Now, as according to the most moderate es-
Inmates, the average quantity of cereals neces-
sary for the consumption of every inhabltant
is five and one half hectolitres per annum, 1t
results from the above returns that all those
states which come after the German duchies
are obliged to have recourse to foreign impor-
tation. In America three-tifths of the cereals
consist of maize In Europe cats predominant;
then come wheat and rye, and finally, barley,
maize, and saracen, in the order given. The
nations of Europe which produce, relatively
speaking, the most wheat, are Spain, Italy,
and France; those which furnish the most rye
are Finland, Switzerland and Germany; and
those which produce the most barley the Scan

EUROPES CROP OF CEREALS.

Here are some interesting facts and
figures in reference to the production of
cereals in Europe. They will repay
careful perusal:
Itmay be remembered, says the Paris cor
national coner-ss of the Hague of 1869, and
confirmed in 1872 by the St. Petersburg con-
gress, France was charged with the task of
drawing up retur,i of the total production of
cereals IN Europe. The work was confirmed
to the statistical department of the ministry of
agriculture and commerce, and the results of
its long and arduous labors are now made
public. It appears that the total cereal pro-

Grand ODeTa House.

McDonough's Marionetts opened last even
ine at the above place of amusement, to a
small but appreciative audience. We must
say that this troupe of Marionetts deserve
to be literally patronized, and we hope to
see the house crowded during the rest of
the week. Part first opened with q full
band Of minstrels which brought forth the
applause they so richly deserved. The
Italian Fantocini, introducing the pole bal
ancer. Punch and his celebrated trained
mules, Pete and Barney, Pat and Biddy in
a real old Irish JIG, and family of Celess
tials with songs and dances. These parts
we're all we'll performed.
The performances of the grand spectacle,
"Little Red Riding Hood" was well rem
dered, and the vocal and instrumental mu-
sic by the band and chorus served to make
this more interesting to those who were
present. The scenery was gorgeous and
dazzling. The Harlequinade is "simply
perfection" aboundiny with fun, which is
all new and original. The Transformation
scenes we're in all respects superb, and
commenced with "Glimpse of the Haunts
of the Peri" A bright vision of "Fairy-
land" "Dissolving Diamond Bowers"
"Crysanthemum Home of the Elfn
Fairies" "The Pearl Crested Minstrels Of
the Magic Palace" &c.
These performances will continue for
three nights longer, and is we'll
worth the price OF admission, and we
are sure that all who attend will come
away satisfied.

What is the use of having law if It is
not enforced? For some time past the
sidewalks in some parts of our city have
been in fearful condition, rendering it
almost impossible for pedestrians to get
along. Now we have law compelling
people to clean the pavement in front Of
their DIVE llings and stores, yet there are lots
Of pavements on our principle streets that
are now in the same bad condition they
were week ago. Some parties we know
have been notified to clean the Ice from tho
front of their houses and have done it, but
there are still some that should be cleaned.
If they have been notified and have failed
to obey the orders, they should be arrested
and dealt with according to law. If they
have not been SO ordered, the police should
attend to it Immediately. The law should
be no respector ofpersons. Let us have the
sidewalks cleaned and that soon.
