An analysis by two eminent analytica ebemists of a portion of the food eaten by the family referred to in your last as having been poisoned, has clearly proved that the symptoms were produced by stance well known to practical chemists, a virulent poison, and sometimes found in the potato. The potato, when exposed to the sun while growing, assumes a greenish sp pearance and more or less solanin is formed. But the amount of discoloration dees not alwaye indicate the amount of poison, as there may be discoloration without solanin, and rice versa In England deaths occur from eating potatoes in this condition.

During the terrific gale experienced on this coast in August, 1873, which caused so much loss of life and property along the whole Dominion seaboard, the brigantine Countess while laying to, discovered the} schooner Sippho dismasted and totally dis | abled. As soon as practicable Captain | Hopewell, of the Countess, assisted by two | seamen, Benjamin Sedley and Thomas Flem- ing, lowered a boat and succeeded in ress | cuing the entire crew of the Sapphu.
