"During the past winter, Mr.. Z C. Kellogg

proper partitions, in his cellar, and put some
sand, gravel and stones in the bottom lie
then procured two trout, q male and female,
and went through the process which has
proved successful in France, Of pressing tho
spawn from the female, and placing IL in his
box. lie then filed the box with Connecticut

stantly running through it This was about
seven weeks ago. He has now seventeen fne,

TH. cOAcHxAs wno MARRIED v,,Rx,,o,

TBs CoAcHNAS WHO MARRIED HIS Erpto,.
RR's DAUeHTER.-The New York Tiu., a,
Saturday has the following in relation 20 n.
late secret marriage between the daughter O.
Mr.. Boxer, wealthy merchant Of that CITY.
and bis coachman:
Young Dean, the lucky ooachman, has final
ly agreed to give up his wife for time, and
accept the pecunisry offers Of her friends.
Yesterday his counsel received letter from
Mr.. Boxers lawyer proposing that Dean
should 60 into business in one Of the Western
cities-capital being provided BY Mr.. Boxer
ana that he should consent to be separated
from his wife for the period of six months,
correspondence between them being allowed
curing that time. Dean Is willing 70 accept
the proposition, and thus the subject Is dispos-
ed of for the present, at least.
The Rev. Mr. Hatfield, who performed tie
marriage ceremony, describes Mr. Dean az of
PrepoSsessing appearances, gentlemanly sd-
uIess, ana with nothing about him to show
that he was Of Irish origin but the slightest
possible brOgue. Mr. Dean called at his house
on Tuesday, the Path Of last February. and
inquired If Mr Hatfield would, on the follow
ing Saturday, tie the marriage knot for him
Mr.. ID aSsented. On Saturday Mr.. Dean pre-
sented himself and said his intended bride.
who was engaged as servant in a gentleman's
.eAhJ Siveo oyS udu Ueeu uudOle 10 perfect
her arrangements, and it was necessary to
postpone the marriage until the ensuing Tues
day To this Mr. H. agreed, appointing the
time Of day for the bridal party to call. Tues
day came and the minister held himself in
readiness to perform the ceremony, bat be
waited and they did not appear. Toward eve
ming, however, Deans friend came to the
house, and told the servant that owing to the
storm of the preceding day, the young lady
bad been unable to finish up her household
duties, and as she wanted to remain in her
place sometime longer she did net wish her
marriage known, but they would come the
ne 1t day.
Wednesday morning came the couple also.
and their two witnesses with them. Miss Bo-
ker was dressed as became her assumed sta
tion, not IN silk anc hoops, nor sparkling with
diamonds. Mr.. Dean was neatly attired and
acted like well-bred gentleman. As the day
was muddy, and Mr.. HIS parlors had but late
IL been furnished with q new carpet, it was
deemed prudent that the ceremony should be
performed in the basement, which was a coIy
enough place. and the marriage took place
At its conclusion Dean took from his purse
roll of bills, from which detaching a v, be
delicately passed it over politely, inquiring If
that would satisfy the clergyman Mr. h
bowed an affirmative, and the happy party
left, Mr.. ii remarking to his wife that the
lady had the best OF that bargain. He thought
no more Of the matter till bis attention was
called to it on Tuesday last from the statement
in the papers, when be found that, insteag, as
be had supposed, of making a poor ssrvant
girl happy, be tad probably made b wealthy
family miserable.

amounted TO the large sum Of one hundred and eight
thousand, one hundred and ifty-one dollars, with
only fortysix hundred and sixty-siI dollars losses
reported.
With these evidences Of success and good man
agement, the directors feel justified in soliciting
share Of public patronage, believing that the secu

RESPIRATORY SURFACE OF TIE LUNss-
The number Of air cells in the human lungs
amount to no less than six hundred millions.
According to DR.. Hsles, the diameter Of each
of these may be reckOned at the one hundreth
of an inch; while, according to the more re-
cent researches ofProf Weber, the dismeters
vary between the SEVENTEEN and two hundreih
of an inch Now estimating the internal suI-
face of a single cell as about equal 20 thar nf
q hollow globule Of eternal diameter, then by
adopting the measurement of Hales, We hnu
that six hundred million such cells would pos
sess, collectively, q surface Of no less than one
hundred and forty-fve square yards; but by
bssing our calculations on the opinions, re-
member, which the scientific word receives as
facts, VIC arrive at the still more astounding
conclusion, that the human lungs possess up
wards of one hundred and sixty six square
yards Of respiratory surface, every single
point of which is in constant and immediate
contact with the atmosphere inspired. Ii
will be useful, then, to imprint on the memory
that, whether we breathe pure or putrid air,
the air inspired is ever in immediate contact
with an extent of vital surface ample enough
for the erection of two or three large houses.

I A work published at Macao, Chins,
gives the following information for the benefit
of tea drinkers On arriving at my quar-
tiers, I thought that a cup of young Tyson
would prove refreshing, feeling certain that,
in this at least, should meet with nothing 10
surprise NE, imagine my astonishment when
I observed that the /" favorite leaf the China
man was about to infuse looked quite differ
ent to any had ever seen, it being, in color,
q dull olive, having none Of the usual bloom
on its surface. L remarked on its appearance,
when my attendant quietly said that they
never used painted tea in China, bat as the
foreigners pay better price for it when the
leaves are made Of one uniform color, they OF
course had no objection TO cover them with
powders. On drinking the infusion made from
the pure leaf, at once determined TO become
a convert to this fashion, leaving the other
Chinese customs for future consideration
