SEED WHEAT-SMUT. The neighborin

SEED WHEAT-SMUT---Th neighboring
farmers are now making frequent enquiry In
our market for seed wheat. A bright but not
bleached grain, indicates that the wheat has
not been heated in the bulk-a fault which is
more to be dreaded than any Other, because it
impairs, fit does not destroy the Vigor of the
grain Of course, every farmer will prefer seed
clear of cheat and such like impurities, but as
these are easily got rid of-as We shall present
" show-their presence is by no means an In
superable objection. Cookie is another pest
which cap only be separated from the seed by
means Of good seive, though the small grains
of wheat will be carried off with it. But OF all
the nuisances with which wheat is infested,
smut is the worst; and as it is found this year
in most of the crops that have been brought to
market-sometime in considerable quantity
the farmer will be under the necessity of adopt
ing means to destroy its i'll effects. Every one
knows that smut generates smut, but 1T only
requires a little pains to render 1t wholly IN
operative The simplest meaos and perhaps
as effectual as any, is to make brine strong
enough to bear an egg, in which the wheat
should be stepped for two or three hours
Then take it out, let it drain on the barn floor
for few minutes, and roll it in Stacked lime
sufficient to give every grain good coatlng.,-
The caustic property of the lime destroys the
vitality of the smut Another good effect OF
the brine is to cause the seeds Of most foreign
weeds, such as cheat and spelt, to float on the
surface, whence they may be carefully skinned.
Many farmers have, no doubt, treated their
seed wheat in this manner for there is nothing
new about it, But simple caution is neces-
sary to those who have not. Both the steep
ing and the lime add to the bulk OF the wheat,
and in sowing, the seed is apt to be spread
with too light head. This may be guarded
against either by the scotsman shortening his
step, or grasping larger quantity in his hand.
Four pecks of wheat treated in the way recon-
mended, will measure out about five pecks
when ready to be taken to the 6eld.-Pete's-

A HORSE FINDS HIS WAY HOME. Mr..
Green Triplet of Flemingsburg, Kentucky,
sold horse to man who was buying horses
for the Government, early in the war. The
same horse was taken to Cincinnati and sold
to an officer in the U. s. army, and since that that
ago, when he returned of his own accord to the
farm of Mr., Triplet, who had raised him from
a colt. The horse was four years old when he
lett, and now returns aged eight years, having
been on quite tour since he left his home.
This is remarkable illustration of the wonder
full instinct possessed by the horse. Il shows
that the horse is possessed of strange in
stinct, and years do not wipe out his memory.

+ PARLIAMENTARY CHANGES. Parliamentary
changes were numerous in Great Britain be-
tween the time of the commencement OF the
present Parliament. and the close Of the late
session of that body. A London paper an
nounces that thirty-fve peers have died, some
of them full of years, as Glenelg at SO, and
Monteagle at 76; others in the very dawn Of
their manhood, like poor Lord Brownlow, who
was but "a when he fell victim to consump-
ton at Mentone; and Lord Harrington, who
had only just attained his majority. The
Commons, however, have been more fortunate
in this respect. only twelve vacancies having
been caused by death. Nor, with the grand
exception of Lord Palmerston himself, were
any of them men of much mark amongst the
number. No less than fourteen vacancies we're
occasioned in the Commons, throug b the con-
version of honorable gentlemen into roble
lords, by the two processes Of succession
and Creation" The London papers referred
to, however, think that the most startling OF
ali the changes ARE those by which ten mem
bers have been raised to the judicial bench.
Only three of them, Cairns, X elley and White
side, had achieved Parliamentary reputation.

Dr. CoLENso, LATE BISHOP OF NATAL
Doctor Colenso gained his notoriety by his de-
NAL of the authenticity of the Pentateuch,
which he pronounced to be no better than a
collection of romances, and it was tor this and
other heretical opinions that his spiritual su-
perior deposed him from his Office Dr.. Co.
lenso, however, did not choose to vacate his
episcopacy, and like the unhappy Gravity, OF
fiction, but with less reason, fatty declined to
obey the command Of competent authority, to
do so. s.
Upon this issue, Colenso and Twells went as
it we're to war. The new Bishop demanded
possession of the Cathedral, which was at once
taken possession Of, barricaded, and held by
the partisans of the old.
This strange seige lasted three days, and the
garrison only capitulated when the massive
doors of the House of God we're forced by the
officers Of the law
~ With the reduction Of the Cathedral by the
attacking party, the famous DR., Colenso, whose
name was once so universal topic Of conver-
sation, disappears from the ecclesiastical world,
and we trust that in some happier future he
may be able to discern the error OF his way, and
amend bis philosophy. .-NoJoh Tlrg.
