HYDRoPHoBIA.-Al aborer on one of the Sou
thern plantations was attacked with hydro
phobia in it's worst form, and was fastened
in an clubhouse, rs every one supposed, to
die; but in one corner was heap OF raw
onions, which was all the room contained. In
very short time, some one visiting the man
found HIM much better and the heap of onions
much diminished. In a few days the man
devoured the whole quantity Of onions, and
was entirely recovered. This may seem rid

GoLDsMITH's Natural History, at one time
very popular school book, contains many
amusing errors. Thus, it states that the
ostrich lays her eggs in the sand, leaves them
to be Matched by the heat of the sun. The
Acclimatization Society, of Australia, how

A flock of ostriches was sent up the country
by the society, and placed under
the charge OF an inquisitiye and geological
squatter. The guardian reports that the
ostriches have formed nests, In one of which
twelve young birds were Matched. During
the period of incubation, about six weeks,
the male and female sit upon the nest by
turns, both being seldom absent at the same
time. The nest is built in sandy hollow,
without grass or rubbish, and the eggs are
entirely without cover.
