T., Dec. 30.â€"On Sun- day night William Pearson, a farmer, who is a strong believer in spiritualism, imagined he had received an order front a higher power to kill his infant. This he did with a hammer, and when he had finished the work he showed what he had done to his wife, who is also a Spiritualist. He then said that if she would cut her throat he would do the same. and both were found yesterday half frozen with their throats cut, but not yet dead. Pearson revived sufficL cntly to make a statement to the above effect. The p-tir will probably die. 0-.»»â€"â€" Railways.

From a single grain of wheat planted in 1831. says the Gum Valley (Cal) Record, grew twenty-two stalks, each bearing a full head. These yielded 860 grains, 760 of which were planted the I next year. producing one-fifth of a built- el of splendid wheat.
