Mr Errey, a farmer in the Cobrico district, near Camperdown, combats the commonly held opinion as to rabbits not eating phosphorised oats if they can obtain green food. He writes :“I have heard remarks made by several persons, and a short time ago I would have felt inclined to agree with them, that it was no good laying poisoned oats where green feed was plentiful. But quite recently I have had proof that the rabbits will eat it readily where green feed is plentiful, and I think it but just to the public that the fact should bo made known. In one of our paddocks at Cobrico, from which the sheep had been removed, about three weeks before the poisoned oats were laid, the rye grass had grown in it and the feed was at the time of laying the oats quite fresh, and plenty of t. The oats" were put on freely, and to my surprise were taken readily by the rabbits, and in a very short time both oats and rabbits disappeared. I have also laid tho oats about my garden where the feed was in some parts of it a foot high, and there the rabbits have eaten just as readily to all appearances as in any of the paddocks. I have been informed that the oats have been tried on the plains at a time when the grass was dry, and in that case all would be dry food, and the oats would not be any change to the bunnies. I believe that if the phosphorised oats were tried on the plains at a time when the natural feed was green, we would not hear it reported as formerly that the oats were a failure. I think that the change is what is wanted to tempt the rabbits, and when the natural herbage is green and fresh, dry feed should be tried, as bunny likes a change of diet just as much as any other animal. At anyrate the oats might be tried at a time when they would prove a change to tho rabbits ” —‘‘Leader.” “ Bnchu-Paiba.”—Quick, complete cure, all annoying kidney, bladder, and urinary diseases.

I (rust everything to habit, upon which, in all ages, (he law-giver a* well ns the schoolmaster has mainly placed his reliance ; hahi L) which mates everything easy, and casts ah difficulties upon a deviation from a wonte course. Mate sobriety a habit, and intempord ance will be hateful ;.make prud nee a habit and r-ckless profligacy will be contrary to the, child, grown or adult, us the most atrocious crime to any. Give a child the habit of sacredly regarding truth ; of carefully respecting the propelty of others; of scrupulously abstaining from all acts of improvidence, which involve him in distress, and be will just as likely think of rushing into an element in which he cannot breath, as of lying, or cheating. or stealing. —Lord Brougham. The Roumclian Archives have now been removed to Sophia in Bulgaria^ The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. r l his is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy iivitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country bad expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make monev on the crec.it and good name of jj (5.
