4 GOOSE NINETY-THREE YEARS OLD
Mr.. Everett, farmer of Kirby Lodge, near
Rockingham, has q goose which he youch-
es TO be at least ninety three years old.
1t has been on his farm full thirty years,
and passed the former part Of its life on
the farm adjoining. Ii is a large, fine
fowl, with head and neck as white as
snow, and has lately Matched brood Of
goSlinSs from its own eggs. Mr.. E. has
= book stating its age and history, which
he can authenticate. five We're to pluck
quill from this antiquated goose and
write its biography, it might not be an
undressing record The echoes of the
Scotch rebellion had scarcely ceased
when 1t first peeped from beneath its
hell into the wide world, and possibly
rs immediate ancestor smoked at the
festive board at the coronation Of the
third George. 1t cackled at the Gorgon
riots, and Kissed when Wilkes was made
Z State prisoner. 1t was Matching with
The first French revolution, and screamed
when Napoleon lie Grand threatened to
invade our shores, and also when Castle
reagh was made prime minister. Like
many other bipeds, it has brooded over
scores OF added eggs, and grown no
wiser from experience but though year
after year has flown by, they leave the
eddy goose still. "-Leieestsr England

THE CLOTHING BUSINESS IN BOsTON.
The Boston Atlas states that the clothing
business Of Boston amounts to sl2 or
100000 annually. There are four
houses which give employment, directly
or indirectly, to about five thousand per-
sons each, scattered throughout the New
England States, in most of which they
have agencies. The garments are made
principally in families, by the daughters
Of farmers ard mechanics, who have lei
sure time upon their hands, and who
spend it in making these goods; and in
this way they are enabled to obtain many
articles Of dress, and indulge in many
Injuries which they might not otherwise
enjoy. There are about thirty merchants
in Boston who prepare clothing express
Iy for the wholesale trade, doing busi-
ness Of from 100000 to 81 900, 600 an
nually, and having a stock on hand Of
from $4,000 to 100000. Several Of
the largest dealers prepare their goods
expressly for the Western market.
