, CUP M. Maillefert has just returned to Buffalo, 
from the wreck of the Atlantic, having made a 
, second attempt to reach the sunken vessel. The 
effort was successful—the steamer being reached 
by John Green, the diver. Nothing, however was 
done, in consequence of thesmallness of the steam- 
: er used, and the roughness of the water. The di¬ 
ver descended below the deck of the Atlantic as 
far as the guards—being upwards of 144 feet from 
the suiface. He experienced no difficulty, and 
the pipes were found to work well. A large 
steamer will repair instantly to the spot. 
’lhe Brattle-boro Eagle states that in Wes¬ 
ton, Andover and Londonderry, Vt., the crop of 
grass and grain is so light that more than 400 
head of cattle have been sold and driven away 
within the last three weeks. Calves have been 
sold at from 67 cents to $1, yearlings from $3 to 
$5, and cows from ^6 to $10. One man sold 18 
yearlings, and a pair of six year old oxen, all in 
good condition, for $110. In many cases payment 
has been received, not in cash, but in pedlers’ 
goods at full prices. 
jpgT* The Hartford Courant, states as a fact, that 
a traveler, not long since, was passing through a 
section of the town of Chester, Mass., where there 
appeared to be quite a settlement, and saw a 
school house with no doors or windows. He en¬ 
quired “if the School Master was abroad,” and 
was informed, by the driver of the stage, that in 
the whole school district of more than two miles 
in extent, there was not a child young enough to 
attend school.
