MISCELLANEOUS. TOLLAND COURT HOUSE. Thursday night was a very colcl one, particu larly in Tolland. The Court had been in ses sion all day—the lawyers had finished tliftir ‘bar ineeting’—the landlord bad rakod up bis fire, the landlady had bolted lier door, and the “multitude of counsellors,” wherein is sq^d to be safety, had gone to sleep.. The cry office, alarming every where, but especially in a place where there is neither engine to put it out, nor newspapear to chronicle tho disaster, came up on their demurring slumbers like a sur-rebut- ter. Where was it? Not in a private dwelling —notin the jail, but in their workshop,the Court House. . “Oh, * then and there’ was hurrying to andfro." A descent in shirt tail was mado upon the kitchen,—the learned brothers, well knowing the truo definition thereof in G. A Stove ns qn •heads, page 10 tit.

(Extracted from n jfrench periodical work received In exchange forthe American Former.J Gardners xvago tlie same war against frogs as with moles and other insects mischevious to their crops. But they are wrong in including frogs in the goncral proscription, since they not only do them- no injury, but render them, on the contrary, impbrtanwservices; for' they are carnivorous as well as herbivorous, and greatly] prefer insects to vegetable food. They are particularly'fond of snails, and swallow, them’ even with their sfiells on, when they are not too large. ' If you open a frog, you xvill find his stomach full of insects hurtful to agriculture, and especially snails. Tho shell they digest, or rather dissolve in tlioir stomachs, in the samo way that dogs doioues,.and turkies the shells of nuts. v’yLdJ [Wo once mentioned a fact which was j>or- Imps viewed as .1 jest though not so intended— xve have learned from our mivy. officers, with perfect convictiou of its truili, that in Itally and ou the shores of the mediterranean, tur keys are fattened by feeding them on unbroken English Walnuts, which they have the power to digest speedily. As to employing frogs for the destruction of insects, would it not he quite as xvell to breed land terrapins for that purpose? They probably subsist more exclu sively on tho insect tribe. How wonderful the arrangements of Providence, wliicb'seoms to have created otic species of animated cx- istencics merely to subsist on anotlibr, anil that another—perpetuating the race of each by tlie same principle; for truo it is, that “Not taab Alone, but :.!l that roam the wood, Or win- the sky, or roll nlong’thc flood, Each loves i'-elf, but not itseltalone, Eiii'li sex desires alike, till txvo nrc one. j , ' Mind should be mingled xvith ntind, as much in the converse xvith the diffincr.t sexes, ;is teresting.features,jn',tho,literature of the pr.c- sentccntury.—.V.
