The porcupine inhabits many countries,
such as southern Europe, Africa and In
dia. Another porcupine, called the Urson,
or Canadian porcupine, is found in North
America. It Is not SO thickly armed with
spines as the animal about which we have
just been speaking; for, except upon the
tail, the quills are so deeply buried among
the long hair that they are scarcely visible,
The tail, however, is closely set with short
spines, and forms a very effective weapon,
the animal striking it sharply against any
foe which may molest it. The urson is a
very destructive animal in its native for
ests. 1t feeds upon the bark of trees. Be-
ginning at the upper branches, it descends
by degrees to the lower, until the tree is
entirely stripped. In this manner great
numbers of trees are killed by these ami

The adjourning OF the impeachment
court last Saturday, on account of Gen.
Weaver's belly-ache, cost the people OF
this commonwealth nearly $500. One
dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Dlarrhoea Remedy would have saved this
expense; and we suggest, as a matter OF
economy and humanity, that the state
provide against future contingencies Of
this nature, by furnishing each senator
with bottle OF that valuable remedy. 20

Tho Rrend Fruit rree.

The bread fruit tree is a native of the
Islands Of the Pacific ocean and of the In
dian archipelago, and grows to height Of
from forty to fifty feet. The fruit of the
bread tree, which in shape and size re-
sembles a muskmelon, supplies the prin-
cipal part of the food of the inhabitants of
these islands. 1t is attached to the small
branches of the tree by a small, thick
stalk, and hangs either singly or in clus-
ters Of two or three together. 1t contains
a somewhat fibrous pulp, which, when
ripe, becomes juicy and yellow, but has
then rotten taste. At an earlier stage,
when it is gathered for use, the pulp is
white and mealy, and of consistency re.
sembling new bread.

A Well Known Rodent Famous for Its
Long spines or Quilts.
The body of the porcupine is covered
with long spines. These spines are very
formidable weapons. When the porch
pine is molested It raises its qajils and
backs rapidly upon its enemy, who often
finds it by no means easy to avoid the on
set Of the enraged animal. The wounds
caused by the spines are sometimes very
serious. The quilts, like all hairs, are
shed and renewed, and those that are
about to be sled are so loose that when
they pierce the skin OF any victim they
often remain firmly fixed in the wound.
Then by means of their structure they
gradually work their way deeper and deep
er into the flesh. Sometimes one of these
spines has been known TO cause the death
