Our farmers frequently complain that traders give them too simall a price for their produce, less than the foreign markets would warrant, and they are thus led to look upon merchants asin a certain sense their enemies. On this account many farmers imagine that if they could do their own trading they would speediiy become rich. Experieuce, however, has shown this idea to be fallacious—the man who sticks to one business succeeds the best. The attempt ef certain farmers and otbers to run a co-operative grecery store, in this city, convinced those who embarked in the undertaking that there was very little profit in the grocery business after paying the expenses of manage ment. ‘This spring, farmers who had clover and timothy seed to dispose of would net sell it to dealers in seeds, imagining that by attending market themselves they would get a higher price for it. The consequence was that seeds- men finding that they could not precure a sutticient stock from the country, at any- thing like a reasonable price, imported large quantities from Canada. The market was thus overstocked ; seedsmen made very little prefit, and many farmers are obliged to hold over their grass seeds till next year, while a large amount of money has been sent off the Island. Had farmers brought their seeds to market early in the season, traders would have given higher prices for them than they were afterwards sold for at retail, and the home-grown artiele would have suppliec the demand, to the exclusion of foreign seeds, the money kept on the Island, and the country made so much richer. It is a very short-sighted policy for farmers to waste their time in Spring retailing seeds in market when they could sell them to dealers in seeds at nearly as high a price, provided they were brought to market in March or the keginning of April.— Cem. to Patriot.

A most extraordinary case was brought before the Recerder’s Ceurt, Montreal, on Friday last. David Thomas was arraigned for vagrancy. ‘The prisoner is a young man of good features and respectable address, but was clad in the most abject tatters, and
‘appeared filthy in person beyond expression.
It was shown in evidence that he had been educated in the Montreal College and was a good classical scholar, and formerly held the position ef book-keeper in a wholesale house. He is the owner at present of four good houses in the city and was never known to be drunk ; his only weakness was determined idleness, which of late had amounted to a disease with him. He would not exert himself so much as to wash and clothe himself. The prisoner had neo de- fence. His Honor commented on the strange nature of the case and sent the prisoner to jail for two months, express- ing the hepe that he would there find somebody who would make him wash himself.

A strange animal was recently seen by two men on the pleins near Pugwash River, N. S. It stood erect about six feet in height, covered all over with black hair, shoulders as broad asa heavy man, slender about the leins, and small hips, long arms and legs, with feet about fifteen inches long, and arms reaching half way between the knee and feet, countenance between a monkey and a dog, with the head sloping back like a negro. They had ample time to observe it correctly, for it stood till they were within forty feet of it, when it started to run across an open plain of about two hundred yards into the woods.—Moncton

! i | Injuries to the Brain. |
SOME REMARKABLE INSTANCES OF RECOVERY.
The Indianapolis Journal gives a report of a lecture upen the brain recently de- livered by Dr. W. B. Fletcher in that city, inwhich he mentioned the fellowing in- stances of recovery of persons after severe injury to the brain :
Once, about ten years age, I was on Sonth Mississippi street, in this city, and was called upon to attend the injuries of an Irish bey, upon whose head a piece ef stone had fallen. A large rent was made in the skull, through which the brain matter was rapidly oozing. © I took out nearly a tablespoonful of it, and removed a piece of the stone and some fragments of
bone. The lad recovered in a few weeks, has gone through. our public schools
with credit, and is rather brighter than the average lad.
At another time a little giri fell froma third stery window of a biock situated at the eorner of Maryland and Illinois streets. Her skull was completely tlattened, and the brain very much compressed. The skull was pressed back inte proper shape, and the girl recovered.
One very remarkable incident occurred inmany years ago in this State. A man,
while attending to a blast in a coal mine, ignited the spark from a crow-bar before he was ready, and the bar was thrown threugh his hands. One end of it struck under his chin, and, passing clear threngh the brain, protruded thregh the top of the skull. The bar was removed, and the man lived twelve years in perfect health, mentally and phy- sically. A similar case, which happened in the Eastern States is mentioned in many recentiy written physiologies.
Last year an explosion occurred ‘in the Eagle machine works, in this city. A piece of splinter entered the head of a gen- tieman, entering the brain to the depth of 25 inches. The wood was eventually re- moved, and with it some _ brain-matter. The gentleman recovered, and is engaged in business in this city to-day. Numbers of other cases, equal in point of importance and interest to those [ have related have eceurred, and are on record. I could men- tion many more if time permitted.
The fact that the brain may sustain such injuries witheut producing death must be explained on the fellowing theory : Ina healthy cendition the brain matter com- pletely fills the skull, and the introduction of a fereign cbject, however small, creates a pressure which is sufficient and sure to cause death unless a corresponding quan- tity of bene or brain-matter escapes by the aperture caused by the entrance of the fereign matter. A bullet enters the brain and an amount of brain-matter equal in size must be permitted to escape, or the pressure is greater than can be withstood. In each of the cases cited such was the case. Even when such an amount of matter escapes, death may ensue, but it dees net necessarily follow. In apoplexy a bleod- vessel in the brain is ruptured, and no aperture existing in the skull, there is no means of exit for the blood thus freed. The pulsation of the heart continues to force blood into the brain, and death results from presssure on the brain.

Hog Packing in the West.
The Cincinnati Price Current, in referring to the movement of hogs and progress of pack- ing, says: Hogs are now moving freely to market, and generally of good qua‘ity. Dur- ing the past week packing operations in the West have been more effective than they were in the correspondin;; time last year, the gain being about 25,00) hogs. The total now reached in the West, sinc@ March 1, is 2,150,000 hogs, against 1.485,000 at same date last year, increase of 665,000. Dating frem November Ist the total packing 1s 9,100,000, against $,965,000 during the same peried in preceding year,an increase this season of 135,- 000 in number, while there is no impertant variation in the aggregate weight. Prices of hogs are being well maintained and are 50¢. to 60 per 100 Ibs. higher than a year ago. The product is meeting with a good domestic consumptive demand, but does not particularly engage the attention ef speculators. ‘The ex- port movement of product continues steadily in excess ef corresponding time last vea .

The Chinese Entrance of Kuldja.
China has really made good her menace and has occupied by force the region which 2ussia would net, in accordance with her promise, surrender as a right. The mat- ter in dispute between the two countries has been a subject for discussion at all the capitals of Kurope, and opinion is divided ; but all those who regard it impartially are convinced that Russia has acted in bad faith in the first place, and in domineering reliance en her greater nulitary strength in the second. In the meantime word came that Chinese troops were being massed upon the Russian frentiers, while Russia, aware that her enemy had other difficulties on hand, continued centident of maintain- ing her ground or even of getting the bet- ter of China in some other way. If reli- ance is to be placed on the news just re- ceived. China intends to show the world that she will be neither cowed nor cheated by her over-bearing and unscrupulous an- tagonist.
