What would the writer have said had he seen our

Mr.. Cuthbert Johnson quotes another practical writer
as to the best method of forming composts heaps in
the fields, which, however, is a point upon which | do
not think much need be said here, because [ believe
sufficient care and skill are bestOW upon the forma-
ton and moulding of our pens, which latter operation
cannot be too much attended TO, since it prevents the
escape both of liquid and gaseous matters. [ would
suggest that it would be an improvement if the mould
were taken out of trench all round, and the trench
liquid which otherwise runs to waste, especially in
times of heavy rains. The following precautions are
well worthy our attention, especially upon the occa-
sion OF cleaning out our stables and cow-sheds :-"T The
dung drawn from the yard TO the compost heaps,
should notbe thrown up loosely, so as to cause fermen-
tatlOn-on the contrary, the carts should draw their
loads on to the heaps, and so compress them, and
thereby retard fermentation, and for this same pur-
pose the dung should be carefully spread. If the
dung has not been previously mixed in the yard, it
should be so In drawing to the heaps, by taking a few
loads from one kind and a few from another. (The
propriety of this is apparent when we consider the
sheep as before specified) The whole heaps should
then be completely covered with clay, or soil previ-
ously collected in rows by the sides of the heaps so as
etectuGUy to enclose the dung in crusts. 10 these the
dung will be preserved in a very perfect state, with
little or no fermentation, and without loss by exhala-
ton or evaporation. The heaps, within ten days or a
fortnight of the time, they are wanted, should be care

most valuable manure brought into the market. It's

that no authentic telegram from the EN-
peror of Germany exists in which it is
stated that the Emperor Napoleon had sur
rendered to him bis sword. The Nord-

the SECOND telegram, addressed by the EN-
perof William to the Emperor Augusta on
September 1, 1870, at 7. Is P. NJ, from
the battlefield of Sedan, never reached
its destination. The bearer lost his way.

A SOLEMN FUNERAL SERvICE,-in me-
mory of the late Emperor Napoleon, has
been celebrated in Florence with much
imposing splendour, in the Church of San
to Croce, An inscription was placed over
the centra! gateway, and the interior of
the ediice was draped with black. More
than five thousand persons were present,
including senators aud deputies, military
officers, the members Of the municipality,
and other officials. At the conclusion of
the ceremony the committee by which it
had been organised, sent a telegram to the
Empress Engine at Chislehurst, informing
her of the demonstration of sympathy

Sewnmull Bhodri have persisted with the

was also felt in the Rohree division, at
Sehwan, Dadur. At SINGAPORE the
shocks were so much felt in the town that
small articles, such as the bottles of spirit
vendors exposed for sale, and the pots Of
confectioners, We're upset. 1t is reported
that if the shocks had continued houses

WARLIKE PREPARATIONS Intelligence
has been received at the Navy Depart
ment at Washington, from a naval officer
Of high rank, dated Tien Tsin, at the mouth
of the Peiho River, and the nearest har-
bour to Pekin, stating that the Chinese SOL
diers are being rapidly armed with the
latest improved patterns of breech-loaders,
and that the foreign population is alarmed
at the prospect Ola disturbance. Whether
this is being done for the purpose of sue
cess in the event of a revolutionary move
ment, or to be employed against the fore
IGN population, is the question just now.
The naval officers at Washington, who are
familiar with the condition of Chinese
affairs, are of opinion hat it is a prepara-

latpre Of its moral and mental blindness before
the Spring Season opens He has taken the
first professional step towards it--he has taken
q diagnosis, and concludes thai the afi;otion OF
that body is uot that Of blindness" but
quoting his language, blindness amt the
word-it is pure 'cussadness' in the Legislature,
or. in other words, total depraviy.
Having taken the diagnosis and determined
the character of the maiady. the next thing for
tae Dir. to do is to prescribe the remedy. What
is il. Dr.? Your tsvori.e remedies-'Wbi:e
Sulphur Water" and raw oysters on the hall
shell will hardly do in this case. ''Despe-
rate Diseases it IS said, require desperate

We fear that the learned DR.. IS disposed to
