more than three millions of gallons are made in the
seven months of the year in which that kind of beer
can be manufactured. The causes of the enormous
increase of this particular German beverage are
thus enumerated? "First, the immense German
immigration in recent years producing a demand
for it, and the demand of course creating the
supply. Secondly, the • gradual spread of the
rational principles of voluntary temperance.
Thirdly, the failure of the grape in the wine countries
of Europe for several years, and' the consequent
high price and deteriorated quality of wine and
brandy, have driven many men to drink lager beer
instead of their accustomed beverages." But as well
as these causes, the beer is so good, and is so whole-
some and refreshing a drink, especially in the
intensely hot summers of this country, that it has
got into high favour with all classes.

The fund for the purchase of Washington's house
and grounds of Mount Vernon, on the banks of the
Potomac, in Virginia, is getting near the mark. It
appears that out of $200,000 purchase money, only
about $30,000 now remain to be paid. Independently,
however, of the sum requisite for its proper main-
tenance and safe guardianship, it was ascertained
from reliable sources that it will require about
$20,000 to restore the grounds and make the repairs
necessary to arrest the rapid decay now going on.
The fund is not, therefore, to be closed, it is stated,
until' a sufficient sum has been secured to cancel the
instalment, and to meet the responsibilities assumed
as soon as the purchase is concluded.

I Nearly a quarter of. a century
England States had their " Trade Sales" regularly
every year,—sales, that is, of the native produce and
manufactures. At these sales, the variety of goods
offered was very great, comprising almost every kind
of article manufactured in New England, as well as
a large amount of raw material. Sales of wool were
made and upon Xavourable terms. It is recorded' of
the last of those Sales, that on the first day three
thousand packages of•cotton and woollen goods were
offered and all sold, the sale being generally.regarded
as a favourable one, and the prices better than had
been obtained for similar goods elsewhere. Large
sales of boots and shoes and of furniture were also
made with satisfactory results. These periodical
Trade Sales are now to be revived, and it is thought
they will be more successful than ever. For it is
argued, that " buyers will never purchase of flictors
in preference to buying of the original manufac-
turers, if the latter make any reasonable effort to
offer equal facilities." New York is now the great
mart for most of the New England products, and
Boston,' the New England metropolis, thinks she
ought to be.
