Foreign Demand for Grain. — On examin- 

 ing oar files of English papers, we see no rea- 

 son to doubt that the crop of wheat on the Conti- 

 nent is short ; and that the failure of the potato 

 crop, in Ireland, is greater this season than last. 

 If this be the conditson of things in Europe, both 

 wheat and corn must command unusual prices in 

 this country, until after the ne.xt harvest. Nev- 

 ertheless, it is always unsafe to hold on for the 

 last stage of the market, in any season. 



MicHKJAN Sub-soil Plow. — We have used 

 one of these implements, had of Mr. Alva Jef- 

 EERSON of Darien, Genesee Co., in this State, 

 and like it. The plow we have is not wooded 

 precisely as it should be — a defect that can easi- 

 ly be remedied. These plows are on sale at the 

 Seed and Agricultural Itnplement Store of Messn.

A Geological Phenomenon. — The Worces- 

 ter Spy records the following singular occurrence: 

 A pond of fifty acres in West Springfield has re- 

 cently undergone a change, from a pure and 

 transparent color, to that of a dirty yellow hue. 

 By the application of muriatic acid, the coloring 

 matter rises to the top, with a slight scum. It is 

 stated that no fish liave been caught in it since 

 the change of apprearance, though there were a 

 plenty before that time. It is supposed that some 

 gaseous spring has burst forth into it. N. B. 

 This change took place previous to the late earth- 

 quake, though by some supposed to have heralded 

 its approach.
