Hon. Edward Kent, our late Governor,
we learn, lectured on Friday evening last,
before the Bangor Mechanic Association
TO large and brilliant audiance on the
history ofthe Northeastern boundary. He
commenced with the history, prior to the
revolution, and followed it down to the
present time, in skilful and mastery man.
ner. A gentleman who was present spoke
of the lecture in the highest terms. One
of GreenleaPs large maps was suspended
in the room and the lecturers perfect
familiarity with the subject enabled HIM to
impress upon the mind of the hearer the
exact bearing and application Of each fact.
Nothing occurred during the lecture to
wound the feelings of his hottest opponents,
but all we're favorably impressed with his
acquaintance with the subject, and more
than ever satisfied with the justice Of our
claim. The old boundaries of Canada and
the northwest angle Novascotia, it was
shown, were well kown long prior, and at
the time Of making the treaty. British
diplomacy, too, which is but another name
for gentee impudencc and fine cloth jock
eyng, was shown up in its true light.
1t affords us great pleasure TO mention
the fact that NJ Kent, amidst his constant
duties, can find time and possesses the tai"
en-. and industry to lecture on SO important
and interesting a subject before an Assoc
ia,ion of Mechanics This is the right
spirit, and tends to break down the wall OF
prejudice that has too long existed among
different classes. May the time soon come
when all can meet on the isrel and part OH

EARI.X PEAS.

lfyoa desire early peas, reader, let us
advise you not to plant the little hots-purs
variety. OF this You may perhaps, Obtain
mess a few days earlier than of the Early
Washington variety; but it is but a'mesS
one. or at the furtherest two stlnted
gatherings, and there is all the reward you
get for your labor ard pains. Better raise
what is worth gathering whilst you are
about il, even if you have TO suffer the
modification Of having your no'ghbnur
boast Of eating green peas five or six days
earlier than You The EARLY WashingIons
are nearly as carly rs The Hots-purs, and
when they are ready for gathering, there is
something Of them; the.pods are larger, and
and the peas in themare more luscious.
Besides, they will continue to bear for two
or three weeks before the vines die.
On .he icct Of Peas, suffer us 10 say
a word in recommendation of the Dwarf
Scimetsr peas These are not very early
nor arc they late; but yield more adun-
dainty than any ether sori we have ever
cultivated, and they are decidedly the rich
est peas grown They are superior to the
Marrowfit, and yield three times as much.
Ordinarily, they grow but abou; three feet
in height, and the pods is formed, ,curious'y,
in thick clusters at the top of the vines,
and are gathered with great ease
For two years past, We lave gathered
quan,ies of these peas, when green and
tender, at the right age for boiling, shellcd
them, and spread them out in the shade TO
dry---strring them occasionally. In TIC
following winter we have caused them to
be soaked till they sweled up to their SUM
NOR size. and then had them cooked as
usual. Thus we have green peas IN lciater,
about as tender and luscious as you can
have them from the vines on the 4th Of July,
The luxury is worth the pains.
