!. W1Dows IN BARNsTABLE ,CouNTY.--Mr
Hayward, in his excellent New England
Gazetteer, says that the ladies Of Barnsta-
bic, are peculiarly subject to the vicissi-
tudes pertaining to maritime situation.
It has been acertained that there are near
one thousand widows living in that Coun-
ty, whose husbands have persisted at sea.
Of this large number, 223, or almost one
quarter of the whole, are residents Of the
towns of Harwich and Wellfieet. Speak
ling of the Barnstable ladies', Mr.. Hay
ward says they ''are celebrated for their
fair compilations, and good housewife
ry. Our acquaintance with the 'sCape"
ladies is not so extensive as perhaps it
might be with advantage to ourself, but
as far as it extends. we fear not to en-
)dorse Mr.. Hayward's statement, and to
add, that. for amiability and intelligence,
the fairer portion of the natives of Barn
stable are not surpassed by those of any
other County in the Commonwealth
Post.
The London Literary Gazette states
that some successful experiments have
been made in the application of the new
principle f'.Solar delineations'' or ''Pho-
togenic drawing" which appear to be of
considerable importance. 1t seems that
by covering glass with etching ground
and smoke, designs may be sketched up
on it,-and through the glass thus expos
ed by the scratches, the photogenic paper
receives the light, and the design, which
the sun may be said to print, may be
multiplied with perfect identity forever.
Designs thus multiplied, says the editor,
will probably become much more COM
mon, and even more generally applicable
than TYPOGRAPHY, because all the means
are more readily accessible, while it will
receive its rank as an art, and be excellent
in proportion to its skill of the artist as a
draughtsman, with the etching needle.
An epidemic has broken out most vir-
ulently on the eastern shore of Maryland,
in Kent county its effects are most singu.
lar and are thus noticed in the Bugle:
care you gardening! says one. No;

your potatoes in the ground? asks another.
No; am planting morus multicaulis!!--.
Have you any lettuce plants? queries a
third. No; plant the morus multicau-
lis!!! Have you seeded oats? ask fourth.
No, am planting morus multicaulis!!!
Are you ready to plan. corn? inquiries a
fifth. Not quite; but I shall be when I
have planted my morus multicaulis!!!!!
1t is said that an old lady actually sold
her silver spectacles and antique snuff
box to pay for share Of morus multicua-

The principal difference between the
new story Of "Here she goes-there she
goes, is that the latter is amplified to i
greater extent, and its hero is the landlord
OF tavern near New York, who laid /
wager Of 500, with two wags, that he
would point at an old clock, and, every
motion Of the pendulum, move his arm,
right and left, and repeat the words ..here
she goes--there she goes" for an hour,
without suffering himself to be interrupt
ed. He accomplished the feat, but in
the mean time the wags had run off with
his pocket book, containing nearly two
hundred dollars, which they subsequent.
ly restored on being released from their
wager.-Bos. Transcript.

SINGULAR WAY OF AVOIDING A DUEL -
M. B., a young fashionable of considera-
bic wealth, being one evening where play
ran high, one of his comrades, the Count
de, who had not high reputation
for paying his debts, became reduced to
hiselast Napoleon, and borrowed of M. B.
two thousand francs, promising to return
them next morning by his groom. Some
time, however, passed without the mon
.ey or the groom appearing. NJ. B. called
upon his debtor, who always happened to
be out, and was for some time lost sight
of, when last Sunday night M. B. acct
dentally met the Count at the Bureau DIES
Supplements, in the lobby of the Theatre
de Renaissance, just as the latter had laid
down a five franc piece to obtain better
place in the theatre, which M. B. instant
ly snatched up, saying, CHOW sir, our
account stands l,995fr. instead of 2O00fr.' =
Next morning M. B. was reused by the
Count entering with two friends, and APP
paratus for duel, which M. B. observed
would not be fair, as they were not upon
equal terms, for if he fell he should lose
his life and his money too. Upon this,
one of the Counts friends fetched the
money instanter, when M. B. being paid,
said he now considered the Couut man
of honor, and there was nothing to Eight
about; and as the Court Of Cessation had
decided that seconds must be dealt with
as principals, he could not think OF bring
ing two Of his friends into such predica-
ment. Accordingly the affair ended with
a dejeualt.

q The Lady Of the first Governor Of YER
nont--an authentic Anecdofe.-Thomas
Chrittenden, the first Governor of YER
mont, who was plain farmer alike re-
markabie for strong native powers Of mind,
and the republican simplicity with which
he conducted every thing in his public
duties, and in his domestic establishment
was once visited by party of travelling
fashionables from one of our cities
When the hour of dinner arrived, Mrs
Chrittenden, to the establishment Of guests,
went out and blew tin horn for the
wo-kmen, who soon arrived when to the
still greater surprise, and even horror Of
these fair cts, the whole company, Gov,
! his lady guests, workmen. and all, were
invited to sit down to the substantial meal
which had been provided for the occasion.
After the dinner was over and the ladies'
were left by themselves, one OF the guests
thought she would gently take Mrs Chit
tepden to task for this monstrous violation
/ of the rules Of city gentility, to which she
had been as she thought. 50 uncourteous-
" made 4 victim.
.sYou do no not generally sit down to
the same table with your workmen l sup
pose, Mrs Chrihenden?' = she commenced.
..Why,' replied the Governors lady,
Whose quick witinstantly appreciated the q,
ffdrift Of the other, .swhy' am almost
ashamed to say we generally have, but
intend soon to amend in this particular.
i was telling the Governor this very
morning, that it was an absolute shame
that lille workmen who do ali the labor,
should fare no better than we, who SIT SO
much.fof the time in the house earning
little or nothing, and 1 am determined
hereafter to set two tables-the first ano
Ibest for the workmen, and the last and
poorest for the Governor and myself. -

u SUGAR. The island Of Sicily, says a
writer on the subject, was the first spot
upon which the sugar cane i Known lns to
have been planted in Europe, though It is
altogether: likely that it was planted by
the Moora full as early, if not earlier, in
Spain and Portugal. The island was con-
quered BY the Saracens in the early part
Of the ninth century, and was retaken ny
the Nolnlans at the close of the eleventh.
Immediately after that event we find that
large quantities Of sugar were made there.
