Snoring and its Cure.

Rev. Mir. Cazalet's theory of the causa- tion of snoring is ingenious, and, from the success of his remedial measures in our own hands, would seem to be correct He writes: C Snoring is caused in this manner: The individual, as he falls off into settled repose, leaving his mouth open, inhales spasmodically through the nostrils this produces compression of the muscles of the soft palate and the back of the mouth; the air rushing along the passage of the nostrils through the contracted space, is vibrated into sound, which escapes at the mouth, and partially through the nostris, each act of inhalation having the effect of producing the muscular contraction, which exists only when the mouth is kept open is entirely involuntaly, and hence the in dividual sooner is utterly unconscious of the fearful and unearthly sounds he is mak- ing"
 The above being the explanation of the act of snoring, the obvious remedy Is to give to the individual who thus makes night hideous for those near him, the habit of sleeping with his mouth closed. Diff ficulties, of course, environ this object Mir. Cazalet mentions the habit of keeping the mouth closed "during the ordinary avocations of life," as conducting to com mand over the action of the mouth The position of the sleeper's head is also of no little importance It should be as far as possible removed from that which would form an obtuse angle of the head with the neck. The author remarks, "the power of snoring, if may so term it, dmnlshes as the chin is brought gradually nearer to the chest"
 If the mouth cannot be kept closed dur ing sleep, or if the habit of closing it be acouired and maintained with difficulty, Mr.. Cazalet recommends the use of what he terms the Night Respirator''-a very simple arrangement, and one by which the purpose in view is effectually secured. It is merely bit of muslin of oval shape at tached to light steel frame and fastened by elastic bands behind the neck. If the mouth remain open, breathing is easily per formed through the gauzy medium; but the effect is rather to induce closure of the mouth, and respiration is performed through its legitimate channel, the nostrils. There is no inconvenience, nor discomfort; but the whole seems to us a triumph over a most annoying in6rmity, which deserves

REsuRREcTED.-We are informed of a cu rious circumstance that took place last week up town. Saturday the papers contained an obituary notice of the death of Mir. Morris, and an invitation to his friends to attend his funeral from the corner of Mar ket and Brook streets Saturday morning the hearse and carriages were at the door. The body of the dead man had been cloth ed in the funeral raiment and lnclosed lh coffin. Numbers of friends had assem- bled. Suddenly the man in the coffin gave signs of life Rumor states that he kicked the coffin lid off. At any rate he was saved from death by burial alive, and is doing well. It is said that he took laudanum Friday, whether by accident or purposely we know not. and was thrown into stupor in which he was nearly entomed.-Lou's- yiUe Democrdt.

Rs~It is choice cows, sheep, horse, and mules that yield the greatest returns to skilful husbandmen. The production of scrubs, or mean stock of any kind, Is rather a mean business in pecuniary point of view. Raise superior animals on rich pc rennial grasses, if you seek good income from your farm in stock husbanory. Such animals may obtain a part of their living from unimproved old fields, particularly sheep; but they want good clover and pea hay in winter, or hay made from the En- glsh grasses. The most prominent error in stock growing is the attempt to rear flne hogs, cattle and sheep on scanty and defec- tive food. Some want great deal ot meat, milk or wool for little or nothing. They ask nature to make them rich while they lie in the shade in summer, and sit by the fire in winter, and leave their poor animals to nearly or quite perish from neglect Give stock the same diligence and care be- slowed on crop of corn, and the p1oht will be far greater because the one branch of business is now pushed rather too far. while the other Is sadly neglected. Hence there is more money in growing horse,, mules and wool, than in growing our great commercial staple.
