QUEER EXPORT TRADE.

Cousul Scott mentions a cu-ious n port frora "watow, viz., namely ducks eggs, which he had observed on steameis bound south for Bangkok »ud the Straits. They have, for the most pirf, oh n incubated to within a few i d*YB of hatching. Tbey are brought on board the s'eamera m shallow baskets m lsrge numberc Iv the taskots tbey are arranged m laye»s two or three deep, each layer carefully covered and surrounded with soft Chinese paper. No sort f>f artificial heat is applied to them. The baskets are placed anywhere about the deck, or sluug to the awning supports. The Boffc paper and the heat of the oliinnte as the vtss'l runs south are sufficient to preserve the newly-batohed ducklings from injury, and not only so, but before the vessels reach their destination roost of the tggs ate hatched out, and m lieu of the eggs that were shipped hundreds cf young ducks are landed at Singapore or Bangkok " all doing well and thriving." It will be an agreeable surprise to persons subjeot to attaobs of billious oolio to learn that prompt relief may be had by taking Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy. In many instances the attaok may be prevented by taking thie remedy as soon as the first ejmptoms of the disease appear. For sale by E. Shaw, Medical Hall. Blenheim. a
