THE POWER OF lMAGINATIoN.-A lady in
'"r'hal''s district, who was extremely i'll with
,nnrial f''ver, became possessed with the idea
hat In the cellar of an old ouibulding, near
hrome Hin, large sum of money intended
nr her use was buried She declared she would
lie If she were not taken TO The spot, 10 search
ar the treasure. Nothing that friends or ply.
ician could say served TO disspate the hal uri.
niion. Her anxiety increased TO such an en-
INT that it was at last determined to CRAFTY
ner within, even AT the risk of her life. Accord.
'ngly she was placed in a carr iage and driven
distance If twelve or fourteen miles TO the spot
she had indicated. She was carried into the
cellar, and In her presence diligent search was
made, but, contrary to the way in which the
story ought 10 end, no pot Of gold was found -
She was then satisfied and willing, Ia return
home. Strange TO say, her fruitless quest did
not kill her, hut she is reported to he now in n
fair way to recover. Her friends believe that If
her wish had not been gra,ifrd she would have
died The story is q remarkable one in all re.
spects, and there is no doubt Of its truth. We
have been reques ed to withhold names.

Suicide Through a Mistake. rErnrn, fhn nrdnr,

some weeks ago young gentleman of good parts and great promise, the eldest son of a well-known Bucharest banker, MT. Ro seminal, blew his brains out because he had had the misfortune to lose a sum of 20, 900 lei-about 98Oo-between his fathers house and the chief postoffice, whither he had been enjoined to convey that amount in bank notes to be registered and dispatched to one of MT. Rosenthars correspondents at Jassy. Four days after the funeral of this unfortunate youth his sorrowing moth sr was examining the clothes worn by him at the time of his suicide, when her fingers encoun tered a hard substance within the lining of his overcoat. This substance, upon further investigation, turned out to be the sum of money supposed to have been Iost The bank notes had been enclosed in an envelope, duly sealed and prepared for registration &C., cording to the Roumanian postal regulations. Young Rosenthal had thrust the envelope into the inner breast t-pocket of his great coat, and 1t had slipped down between the cloth and lin ing through hole in the pocket, of which the poor fellow was either ignorant or unmindful When, on arriving at the postofice, he missed the money, he became violently agitated and hurried home in the hope that he might have left it behind him. The anguish of mind he experienced upon finding that hope frustrated probably prevented him from even thinking of subjecting his garments to a careful exami- nation; he rushed up to his bedroom, locked his door, and ended his life by his own hand few seconds later. The horror of this ghastly tragedy has, of course been deeply intensified by the discovery that there really had been no cause for the agony of despair which prompted young Rosenthal to commit suicide

 There was something very Scotch about that little stream below. There were the occasional deep pools, the shallows the little plashing falls and stony bed, the fern and the heather and felt inclined, for the mem- ory of the days of auld lang syne, to fix up a rod and try to deiude myself with the idea that I was throwing for trout. There cer- tainly ought to have been trout there. It was trout stream with the trout omitted, like the play of Hamlet" minus the Prince of Denmark. l hope before long some men of enterprise "who love the old pastime" will import the ova, and reproduce in that part of the colony the good old sport Some at- tempt in this direction was made in the east ern provinces, but believe it resulted in failure, because. owing to the misfortune of there being no one on the spot to meet the steamer, the box containing the ova was left uncared for, and the ova were destroyed. It is hoped the next attempt will meet with the success 1t deserves An amusing addition to the scene troop of balloons, who were disporting themselves down below within view of the road-mothers with babes in arms, sportive young things, middle aged and elderly monkeys, all very human, appa- rently enjoying themselves in an intensely earnest manner, relieved by an occasional summersault, or by an attempt to tie double knots in a neighbours tail. Only one took the slightest notice of us He was an aged counselor, of watchful mien, with an un- doubted air of command. At little distance apart from the frivolous throng and noisy chatter and gossip he sat on a piece of rock, grasping the stem of a small tree in his right hand, with contemplative eye turned all the time on the strangers. Would you like to see them move ?' said the driver, and, suiting the action to his words, he raised and pointed his whip at them like gun. One shrill cry or whistle from the old vedette, hurry, a scurry, and in a moment there was not q trace of 8 monkey to be seen. A little further on we passed an old wooden tiger trap, which had apparently not been used or repaired for years. Some time ago tiger was caught in this trap by new settler--a Scotchman without the national characteristic of caution. The beast had made havoc among his sheep, and accordingly, with view to put a stop to further depredations, he baited and set the trap. Next morning he found the tiger safe enough inside, and, possibly being used to the sight of the royal Bengal tiger at the Geological Gardens, he felt contempt at it's diminutive size, for these Cape tigers are in reality leopards. Not caring to waste a charge upon the creature, the colonist grasped it firmly by the tail, loosened it from the trap, and swung it in the air to dash out it's brains against rock The beast, however, resented the treatment, and, sending it's claws we'll home, tore of a large portion from the back of the mans shoulder, and, while giving him a wound he would carry to the grave, impressed him with the strength of ths poor little cat, he had styled 1t.

MILL PONDS AND MALARIA.
 Within the past few years many parts of the New England States have become so and dangerous to liv,s in them. The causes of this change are mysterious Many theo- ries have been brough forward to account for it, but it is not yet settled why one spot should be malarious and another one free from the poison. One ot the latest theories, and one which has strong support, is that malaria has been caused in many places by the building of dams for manufacturing pur- poses and tho consequent foofI1ng of large tracts of land with shallow and stagnant water. This theory finds acce ptance in and around Lenox, in the western part of Massa- chusetts, and some of the inhs s.bitants of that locality have caused suit to be brought against the Smith Paper Company of Lee.
 It is claimed that the Smith Company, by constantly raising their dam te meet the in- creased demand for water power, have now flooded a section of between six and seven hundred acres with shallow and stagnant water, which has killed out ths heavy forest and vegetation, and soaked the ground with stagnant and offensive pools, whose odors have been 80 powerful from the refuse of the paper mill that the residents of the fash ionable resort of Lenox have been obliged to keep their windows closed to avoid it, and that inhaling it in the open air caused vomiting. The fever and ague, which had been un- known for sixty years previous to the raising of the dam, has made it's appearance in the most malignant and universal form. Not house family in the vicinity has escaped, and there is great consumption of Gui- nine as in the most infected regions of the South and Vest It is now estimated that there are two hundred and fifty cases among 8 sparsely settled population, and of twenty two families on the east side of the Housa- tonic river not single one escaped the vis- itation It is claimed that the pond is par ticularly injurious on account of it's shallow ness and wide extent, and the frequent alter nations, which fill it and then leave it bare to the sun.
 The company warmly contests the suit and the trial will be interesting. It is to be hoped that the investigation of the matter will be thorough and that some really relia- ble knowledge about malaria may be gained
