K'kit-and-inoutli disease is again spreading in England. Stringent measures of prevention havo been adopted iu Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and M. (Idlesex, forbidding the holding of tho weakly fair# or the movement of live-stock without license. It is feared the present on i break will prove the most memorable of o pi motion. This disease, though not iHiiully fatal, is highly contagious and belongs to the group of eruptive fevers of which cattle plague, small pox and pig typiioid are the more formidable and 1 destructive member*. When this malady once becomes epizootic, its march is almost irresistible. In the county ot Suffolk alone in one week, 1264 head ot iMlllcj 7jy sheep and 1 67 pigs were reported as attacked. Tim number that died is not stated, but the loss to the fartner consist* not so much in actual death as in great depletion of llesh and loss of milk.

Destruction of Seeded Wheat by A Fungus . One of the most extraordinary cases on record of the non-germlruition ol Winter wheat is reported to have occurred in Europe, A field of this grain, which hail bean sown tho previous Autumn, having manifestly failed, the owner set about plowing the land in the Spring, and to his surpriH* lurti -d up imgerinmnted grains of wheal which wefo us large as horse brans- — say more than half an Inch long. Even after these* great, swollen kernel# had dried they jvere considerably larger than ordinary wheat. *iiice they measured from bffr -third to one half an Inch in Ion; th and two or three-tenths of Hi* inch in breadth. This ubnormal grain was of a grayish-yellow color and was slmj ed something like an elongated penr, the thinner end or neck being sometimes a tenth of ui) inch long. It was easy to Tied olf tlio skin of the grain in spot*. In many ease# a bundle of slender ro« t«, half or three quail or* of nn ineb long, were attached to tho thin end of the grain. Under 'the microscope, it Appeared that life mycelium of a fungus (that i* to #*iy th* | bread -like organ which in to t)ie fungi what the rootlets are to tho ordinary plants) had invaded the grains afid consumed their gluten, starch, and other MUtrfjUvc er.|l-t it m*h t> ; nlid that I ft

'I ■ t I I IV irth j Knowing. | I 1 I 1 % ' • • ;• I I l There is a place in Philadelphia where a strarfger may buy his clothes, and fare as well as if he knew the whole city by heart ; and if he knows nothing- about the value of cloths, or of clothes, he is as well olT, as if he were a good judge of both. The reason is that everything to be found there is made there — made and sold under a system which rarely allows mistakes to occur, and which corrects them, if they i do occur. Oak Hall is the place; and its practice may be ■ t I

| summed up in a few words. If you get there what you i don't want to keep at the .price, yoq return it, *ind.,get ycjur. money back M This ' means a great" deal i more - than i appears on the ' surface. It means that you are not going to get what you will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help If. It means .that the clothes you get there will be of honest cloths, honestly made; and tliat they will cost you less than as good clothes can be got for elsewhere. It means that they will be every way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere for the same money. If it means anything less than these things — if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cutting, sewing, or in any way dishonest or illiberal dealing; the return of his goods will plague the merchant, injure nis credit, and dissipate his trade. If it means these tilings — if it means liberal and honorable dealing, valuable and trusty clothing, ease and safety in setting it, Oak Hall

is the place for you to go to, | or to send to ; and it is wprth your while to know how you j can send, if it is inconvenient ; to go. Write; say what your : occupation is ; say what sort of use you intend to make of the clothes you want, whether for every-day wear or otherwise; what color you prefer, or what | color to avoid ; say about 1 what you want to pay ; say everything that you think may aid a stranger in • choosing for you. You will get in reply samples of cloths and prices of whatever you want made from those cloths. You will get also the means of having your measure taken by an ; unskilful person. There is only one difficulty left. Somebody lias got to take the risks of the I dealing ; for there are risks, i Send your money along with your order. That covers the risk as to your good faith. We risk everyi thing else ; the fit, and your satisfaction every way. Our trade by mail amounts to half a million dollars a year ; there's no reason why it shouldn't amount to five millions. j • .
