PRHssRvATloE OF MnAr Ut suLPHuAous
PuHIoATioH.--We had an opportunity on Thurs
day last, Of seeing q fowl which had been
preserved for more than week In excellent
condition for the tabo, by being subjected to
fumgatlon with sulphur, according to process
recommended by DR.. DewaE OF Kirkoaldy. The
process is similar to that which DR.. Dswar has
recently practlced, with great success, for the
prevention Of cattle plague, and consists in
simply placing the meat to be preserved in a
room In which sulphur 10 burned, and which
Is closed as far as possible against tho admission
Of fresh air. TheprocesR has been repeatedly
tested within the last few weeks, and always, We
are Informed, with the most satisfactory results.
A sleeps head was Kept fresh for IS days; a
crab, which is known to be peculiarly perisbA-
BILE edible, was kept perfectly sweet for eight
days and lambs head aud pluck, after being
kept four days and a bali, was prepared for tho
table, snd pronounced TO be In excellent condi-
iion. The plan succeeds quite as we'll with hsh
-haddceks, which had been fumigated two or
three times, having been found quite fresh after
seven dsys. II is evident that process SO sim
pie, and so easily praoticed, will confer great
benefit upon private households; while, IL found
equally efficaoiOus on more extended SCALE il
is calculated to produce an entire revolution In
the preparation aud preservation Of what are

A STRANGE STORY.

AaoovRRY OF A LAnuB SUN OF MoHHY THROUGH
a DAEAA--THs VALUE or A RELoE.
The Lansing Democrat mentions some oiroum-
atnnces of a most remarkable nature in respect
to the recovery Of large sum Of money which
had been lost Eve years. The strange and almost
incredible story is told as follows by the lucky
finder, who passed through that city for Montreal
last week, for the purpose OF having the bills re-
deemed at the bank;--
On the 9Th Of December 1861, Mr. S.,
who then lived on the Grand River road near this
city, came to market with lond of wheat, no.
eofnpanied by his son, the narrator Of these oir
oumstsuees. The load Of wheat, with span Of
horses, was sold for the sum Of S6sT 30, and the
man returned home. Soon after their arrival,
sbs father was taken with ohoers morbus, and
died Just at daylight the next morning.
After hs funeral search was made Tor tho
money which until then the family had been
too sorely afflicted 10 think of--but to their as
tonishment only 1880 could be found. What
had bscome Of the remainder was 3 question
which could not be satisfactorily solved. The
whole house wns thoroughly searched, and at
leusth II was concluded that the money must
have been lost on the way homei yet after ad-
vortising extensively through the columns Of the
Pre- 6, and offering a reward Of 900, no trace OF
II could be discovered, aud tho event gradually
pAksed out Of mind.
But now comes the sequel unlocked for and
Singular, In which the money is recovered

the family, now resides In iugham county. hAa
been recently suffering with painful felon,
which tortured him so with the loss OF sleep,
that on Thursday night Of the week before last,
he took dose OF opium under the influence Of
which after retiring to bed he fell into pro-
found slumber. In the midst OF this sleep, be
dreamed over the trip made TO this city with
his father, every circumstance Of which was re-.
pCated minutely, with the Incidents Of time and
place Of sale both Of the wheat and horses, the
counting Of the money, ete, 10 addition 10 whloh
he saw, in his dream, that two men were closely
watching his father while receiving the money
that they afterwards went away, when his fathel
took OF his hat and plaoed nearly oil the money
inside the lining Of oilskin.
This dream, several times repeated, hnall,
awoke Mr.. g., who related 1t to his wife, wh
had not yet retired, when she went to an oil
chest, long unused, and brought out the hA
which the old man had last worn. II vas oil
