One of the mos markable ,illustrations of this characteristic which we have ever heard of occurred with a flock of sheep, about a week ago, belonging to A@squatieron the Wimmers. A lirge mop of about 4,000 was turned out of the sheds atter being shoru, to be shepherced on the side of a creek where the grass grew more abundantly than on the plains turther back. While de- pasturing around or near a very large hole in the river bed, from which all the water had evaporated, one of the flock, urged by | some unaccountable impulse, yatnped tuto it; another followed, and another, till the whole flock rushed to the spot: and notwithstanding | every exertion on the part of the shepherd, | they pressed en masse into the large basin tl! it ‘was literally filled with a moving mass of ani- mal life. The pressing of the flock behind ren- dered escape impossible, until the hole was lit- | erally filled to its level with the struggling | sheep. When the mania died out—for during Ms continuance the shepherd had not the slightest control over the flock—they were driven from the place. but it was found that no Jess than eight hundred and twenty-five were smothered, or otherwise killed vy the pressure. This accident seems the more unaccountable, as we are informed that there was neither wa- ter nor grass in the hole to tempt the rush.” S7 The Gazette de Mons. Belgium. gives us the following account of a fire near Frameries There were assembled in the parish church at | Frameries upwards of 1,40 chidren at the | early mass. The mass was nearly finished, | when all cf a sudden a volume of dark smoke | breke trom the sacristy. A general panic struck the whole congregation, more especially the children, and a general rush took place to the several doors of the sacred edifice; many | persons were thrown down and trampled upon, | and such was the crowd of children that they neither could get out nor return. They were firmly locked together, and their cries and screams were truly distressing. With the as- sistance of the Christian Brothers, their teach- ers and other persons, they were put into something like order, and were able to gain the street. Here, again was fresh trouble. Some had lost their caps, others their sabofs. others their books, slates, ete.,and there were tears and lamensations among the juveniles. Hap- pily the most severe cases were a few contn- sions. The cause ofthe alarm was a wardrobe | accidentally taking fire, and a few buckets of | Water soon set all to rights. M HyprorHonia.— Daniel Harris, living in Parish Grove | township, Benton county, about seven miles | south west of Oxford, died on Thursday morn- ing, March 22, from that terrible malady, hydrophobia, after four days of interse suffer- ing. The Benton Tribune, in giving an account | of the affair, says:—One night, about two | months ago, Mr. Harris brought a pup that he | was raising into the house, supposing from its actions that it had the distemper. While en- aged in administering some simple remedy for that disease, he was bitten on the finger. He then killed the dog, not supposing him, how- ever, to be mad, and nothing further was thought about the matter until the Sunday before he died, when he was attacked with ail | the symptoms of hydrophobia. Everything was done that could be to alleviate his suffer- ingt, but of no avail. Spasms alternated with periods of perfect rationality until Thursday morming, when be died in a terrible rage. Wheo will pie learn that human lives are more valuable than dogs ! S7 The largest Sunday schoo! in the world is in Stockport, Engiand. In one building there are now over 4,000 under the same roo‘, Givided among S6 rooms. There are over 0 teachers, and all except five of these have been | scholars. What is remarkable is that over 2,000 of these scholars are past 16 years of age, | and more of them are boys thau girls, and more of the teachers are males than females. Besides instruction in Scripture, they teach writing and elementary book-keeping, with | Bo books used except the Bible. A great por- tion of the scholars are operatives in factories, | and have no other means of education. A New Diszase aMonG Bees.—Trichinosis is stull occupying the attention of the Paris police, who have forbidden the sale of raw pork. The order was to have taken effect on the 27th, 2th, and 29th of March, allowing, | however, the smoked hams of Germany to come into market. A report hasalso been put | ut about that the bees are being suddenly stricken. Some who have turned their atten- tion to this matter have thought the hives deciminated by the bees sucking from poison- ous vegetables a parasite. But the last micro- scopic examination of M. Duchemin dissipates this view, for among the dead bees he finds the ditue animal which is often seen in sugar, and induces the disease known as the ‘grocer’s teh,” and he be ieves this insect is the cause of the distress among the bees- queens bauer SEEN No Boys YeT.—A lady and gentleman called ata store a few days since to make some pur- chases. The lady was talkative. and purchased one or two cles. When che twain were about to take their leave, the accommodating salesman asked the lady, who had done the talking and paid the bill, if she would not pur- chase one or more of his tasteful hats for boys. The lady, assuming the dignity of Queen Elizabeth, said: «No; 1 have only been mar- ried about twenty minutes; I have no boys yet.” S7A man got tipsy and indulged in a night's sleep in a country grave yard. On opening his eyes in the morning he noticed the motto on a graye stone, “He is not dead, but sleepeth.” “When Iam dead,” hefremarked, with great | deliberation, “I'll own up, and have no such Statement as that above my carcass.” S7 When Adam got tired naming his de- ee he said, “detall the rest be called Smith.” S77 The Montreal Gazette says the persons ‘who withdrew their money from the savings Danks are quietly returning it to the same in- atituuons.
