr.. Erafd had sent
one OF his best patent grand pianos to his rooms,
and he in short time applied the attachment,
with even more success than in his own instru.
ment. A letter from MIR. Benedict speaks of il
as a "beautiul invention, which surpasses by far
all the most sanguine expectations, J" and adds
that as 1t overcomes the only drawback hitherto
felt in the piano, the mpossibiity of sustaining
the tone longer than the short vibration of the
string, 1t opens new field to musicians, and

LIQUID MANURE.

We wish to call the particular attention OF
farmers 10 the Importance OF saving liquid
manure, which when mixed with loan is con-
sidcred Of equal value to the dung Of animals,
and exact experiments have proved this to be the
case The best way to save liquid manure,
and save the solid portion from any water
likewise, is to have barn cellar to receive
the whole, and peat mud, loan, &C., to alb
sorb the liquid portion; these materials mixed
with the solid parts Of manure prevents VIC.
lent lamentations and waste by the escape OF
the gasses, and being sheltered from rains, /
great loss by washing away is prevented.
So Important is the saving of liquid ma.
hure and preventing loss in the other por.
ton, that almost every farmer who now builds
barn in this section of the country, con-
structs good cellar for saving manure. Ma.
ny who have experience in this business think
that the manure saved in this way is worth
double as much as when the liquid part runs
away, and the other portion is thrown out to
be washed by rains and wasted by exposure
to the sun, drying winds, frosts and violent
fermentation; and others, good Judges too,
consider tina, the manure saved in barn eel.
lar worth three times that exposed in the
usual way. There Is no subject Of more i'm.
porsance to the farmer. Every one knows
the value OF this article, however negligent
he may be about saving it.
The liquid manure from COW in e year
Is estimated at $4,000 pounds. Now let the
farmer consider what large heap of loan
might be saturated with this liquid as TO be A
valuable manure, and if applied as q top-dress-
ing to grass lands, how large piece that now
produces barely grass enough to pay for fenc.

crop, might be enriched so as to yield / Ii

We have before suggested, and It t1,ay be

will absorb the liquid matter. Let every far
