: UNpARDoNABIE RUsE OF A SMOKER .on
Friday last large party of exeursionists nom
9oderich, Clinton, Mitchell, slratiord' ana
other places in the West, came down over the.
Grand Trunk to this city. There was no
smoking car on, the train, ana lovers OF the
weed were therefore greatly annoyed. In
order to enjoy this luxury IN comfort, lawyer
named Woods a resident OF Stratford, it is
said perpetfated what he considered huge
ioke. :but which was in reality very small and
very mean transaction. Entering one OF the
cars filed with Goderieh people, to whom he
was unknown, he shouted in tone of author
ity, All ladies inthis car are requested to take
seats in one ofthe forward cars" Thinking he
was an official of the company, the innocent
though obliglng people Immediately got'u ana
went In search OF seats elsewhere. The tram
was in motion at the time, and as many OF the
ladies had parcels to look after, and some even
had children, in their arms, it was with much
difficulty and no small danger that they moved
from car to car. They also experienced
conciderable trouble in finding seats, the cars
being we'll filed AS soon as the ladies had all
left the car the Individual who had perpetra-
ted this ,1ngentlemanly act pulled out his pipe
with the remark, snow boys, you can smoke
away, thewomen have all gone. He and his COM
panions thus seated themselves comfortably in
the places from which the ladies had been
driven, and smoked away in ease during the re-
mainder of the journey. On discovering that
they had been deceived, the ladies, of course,
were furious. Hamilton Ont.) Times, Aatgastt

nut, butternut and sassafras trees pop
lar is plenty here and the trees grow
large, tall and thrifty. In the absence |
of pine, hemlock or other soft wood pop
lar is generally used for house building
and fence boards. Occasionally bass
wood trees may be seen growing.
Fruit trees are numerous and grow
tall and thrifty-all kinds of fruit trees
grown in northern ATTITUDES are found
here. The peaches on the trees are
now as large as mans thumb. Straw
berries are cultivated on an extensive
scale and have been in the market for
some time.
Winter wheat is exclusively sown,
and the fields never looked better than
now. The crop is more to be depended
upon here than on the Illinois praries !;
there, the chinch bug has made sad hay
oc for number of years until last year,
and this year. the farmers being encour-
aged, have sown to greater extent. In
northern Illinois, Spring Wheat is the
only safe crop, a. the Winter Wheat
kills out in the winter-Corn is raised
every where and is the most reliable
crop West
Irish potatoes are grown very profit
able here but will sprout again and grow
the second crop if the first is not harv
! estcd when ripe. In all field crops thu
: soil produces abundantly, and there il
! every encouragement offered to dense
n settlements.
Iron ore is very abundant in this sec

Bsge The spots on the surface of the
sun, first observed by Calico, and by
him supposed to be clouds, were long
ago demonstrated to be cavities or open
ings in the suns luminous atmosphere.
A still further advance towards full
explanation of these spots has recently
been made by French and English OBJ
servers. 1t has been ascertained, in the
first place, that they are owing to up
ward and downward currents in the
suns atmosphere; next, that the in
terror dark core of the sun is a nebulOus
gaseous mass of high temperature, but
of feeble radiating power, while its
light-giving atmosphere is Of lower
temperature, but of great radiating
power; and, thirdly, that planetary at
traction has some connection, though
as yet not exactly determined what,
with the formation and disappearance
of the spots.

Bayn Chief Justice Chase, with Mrs
Sprague and Miss Chase was entertained
in brilliant evening party at Rich
mond, on Friday evening, last by Judge
Burnham, of the Hastings Court. Dan
cling began at 10 o'clock, the music being
furnished by the band from Camp Grant.
The Wing says that "while upon two
floors dancing and mirth held sway, in
the parlors ChiefJustice Chase was con-
yersing with the guests of less gay
turn. He received all presented with
the quiet dignity of an old-fashioned
gentleman. Next to him, in point of
interest, was Gen. Stoneman, the new
commandment of this Military District,
clad in plain black, and as easy in party
attire as in farmer-like garb which he
wears at headquarters. He was accom-
panied by his wife, who seems just the
companion he ought to have selected
for life. Although the festivities con-
tinued until much later hour, the
Chief Justice and his party left about
~ O'clock"

SINGULAR.-TheM Manchester Journal
says a soldier of the 9Th Vt. named
Williams, who was wounded in one of
the battles of the Wilderness, May 5th,
1864, has ever since carried the ball in
his head. 1t entered under his left eye
and lodged above and back of the pal
tract it. On the night of May ODD,
while asleep, Mr.. Williams asawaken-
ed by a choking sensation, and being
unable to clear his throat, with his fin
gers drew out in great pain what proved
to be the bullet, in very ragged shape,
which had remained there for over two
years. The bullet weighed little over
one ounce.

VALUABLE SHEEP.-One of our eX-

Salisbury, n. H., has flock of sheep,
which during the Winter were housed
in place where their wool became filled
with hay seed. They have been out to
pasture for several weeks past, and the
excessive wet weather has caused the
seed to sprout, and they are now bear
