Extensive Thefts from the Montreal
Custom House.

A case of stealing goods from the
CustOmhouse at Montreal has been
under investigation lately. 1t appears
that about a year ago T. Dolan import
ed from England a case containing
seven pieces of black silk Of peculiar
make, which had not been previously
brought to this market. Having left
the goods IN bond to serve his own con-
yenience, about six weeks ago he in
structed Boyd, Egan & Co. to pay
the charges, but on application being
made the box was found to have
disappeared. The detectives were in
formed of the matter, and they learned,
been purchased by Mr.. II. Merrill, of
Notre Dame street, In October last from
NJ. st. Jean, who sold them on account
or NJ. Lafond, druggist, for S697.
Dolan values his goods at S10,600 NJ
Lafond at first allowed that he bought
the silks from peddler named Tonizet-
ii, who was found by an officer in
Providence, r. l., where he is
engaged in business. The latter not only
denied all knowledge of the affair, but
offered to return and give evidence in
the case if the Government would guar
antee him immunity from his creditors,
to whom he owes some s., GEO. In ad-
dition he made an affidavit that he had
no connection with the transaction.
The officer returning, showed this docu-
ment to Mr.. Latond, who then stated
that he had been in error. His dealing
had been with one of Tonizetti's employ
ees, Charles Chanvey, whom the officers
discovered at Fall River Mass
Chanvey likewise made an aft
davit that be knew nothing of
the matter, and on seeing this DISPOSE
ton Mr.. Lafond explained that he had
again been in error. Tonizetti had
been mentioned as a reference by the
man from whom he had bought, and
who was unknown to him. No arrests
have as yet been made 1t is said that
during the past ten or twelve years
goods to the value of $4O,0 or $780,
600 have mysteriously disappeared from
the Custom house. The losses in such
cases are made good by the Government.

SerfdOm i'm Russia,

The Russian nobility, like the ex-
shareholders of the south, are not
pleased with the new ideas and condi-
lions which emancipation has brought
about. They lately held meeting at
Moscow to devise measures for restor-
ing serfdom under another name. They
would like to take away from the for
mer serfs all power of self government,
and, under the name of administrators
vest the former owners with large part
of their ancient authority. As long as
Alexander Ii. lives, at least, they will
find 1t easier to plan than to succeed in
the reactlonary design. The heir-ap-
parent is said to be more of an old
fashioned Russian that his father, but
even he would hardly venture on be-
slowing his sanction on an act both dan
gerous and iniQuitous

A Partisan Horror.

Paris Correspondence Boston Gazette.
A restaurant keeper here went day
or two since into his cellar to bottle
several casks of wine he had received.
He left his head servant In charge of
the establishment. Three hours after
he went into the cellar gentleman
called to see him, and the servant went
down stairs to summon him. The ser
want ran back in great terror, and could
only gasp: BE quick-the rats
my master T. All the persons present
ran into the cellar to which the almost
speeches. servant pointed, and
found a black mass on the floor:
it was the restaurant keeper, with rats
swarming SO thickly upon him as to
conceal him entirely. They were de-
vouring him. 1t was necessary to kick
them off, SO engrossed were they with
their delicious meal. 1t was some time
before their victim could be restored to
consciousness, when he said he remem-
bered feeling faint soon after he entered
the cellar, and this was all he knew
He had swooned, and the vermin had
swarmed on him. 1t is feared be will
be disfigured for life.

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
A Case of Extraordinary Tenacity of LII

A case OF extraordinary Tenacity of Life.
From The Bridgeton N. - Daily, May1.
The Lands. Carruth shooting affair
has been the means of bringing to light
a few remarkable cases of shooting and
remarkable recovery of persons whose
brains have been perforated by pistol OF
rifle balls.
William Y. Robson is aged thirty.
three years, and is bother bv profess

fought by the Army of the Potomac.
except Antietam and Burnside's mud
campaign against fredericksburg. and
was IN over thirty general en-
gagements besides a number of
minor ones. and was three
times badly wounded. Robinson re.
ceived his first wound at the battle OF
Williamsburg, being severely wounded,
and it was supposed for long time
fatally wounded, in the thigh. His
second wound was received in the battle
known as the second Bull Run. The
third wound-in the muscles of the left
arm, was received during Gen. Grant s
succession of battles before Petersburg.
The second wound was received in
August 20, 1862. The sixth regiment,
to which Robinson was attached, was
supporting the 9Th regiment, New Jer-
sey volunteers, which had been deploy-
ed as skirmlshers and was charging on
the enemy. Of the shooting Robinson
recollects that a sharp pain darted
through his ear and into his head, and
then he remembered nothing n ore.
He was left for dead, and remained on
the battle field at least an hour, but was
finally removed ano taken to the divis-
ion hospital, suffering untold agony
from musket ball wound The bali,
either mimic or musket ball, entered
the left ear, cutting off the pendulous
lobe, and taking an upward course
through the brain lodged near
the upper part of the occipital bone.

was returned to his regiment and per.
formed faithful service with it, fol
which he was promoted to a sergeantcy

close of the war. In a conversation

kemedy for Cahbngc NNnrms.

