Agriculture is the basis of the prosper
ity of the world. If he who makes two
blades of grass grow where only one
| sprang up before deserves well of his
country, then Mr.. Mitchell Henry, NJ. P.
| for Galway County, deserves a statue as

| pheasants, ducks, and all sorts OF fowls,
| and in feeding them saves two-thirds OF
| the grain that could not otherwise be
used.-EngliSh paper.

middle of the opera the cantatrice had
to sing a few verses written to the tune
of "St Patrick's Day" by a local poet
This performance aroused the enthusi-
asm and fiattered the vanity of the audi
