Persons who are deprived Of sight
are generally blessed with fine ear;
hence perhaps, it arises that music is
y favorite study with the blind. Dr.
Nicholas Saunderson, the celebrated
blind mathematician was 4 singular
instance Of this delicacy of ear. He
could readily distinguish TO the fifth
part of a note, and by his performance
on The flute, which lie had learned as
m amusement in his younger years,
discovered sucha genius for music, as
would probably have appeared rs Won
derful as his excellence in the mathe-
MATES, had he cultivated the art with
equal application.

get rid of rats: a mixture of two
parts Of well-bruised common squils
and three parts OF finely chopped bacon
is made into stiff mass, with as much
meal as may be required, apd then
baked into small cakes, which are put
down for the rats TO eat. Several cor

was a pleasant and harmonious affair. The
wind was very unfsvorable. and the light,
too, alternately shifting from cloud to sun
shine, was hardly what could be desired :;
and consequently the scores were not what
would have been made under more auspic-

The Park Gallery Exhibition or ISIS.

The fifth annual Exhibition Of the Park
Gallery. though not in all respect, equa ling
in It's results the Exhibition Of 1877, was, all
thugs considered, fairly successful. Though
an admission fee was. for the first time,
charged, the visitors numbered $50. The
number of season tickets sold fell isr short
of the expectations of the trustees but the
transient visitors were nrm4r9us, and we're
drsSn from many towns outside Of BurliDg-
ton, giving the works OF the artists repre-
sented pretty wide introduction to the
most cultivated portion OF the public in this
section.
In spite Of the hard times, eighteen pic
lures were sold, for sums aggregsting over
1000. We subjoin a list OF the pictures
and purchasers. The Exhibition, like the
preceding one, has done much to promote
a kuosledge of art and to cultivate taste
for good paintings; and the choices made
Vindicste the good taste and judgment of
the purchasers. The high. though perhaps
not ex:rsvsgantly high, prices attached to
some Of the paintings doubtless prevented
sales. in time when every one is counting
the cost of Injuries.
The exhibition. this year. offered great
advantages to pupils in painting and stu
dents in art. which haye been well i'm
proved.
The exhibition has paid its expenses and
leaves the Gallery sope $500, which the
trustees will probably invest IN a picture to
add to the permanent collection.
The trustees, and especially Mr.. Phelps.
gave a degree of time and attention to the
selection OF the paintings and to the inter-
csts of the exhibition which in ordinary
times shouli have been rewarded with
greater results; but, this year, it is some-
thing to say that the exhibition paid its
way and cleared something for the Gallery.