The American Garden says: Helle-
bore, lime, salt, and similar substances
have been used with varied success for
the destruction of cabbage worms. 1t
is now stated that bran and buckwheat
flour answers the purpose better than
any other remedies that have been
tried. The bran is simply busted over
tie infested cabbages as soon as the
worms make their appearance. If the
worms are very thick, about a handful
OF bran is required to each cabbage
head, and sometimes it is necessary to
90 over the plants a second time A
hundred weight of bran Is sufficient for
an acre: 1t must be applied when the
worms are young. When they are full
grown or very strong it does not appear
to affect them. The buckwheat -four is
sifted upon them by means Of a sieve,
IN the evening or In the morning-when
the dew is on the plants. If one appli-
cation does not destroy the worms, a
second one should be made. 1t IS
probable that wheat flour, fine Indian
meal, or any other pulverulent farina-
ceous substance would have the same
effect.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Pea Bug.

1t seems that the pea weevil is gain,
ing ground in Canada, which has gener-
ally been pretty free from its ravages.
The Canada Farmer has the following
on remedies for the trouble: The rem
edy usually employed is to put the af-
fected peas in hot water for minute or
two before planting, when the insect
will be killed. Deane recommends that
the peas be kept in tight vessels over
one year before planting. Another rem
edy, said to be etficacious, Is, as soon as
the pea IS dry enough to harvest, place
those intended for seed IN a tight YES
sci, IN which place two ounces of pull
verified camphor to the bushel, or ia
blespoonful OF sulphuric ether to SIM
liar quantity. In few hours, or day
or two at most, the bugs viii be found
to be dead. Any measures against in
sect pests, to be really efficacious, must
be done in concert by whole communi-
ties 1t is disheartening for the farmer
who takes the trouble of cleaning his
seed from insect pests, to have his
nelghbors plant colony of pea weevils
to ravage his crops as well as their own.

Aspara gus.

In reply to a correspondent, Mr.. J.
Thomas says in the Country Gentleman:
For home use only. make asparagus
beds about five feet wide, by deep
spading and working in manure. 1t has
been the practice to make these beds
very deep, two and half or three feet;
but we regard this as needless labor and
expense. Two splits of the spade
equivalent to thorough subsoil and
trench-plowing for the field culture of
this plant, with very copious appEca-
ton of fine manure. will be deep
enough. Then give the plants plenty
of room, and they viii grow larger than
in a deeper bed and crowded. Three
rows in the fve-feet bed, and a foot
apart in the row, will give fine crops.
Plant In trenches made by a line, so
that the crowns will be about two inches
under the surface. Keep the bed per
fectly clean by going over the whole
surface ut least once a week with a steel
rake before the weeds come up. Less
depends on the sort than on good cul-
ture. Indeed, some of the best garden
ers think there is but one kind, and all
the difference is made by good culture

A Virginia paper, the Amherst Enter
prise, relates this story
Last Sunday week was a very cold
day, as all will recollect, even in this
vicinity, and several degrees colder in
Alexandria, where quite a number of
colored persons Of the Baptist persua-
sion were baptized in the River Poto
mac. Among them was old aunt Mary
whose young "massa" of ante belLuna
days was present as spectator, and de-
sired to speak with her, partly through
affection for the old nanny" engen-
dered in childhood. Accordingly, he
edged his way through the crowd, and,
as she came up out of the water, accosted
her: "Aunt Mary, wasn't it cold in
there ?" go, no, mars Frank, de luv oh
de Lord keep me warm" A few words
of conversation ensued, and aunt Mary
remarked Tell de trufe, mars Frank,
It's little cold, but dis ain de fus

ed out that this was the third time she
had taken upon herself the baptismal
VOW.

that at Resca, where one of the hardest
fought battles oftha war took place. there
is merchant, part If whose business
it is to collect the leaden bullets that
are scattered over the tragic field. He
employs good many children, who are
steadily engaged in collecting these bull
lets, for which he pays them five cents
per pound. These bullets he ships to
Baltimore, where he sells them at seven
cents. He told Captain Smith that he
had already collected and shipped To-
900 pounds, and that he then had on
hand about 1000 more pounds. This
is reversing the order of things, and
sowing the whirlwind from which the
