ANIMATION 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 favorably. and Is ready to open
negotiations so soon as the people, by q
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, and
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 Congress, and thinks it would be sign
ed by seven-eighths of the population.

THE ALASKA SEAL FISHERIES. The House
Committee on Commerce have agreed on q
bill relative to the Alaska seal fisheries. 1t
provides that 100000 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
$50 900. to be secured by deposit of gov
ernment bonds, and each skin must pay a
revenue tax of S. The Secretary is to
lease the business Immediately to proper
and responsible parties to the best advan-
tage of the United States. and with due re-
gard to the interests of tho 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 n
million dollars. The bill is a 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 decisiyely overruled by the
committee

Double Life.

A farmer residing in Bristol, Ontario
county, NY, is 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 ii, 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 lantern. He kept
up running talk with himself about the
'.drag tooth" He walked in 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 steD, which required the combined
strength of himself and another man to
raise the next morning. He threw the
iron under the step, let down the stone
easily, saying, ''there you are. and can't gel
away again, and then cody, and apparent
ly without the least excitement, retired to
his chamber, disrobed himself and went tc
bed. He was entirely unconscious the mex
morning of what he had been doing. Nov
the question is, what peculiar power en-
abled the man to perform this wonderful
feat :" 1t would seem little less than {
miracle, but of its truth as related there il
no doubt.-Tfoy { ~ Y. Tines.

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 In
those gloomy aisles. When the storms
come, the sound of the waters become so
terrific that even the boldsst 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 q
network of thin red veins Ct iron, and over
all the salt water drips, drips down from
tiny creyices in the rock. Immense wealth
of metal is contained in these roofs, but DO
miner dares to give it another stroke WITH
the picksx. Already there has been one
days work too mitch upon it, as huge
wedge of wood driven into 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 hood may be upon them, render
ine all escape as hopeless ss it was in the
days of Noah. The ave-stricken visitor
hurries away from the scene with q hear
appalled, in view of the hourly dangers.

the birds swarm all over the city, take

in countless numbers on the wharfs in the
vicinity of grain warehouses, and increase
and multiply in the garrets of buildings,
wherever a clapboard is off or window

A STANDARD MEDrcISK.-Among the few
remedies Tor the curing Of disease, that has
stood the test OF experience and grown into
popular favor, is Hoofand's German Bitters.
This BItters have been before the public tor
many years, and has been constantly grow.
ing in reputation. La many cases OF Liver
Complaint, Dyspepsia, disorder Of the dlges-
tive organs, &C., it is used with the greatest
success, and is often prescribed by the most
skiiIful 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 a
taste for alcoholic stimulants is therefore not
engendered by its frequent use.
We believe that il our people-our farmers
and mechanics, and all who are Obliged to
work out of doors in the wet and rainy wealth
er of the spring and fall, would use the BIT
tiers as directed, large proportion of the fe-
vers and bilious complaints with which We
are afflicted, would entirely cesse.-Reuieac,

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 ever his remains. Two favorite
hunting dogs of his, however, at once ap-
proeched their dead master, and by pite-
ous means exhibited their grief, and in the
most eavsee manner drove off the youth
who had been left 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.

The census of 1871 is attracting as much
attention in Great Britain as that which is
to be taken the present year in this country
receives among our own people. One of
the most difficult things to be attained by
means Of any census is knowledge of the
social and sanitary condition of the people
In Scotland some valuable information was
recently obtained in relation to the number
of houses. the number Of rooms in each
house, and whether the house had win
dows. Out OF 666, ,786 houses. 246, 601 had
only two rooms, and 227, 723 but one room I;
while 2, 964 had no windows. The squalid
misery SO common in other English-speak-
ing countries is not so common in the rural
districts here. A report of the number of
families in one house would be more valua-
BILE; and yet if the houses in the United
States were numbered in the way that has
been indicated, some facts might be re-
vealed OF which we have no conception now.

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
Upon the golden highway broad
That leads up to 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 il in an enchanted sleep.
Steers DER the tremulous s.lvered deep.

Ere CLEANS like that upon ye light.

From mysteries of the lucent night,
Such touch comes never to the boat
Wherein across the waves We float.

And flying on before Us shine
Upon some distant bark ye choose.

EFFECT OF Cold ON Cast may sur
prise some of our readers, who have given
no attention to such subjects, to learn that
the illuminating power of gas depends in a
very marked ratio upon the temperature of
the air in which it is burned. Thus, il has
been found. taking the amount of light
emitted at 65 degrees of Fahrenheit as n
standard of 100 parts, that at 80 degrees,
or the freezing point, the percentage of
light is only rs; and that at degrees
above zero it is only .33. or about one
third of what it is at 65 degrees. On the
other hand, increased heat is not accom-
panied bya corresponding amount of light
since the temperature Of boiling water
causes an increase of only four per cent
over the standard; and that of 320 degrees
or boiling paraffine, only Is per cent. The
loss Of Illuminating power upon the appli-
cation Of cold is supposedto depend direct
ly upon the condensation of the hydro
carbon vapors; since. at q temperature of
degrees solid mass was found CONCEAL
ed upon the sides of the tube containing
among other substances, teczole, ammonia
and nitric acid.
