A SlNGULvR FIAT OF y HoRsE.-
The Count Lanscomb made a bet a
few days ago that he could make his
English hunting hoIse John Bull trot
a distance of one kilometre bac1wardr
in six minutes. The feat was under
taken between the Round Point Of the
Champs Elysees and the Obelisk of the
Place Concorde. From the Round
Point to the grand entrance of the ex-
ebition the Count walked bis horse,
but here he commenced to trot, and
from this point to the Obelisk he gra-
dually pushed him faster and faster
until he arrived at the end, in FIVE min
utes and thirty-sevcn seconds. The
last twenty rods were accomplished at
a rate of speed which put to the test
the full trotting powers Of some of the
h horses nonnted by the witnesses Of
tho singular feat.-Pnrts Letter.

NOVEL TnEoRY.-The late fearful
inundations in France has set the phil
osophers and sayans Of Paris to shecu-
lating upon the probable cause of ca
lamity which, with more or less vlo-
lence, affiicis the country periodically.
At late sitting Of the Academy Of
Science, curious essay was read on
the subject, in which the idea was ad-
vanced that the owe flows of the rivers
are chiefly accustomed by the sirocco
from Africa. 1t is conjectured that
the hot blast in its course over the sea
causes rapid and copious evaporation
and that the vapors are carried by 1t
and finally condensed amid the cold at
m mosphere of the mountains in the CEN
tire, East and South Of France, where
they descend and flow into the plains
and valleys in fierce torrents, whose
volume is swollen by the waters OF the
melting SHOWS. This is at least piau-
sble theory, whatever may be thought
of its practical value.-PhI. Erer1a%

Cleveland W OOl Depot

THERE is TO longer question: or doubt in the
minis of those who are best acquainted with the
advantages the Cleveland Wool Depot offers for
the sale OF Wools, OF its Importance and practica.
bity.
Located, as it s, nt the outlet of the great wool
growing West, being OF easy access to wool-grew-
ers, and merchants, and within twenty -four hours
ride of the most distant manufactures OF New Eng.
land, il possesses grea advantages.
Manufacturers, texcepting tho Sc who are engaged
as spectators in wools) speak in the highest terms
Of this SYSTEM and the many satisfactory letters we
are receiving from our woOl.growing friends, have
stimulated us to increase Cur efforts to make this
house what il should be-a SAFE and reliable chan
mel for the sale of their wools 1t has surmounted
all the difficulties aud opposition that could well
be brought against any enterprise by class Of spec
ulntors opposed TO il, and now it has more and
stronger recommendations than ever. We have
spared no pains nor expense in making ample ar
arrangements for all who may wish to avail them
selves OF the advantages arising from this manner
Of grading and selling wo Is. Merchants, and
wo0l-growers, who wish 10 realize on their wools,
on delivery at our Depot, can be accommodated
sent heretofore to those wishing TO send US their
wool, and WOOL TWlNE for tying up feeces,
will be furnished at from l3 TO 20 cents per pound.
When several in one neighborhood wish 10 for.
ward sacks or twine, we prefer sending to one adj
dress. Our customers in Illinois, aud the Western
States, will find that ordering sacks from us will
them much trouble, and insure the safe arrival
Of the wool here as our sacks are all numbered
and stamped "Clevelnnd Wool Depot" and after
being filled by consignors, will receive no other
marks.
We hope for liberal pa,ronare, our charges are
low for handelng and selling and we promise our
employers that our undivided attention shall be de.
voted TO their interest.
