This low and mercenary sheet is fairly rabid. Disappoipted-in getting thie seven thousand dollars for its raid on the Wel- land Canal management, and bereft of Government patronage, it has become wild and reckless. It now appears to have Scott on the brain. } Day after day its columns teem with abuse of the man that a few weeks ago it lauded to the skies. In issue after issue it has told its readers that in the last session of Parliament Mr. Scutt gave sixty-five votes, and of these votes only twg were, given with Mr. Blake. and the sixty-three against him. This falsehood has been repeated over and over, with all the vehemence and force of truth. Now, what are the facts! The journal of the Legislature shows but 54 divisions last session. On these divisions Mr. Scott only voted 31 times--with Mr. Blake on ten occasions and against him on twenty-one votes. On 23 divisions Mr. Scott did not vote.

The : Londbn News of December 25th, says : *' On Saturday the whole metropo- lis, with its suburbs for miles round, was visited by one of the densest fogs experi- enced for. many years. It lasted for more than half of the day, and was especially palpable and general throughout the city. There has been nothing like it in that part of the town since the morning of the memorable 9th of November, 1870, when the civic pagent, in the mayorality of Sir Thomas Dakin, started by torchlight from Guildhall on its way to Westminster. The fog of Saturday seemed to set for the most part from the southern side of the me- tropolis, though it was pretty general all over. London bridge was barely visible from C: street viaduct of the Lond and South-eastern Railway, and the river traffic, especially below the bridge, was suspended for some hours. On all the suburban railways fog signals were largely used from an early hour in the moruing, and extreme care had to be used both in working the station signals and in running In the short run between Cannon street and Charing Cross the trains were repeatedly stopped between | stations, and detained for many minutes from considerations of safety. At noon it was as dark in the heart of the city as at midnight, with the aggravatich --that public lamps were not lit, and the scene in the space in the front of the Mansion H , with the tant and angry alter- cations among contending drivers, conse- quent upon the stoppage of the traffic, almost baffled description. It was the same all along fleet street, from Temple Bar eastward, and in all the other main F thoroughfares of the city. Toward ene o'clock, :when the fog was mest dense, and when the prevailing confusion had bx worse confounded, an appeal was made to the proper authoritiesat Guild- hall to have the public lamps lighted for s time, but the answer was that the cou- tractors were only bound by their contract to light them between sunset and sunrise. There must have been great risk of life and limb at some of the principal cross- ings. At length the large private gas- lamps in front of the Mansion House were lit, as those on the southern side of the Bank of England had been for some time before, and in that way the gloom was sensibly lessened. Most of the shop-keep- ers in the principal streets lighted their gas. Shortly after one o'clock the fog be- gan to abate; the sun, which until then had only been 'visible as times a large blood-red spot in the skv, at length shone out, and the metropolis assumed its ac- customed appearance. It is not easy fora man who lives in fort to realize what di fort actually means. Bat it may be worth his while to find out.

Take a string, put it around the beast, standing square, just behind the shoulder blade ; measure on a foot rule the feet and inches, the animal is in circumference--this . is called the girth; then, with the siring, measure 'from the bone of the tail which plumbs the line along the back to the' fore part of the shoulder blade ; take the dimenions on the foet rule as before, which is the length, and work the figures in the follow" ing manner : Girth of the bullock, 6 feet 4 inches ; length, b feet 3 inches; which, multiplied together, makes 31 square su- perficial feet ; that again multiplied by 23 (the : number of pounds allowed to each superficial foot of cattle measuring less than 7, and more than § in girth), makes 713 pounds; and allowing - 14 pounds to the stone, is 50 stone 13 pounds' When the animal measures less than 9, and more than 7 feet in girth, 31 is the number of pounds to each superficial foot. Again, suppose & pig or any small beast sheuld measure 2 feet in girth, and 2 feet along the back, which multiplied together, make 4 square feet ; that multiplied by11, the number of pounds allowed for each svuare | foot of cattle measuring less than 3 feet ih girth, makes 44 pounds ; which, divided] by 14 to bring it to stones, is 3 stone sand 2 pounds. Again, suppose a calf, a Pp, ote., should measure 4 feet 6 inches in girth ; and 3 feet 9 inches in length, which, multiplied together, make 16} square feet; that multiplied by 16, the number of pounds to all cattle meas- uring less than 5 feet and more than 3 in girth, makes 264 pounds ; which, divided by 14 to bring it.to stones, is 18 stone 13 pounds. The dimensions of the girth and length of back of cattle, sheep, calves or hogs, may be as exactly taken this way as is at all necessary for any computation or valuation of stock, and will answer exactly to the fore quarters, sinking the offal ; and which every man, who can get even a bit of chalk, can easily perform. . A deduction must be made for a half fatted beast of one stone in 20, from that of a fat one ; and for a cow that has had calves, ome stone must be allowed, and anotheffor not being properly fat. Tue Szxsarion Canyon Triox.--The London Echo says :--It may be interesting to the public to know that the sensational cannon trick now performed at the Royal Holborn Amphitheatre is just 990 'years old, and that an account may be found of it in the Annual Register of 1772. A cor- respondent of that publication describes the new feat *' of a man's standing a shot of a cannon at a small distance, with the method of doing it with safety." A man boasted that he could, at ten yards distance, stand the shot of a nine-pounder cannon charged with a full quantity of powder and a proper bail. His friend, not desir- ing to be accessory to his death, desired him not to oppese his body when the can- non was fired, but to catch the ball in his hand. This he did, receiving no hurt, although the ball was of full weight, and the lnudness of the explosion left no doubt but that Is had pus in the full charge of powder. TEe secret is to put very little of the powder behind the ball and the rest in front of it, the wadding being put in last of all, and rammed down tight. The writer who discovered this trick to the world thinks that, for fear of accidents, it is better fo practice against thin deal deal boards ; but as the fear of accidents is the chief charm of modern entertain- ments, and, as in this case, the life of the poses of amusement. We do not know whether the feat, as performed at the Hol- born Amphitheatre, is done in this way, but the thing looks probable enough. te heara coming up w deceased lying at wu. a piece of Lhe stone ov. pounds in weight within a few . him.

The dog would draw the wood- chuck partly out from the wall, and the woodchuck would take the dog back. The old farmer's sympathy getting high on the side of the dog, he thought he must help him. So, putting himself in position, with axe above the dog, he waited for the attrae- tion of the woodchuch, when he would cut him down.
