lean in an article upon the estimated short
crop Of cereals, by reason Of the recent
drought, says:
Gas regards the short crops Of grain which
the country will experience this year, and
the necessity which will consequently be inn
posed on liz to husband the supply, there is
one particular in which this economy, for
more reasons than apply merely to the CUES
ton Of food, can be wisely and wholesomcly
exercised. 1T is known that enormous guam
titles Of corn are consumed in alcoholic Ii
Guurs. 1t is estimated. for example, that the
grain annually employed III Great Britain and
Ireland for distilation and mailing amounts
to six million quarters, and wonld feed tive
millions Of people. In the United States, as
grain used for the same purposes exceeds
seventeen millions of bushels, of which total
there are more than eleven millions Of bush
els Of corn. The greater part OF the nHtri.
mcnt contained III this quantity, is entirely
destroyed in the process Of the manufacture
while what WAS meant by nature for our sus-
icnnnce is turned into a deadly poison, dcS-
tructivc alike to the health and morals Of a
population. 1t seems, therefore, obvious,
in he face Of an cxigcNcy which will require
us to void wasting our breadstuiis, that we
should Withhold them especially from that
consumption which makes way yearly viii

The DAYTON (Ohio)

A FAMILY OF SIx.--The Dayton (Ohio)
Gazette-on the authority of ian eye witness
a lady Of character in that city, ''who saw
and counted the children, and had the moth
er's word that they were all hers, at single
birth''-gives an account of six babies that
lately passed in charge of their mother. a
German woman. through that place, to visit
their paterna parent in that vicinity, who
had been taken sick~at a place where he had
been employed at work.
"Shc had with her in u wagon. snugly
proppcd up in a wine basket, the six child
rem. They were not much bigger than ap-
pie dunplings, bnt seemed to be wide awake
and kicking. They were six months old. all
boys, and all as near af a size as possible, cx-
ccpt the runt of the party, which is described
as being the smallest mortal, of its age, ever
seen"
The same paper goes on to say that while
there are many well attcstcd cas,s of five
children, there is but one case recorded of six
at n birth, and about this there is much
doubt. ii happened in the day Of DR.. Pare,
al eminent French surgeon and writer, o!
the year 1890. The mother, who was the
wife of Lord Maldemcre, died after delivery
and but one of the children lived, succeeding

reason to believe that they can be made avail

no sacrifices, as they "h.ve no reason to

CUBAN SLAVE Ds.-Latc accounts from
Cuba mention the landing of several fresh
cargoes of slaves from Africa, on the coast
in one case the vessel, schooner, being burn
cd as soon as the negroes were taken out of
her Many of these slave vessels are said to
have been built at Baltimore New York and
Portland. Many of the Seamen employed
aboard of them, it is alleged, are induced to
ship under the pretence of going ON lawful
voyages, and are never informed Of the real
nature of TIE trips until they arrive on the
coast of Africa. Two American soamen, who
were thus shipped, are now in prison at la
wanna, for being caught on SLAYER, although
they were on board in opposition to their
wishes.
