Serving a Writ ata Funeral.

H@ The Montreal Wstness says that while Charles Devlin, Esq warden of Ottawa county, was attending the lfunefal of his sister4in-law, Mrs. B. Devhn,a bailiff forced, his entrance oathea cohyent while service was going on to serve him with writ for $2O0, 900 on behalf of the
 Northern Colonization railway. MT.
 Devlin requested the bailiff to, call at his brothers office, where he would meet him and receive service, but the bailiff stated that his orders were i'm perative, and he. must make, service then and there. MT, Devlin was, much incensed, as were the others present.
 The trouble arose over the warden re- fusing to sign the railroad bonds issued on behalf of the county, owing to g large vote of the council against his doing so.

The Use4of Paris Green fn the Extermi. 1gs 1slnation of the Potato Beetle.J 10 3

 ks11R Prof. Mo Murtrie, of the United States 1f, f,ARricuit Col ege, has interested him- st tl6aifsin aexan1ining, into the potato beetle fquestion,a atida experimenting upon the results Of the use of paris green upon the plants andG the soil. Ins a report of 1 his e9p peffments he says: snf5a his 5ssnt 10 Jrsf Fsots 6RTgue against the possibility of I any considerable accumulation of arsenic
 in the soil by successive applications of
 parisr greenF in n the quantities usually
 recommended, for, the destruction of the I Colorado potato beetle. Where rotation
 of crops is observed, and application of
 the poison cannot, therefore, take place more than once in three or four years, 1t is probable that each application, be- I ing acted upon by the natural solvents
 9f, the sol, will bs, removed s by drainage | before another is made. And even where annual app pofications are made aso bMuch time must lelapSe before the limit
 could be attained that no injury need be-
 feared from this cause. In order to de, terminB' 'whether ahyoof the plants in the Efeur series liexperimented upon had
 absorbed, and lassimilated, . any arsenic
 during the period of growth, the plants,1
 after reaching complete maturity, were,
 collected and carefully washed t9 remove any arsenic adhering to them mechani-
 cally,p and tested by careful application of Mhfsh's test as described by W Wofrnley. Byt means Iffailed in any case to de-
 teot arsenic in the plants. also iexamisI ned in the Isan1e way potatoes from crops tol which, heavy bapplic cations of paris
 green had been made, and obtained simi-
 lar negative results. D, With these facts beFoFe us, and Wit thptSut z Vconsid derine what the result iof aa'sefies Of exper- l ments 1coutihued q through Q series of years, we must conclude that plants have
 nopowet to. aabsort3 and aSsimilate com pounds of oarsenics aud that though the
 latter, may, by its presence in the soil, q exert an Injurious Influence upon veges tation, yet they are practically without effect until the quantity present reaches HA For paris green albout 9o0pornds per, i, acre. solo sl u9N J0oH omiI sidi '''o'

 The fears of many, of our aggriculturists
 need, therefore, be no longer enter {tained; yet, though they will suffer noI injury
 from poisoning by arsenic in chemical combination with vegetable proil1cts,
 great care should be exercised im the matter of bremoving any particles ad-

CLAIMS OF ALIENS.

/ recommend that some suitable pro-
vision be made, by the creation of a spe-
cial court, or by comforting the necessary
jurisdiction upon some appropriate tribu-
nal, for the consideration and determi-
nation of the claims of aliens against the
Government of the United States which
have arisen in some reasonable time, or
which may hereafter arise, excluding all
claims barred by treaty provisions or
otherwise. 1t has been found impossible
to give proper consideration to these
claims by the Executive Department of
the Government. Such tribunal would
afford an opportunity to aliens other
than British subjects to present their
claims on account of acts committed
against their persons or property during
the rebellion, as also those subjects of
Great Britain whose claims having asisen
subsequently to the 9th of April, 1865,
could not be presented to the late COM
mission organized pursuant to the pro-
visions of the Treaty of Washington.
