from his laboratory The sun sends certain
signs over the 'sinfintude OF space" and the
chemist Classics them by passing them
through the spectroscope. Only the presence
of certain substances could produce these solar
signs. So also, in medical science, diseases
have certain unmistakabe signs, or svmp-
toms. and by reason Of this fact, DR.. Pierce, OF

originate and perfect system of determining,
with the greatest accuracy, the nature OF

The Farmers insurance Company

Every day we see, in the newspapers, &C
counts of the destruction Of the house er barn
or stock or cattle of some poor farmer by fire,
with the melancholy postscript, "no insu-

to see the fruit of years of industry reduced to
an ash heap and ''no insurance More espe-

and it is difficult indeed to get that first thou

Wonders of Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which scientists
ara enabled TO deduce the most minute par
ticulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous if we view it IN the light OF
the early ages. Take for example 1ne eiec'fos

the Editor of the Irish Department.

The Rochester Post thus speaks Of our excel
lent associate, Dillon O'Brien Esq.
A magnificent lecture was that OF Dillon
O'Brien. at Heaney's Hall, last night. Is was
a splendid example Of Irish eloquence, marked
with the peculiarly attractive characteristics OF
that NEST Interesting kind of orstory; fluent,
graphic, witty and pathetic by turns, 1t held
the audience in close attention, deep interest,
and profound qualification. 1t was rather =
disconr.e on the blessings of poverty, than the
history of an lrishmans adventures, and SO
bright were the pictures of want, garnished
with their setting of rich brogue, as to make
one almost content with being poor, The he, d d,
scriptive passages were wonderful, ana Tia
language was the poetry OF prose.
The lecture was delivered under the auspices
of the Father Matthew Society, and was honor
ed by q good audience; and we doubt whether
the hall has ever held an audience that wal
more nleased with lecture.
