"In the winter sloops are almost, useless lor our fishing business, 

 and schootieis, as they are coinmonlj ilgged and modelled, are not, 

 much belter ; so we want to to* the yawl to see lr a boat 80 rigged

M r, \sr i:i;m BUT.— Mean length, however, Is received with derision 

 bj many in America; and one writer, bolder than the rest, pro- 

 nounc li "idiot •<:.•• We need not apply any Indigestible adjectives 

 to this Transatlantic suggestion, as a similar proposal has been made 

 In this country: bin, at anv rale, there will bo no bairn In showing 

 l hat i here Is no more reason tor Including the rounicr in a length 

 measurement than there Is the length or bowsprit. Each is used to 

 extend asail; i>ui the counter, whilst forming a sort of outrigger for 

 tie malnsheet, also provides some extra deck room. The Idea, how- 

 ■ aetlmes prevails thai Hie counter, when ihe boat, is seeled, 

 helps to snpporl the boom, or gives additional power In some way by 

 nddli>g to me silliness of the boat. It is almost needless to say that 

 a counter could not help to support the boom any more than a life 

 buoy on deck could : and If the counter Is made so full and heavy that

volume ol the '• wedge of Immersion, - ' the boat had much better be

This would Be an entirely unknown

 jo gunwale was used on Southampton water and other places ; 

 ere was no objection to this, as, owing to the upright stem and

 Now, however, tor the sake ol small additional comfort, and for

Thk other Sunday evening, down at the 

 village of Greensboro', Md., religious services 

 in the church were greatly disturbed by the 

 persistent, pursuit of a coon by a dog in the 

 immediate vicinity. The colored portion of 

 the congregation was greatly excited, and 

 wben it became evident by the barking of 

 the dog that the coon was in a tight place 

 there was a general exit from the church, 

 • and on the following day one of the colored 

 brethren was smacking his lips over "roast 

 coon and plenty of graby." 



Two wbkkb ago 600 partridges were re- 

 ceived by Mr. Churchman, Secretary of the 

 Delaware Game Association, at Wilmington, 

 Del. They came from Danville, Va., and 

 will he distributed in lots of twelve, six 

 males and six females, among the Delaware 

 farmers. Another lot of 1,000 arrived sub- 

 sequently and will be similarly distributed. 

 It will be some years until the bird again be- 

 comes numerous in Pennsylvania if like 

 efforts are not made to propagate it.
