India Rubber nts--There is something
pecuaI. pleasant and agreeable IN the sensa.
ten one feels on putting on pair of India Ruo.
Der pan,s. They yield so readily to every mo.
ton of the body and legs, and ,hon they are so
cool that You feel almost as if your eSremities

in the loudest shout of laughter. He took the
shute in the shape of an alley close by, and that
was the last seen of him. We have ever since

pants were dangerous and rather notifying
things IN the street, or in ball room, particu-
larly If the straps give way,-Cin. Enc.

Singular Vision.-We have had instance
remarkable powerful organs of vision, bat NJ
so great as one referred to IN the English
pers. II is stated that there is now living at
Mauritus man endowed with such remarka
power of sight that he percelves vessels seve
hundred miles at sea. He is pensioned by
British government and every morning repc
to the government house what vessels are IN
offing, and when they are TO be expected an
is remarkable that he was never known TO {
