A Lawful Fence. — Judge Cannon, of Clay County, North Carolina, recently charged the grand jury of that county tint a lawful fence should be " horse•3»igb, bull strong, and pig-tight." Juvenile Sympathy. — A cliild on being •shown the picture of " Daniel in the Lions' Den" was affected to tears. "Don't grieve, pet," said the mother, "he was not devoured." "I'm not crying for tb.it," was the reply ; " but do you see that little lion in the corner, mamma ? Well, I'm afraid he won't get any, for Daniel is so rStoall he won't go round." A Western Senator wrote home a short time ago that he was only able to get ".four hours for sleep out of twentyfour," and that during that " period a -candidate for office safe by the bedside and ■watched him, as he slept." A "Girl of the Period" novelty, "which is to be hoped will not become popular, is a collar of the shape usually worn by sailors to their shirts. They are made of a coarse rougli-lookirg stonecolored linen, bordered with blue, and a simulated handkerchief of the same material, tied in a sailor's knot, i-s attached to the front. A correspondent of the Southern Cross writes as follows •: — Every man who plants an acre of flax yearly will, at the end of ten years, have acquired a regular income" of £100 per annum, with little cost or trouble and no risk; or, if he will plant 2 acres per annum for five years, the same result will be produced in that period. I want to see every flax mill surrounded by 20,. 30, 50, or 100 acres of cultivated flax, and I am sure the neighborhood of such mills will be thriving ones. I wish every Agricultural Society would offer a premium for the best 5 acres of cultivated flax, and a week before any Agricultural Show let an umpire go round, inspect, and report upon them. lam sure great good would result from it.
