There are very many valuable tables
useful to every class of persons. We
have room to notice but one—the table
of poisons. The various poisons are
all arranged with their several antidotes,
in such manner as ?o be comprehended
by. al most any one. AYo give a single

trust the time is coming, when such
refusals to let the people sec both
sides of every question, will be wholly
repudiated. I was filled with aston
ishment when democrats refused to
allow this, for I thought them wholly
fearless, as long as truth was left free
to expose error. - But alas, great is the ;
power ofthe liquor traffic, and m
their individual capacity,and as best
we may, and humbly hope that those
who would keep truth from the people,
will have to do better, or be replaced
by others who will do better.
Popular Ignorance.—The Mor
ris Jerseyman learns that a boy named
Henry Herring, aged about thirteen
years, while performing some duty on a
boat, fell over into the Morris Canal.
An alarm was immediately given, a
boat-hook was procured, and the boy ta
ken out. He had been in the water only
about live minutes, and it is’stated
that his eyes were open, and that he
had everv appearance of coming to
life ; but his rescuers-tied a roap around
his neck, and threw' him back into
the canal, where he remained until
morning, they alleging as reason for
so doing, that they thought the law
required him to remain in the water un
til an inquest bo*,ild be to held.!
country, known to botanists under the
name of Cyperivscscxilenius. It grows
spontaneously in the lisfot humid soil
,of Spain, and is cultivated in Germany
and the South of France. It grows to
a height of about three feet, on a tri
angular stalk er rush, with a spreading
head, bearing yellow flowers, which
are succeeded by long cars. The roots
are fibrous, of a yellow colour, bearing
small bulbs .about the sixe ot a small
bean, and are known by the Spaniards
by the name of “chufas.” If planted
in May or June they are ready to be
harvested in October. They resemble
in taste' a delicious chesnut, or cocoa-
nut, and like them may be eaten, raw
or cooked. They are chiefly employed
in making ait or treat (orchata de eh’u-

YoLuanic Phenomenon in Nova
Scotia—The St. John News states
that there has been a great excitement
among the inhabitants along the south
shore of Nova Scotia, by a serious of
small earthquakes, which have taken
place on the Granvelle mountains.
Several months since the mountain
quaked, and a deep fissure was opened
in it, from whence smoke issued for
about four Weeks. About three weeks
since, the ground was again violently
agitated, a large chasm was opened,
for with a volume of smoke and stones
were-ejected. Eruptions of this moun
tain, since that time, have occured al
most daily, and many persons have
moved from the immediate neighbor
hood, OYving to the * danger of being
destroyed by the huge rocks throwu
from the -.rater.
Shower of Ice-
In a letter from John 0. Diam, of
Saint Mary’s Ohio, he informs us that a
fierce storm of thunder and lightning
visited that place on the 22nd of last
month, and lasted for half an hour, du
ring wich period tncre fell large pieces
of ice and large hailstones. One
piece which he had picked up, three
inches in circumference, was compos
ed of three balls, one inside of the oth
er. The inside one was clear and
dense; the second appeared to be made
up of wet snow, while the shell or out
side one was dense and hard The
phenomenon of these hailstones—not
an uncommon one in many parts o
our country—-may be nttributeU to
"Teat shocks of atmospheric electricity.
If they were caused by warm and cold
currents and clouds, as one suppose,
how is it that they always accompany
thunderstorms:'
