The writer resides near the birthplace at Water- ford, Me., of the boy, Charles Farrar Browne. I find that the testimoay of men ^^, were his schoolmates accords with that ptjblished by intimate associates of his man- hood, to wit, that with all his inborn love of merriment and of adventure, he was ex- ceptionally pure-minded, sonsiderate, and unselfish. He sought not to wield his wit at cost of another's pain, tie was a devoted son. He would talk to hit friends of his mother as other young men talk of a sweet- heart. Mrs. Browne yet livirs at Water ford and welcomes every visitor who comes to honor the memory of her bob. Artemus VV ard's career was pathetically brief. Print- er's boy in a dozen New-EngUnd villages and cities, editor in Toledo and in Glevelatid, lecturer and traveller over the land, at the age of 29 he was the most popular humorous speaker in America. He crossed the Atlantic, and his success in London seemed bound- less. Bat meantime he was rapidly wast- ing with consumption, and his face turned with hii heart homeward and northern ward. But as he was about emb»rkiB2 at South- amption he diedâ€" March 6th, 18G7â€" having not completed his thirty-first year. â€" The Rev. T. C.

Amongst the quieter agencies tending in the â- amo direction may be noticed the lacrooe *ean» which has recently left Toronto, composed of a very respecUble lot of young leUows, who will do credit not only to the °**y|al Rame but to our incipient nation as wellj We notice too that a Canadtaa pa^r rt""i started in London which will, no tloabt, prove the means of commnnicafion to a certain extent between the British and ^^anadian public. The more thoroughly Our advantages ace known the more surely Will emigration of a superior olass be drawn to our shores. Our disadvantages are no greater than in many other lands, though of a different kind.

Three years ago we were star Jed and horritiecl by the news that the Tay bridge had fallen when a train was passing over it, .,nd the investigation which followedbrought into prominent notice not only the very £;reat diversity of opinion as to wind-pressure, but the necessity that some definite result should be arrived at. It appeared from the examination of engineers of the highest repute that they had no exact knowledge as to whether the extreme probable force of wind should be taken as 10 pounds on a f qnare foot, or 20 or 40 It was admitted that pressures of 40 pounds had been regis- tered, but they wcro considered so excep- tional and restricted that it had been deem- ed unnecessary to make a full provi-sion for them. But on Oct. 11, 1881, a pressure ot 53 pounds was registered at Greenwich, almost at the very moment when 35 magnifi- cent trees in the immediate neighborhood were prostrated that particular gust of intense preseui-c was by no means restricted to an area of a few yard?. Nor is this press- ure of 53 pounds the highest that has been recorded. Daring a gale at Liverpool in March, 1871, the pencil anemometer was driven far beyond the scale, and was esti- mated to have marked a pressure of 90 pounds. It is impossible to say whether these are actual pressures or not. Prof. Stokes, who speaks with very hich authority, considers that the register of a pressure plate is 80 per cent, too high, a correctioc which would reduce these pressures to 30 and to .50 pounds on the square foot but many observers and men of great practical experience (among others Mr. Osier and Mr. Symons) believe that the registered pressure is, by a balance of errorw, not very far from the truth.â€" -Lon^miau's Magazine. A Wlseonsln Snake Story. Henry Fish of Lee Centre, who has lately come from Lone Rock, Wis., says 'Andrew Harter of Lone Rock went out on a rocky part of his farm one day last spring, and while looking around saw the head of a rat- tlesnake protruding from a crevice in the rock Taking in the eeneral surroundings, he concluded chat it must be a regular den of rattlesnakes, so he built a pen about ten feet square and three feet high about the place and awaited results. The pen was watched, and M-ith a wire snare somethmg like a fish snare seventy-nme scakes, vary- ing in length from 13 inches to 4^ feet, were, during thi summer, landed in a barrel plac- ed inside the enclosure.

A curiosity in vegetation has been shown our Watertown correspondent by Mr. Ben- jamin Marvin, of ttiat town. It is a land- scape, or rather a clump of trees, with trunk and branches and twigs as clearly defined as though drawn with ink or photographed by the sun's rays. The trees form a picture about four inches square, showing like the open leaf of a book, and the same on the opposite page. Mr. Marvin says it is a pretty good protraiture of the clump of tree.' which he felled, the picture appearing in the heart of the largest one. Perhaps it will be explained that this is a fungus growth, which starting near the bark, pushed its way Dward and upward in the form shown. If o, it was a persistent and ambitious bit of vep-etation, bound to go ahead through very discouragiiis; circumstances. â€" Waterhurij [Conn.) American. I •i P5 |l|lUlJJlRU».FlU'lUllflÂ¥KAHBS. MIR.

Miss Sue V. Wingfield, daughtir of Judge Wingfield, of Bradford county, died recent- ly at the residence of John A, Herring, Esq. near Bridgewater. She had been governess in Mr. Herring's family, and after an illness of a few days of rheumatism of the heart and lungs she passed away in the bloom of her young life. On leaving with the remains, Mr. Herring remarked that he would never see Miss Rebecca Davis, who wasamemben of his family, arjain, and gave instructions as to the disposition of her body, should anything occur during hi? absence. On the Saturday followint;. Miss Davis was taken suddenly sick, from which she died. She had long been one of the family and was greatly e.5tcemed by those who knew her. It was a strange presentiment with Mr. Herring that he should express himself so confidently that he would never see his relative again. Jealousy In A£rlca When a Magololo suspects his wives he places a stone in a jar of boilinp water or oil and orders them to fetch it up with their bare arms. He then judges of their guilt by the amount of injury they sustain. When a woman is thus convicted he makes her confess who seduced her. In vain does the helpless creature protest that she is in- nocent. Notwithstanding that her arm is severely scalded, she is subjected to the most cruel torture by a kind of thumb screw, [mbanilo,) which is applied to her head. A small tree is partly divided along the iniddle, the skull of tbe poor woman is inserted as if it were a wedge for splitting the tree still further. Great pressure is exerted by forc- ing the halves of the tree together with the aid of pulleys. â€" Africana or, the Heart of Africa- the Rev.

I have had no return of the disease and never felt bet- ter in my life. I have tried so many things for catarrh, suffered so much and for so many years, that it is hard for me to realize that I am reallv better. I consider that mine was a very bad case it was aggravated and chronic, involving the throat as well as the nasal passages, and I thought I would require the three treatments buc feel fully cured by the two sent me and I am thankful that I was ever induced to send to you. You are at liberty to use this letter staging that I have been cured at two treatments, and I shall gladly reoomcnenl your remsdy to some of my friends, who are sufferers. Yours with many thanks Rev.
