A farmer writes as follows to a distinguished scientific agriculturist, to whom he felt under obligations for introducing a variety of swine : — " Respected sir, I went yesterday to tbe cattle fair ; I found several pigs of your species. There was a great variety of beasts ; and I was very much astonished at not seeing you there." A Sydney paper says: — Attention Las been attracted by a recently published l'arliame itary return, disclosing that banks and other fioancial institutions hold in their own names 602 runs, comprising nearly 19,000,000 acres. The rental paid is £24,415, with 677,485 acres of purchased land attached. This is equal to 14 per cent of the total leased run area in the colony. A discussion has arisen whether this condition of affairs may not involve dauger, financial and political. The banks rejoin that their proprietary interest is only apparent, the runs being transferred as security for advances frequently insignificant. The signs of the times are ominous, and terrifying to contemplate, the nations of the earth are on the watchtower, and all prophetic of a coming storm. It behoves every sensible person to be on the alert, for the day of action is fast approaching— Health and strength will be the great desideratum. These can both be procured and then maintained by the timely use of " Ghollah's Gheat Indian Cures." They are the finest improvers of the constitution ever yet known in the shape of medicine.
