Prospects for Trade.

dun, BARLOW & Co.'s mercantile
agency have favored us with their
views Of prospects for the fall trade,
which are full Of encouragement. Con.
sidering the suddenness and violence
Of the crisis OF last Autumn, the COM
mercial fabric OF the country has not
shown serious signs Of disorder, II the
number or importance Of mercantile
failures arc TO be taken as IN index as
TO its condition. II Is q fact, as sur.
prising as II is gratifying, that, within
the past SIX months, there have abso-
lutely been fewer failures in number,
and certainly fewer in prominence, than
for the same period in the average Of
years. On the contrary, 1t is observed
that there has been very remarkable
reduction Of Indebtedness in all classes
and in almost all sections OF the coun-
try. It is safe 10 soy that the internal
mercantile Indebtedness in the country
to-day Is not more than two.thirds what
II was at this time last year. Indeed,
so great has been the tendency toward
liquidation, that 1t alone has been q
cause OF restricted business and o ham.
pered trade, as much as the want Of
confidence In tile stability Of the coun-
try, or the safety Of credit. ssss 5-su

Tucked IN With 4 Rat.

It isn't pleasant for ladies to meet
rats in the daytime, and loud screams
are apt 10 follow such an encounter. But
night and loneliness add to the terror,
and fainting Is not uncommon. A conf.
cal scene occurred in big old house in
England, infested by rats. ysEP'
A large company we're visiting ut the
house, and among them q stalwart old
lady, positive in her opinions and over.
bearing in manners, but with mortal
antipathy to rats. She would not sleep
in this house without lamp burning
all night in her chamber, and the
chamber-maid before leaving, tucked
in the white dimity curtains carefully
TO keep out the rats.
One night the household was startled
by succession OF violent screams
issuing from her room. There was q
general rush TO learn the cause, and the
company could not restrain theii
laughter, when they saw Miss Cove
standing in the middle OF the room,
barefooted, In her nightdress, aud
shrieking at the top Of her voice. The
maid, in tuckiDg her in, had tucked in
q rat, who could not get out, and, on
waking, she saw him squatting beside
her face on tho pillow. 81

A Thunderstorm in Natal.

An extract from a letterby Mr.. Dunn,
tho eeslogist now On a special exploring
expedition 10 the Pransyaal, gives the
following description Of thunder and
hail storm which he experienced at
PietermAritzburg. on the nth Of April
f'About 425 in the afternoon, l was
walking with q friend, when suddenly
the wind began to blow the dust about.
At the same time ! observed that the
southwest portion Of the sky was filed
with an exceedingly black cloud, COR
tracing upwards to point. Presently
a few drops fell, then heavier ones, and
then solitary great Jumps OF ice. On
the sight Of these we dashed under an
iron yerandRh, aud none too soon. A
loud rushing sound came from the
southwest, and eventually hAilstones,
literally mingled with great masses OF
Toe ofyery Irregular forms, poured down
with great violence. The hailstones
were seldom less than one inch in diam
eter; the average was from one and n
half to two inches in diameter. These
were Of very regular spherical form,
and consisted OF nucleus Of white
snow, with an envelope Of hard trans
parent ice. Sometimes they presented,
when broken through, q concentric ar.
rangement OF zones, alternately white
and Opaque and transparent. The ir.
regular masses we're formedo Of nucleus
generally longer in one direction than
the others, from two to four inches in
diameter; projecting all over were
stalactites, each one about the thickness
OF little finger, and presenting, when
broken across, an Rgate-like structure,
as though aggregation had bnilt them
up. OF these masses / weighed q fewwith
the following results /: Three weighed
over eight ounces, two over sir ounces,
and one over four ounces. The last,
which was the largest, / found myself,
and was weighed some time after the
storm was over. Those below were
weighed by others, but I saw some, and
know the others are right from the per.
sons who, took the weights. One weigh.
ed seven and half ounces, one eight
ounces, and one six ounces. This last was
weighed fully fifteen minutes after the
storm had ceased, and had suffered
much from melting. II was an irregular
mass, with projections all over It. The
storm ragged with fury for seven or eight
minutes, the great Jumps could be dis.
,tinguiShed as they descended, and then
rs they fell on the road they broke into
fragments, scattering all round. In
about two minutes from the commence
ment the whole road was completely
covered, and appeared as though cover.
ed with snow. The damage was enor-
nous. On many roofs fully half the
tiles were broken; not merely cracked,
but very frequently the masses went
right through into the houses. Forth.
nately for windows, there was no wind,
or the damage would have been much
heavier. Many OF the corrugated iron
roofs are denied oil over, and have o
pock.marked aspect, while some CORFU
gated iron roofs are completely riddled;
thestones went right through, as though
they had but paper TO encounter. !

roofs, and therefore can Youch for the

A sensible, practical farmer says
that hehas often noticed that calves
would thrive better on milk that Is not
rich in'butter than on what Is common
~ called very rich milk. The nutritive
elements Of milk reside chiefly in the
casino. II you have COW, that gives
particularly rich milk, aud one that
gives a quality poorer in butter, IL is
better 10 feed the calf onethe milk Of
the later. The calf will thrive better,
and you viii get butter from tie
milk OF the flrst COW.

The local paper is an absolute necessity
TO the counly and cJmmnnity where it is

supply tie place of the home paper. That
should he the tiis. love of every man and
woman, for With the paper is the locality
identified. Tie paper gives the county
and town where printed much OF their I'M
| por;ance in the world, and gives in detail
the local news, which cannot he gained by
any other source. Every days issue Of the
paper is SO mHca local history, and5 tire
| rise, growth and development of the town
and c0GDty can be measured and recorded
only by the local newspaper that constant
Il is gathering its items. People do not
properly appreciate their lomr newspapers.
They measure t e value Of a ncwsparertoc
much by the number of columns it con-
tans Tie home paper at any price is the
cheapest paper one cln take, for in il is
found the information TO be obtained from
no other source.
Another thing to lie taken into consider
