POULTRY AT THE CESTESNIAL.-The
last OF the displays oflive stock at the Cen
tennial Exposition opened in Pathological
Hall, Oct. 9Th, and terminated on Monday,
9th inst. The large and well-lighted build
ing-admirably adapted to the purpose
was quite fairly filled, though the great
area of the floor precluded the necessity of
piling coops upon one another, except in
the case of doves, canaries, and some other
OF the small fry. About five thousand fowls
were shown in all, including ten or flleen
fiocks OF 25 each; also some 600 pairs of
pigeons. The exhibitors hail chiefly from
the Middle aud Eastern States, with de-
cided preponderance Of NEARBY" fanciers,
although Canada West contributed quite
largely. Seven foreign entries were cita-
losued. five from England and three FROM
ireland, but the birds did not appear. The
general character OF the poultry exhibited
was good, in many classes quite evenly so,
and the judges, who were compelled 10y
the rules TO make a critical survey of each
exhibit and note carefully the good points
wherever merit was observed, found their
duties somewhat protracted and laborious.

DfsAaRERABLE TENANTS ~ FooD.-The
efforts of science arc disclosing So many
sources of danger in our food that 10 an ex-
trenely nervous person there seems to be
no safety from certain varieties of plague
except in starving to death. Trichne in
pork have caused many gentiles TO become
Jewish in their antipathy 10 this article of
diet, even ham having no temptation for
them. Sausages have long been regarded
with suspicion. Lovers of rare beefsteak
don't like 10 be reminded that the tdenia
inermis Is parasite of the OK which makes
itself perfectly at home in the gastric re-
glons of the human tribe. And now a
Frenchman, DR.. Normand, of The French
naval service, has found a new terror. He
calls 1t the dnJulLuta StercOrGtis. 1t is
about quarter of a MILL metre in length,
but so lean as to be invisible to The naked
eye, and is absorbed into the system either
in animal or vegetable food. Ills believed
to be the cause or the terrible disease known
as Cochin China diarrh@a, which has caus-
ed great havoc among the French troops In
the East. The best remedy thus far discov-
cred is milk, but II is not 80 eficacious as
could be desired.

While our present advces look favorable,
we must remember that several of the

1t will naturally take some time to get def
mite returns from them. l therefore take
this as an earnest of your loyalty to the Re-
publican party and your desire for its sue

suit from what II is announced at present
l assure you that / shall frequently recall

A SILVER MINE.-There is a silver mine
at Birch hill, near Brandon. The credu-
lous mountsineers have a curious tradition
to the effect that this mine was worked by
Spaniards, years and years ago, who were
driven away by the Indians in the French
and Indian war. Some sixty years ago an
ancient Spaniard, who claimed TO have
been one OF the original workers OF the
mine, returned TO the vicinity and told
some wonderful stories Of The richness and
productiveuess of the mine, and not long
after company was organized to work it,.
The mine had been filled up with water
and up to this time the company have got
it out TO the depth of $50 feet from the sur
face. As much more remains to be drawn
out, and then The company win be the for
tunsto possessors Of hole 800 feet deep. II
there is any silver at the bottom it is ear
nestly to be hoped that lis not as tough as
the story above narrated, or it will be pre-
cious hard work mining il.

The family of David Schitz, who resides
in Salisbury, were taken seriously ill the
other evening, after having eaten apple but
ter that had been kept in earthen crooks or
pots, from the time it had been made.
They were seized with cramps, and for
some time it was thought they could not
recover. The symptoms were those oflead
poisoning, and it is supposed the glazing on
the inside of the vessel had been softened
by the apple butter, which was poured in
while hot, and that portion had been
mixed with it.
