Metallic Burial basket.

The above enPra lug represents newly inven-
ted Batia Case, fashioned 10 accord with the
feelings Of the be eaved, and yet retaining all the
requisites of appropriate receptacle far the
dead. There Is no reason why such recepta lie
should be made TO create, by its appearance, dis
agrt cable sensations. II is enough that we should
be bereaved; and whatever tends to soften or
make less keen the poignancy of ou' grief, com.
mends itself TO our consideration. So much that
is repulsve has been discarded in the arrangement
and shape of the above Case, that its name, the
Cnsket Burial Case, is an involuntary suggestion
l. therefore, do not hesitate TO that theIe has
never been in use any thing so entirely chaste,
nppropriate, and witha, convenient, as this nven-
ton. Besides this, the Cases being Air Tight,
contsglon is prevented, and the process of de-
composition Is often arrested for a long time
In any case where it is desirable to preserve the
body of a deceased friend for considerable time,
or TO transport the same to dist ant place for
sspuchre, they are invaluable. 1t Is a well
known fact that many of the Railroad Compa-
MES at the West, refuse to transport body, I'M
less placed in Metallic Case. The engraving
gives but general idea Of the Outline and shape Of
the Case. Enough, however, can be gathered
from 1t to form a toerable conception of its
proportions and general appearance. The skill
and simplicity Of finish which II embodes, can
be appreciated only seen in the Case itself
The Case permits view Of the entire body after
It is enclosed, the top being composed Of beautiful
french plate glass, sufficiently strong to resis

Munich in Bavaria was resolved upon, to

cult BY railroad Of six hundred miles Of
purely German country. The legendary
castle at Heidelberg was visited, and a
church, where Protestauts aud Catholics
have each place of worship and meet
peaceably at the same hour, their rivalry
being nearly Indifferent there. Stuttgart
is the capital of the Kingdom of wur-
temburg, has near 10000 inhabitants,
broad and well-built streets and thriving
manufactures. Both the palaces and the
stables of the royal family were visited,
wurtemburg having reputation for
horses in Germany, as also for fruit.
The public library at Stuttgart has 200.-
600 volumes. Left at IL P. NJ i,
changed cars at Ulm and Augsburgh and
arrived at Munich at 10 o'clock.
Even at the ancient towns, the new
prosperity of Germany supersedes the
old, and gives an impression of improve
ment instead of decay. The power OF
machinery, the influence of peace and the
diffusion of intelligence are everywhere
felt, and spirit of hopefulness is appa-
rent even in country life, which belongs
to the nineteenth century. The Art i'm

Mrs. Rollin Foot, of Cornwall, what ap-
peared to us very remarkable curiosity.
1t was rose from the centre Of which
had grown a stem an inch in length, and
on this another rose and again from this
a cluster of buds, the largest of which
was double--growing upon two stems, but
perfectly joined.
We learn that Mr.. A. L. Bingham,
of Cornwall, recently sold to S. Brennan
of California, twenty-one French Merino
Bucks and nine French Merino Ewes, at
remunerating prices For year past it
has not been our privilege to record so
many instances of this kind as formerly,
and the reason is too obvious to need men,

signs of improvement and have no doubt
that they will continue. The breeders of

no just occasion for dependency. Their
improved sheep, and horses will all be
wanted abroad, and all the improvement
in neat cattle that can be made, for some
time, will be wanted at home.
