Longevity. — The Daily Troy Press speaks of a woman 

 in that place, who is now enjoying good health and un- 

 impaire Ifacul is. at the n^eof 102. Last summer »he 

 walked fourteen miles in less than nine hours. She re- 

 counts with accuracy the events of the French war; 

 reads the Dutch Bible without spectacles, rises eatly. 

 dresses herself quickly, talks forcibly and fluently, and 

 is very proud'of recounting her early conquests. She 

 his alw I lab ired hard, and has been accustomed to eat 

 and drink without book — as, we will venture to say, nine 

 out of ten Centenarians always have. 



The Windsor, Vt. Republican of 27th ult states that 

 in tint town alone. $9500 has been paid during the past 

 year, for Western Flour, and that the amount expended 

 for the same article, in Chittenden, the adjoining coun- 

 ty, during ill" sa . ne period, is $100,000. A few years 

 ago Vermont raised a surplus of wheat, for which she 

 found a ready market. It is now the reverse ; and in- 

 telligent men think the amount paid bv our farmers for 

 the article of flour the last year, exceeds what they have 

 received for their wool, by many thousands of dollars. 



Commcnd'Me. — The farmers of the town of Westfield 

 having become dissatisfied with the manner of trading 

 of the merchants there, have had a public meeting in 

 which they made known their grievances, and adopted 

 Kime resolutions, on? of which (the following.) we pre- 

 sume the merchants not only there hut elsewhere would 

 be very glad to see carried into effect, to wit: 



We have Resulted. To square up our merchant debts 

 as soon as possible, and hereafter try to make ready pay 

 for what we buy at the stores, and trade wherever we 

 ■an do it to the best advantage. — Fredotiia Courier.

, slusivi lege of using them in Boston ind i . < . :- 



lv has ; in them in opi ration al South B ston, m 

 firidge. It is well known that rice in its rough state it with 

 its outer bull. on, will keep many years, ami Ui.it after been 

 cleaned, ii is subject (particularly in warm weathi r) to weavil, 

 mid other insects, and is usual!) put in bad casks — in' therefore 

 hopes, by having this article alwa} s in a fresh .stale, in casks of 

 nt sizes, to meet with a ready sale. The mode ol clean- 

 ing being enti d rent from amy other now in use in any 



nther country, the cram is kept quite whole very clean. It 



will be put in casks of usi e, for. export ; also in bar-. 



; .n bags of 100 lbs ch may 



be returned ;] al a ground into tine Flour, in quarter barrels — 

 it will be delivered in any part of the city, for a rpa 



■ . and will not be sold in smaller quantities. Also, the 

 line lb. in. or Flour, so called iii the Southern Sialcs, beii g the 

 inner coat ol' the grain, excellent food for hors es, cows, hogs, 

 sheep and poultry — and the outer Hull, a prime article for 

 packing glass, crockery, bottles and fruit: and is believed will 

 prove valuable in hiakmg Coarse Paper, will be sold at a low 

 price in 1 la .eucs. 



This Knr j.. particularly recommended for whaling ship, 

 and others troing loier \ oyages, as from being highly polished- 

 and free from dust and Hour, and being put into their light iron 

 bound casks, it will he free from any insects, until exposed to 

 air.
