We can't believe this yarn, though it is actually told in the Yankee papers. On the Western railroads large rotary snow-ploughs clear away the snow drifts The plougha, like immense augure, revolve in this mass, throwing an avalanche of snow into the air at every turn. At a blockade on the Fort Worth line, the passengers were astonished by a shower of beef. On all sides fell sirloin, tender loin, rump, and steaks. A herd of Texas cattle had been frozen in the cut a week before, and the plough was now dissecting them. Fires were lighted in the snow, and the passengers enjoyed an impromptu feast.

But this time it unfortunately caught it below the hood, thus giving the snake a chance to give it a bile on lower lip. This so infuriated the dog that it tightened its bold and severed the snake in two. The snake's bite, however, did its work, for shortly after the brave little dog frothed from the mouth, and died in a few minutes.

Its colour is somewhat dark, we consider it a very creditable production, considering that the European foreman had only native assistance, and that of an unskilled description. The manager is quite confident that when once he gets the Chinese thoroughly versed in working the machinery, which will take about a month. a very much better class of paper will readily be turned mut. The machinery, which was manufactured by the well known firm of Messrs. Jas Bettram & Son, of Edinburgh, has given very satisfaction, working without a single hitch. This industry has in our opinion, a profitable future before it.

It has been now shewn on first opening on Estate in Bornco, there are great difficulties to be cacountered, forest amongst wem being the matter of the Coalie supply; it was found that the coelies engaged, being inexperienced hands, could not stand the hard work required, such as cutting jungle, making roads, drains, &c, and keep in Lealth, the result being that many were entirely incapacitated, while others proved use!:8 for some time. The immediate effect of this curvilment labour was bviously to cause the Manager to materially reduce the area under cultivation, as, to have attempted more, might simply have involved the loss of the whole, and his decision under the circumstances was undoubtedly the right one. His report appended hereto will best explain the situation. It was generally thought that the seasons in Barnes were later than Sumatra, which has since proved a fallacy, consequently instead of the planting being finished in June it ran on till September, and before the trees were ready for cutting heavy rains set in with disastrous effects, and, with the flooding of some of the fields, the Coa.pany unfortunately lost. 64 of those planted. As however planting in future will be commenced much earlier in the year, this should not occur again.
All the trees are now cut, and the crop is in process of drying and fermenting From the Manager's late advices a yield of about 130 piculs is expected, which should be shipped about April,

Chaplain-Rev. A. Gumey Goldsmith, M.A. Extract from Chaplain's Annual Report:-. One great and encouraging feature of the year's work has been the addition to the working staff of a volunteer Lay Helper and a Scriptura Reader both bolding licences from the Bishop.
The Chaplain has had a furlough in England for 7 months, and during his absence the Ser- vices and Meetings have been carried on as usual.
The Bishop most kindly undertook the major part of the Sunday Services at St. Peter's, ably assisted by Mr. Tara as volunteer Lay Helper. The Weekly Meetings and Services were also regularly continued under Mr. Tarn's supervision, and the Chaplain desires here to record his warmest thanks to the Bishop and Mr. Tarn, and also to those friends who assisted them só constantly.
The Tuesday Entertainments and Friday Meetings have been as well supported as ever by kind lady and gentlemen helpers.
To each and all these good helpers, best thanks
are accorded.
The visiting lu the barbour and at the Sailor's Home and Boarding Houses has been ably and diligently carried out by Mr. Edward Makebar, the Scripture Reader. The Missions to Seamen Society in London have (owing to the generosity of private friends at home) enrolled Mr. Makeham as one of their Agents. The work has already been greatly benefited by Mr. Makebame
