IiOnble life.

A farmer residing ia Bristol, Ontario
county, NY, is a somnambulist. One day
while working in field he lost an iron
tooth from the harrow with which he was
putting in his wheat crop. He hunted an
hour to find it, but WAS unsuccessful. Dur
ing the ensuing night he arose from his
bed, partially dressed himself, and started
out. The night was very dark; one of his
boys followed him with a lantern. He kept
up running talk with himself about the
drag too.h.p He walked in a straight
line to the field where he had been labor
ing, perhaps quarter of a mile from his
residence. Arriving at a certain point he
stopped short, kicked away some earth,
and brought forth the missing tooth
Then turning square around he proceeded
directly to his home. Arriving at the door
he performed the feat of lifting the heavy
stone step, which required the combined
strength of himself and ansther man to
raise the next morning. He threw the
iron under the step, let down the stone
easily, saying. 'fhere you are, and can't get
away again, 'and then cody, and apparent
ly without the least excitement, retired to
his chamber, disrobed himself and went to
bed. He was entirely unconscious the next
NOR ing of what he had been doing. Now
the question is, what peculiar power en-
abled the man to perform this wonderful
feats" 1t would seem little less than q
miracle, but of it's truth as related there Is
no doubt.-TrOy IN Y. J Times.

Chicago ChemicaI Fire engines.

We are glad to announce that the Council
OF the city of Plymouth, O.. have purchased
one OF the United States Chemical Fire En-
gines, manufactured at Chicago by the u. S.
Chemical Fire Engine Company. The test to
which one Of thes- machines was subjected on
Tuesday morning last, has eminehtly satisfied
every one IN this community that they have
not been over-rated, and that by skilful man
agement they are capable of performing won
ders almost beyond belief. The most optical
are now loud in their praise. Notwithstand-
ing the disadvantages under which it
worked, being frozen up when brought from
the depot, and having q valve broken
before il was fairly placed IN action
besides no one knowing how to work
II successfully. and enly having a limited
supply OF chemicals on hand, yet it is univ r
sally acknowledged that the quenshing of
the flames was in a great measure owing to
the chemical fire engine. Had it not been
Tor this ire anmh-lator there is no doubt that
the entire row Of buildings on the southeast
-lde OF the square would now be in ashes.
To view the buildings in juxtaposition to The
ruins, 1t seems az if either q miracle had been
performed or a number of steam engines had
been playing upon the ruined mass. 1t has
been incSntestably demonstrated that = small
quantity Of water saturated with this chemi-
cal compound has much more effect in sub
dslng FIRE than much larger quantity of
ordinary water, and the result will be that
q great TevOlu ion will be wrought in the
mode Of subduing fire, by the general intro
ductiOn and use of these chemical fire en-
gines.-PtyrnOtdh, Ohio, Ad1eTtfstF.

A STANDARD MEDICINE. the few
remedies FOR the curing Of disease, that has
stood the test Of experience and grown into
popular favor, is Hoohand's German Bitters.
This BItters have been before the public for
many years. and has been constantly grow.
ing in repAtation. In many cases OF Liver
Complaint. Dyspepsia, disorder Of the digss-
tive organs, &c, it is used with the greatest
success, and is often prescribed by the most
skillful and experienced physicians.
To those afflicted with any Of the diseases
arising from bilious disorders of the stomach.
and diseases resulting from disordered con-
dition Of the digestive organs, this Bitters is
said to be invaluable.
The Bitters Is not an alcoholic drink, and q
taste for alcoholic stimulants is therefore not
engendered by its frequent use.
We believe that if our peOple-our farmers
and mechanics, and ali who are obliged to
wsrk out Of doors in the wet and rainy Weath-
er Of the spring and fall, would use the Bit.
ters as directed, large proportion of the fe-
vers and bilious complaints with which we
are afflicted, would entirely eease.-Rsuieao,

TIE ALASKA SEAL FIsHERRs.-The House
Committee on Commerce have agreed on a
bill relative to ihe Alaska seal fisheries. 1t
provides that 100, 900 seals may be killed
yearly for the next twenty years, unless the
Secretary of the Treasury restricts the num-
Der. The annual rental for the privilege
of taking these seals is not to be less than
$50, 600, to be secured by deposit of gov
ernment bonds, and each skin must pay q
revenue tax of 50. The Secretary is to
lease the business Immediately to proper
and responsible parties to the best advan-
tage of the United Strtes, and With due re-
gard to the interests of the government,
the nation, of the inhabitants, and protec-
ton of the fisheries. The lease is to run
twenty years from the first of May next,
and the lessees are to give bond Of half
million dollars. The bill is long one, and
these are only its essential points. 1t does
not widely differ from the one passed by
the Senate nearly year ago. The idea of
Secretary Boutwell, is, that the government
itself had better go into the business, but in
this he was decisively overruled by the
committee

