Anecdotes.— Barnham related a ion mot attributed to Sydney Smith, which I believe has never appeared in print. In writing to a friend he said, — " Unfortunately the house is full of cousins — — would they were once removed." He also told us of a remark made by the late Lord Lytielton after visiting, in company with the head-master, Dr "Wool, the room at Rugby, in which corporal punishments were inflicted. " What motto would be appropriate ?" asked the Dominie. "' Great cry and little woolf." responded the other, looking at the diminutive form of the doctor. — Lord ~W. Lennox's Drafts on my Memory. Irish paper states that one unexpected and curious eftect of the cattle disease in England 3ias been vastly to raise the value of goats. These hitherto despised animals are now exported in considerable numbers from Ireland, and have been sold in several English counties at from £4 to £5 each, the ordinary price being not over 10s. *
