Coon FOR A GoosE.-The Rev. CESAR OLwAY, in
of Domestic Animals gives the following a~necdote,
which is by far too good not to receive the benefit of a
wider circulation. At the flour mills of Tubbera
Keena, near Clonmel, while ill the possession of the
late Mr.. Newbold, there was a goose which, by some
accident, was left solitary, without mate or offspring,
gander and goslings. Now it happened, as is com
mon, that the miller's wife had set q number of duck
eggs under a hen which in due time were incubached,
and OF course the ducklings, as soon as they came
forth, ran with natural instinct to the water, and the
hen was in a sad pucker-her maternity urging her
to follow the brood and her selfishness disposing her
to keep on dry land. In the mean while up sailed
the goose, and with a noisy gable, which certainly
being interpreted) meant leave them to my care, she
swan up and down with the ducklings, and when
they were tired with their aquatic excursion, she con-
signed them to the care of the hen. The next morn
ing down came again the d~ucklings to the pond, and
there was the goose waiting for them, and there stood
thehen in great Illustration. On this occasion we are
not at all sure that the goose invited the hen-obser-
wing her material trouble-but it is a fact that she
bong near the shore the hen jumped on her back, and
there sat, the ducklings swimming, and the goose and
hcn after them up and down the pond. And this was
cot a solitary event; day after day the hen was seen
on board the goose, attending the d~ucklings up and
down in perfect contentedness and good humor, num-
bers of people coming to witness the circumstance,
which continued until the dncklings, coming to days
of discretion, required no longer the joint guardianship
of the goose and hen.

EXTRAORDINARY PHENoMENA.-The Rev.
James Whitman, a respectable Unitarian cler-
gyman, lately deceased, at Portland, Maine.
and the circumstances attending his death were
the subject of much curiosity. His body I'M
derwenta post mortem examination and in
laying open the breast and exposing the heart
and lungs to view, the physicians were astound-
ed at finding the heart located upon the right
side and the liver upon the left. The spleen
was also found upon on the right side present
ing a lu8us nature of remarkable interest to
the naturalist and psychologist. But this re-
versing OF the organs had nothing to do with
the disease which terminated his useful life.
Until pleurisy set IN. the heart. the lungs and
spleen performed their functions with perfect
regularity. and the reversed order of their loca-
lion did not injure his health in the least de
gree; for the heart performed its office just as
we'll upon the right side as it would upon the
left, and the lungs suffered not by being locat-
ed in an unusual place. This was a congenial
malformation, and this good man has lived hall
a century with his heart upon his right side and
his lungs upon the left side of his frame.

HARvEsTs WITHOUT Previous SowING.-In
the Schnellpost we find al account of a meth
cd of compelling the wheat plant to become
perennial like grass, and to perfect its grains
annually without the yearly sowing of seed,
which has been successfully p~ractised at Con
stance, in Germany. 1t was discovered by a
steward of an estate named Kern. His meth
cd, after p~loughing and manuring the land and
Sowing II with summer or winter wheat, is to
NOW it in the spring before the ear makes It's
appearance. This process is repeated several
times in the season, and the product is used as
hay. The plant is then allowed to grow and
be cut in the ordinary manner. The next year
it ripens earlier and bears more abundantly
than wheat treated in the ordinary manner;
from one field four successive harvestshave been
neutrality-suspicious..