ANNEXATION OF Nova SCOTIA letter
from Nova Scotia says it IS asserted, On
pretty good authority, that the United
States Government has been sounded on
the subject of annexation, and has express
ed itself fsvorsbly, and is ready to open
negotiations so soon as the people, by
fair vote, desire annexation, and s nd dele
gates to Washington for that purpose. A
late number of the Yarmouth Nova Scotia)
Herald says: ''The people of the western
in favor of annexation to the United States.
From reports that come from eastward, the
feeling seems very much the same, aud
there can be no doubt that an immense ma
jority of the people desire annexation"
The editor proposes meeting for the pur-
pose of sending petition to the President
and Cong ess, and thinks it would be sign
ed by seven-eigAths of the population.

COMPRESSED LEATHER.-An article term
ed compressed leather" is now manufac
tured of the waste leather of shoe factories
and saddlery establishments, by first
cleansing it from dirt and other foreign
substances, then cutting it into fine shreds,
with the waste OF raw hides. and immers-
ing in water containing one per cent of sui
phuric acid, until the whole forms q plastic
pulp, which can then be pressed into
moulds of the desired size. After these
have been dried by means of steam, the
masses are passed between rollers, one of
which is rough and the other smooth, for
the purpose of producing surfaces in imi-
tation of flesh and grain sides of leather
To render the whole pliable, one pound of
glycerine is added for each hundred pounds
Of material, For many purposes, as for
the soles of shoes, etc., this artificial SUBJ
stance completely replaces the natural
leather, and can be sold at much cheap
er rate.

A Doc SToRY.-A young man named
John Bradshaw was accidentally killed
while cunning with some friends near
Lynchburg, Va, on Saturday. All but one
of his companions started for town to OBJ
tain assistance, the other remaining to
watch over his remains. Two favorite
hunting dogs of his, however, at once ap-
preached their dead master, and by pite-
Gus moans exhibited their grief, and in the
most savage manner drove off the youth
who had been lett behind. They then took
position close by the body, and even when
friends from the city reached the spot, they
refused to let them come near; and 1t was
only after rough means were adopted, and
one gentleman severely bitten, that the
dogs were driven of, and the body cared
for. -.

MINING UNDER TIE SEA.-There is vast
copper mine in England, where shafts ex-
tend many hundred yards under the sea.
The moaning of the waves as they dash
against the rocks is forever sounding ID
those gloomy sisles. When the storms
come, the sound of the waters become SO
terrific that even the boldest miners can
not stay below, but leave their work and
come out upon the earth. Overhead are
masses of bright copper streaming through
the gallery in all directions, traversed by
network of thin red veins # iron. and over
ali tie salt water drips, drips down from
tiny crevices in the rock. Immense wealth
Of metal is contained in these roofs, but T o
miner dares to give it another stroke with
the pickax. Already there has been one
days work too much upon 1t, as huge
wedge of wood driven inIo the rock bears
witness The wedge is all that keeps the
sea from bursting in upon them. Yet there
are three tiers of galleries where men work
day by day, not knowing but at some fatal
hour the food may be upon them, render

VERY FAR AWAY.
BY wM. ALExAxDER.

One touch there is of magic white,
SURPRISING southern mountains snow,
That to far sails the dying light
Lends, where the dark ships onward go
Uuou the golden highway broad
That Il ads up 70 the isles Of God.
One touch Of light more magic yet,
OF rarer snow meath moon or star,
Where, wi b her graceful sails all set,
Some happy vessel seen afar,
As if in an enchanted sleep,
Steers DER the tremulous sslvered deep.
o shipl o sail far must We be
Ere CLEANS Like that upon ye light.
Ger golden spaces of the sea,
Fom mysteries Of the lucsnt night.
Such touch comes never 10 the boat
Wherein across the waves We foat.
o CLEANS more magic and divine,
LIES wtitest sail ye still refuse,
And flying on before us shine
Upon some distant bark ye choose.
By night or Gay, across the spray,
That sail is very far away
