Eight venerable trees, isolated from the

The German, who by the way, had not

he could get the oil ard treat himself The
doctor saw no more of his patient for some
tine, but one day riding past the residence
Of the German, be was pleased to see him
out in the garden digging Justify. The
ease seemed such proof of the virtues of
cod liver oil that he stopped to make par

FINE RAINs.-Our city, AMI The region
round about, was visited on Sunday and
Monday by copious and most seas"nable
showers of rain 1t had not rained for four
weeks, and the crops were beginning 20 suf-
fer from drought; but these showers came
in the nick of time, both to bring out corn,
oats, potatoes, &c, and to enable the wheat
TO head gloriously. But no great good
comes to this wicked world unmixed with
a little evil, and in this case the evil came
with the wind that accompanied the rain,
lodging" the wheat in number OF fields
where It had grown unusually rank. But
nothing can be more animating than to see
how the corn fairly leaps from the ground.
Surely we have abundant reason to give
thanks for this rain.

4 Nut FOR AHrIQCARIANs.--A few days
since some men who were digging coal at
Buffalo Rock, found a large copper kettle
sereHteeH feet below the surface Of the ground
aud thirty-six feet from the river edge OF
The bank!
The kettle was lying bottom up on the
rock, on which that stratum Of coal rested
and perfect matrix was formed above II,
thus completely Embedding it in the coal.
The kettle (which may be seen at Wood
& Donlevey's markeD does not certainly
present very ancient appearance and this
increases the mystery, for how came an ar
ticle of such apparently modern construc-
ton in such {. locality?
We rather think that this will be some
thing of puzzler for the geologist and an
tiquarians; at all events if any of our sa-
rans can breach satisfactory theory on the
subject we shall be pleased to hear It.
