French expeditions are being equipped
one to observe the eclipse at Caroline
Island and the other at Flint. The
British will send party to Caroline.

OYSTERS.-A new mode of fattening
oysters has been discovered and used in
Eastern Virginia to great advantage, es-
pecially as the oysters are poor this sea-
son. The oysters are put III floats and
covered with fresh water two or three
inches deep. A hose attached to the
boiler of steamer is then used to heat
the water just enough to cause the oys-
tiers to open their mouths and drink.
After taking three or four drinks they
fatten rapidly and are soon ready for
the market

SAVED HER.-A woman was the only
passenger in a Montana stage except her
baby, whom she wrapped III her fur
cloak, leaving herself unprotected from
the zero temperature. The driver saw
that she was benUmbed and would freeze
to death unless reused to violent cxer-
else. He dragged her from the coach
and left her by the roadside ooh, my
baby !" she cried. The driver cracked
his whip. The stage flew over the SNOW
with the woman running after. The race
was kept up for nearly two miles, when
the driver took the mother in again and
wrapped his coat around her. He had
warmed her blood and saved her life.
