BIOGRA PHICAL.


We are sure that anecdotes of our early
distinguished citizens cannot fail to be ac-
ceptable 10 our readers, and we therefore
venture to publish letter relating to Maine
and some of her lawyers, who have, long
since, passed from the scene of earthly tri-
ais 10 higher tribunal. If our readers are
as much interested in these recitals as our
selves, we cannot furnish them with any
thing halfso pleasant as one or two of these
letters.
William Gushing, frstta Judge of the
Supreme Court, under the. monarchy, af-
terwards Chief Justice of Massachusetts,
and finally Judge of the Supreme Court
of the U. S. commenced the practice of
law in the ancient town of Pownalborongh,
which at tha, time comprehended the towns
Of Dresden and Wiscasset. He was trans
lated to the bench during his practice as
lawyer in PownaIborough. He resided in
the family of his brother Charles, who was
then Sheriff Of the county of Lincoln, and
afterwards Clerk of the Supreme Court
for Ga time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary" His BROTH
er's house was near the old Court House,
now remaining in Dresden-and at the time
the late Judge Gushing commenced his
practice, there ,rns no house upon the Ken
nebec raUer (except The block-houses or forts)
above 'sh0t ,oas then called the Nantucket
Wharf, which was about two miles above
the old Court House. Families resided in
the block house at Fort Western, now Au-
gusta, and Fort Halifax, now Winslow or
Waterford. The whole world of the Ken
nebec country was then, (what | heard

were only five lawyers in Maine. that is, in

There is TACT as to Governor Sullivan,
that you may not know. He commenced
his practice in Georgetown and on the ISL

how long he resided there l do not know.
1t was long however before he moved to

how he came to thiuk of settling in George

New ALLoYs OF METALs.-A curious

in the alloy of metals. A manufacturer Of

oxidable than silver, and which will not
melt at less than heat treble that which
silver will; the cost of it is less than 4d.

steel. An Englishman at Brussels has dis
covered mode of casting iron SO that il

most equal to that which has undergone
the process of beating. The cost Of this
steel is only farthing per pound greater
than that of cast iron. Mining Journal.

FRIENDS. This is n anne in which there
is much meaning involved. How much for
sober reflection is contained in this one
word--Jfrfend. Without friends our life
would be one continued scene of misery.
We should pass along through this world
with none to assist or comfort US in trouble
or participate with US in our pleasures
The world with all its beauties spread be-
fore us, would look dark and dreary and
desolate, unless we are provided with some
kind friend in whom we can place unlimited
confidence, and to whom we can commu-.
nicate the pleasure and happiness we feel
in viewing and admiring its varied beau.
ties. How thankful then should we be that
we are blessed with friends who are near
and dear to us-who will cheer and ami.
mate us when in sickness or trouble, and
who, when the stream of life flows along
gently and smoothly, will add another to
the many charms which are spread :around
us 10y kind and indulgent parent.

Sickness al the South. In several places

AGRICULTURAL.

Planting Garden Seeds in the FdH.-
Two years ago, after taking the vegetables
from our garden. we Immediately prepared
the beds and sowed onions, parsnips, car
rots, lettuce, beets, cabbage, &c. on the
fourteenth of October. They were cover
ed with rye straw, aud litter, and manure
from the barn yard thrown over them to
the depth Of four or five inches. In the
spring, as soon as the lros, was out, this
was removed, and we found that in conse-
quence of the straw not being well ihresh-
ed, much rye had dropped upon the ground
and had taken root, in eXtricating which we
rooted aud destroyed large portion Of our
young plants, which had already started
and were doing well. What did grow,
however, did well, and were large enough
to use number of days sooner than those
planted as eaily as the weather would per-
nit. Plants from the cabbage seed sown
in the fall were much more thrifty and pro-
duced larger heads than those Of the same
variety sown in the spring We name this
as the result Of a single experiment, and
as we are in no situation to repeat it this
year, we should like TO have some of our
friends try it and let US know the result.

The Six business. Much good, we
think; will result to the country from the
preparations for raising silk Our climate
is peculiarly congena TO the insect that
produces 1t. The women, children, and
infrm persons scattered among our popu-
lation, from whose labors little or nothing
is realized, are competent to supply twenty
millions of dollars value in silk per annum,
instead of which we have imported in a
single year more than that amount-a sum
double the value of the whole exported
products of the United States for the same
period, from all our boasted fisheries, with
all the exports from our forests, of skins
and furS, lumber, masts. and all our manu-
pitch, iurpentine, pot and pearl ashes, &c.,
and also from our almost innumerabe farms,
all our exported beef, tallow, hides and
cattle, butter, cheese, pork, bacon, horses,
mules, sheep, &C., with our entire exports
Of wheat, corn, and -four superadded The
whole catalogue of this formidable portion
Of a nations hard earnings for foreign ex-
portation, did not in 1886 equal twelve
millions of dollars, while the imports of
silks the same year, exceeded twenty mil
lions of dollars; and by including silk and
worsted goods, of which silk constituted an
important part, they amounted to over twen-
ty-three millions five hundred thousand
dollars. This alarming statement, the C.
port from the treasury department will fully
verify. Is it not high time that silk should
command our attention.
