An Eel Pond.

The greatest eel pond in the country is on
| the farm of Mr., Wells, of Riverhead, Long
| Island.
The pond covers five acres. Two years
ago Mr.. Wells put into the pond two
| thousand dozen cells, with no intention of dis
| turbng them for five years. They have in
creased wonderfully, millions being in the
pond, and ii is thought that there will be
quadrillions before Mr.. Wells gets ready to
market them, and that he has fortune in
them
The cells are fed regularly every three days
| on what is known as horse feet" n sea pro
duct with meat inside II shell which takes the
shape of horses boot, and it is doubtless
from that it derives the name. The eels
seem to know that they are to be fed, for
when Mr. Wells beats upon the wagon with
the butt end ofhis whip, they swarm towards
him.
Any other person may beat and bang for
hours without causing the slightest commo-
| ton among them Hundreds of people 90 to
see them fed. Mr. Wells, to satisfy the visi-
tors curiosity, will hold "A horse foot in the
water for a minute or two, and then withdraw
il with numerous GELS clinging TO the con-
tents of the shell
The largest eel ever taken from the pond
in this way weighed five and three quarter
pounds, but there are, it is thought still larg-
er ones. They consume seven hundred and
fifty horse feet in three days. 1t would seem
impossible 10 furnish so many, but the num-
Der does not begin to detail The extent of the
catch. Millions of them are annually fed to
to swine and poultry, and some men make
IL business of catching them. On June 10,
after storm, Capt Downs, with trap of
his own invention, caught one thousand
feet" and between the 10th of July and
April his aggregate catch was nineteen

Cases OfTrances on Record.

In a recent issue of your paper under the
title of Buried Alive" you give the horrible
experience of young girl while lying in n
trance. This recalls to my mind several
similar incidents, of which the following are
on record, viz: Mr.. }. c. Weaver. OF Frank
linton, n c. in the local journals says Mrs.
Martha Smith, of Chatham, reports remark
able case of suspended animation, burial
and resurrection in the person of a married
lady in that county, who possessed a gold
watch and lingering, which she often eX-
pressed q desire to have buried with her.
She was taken i'll, and her life seemed grad
ually to ebb away, until the attending physi-
clan pronounced life extinct. AT the burial
her desire was strictly complied with, and
the second night after the burial two men
went to her grave for the purpose ofrohbing
the corpse of the iewelry AS they took off
the lid of the coffin and one began forcing
the ring from her finger, she rose up. Both
men, taking fright, ran away. Upon their
return, she requested them to take her home.
They did so; and upon knocking at the
door, it was opened by her husband, who
tainted when he saw her supposing it to be
the ghost of his dead wife.
Mexico, he says: 1.-THE most extraordinary
miracle of all-of which legal attestatious Of
its truth were furnished the Court of Rome
namely, the resurrection of Montezuma's sis

warn the monarch of the approaching ruin
ofhis empire"

another attested case ofresurrection-a story

Deep VS.. Shallow Cultivation.

Referring again to the problem whether
| corn yields best with deep or shallow cult
walton, let me say that where the soil holds
| abundant moisture, deep and frequent cult
walton seems to incrcase stalk and leaf growth
especially on rich, deep soils. Perhaps, when
the soil is moist and mellow, the narrow
shovels push aside the roots, rather than cut
them, and by dispacng them bring them in
contact with new food. Where, however,
the soil is dry, and consequently hard, the
shovels break the roots Oft, and under this
condition deep plowing does much harm,
since il too severely root-pruncs, and in dry
soil there is little energy left in the plant to
push new roots Thus on rich, strong soils,
when moisture is present, deep and frequent
cultivation may favor growth and increase
the yield, whereas, ifthe same course be pur-
sued when the same soil has become dry and
hard, it will be detrimental to the plant
Only in exceptional seasons is there perma-
nent moisture in the soil, and shallow cul
turc would be preferable as the general rule.
Considering that it has been generally
agreed that under no circumstances can corn
be deprived of its suckers or leaves to its adj
vantage, what right have we TO assume that
there is any positive benefit in root pruning,
unless it be in those very exceptional seasons,
when in August or early September, on ac
count of an excess of moisture and low
temperature, corn having attained its full
growth, does not ripen, and is threatened by
frost? But since cultivation (Which is root
pruning) takes place before maturity, and
while the plant is in its most rapidly grow
ing stage what advantage can there be IN ar
resting the growth of the plant, during which
time it is storing up in its leaves and stalks

The "India.Rubber Man."
An Exhibition that Puzzles all the Doc
tors.


The India Rubber Man." who has been a
a source of establishment to medical men in
Germany and England, arrived in New York
on Tuesday, and was yesterday afternoon the
subject OF an examination by physicians and
surgeons. Mr.. G. A. Farini, to whose care
the "Gummi Mensch' was consigned, acted
as his introducer and interpreter, for Herr
lieihrlch Haag, the curiosity in question,
VINO lsa native Of Nuremberg is simple
minded upholsterer, innocent of any other
language than German.
Herr llaag is lightly built German, with
reddish brown hair, sandy moustache and
whiskers, and blue eyes, and weighs only 1870
pounds. The most critical observer, seeing
nm IN n state OF repose, would fail to find
anything queer about him. But all the medi.
cal men gasped when, Selling the skin of his
throat, lie hauled 1t up so far as to complete
ly mask his face up to the eyebrows Then
he drew down the skin over each eye so as to
lap over on the cheek, pulled the skin at the
point of his nose down to his chin, clutched
the skin of his breast and hauled it out a good
seven inches from his body, reached over his
shoulders and dragged up flaps of skin that
looked from the front as if he was pulling
an India rubber blanket over his back, and
SEEING the skin ofhis knee drew it out so far
thd' HC wv lSlcu IL up Ill knOI as one might
wet towel. Whenever the skin was let 60
it glided back smoothly into place without
wrinkle, and looked like anybody elses skin.
The doctors crowded around the India rubber
skinned man. Juggling his cuticle in all direc-
tons, held lights behind the broad, loose
flaps of it, and slightly scorched it in their
eagerness to see the circulation of the blood
in the delicate blood vessels of the skin.
MIR. Hang showed large scar on his right
arm, where Professor Leube of Erlangen, cut
out piece of skin to get at the bottom facts
about it. The scar has not grown fast to the
flesh underneath, but pulls six inches away,
as if it was merely patched or darned spot
in loose garment. Professor Lcube found
that there was no sub.cutaneous fat, that
there was strangeack of tissue between the
skin and the flesh, and that the porous pro.
cesses fixing the skin to the deep fascia are
loose and long.
Mr.. Haag is to be made the subject ola
lecture to students, when a calcium or cleo
trio light will be employed TO show the cir
culation of the blood in his skin. The doc.
tors agree that his is a surprising case Older
matolysis, or slippery, skin"

with which we have all been familiar from
the days of the nursery, but of whose authen-
ITCHY have been assured by finding it in the
great folio work of Bayle. Renee Taveau,
only daughter and helress of Leon Taveau,
Baron de Mortemer, ETC., married Francois
de Rochechouart, Lord of Tourney Char
ente, etc, in the sixteenth century. She
lived in the odour of sanctity, and she ex-
hausted herself by long exercise of prayer
and pentence. She fell into so violent q
trance that she was thought dead, and was
buried One of her domestics, having OBJ
served that she was buried with diamond
of great value on her finger, went down
into the vault in the night IN order to steal
it, and found her alive. She had afterwards
several children. She had great share in
the esteem of the Queen Catherine de Mede-
cis."
In a work entitled Families dc rArclen
