A Calculating Bridegroom.

I've known some very mean men in my time. There
was Deacon Overreach now, he was mean, he al
ways carried hen in his gigbox when he travelled
to pick up the oats his horse wasted in the manger
and lay egg for his breakfast in the morning
And then there was Hugo Zimmerman, who made
his wife dig potatoes to pay for the marriage license
must tell you that story of Hugo, for it's not bad
one: and good Stories like potatoes, amt plenty
as they used to be when was a boy. Hugo is a
neighbor of mine, though considerably older than
be, and mean neighbor he is, too, WE'LL. when he
was going to get married at Gretchen Kolp, he goes
down to Parson Rogers, at Digby, to get license.
Parson:" says he, what's the price ola license !'
g Six dollars" said he.
Six dollars o. says Hugo that's dreadful sight
of money! Couldn't you take no less ?"
NO." says he, that's what they cost me to the
Secretarys Office at Halifax"
"Well, how much do you ak for publishing in
church, then o.
Nothing" says the parson.
"Well," says Hugo, that's SO cheap can't ex-
pect you to give me no change back. think I'll be
published. How long does it take o.
Three Sundays"
"Three Sundays' says Hugo; "well, that's a
fortnight after all two for the and one fol-
the inside like; and six dollars is great sum of mo-
ney for poor man to throw away. I must wait"
SO OF ne went a1jogging towards home, and a.
looking about as mean new-sheared sheep wher
all at once bright thought came into his head, and
back he went as hard as his horse could carry him.
"Parson" says he, GIVE changed my mind. Here'
the six dollars. I'll tie the knot tonight with my
tongue, that l can't undo with my teeth
Why what in natur is the meaning of all this g
says the parson.
why" says Hugo, ave been cypheringit ou
in my head, and it's cheaper than publishing bans
after all. You see, sir, it's potato-diging time
wait to be called in church, her father will hav'
her work for nothing; and, as hands are ant
wages big if marry her tonight, she begin t.
dig our own tomorrow and that will pay for the Ii
cense and just seven shillings for there ain;
man in all Clements that can dig and carry a
many bushels in a day as Gretchen can. And be
sides fresh wives like fresh servants, work like smok
at first, but they get sarcy and lazay after WHILE

The last Patent Office report contains meteorolo-
gical tables and statistics, by which we learn the
mean annual depth of rain at various places in the
United States, as we'll as the mean annual tenl-
perature. The greatest depth of rain falls at Fort
Fort Monroe, Va where it is $3.50 inches the least
at the St. Louis Arsenal Mo-. where it is "a II inch
eS less than half. At Fort Hamilton, N. Y,
the depth is 45.71 and, at West Point, 1870. As
a general rule the least rain falls in the Western
States and the most on the Atlantic sea-coas and
on the Eastern side of mountain ranges At New
Orleans, however and other points the Gulf of
Mexico, the fall is heavy-t being 81 IS at New Or
leans. The fall at Boston and Baltimore is about
equal-being &c. at the former place, and 5000
at the latter. Through Michigan and Missouri it
ranges at about 5000; but: as go more South it
rises; and in Arkansas, averages $500. At Fort
Constitution, N. H., the depth is 2885-the lowest
on the Atlantic sea-board. At Key West, Fa, the
fall is comparatively slight, also-beng but 81 40
At Charleston, S. c., it is 33 80. At Washington,
D. c., 3452 and, from that place, it steadily in
creases as it goes North, till it reaches West Point
where it begins to decline.
The mean annual heat of the cities of the United
States exhibits somewhat different results. The
most southern parts of course are the hottest the
seaports in the latitude cooler than inland
towns. The hottest city appears to be Jackson
Mississippi where the average temperature is IS 81

The Interior Of africa. Becroft, daring and
intelligent English voyager has years ago dssipated
the deuson, that the interior of Africa is desert
waste" He has shown that it is accessible to navi-
CATION and trade; that the climate is as healthy az
that of the tropics generally that there are regions
of beautiful and fertile country, afordng opportuni
ties for legitimate commerce of indefinite extension
This adventurous traveller explored the river Niger
within forty miles Of Timbuctoo He has thrown
light on thousands Of miles oftichy fertile and wood
ed country ,watered by that great stream and upon
the worry vegetable taow, peppers, indigo, cotton,
wool, palm oil, dye woods, timber woods, skins and
great variesy Of produce, which invite the trade.
TO carry on shis trade in the vessels which navigate
the river, it is necessary TO have black crews The
London Spectator remarks ssOf course the free
blacks, educated in the West India trade will be-
come usefu! worxmen in penetrating the native land
of their race. We must depend, at least for gener
atoms to come, the black race to supply the bulk
of the crews" For eur own part, we do not see
why our own country should not compete with Brit
ain for the rich trade of Africa.

The Fugitive Slave BIN!

A mass meeting of the citizens of Ashburnham, was
convened in the Town Hall, on Monday evening" Oct.
9TH, to express the Judgment of MEN upon this
infamous bill. William P. Ellis was appointed Chair
man, and Francis A. Whitney, Secretary The bill
was read by the Secretary 1t was then commented on
by o. o. Parker, Esq, Elnathan Davis, Rev. A. A.
Whitemore, and Jonathan L. Estey, Doct j. Pots
Gilman Jones, Enoch Whitemore, Francis j. Barrett,
and others, men of all parties and in terms of
condemnation. The hour being late the meeting adj
journed to the next evening.
Pursuant TO adjournment, larger meeting still as
sembled IN the same place on Tuesday evening After
cain, but full and deep denunciation of the bill, the
following sentiment was unanimously adopted bv the
meeting:
The fugitive SlaVe BWi-inhuman-mc and

PAwTUcKET BANK. The Providence Post saws
that 'the cashier had loaned the credit of the bank in
the form of checks other banks payable on time, to
very large amount variously stated at from $3.50
to $4,000, to single individual, and that there was
other indebtedness with entirely insufficient security, to
the amount of $4,000 Such was the panic, that the
bills in some cases sold at great discount We
are credlby informed, however, that the individual for
whose benefit the credit of the bank has been so fraud
uleny extended will once secure the bank AGAINST
loss, and from present Indications there is little reason
to doubt that the bills will all be redeemed; and from
information we have been at pains to obtain, we
would recommend to bill holders not to sacrifice on
| them"
