Two brothers named Watson have been giv ing remarkable exhibitions of tool hardiness and bkill in Tony 1'nstor's Theatre. They are billed as "noted "Western scouts and sharp-shooters," and have the look of froticrsnien. They begin by displaying rifles, andshooting bullets through blocks of wood to prove that tho ammunition and missiles nro genuine, On both sides of tho stage, close to the front, thick wooden pads arc placed, lor the bullets to lodge in. At the beginning of tho display of inarkmanship, ono man holds an apple in his lingers and tho other shoots a a ball through it from across tho Stage; and next the man who risked his fing ers becomes tho shooter repetition of the feat. Each in turn hits iho bulls e.ve of a tarirct ten times without a jdNs, tho bulls-eye being just above tho" Jieuu oi the urotner who jioius mo ap ple. A potato is placed on one's head and shot olF by tho other, tho potrito being split to pieces and tho bullet entering tho pad in front of which tho Lolder stands. This feat is repeated many times, tho brothers changing at titudes and holding the rifle in positi ons seemingly awkward enough to in ereaso the peril. Tho brothers wheel quickly and shoot potatoes simultane ously oil' each others heads. Yesterday ono of tho potatoes was barely grazed but 11 second trial was successful. A ....... II'. ....

Sitting Hull received his name because a buflalo bull was, by a lucky shot, thrown upon its haunches in plain sight of his mothers topee at the natal hour, whilo tho cavortingof a fractious pony furnished a name for tho re doubtable Crazy Horse. iVer Ilitcen lleyistcr. Tju;y Ni;vi:u Do. Trials nevcrcomo singly. It was only last week that wo learned mat me coal supply wouiu no exhausted in a little over 0,000,000 years, and now news comes that tho planet Vulcan is lost. We can hardly think any onp would be mean enough to steal Vulcan, but tho nights have been dark lately, and there are a good many tramps nbout. It Vulcan lias fallen into the hands of an lione.it per son it will probably bo returned; but perhaps tho best way would bo to offer a liberal reward and no questions ask ed Xorwich JJullelin. If you want your boys to stay on the farm, encourago in every way what ever will interest them in the things of tho farm. Let them yoke the calves and halter-break the colts to their heart's conten, and do not grudge them the time nor the trifling exponso that may be required. You cannot make a better investment. Suncwo Plaoiakism. Wfille literature continues, plagarlsm will exist, and pretend ers Bnatch.from honest writers tholrjcstduos. A friend of ours, smart enough In his way, but not quite equal to his position as minis ter, for years pursued a very clever system of plagiarism and through the exosllenco of tbo sermons be delivered, becatno a fiv orlte wllh his people. By and by one of his old collegetraatos paid him a visit, spent tl'O Sabbath with him, and beard him preach. Tho visitor was surprised at tho depth and power of the sermon, and questioned him, afterward, concerning It, saying it was the best he had over heard. The minister laiighos. "You can keep a secret?" ho ask ed. "Well, then, I'll you about it. My wlfn Is a soholar. Sho selects sormons for me and translates them into Latin ; then I take her translation, without having seen tho original, and retranslate it into English, The sermon you heard to-day was ono of Dr. Clurko's ; and I don't bolievo ho could havo recognized it if ho had heard it him self." And that's tha way frand nourishes. In tho Autumnnl literature which tills tho papers, wo find tho following: "This Is tho beatou whin a man sows and a woman rips that is if ho lias no more liloa of wjut n woman's iicnrt yearns for nnd de mands, than to obllgo her to mako o or hor Ust year's dress." Tjii: Dimovj.ky or Fun:. Kire, the common souico of heat, of light, and of life, and tho active principle of a multitude of industries, and of metal lurgical industry in particular, is un questionably 0110 of the gieatest con quests achieved by man over nature. Tho discovery of lire was more than a benefit; it was, 111 fact, a grand stride on tho road to civilization. With lire aroso.foeiability, the family, tho Microti joys of tho domestic health, all iudus Uies, ali arts, together with the wou ors they have produced, and still pro duco from day to tlay. Ileuco we can readily understand how it is that fire lias ever been and still is, among many nations, 'the object of a special worship (priest of Haul, Ghebors, Hindoo Urah lulns, Hainan vcitals, priestess of tho Mm In J'cru, etc.): and that it has often iigured in tho religious or funeral rites ot nations most remote iroiu ono an other, both in time and space, as tho C'haldees, Hebrews, Greeks, ltomans, --ll.Mw: H...1. jm.L. ll.,t ln.it,. and when was this great discovery jiiikIo. In tho absonco of which wo can hardly concelvo of tho possibility of Jiuman arts or oven ot Human exis tence? Did man, as wo aro told in tho myths of India and Grecco, steal flro from heaven, or did ho, as other leg ends afllrin, take advantago of spontan eous forest-fires, arising from tho vio lent nibbing together of dry branches under tho action of tho wind; or llnally, was man so ingenious, oven from tho beginning, as to doviso ono of those Bimplo and practical contrivances by means of which certain savago and Judf-elvllizotl tribes in our own tinio obtain tho 11 ro thoy need for their dally msos? Krom tho Popular Science jMonthly for Novembor. Effect ov Salt on Whi:at. In an interesting sorios of exporlmonts re cently made on tho farm of tho Royal Agricultural Socloty of England, tho niiinurlul valuo of salt was unmistak ably iudicatod. An aero of wheat lrossod with 1100 lbs or common salt yielded HO bushels of grain, with a pro lortioniito amount of straw, whilo an adjoining aero, loft unmatured, produc ed only 110 bushels per aero, with tho straw Imperfectly developed, showing an Increase of ton bushuli per acre. Tho ontlro cost of tho crop is not stated but this experiment bhows that tho ad ditional ton bushels resulting from tho salt woro produced at a cos,t of W cents each. Inanothercase a pleco of ground intended for whoat was ploughed tho proceed lug fall, and again in Alay, whon it was sowed with salt, and after wards ploughed twlco before seeding. on mo ist anil 'M 01 September wheat was sowed at tho rate of two bushels td 1110 acre, rnu eron when hnrvosli-ii mo estimate oi To Xjirtclio.s.
