A SAW-MILL In Gardiner, Me., tho proprietors 
of which were compelled last yenr to hire teams 
to cart off the sawdust made, has received this 
year &W0 from the ice companies for all tho dust 
made. 
The number of arrivals at Bangor, Me., last 
season was 2,132. The most important articles of 
export were potatoes, of which 150,000 bushels 
were chipped, .000.000 orange and lemon box 
shocks, and 5,500,000 bricks. 
C. 0. Loomis, of New Haven, Ct„ owns what 
is probably tho oldest piano in America. The 
case is four and a quarter feet wide, and on it is 
1 his inscription:—“Gnbrlol Uumabarl utZuimps, 
London!, Secerum, 1780. Prince street, Hanover 
Square.” 
Nor long since an enginoor on tho Providence, 
HarttoWl aud F8hkill road discovered a stop¬ 
page in ( tie water pipe of his locomotive, aud 
put In his linger, when he immediately got a 
bite. With tho aid of a hook ho finally fished 
out an cel measuring fourteen nnd a half inches, 
which had passed from tho water pipes into the 
tender. 
A lawyer in Bangor, Mo., who wanted to get 
Ills Christmas turkey cheap, selected a fitio look¬ 
ing one and inquired of the gentleman from the 
rural districts if it was young, and being an¬ 
swered in the affirmative, asked him if ho would 
take his oath of it. Nothing loth, the poulterer 
assented and the oath was administered by the 
sprig of the law, who then demanded a dollar 
as his fee. 
A xr.wLv married couple at Man ton, it. 1., 
who r fused to treat u party of serenmlCrs, u 
few days since, wore canuonaded from ten 
o’clock until midnight. The bombarding was 
hom'd in Providence, two miles away, and 
created considerable excitement. Tho couple 
did not give in, aud peacefully resumed their 
slumbers after the enemy's powder was ex¬ 
hausted. 
A young man and his intended bride present¬ 
ed themselves before the City Clerk ol’ Daven¬ 
port, Iowa, tho other day for a marriage license. 
It was found that, the intending bridegroom waft 
under ago, and had ne.it her parents nor guardian. 
In order to make the proceedings regular, the 
lady suggested that she herself should be ap- 
poinlcd guardian. As she was over eighteen, she 
was eligible, was duly appointed as guardian, 
and then gave her consent that her ward should 
marry herself. 
A quf.f.r ease Is now coming off before tho 
Kingston (N. Y.) Courts. A lady who aided an¬ 
other lady In securing a husband worth §10,000, 
sues the now married lady for $3,000, the amount 
she ngroed to pay the former in case a M match " 
was made. The complainant got up parties, pic¬ 
nics, moonlight meeting’s, rowing on the placid 
bosom of the noble Hudson, etc., etc., and be¬ 
fore hr know it Ihe poor fellow was done for and 
the knot tied, when the newly married lady re¬ 
fused to keep her promise. Young lawyers from 
Kingston and Saugorties are employod on either 
side. 
Young men at college will appreciate Heine’s 
witty remark that “The Romans would never 
have found time to conquer the world it' they 
had been first obliged to learn Latin. This hap¬ 
py people,” said ho, “ knew in their very cradles 
what nouns have an accusative in ini.’' 
Heine shared the general dislike of the natives 
of the Continent toward the English, whose ex¬ 
clusiveness and insolence he had suffered from 
in Germany. When he at last visited England, 
he told the verger of Westminster Abbey, as Vie 
handed him his fee, that he would willingly have 
given him more if the collection had been com¬ 
plete.

In the fall of 1S68 I offered $500 in four •premiums to parties who should raise 
the four largest quantities of ‘‘Early Rose” Potatoes, (in 1809,) from one peck of seed. 
This amount was divided as follows: — For 1st or largest yield, $300; 2d, $150; 3tf, 
$100 ; 4th, $50. It was required that each competitor should send me a full report 
of the mode of cutting seed, planting, manuring, cultivation, Ac. At the urgent request 
of a large number of my customers, I have published in this book the most worthy 
of these reports, and added Engravings and Descriptions of neic varieties, and a num¬ 
ber of choice extracts from the Agricultural Press in relation to Potato Growing. I also 
made arrangements with IIenry Ward Beecher to write the Essay on The Potato 
Mania which appears in its pages, and which alone is worth several times the cost 
of the book. Liberal inducements offered to Agents. Send for wholesale price. Sent to 
any address, postage paid , on receipt of
