In many in-.tmces the bales of clack brought from 2i to 6£d per lb more thau the beat of the clip m which they belonged, scoured black realising up to 2s 53, and greasy op to 17d. It is believed tbat this advance was occasioned by the demand for a description of all-wool clothing patented by Dr. Jager, .one of the peculiarities of whioh is that as far as prssible no dyes must be used m its pre paration, Every artlole of dress under this system is of wool, and: not an atom of other material is allowed. It is ap parent that if no dye is to be used, people will naturally demand the darker wools for outer garments. ;

Seventeen years ago Edward X Russell met with an accident by which the tendons m one of his legs were severed, rendering the limb useless. The operation consisted of the transferring of two tendons from a dog, which had been etherised for. the purpose to Huasell's limb, where they wore united with tho severed tendons m. that member. For ten months after the operation Russell was not allowed to put his leg to tha ground. He hag now re.

FFERRIMATX would c«U your attention c to tbia Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combinea n'l the advantages of the various Milln now m use, and also tbo follow- ing impottaut and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Mills of similar eizc, thereby increasing.the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Second.— Tho improved plan of hunting tho shoo upon, strong strap-hinged . hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. ■ Third.— l 6 the mattered fastening the drnm cr hena to the pw>te bprneansofaoaatiron half circle, nnd secured to tho posts by screws (instead of •wooden cleats moiuiosd into .posts and held by wocden keys), adding increase* strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage ofi raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a Bcrew. , . The irons Me of the most approvedp the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being ix'; :\ strong. The gearing is all placed on the ia-i . side of the mil), out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guaranteo thie Mill to be eqoal to, and m fact superior, m all rcapocta, to any now m use. Tho fan with wind boards are bo ar- ranged that tho wind strikes the hurdle m Buih a manner as to blow nil fcul stuff and light graiu over tho hurdle.

Another concootion called "Refined Extract. of Euoalyptus" has made its appearance since. . This produot stands, according to Dr Owen, foremost m causing injurious efieots. That gentleman communicates at a meeting of tbe Medical Society of Victoria, Ibat a child, living at Fitzroy became most seriously indisposed through its use. In another case a lacly states on tho strength of statutory declaration that she sufferod cruelly from the effects of the same concoction. To guard tho high reputa- tion of our manufacture wo feel warranted m exposing tho above facts, uud dosirc the public to exercise care and precaution when buying BAMPFBandSONa— [Advt.j
