lt iSnot strange teat the Sabbath is so gen. eraliy desecrated The authorities in the large cities can't be said to wink at it's violation :: they shut their eyes. and keep them shut. In Brooklyn, on recent Sunday, the amphi- theatre and tents foracircus were erected with great noise and confusion. and the animals were brought on the grounds, Hundreds and thousands of men and boys, women and child ren, were attracted to the grounds from early morning. Under the present Commissioner many improvements have been made. Whose fault was it that such an outrage up ,n the re. iigi0us part of the community and such a pub nc violation of law was. perpetrated with i'm punlty But, doubtless what the managers of that circus did there, is done by similar concerns when and where it suits their conven- fence.

THE CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKEs.-Dr. K. von Fritsch, of Halle, discusses the subject of earthquakes in the last issue of the Terland. ungen Of the Berlin Geographical Society. He maintains that the cause of earthquakes must be sought for at a rather small depth. the greatest depth ascertained not exceeding ten to fourteen miles, and usually far less whilst rather feeble forces produce earthquakes winch are felt at great distances It is known that krupp's hammer, which weighs 1000 centners and falls from the night of three me. tres, produ ces sensible concussions on a sur lace Of eight kilometres diameter whilst the recent explosion of the .Leimbach dynamite manufactory was felt at Halle and Merseburg Iorty .one and forty-fve kilometres distant. whist showing how easily concussions are produced by causes comparatively feeble. Dr. Fritsch points out how earthQuakes might be and must be produced by the increase and de crease of volume of rocks under the influence or physical and chemical forces, and by con cussions, by the opening of crevices in rocks. ana oy the subsistence of masses of rocks due |" these agencies. Many schists are subjected. as IS known. to extension, and when crevlces arse the schlst muct enter into oscillations which must produce very varied phenomepa. according to She direction aud the force of th.. oscillations, much like to what is seen in th oscillations of tt:ning plates.

Many farmers are so infested
with rats as to cause serious loss to
their occupsnts, and various RENE
dies are resorted to for their de1
struction, None will prove 50
efectual, however, as to make a
simultaneous attack upon them all
along the line,' by setting steel
traps, deadfalls, triphea1 barrels,
delusion traps, together with a
poison box, or box in which you
have continued to feed thew on
cheese, buttered bread, &C., until
they will almost come for calling,
when saturate their bait with deadly
poison, and they and their neigh
bors will come Aocking in to enjoy
the repast, which, as soon as par
taken Of, and resolutions OF thanks
passed for kindness, will cause
them to retire handsomely to rest
forever. This, and keeping a
thoroughbred rat-terrier or two
trained for the purpose, will soon
make the place too hot for them. =
But to render their determination
the more complete, concert of &C
ton must be had by all interes-
ted. Every farmer should take his
own premises in hand, and then,
after so arranging his outbuildings
as to shut the. destructive animals
out, he can make use OF the above
means with every prospect of sue
cess.
