A New Field for immigration So
cieties.

Myriads of predaceous mice are
devastating India; in many instances
eating up the substance Of the people.
These redundant rodents, suffering
for want of food, have become mi
gratory, invading other provinces,
and extending their travels to distant
lands. There is naturally q great
prejudice against them in communi.
ties where they abound. They con.
sumo the substance of the people.
The government persecutes them,
and whenever and wherever the peo-
pie, driven to desperation, rise up in
defense of their corn-c cribs and fight
these alien invaders, the authorities
of the country are powerless to pun
ish. The young children of the
country, impelled with the belief
that these mice are eating the corn
which should properly be given to
them, cut off their tails, bruise their
heads, and skin their bodies, while
parents look with indifference upon
the cruel spert. In many Instances,
when the cry has gone up that the
"mice are coming" whole villages,
men, women and children have gone
out to repel them, until the noise of
horns and the din of pans and pots
and kettles could be heard through
out the land. In many instances
death has insued, and mice have been
fonnd torn aud bleeding, dying and
dead, upon the fields aud highways.
The people of Siberia and other
places invaded by them, have de-
manded that they return. and in 9TH
er respects demonstrated that great
prejudice existed against them. We
suggested that in view of these per-
secutions, and the fact that America
is the asylum of the oppressed and
the refuge of the down trodden, So
cieties be at once organized to invite
the mice of India to emigrate to this
country. Our corn fields are broad
and productive. All throughout the
length aud breadth of our land there
are vast fields of corn. In Illinois,
Iowa, and other States of the middle
West, are unlimited capacities for the
production of all kinds of cereals.
There are large and untitled areas of
fertile land all over the country we'll
adapted for raising corn, and we add
the fact that wheat, oats, barley and
other grams are we'll adapted to the
use of mice; tina, the production of
cheese is practically unlimited, and
that there are at present very few
nice in the country, there is no rea-
son why our broad and unoccupied
lands should not be thrown open for
their occupation. This will afford
an opportunity for our cats which
they could not otherwise enjoy. 1t
seems to US an interposition of Divine
Providence, this bringing of foreign
mice within the catching influence of
our cats, that ought not 10 be evaded.
We would also suggest that this SO.
cisty for the introduction of India
mice would throw its protection over
Norway rats that come to us in the
holds of vessels; that the English
sparrows be also entitled to encour-
agement in their warfare against our
song birds; that the Canada thistle
be allowed to scatter its seed over
our fields; and that the phylloxers,
now being so industriously warred
upon by science and sulphur in
France, be encouraged to make its
home among our California vines.

An Elegant Estate.

A correspondent of the Boston Journal says:
The only addition to the attractions of George
vile, Lake Memphremagog since last season is
the mansion of Mr.. John Murray of Montreal,
one of the owners oflthe Beaver Line of steam
ships, which is now about completed. Mr..
Murray's estate lies about a half mile south of
the Georgeville wharf, occupying high we'll
wooded promontory bordering on small bay
which is called by his name. The distinguish
ing popularity of the house is the fact that it
is finished entirely in hard wood, cut on the es-
tate. The view from the windows includes the
entire lake, with its mountainous shores. and
is one of the most enhancing to be found. In
deed, the situation of this estate is preferable
to that of either Sir Hugh Allan or Mr.. Moi
sons, both of which have become celebrated
for their beauty and elegance.
