THE SWEARING JUsrIoR. - Mr.. Daniel
Henshaw, in his "reminiscences Of New Hamp-
SHIRE mentions the following anecdote of the
Hon lthamar Chase, Of Cornish. n. H., the
father of Gov Chase Of Ohio.
In New Hampshire they used to choose
all their state, county and town officers, from
Governor down TO hog-reeves, at one town
meeting-the annual March meeting. As the
town officers were very numerous. it was Gus
tomary, as fest as they were chosen. to walk
them up before a Justice Of the Peace and
have them sworn into office. by companies,
half companies. by pairs and single. 'Squire
Chase, being the most prominent Justice. had
this task to perform, and a severe task it was,
occupying much Of his time from morning till
night. Ii was on one of these occasions af-
ter the labors and tolls Of the day we're over,
he returned to his home weary and overcome
with the fatgues Of his employment. and.
throwing himself into his easy chair, he fell
into a sound sleep
In the meantime a rustic couple, who had
been waiting impatiently for some time. for
the Justice to join them in wedock, present
ed themselves in another part Of the house
aud made known their interesting desires to
Mrs. Chase who. somewhat confused and ag-

whom she found it difficult to arouse. Shak-
ing him by the shoulder, she called out. Mr.
Chase-Mr Chase, do pray wake up; here is
couple come to be married The Justice,
having administered oaths all day. vas dream
ing of nothing else, half walked. rubbing his
eyes, and looking at the wishful pair. asked,
Are you the couple; They nodded assent
We'll, hold up your hands, They did SO,
with some hesitation. You, scveraly. sol
emnly swear that You will faithfully perform
the duties of your Office, respectively, accord
ing 20 your best skill and judgment, so help
you, &c. The astonished couple looking
wild, the Justice added, soothingly, That $
all, excepting the fee, one dollar, which was
quickly dropped into bis hand, and they were
oil in a tangent, donhting as they went the
legality OF the process; but they concluded

THE STATEN ISLAND MYsTERY.-It will be
recolected that in July last great excitement
was caused on Staten Island by the mysterious
disappearance of Mrs. Brannan, the wife of an
officer of the United States Army, and the
daughter of the late Col. Crane. She was, at
the time, residing with her mother at Chelsea,
Staten Island, and was last seen to leave the
ferry boat at Tompkinsville on the afternoon of
the Goth of July. A large reward was offered
for any information which would lead to her
discovery, and thorough investigation was
made by the police, but no clue was obtained
to the mystery of her disappearance. Since
the examination was dropped by the police the
investigation has been resumed by her husband
and brother, under the direction of ex-chief of
police G. W. Matsell. The New York papers
publish statement of the affair, which has
been made public for the purpose of inviting
any one who may have any information in re-
ference to this case to communicate with the
parties engaged in the investigation. The
Times says there are reasons for believing that
the unfortunate lady was most foully dealt
with, and circumstances point strongly towards
a suspected person as having been involved in
her'mysterious fate.

HUNGARIAN GRAss.-We have already pub
lished some articles in reference to the plant
which is known in some places by this name,
in others by the name of "Honey blade grass"
but which is, in fact, the German Millet or
Pay3cum Germantown of the botanists. By
whatever name it may be known, it appears to
be quite certain, that, in some if not most To-
calities, in suitable soil, it is a most valuable
crop to raise, as well for the fodder it makes as
for the seed or grain Spectators are taking
advantage of this fact, and of the different
names under which it is known, to extort extrav-
agant prices from farmers who want the seed.
1t is put up in packages and advertised by
them at prices which would amount to nine or
ten dollars per bushel 1t is becoming quite
common, and can be raised as cheap as oats,
and the Ohio Cultivator says any quantity of
the seed may be procured by inquiring for it as
German Millet, attwo dollars per bushel. We
noticed an advertisement of it, by Nourse, Ma
son, & Co., at Boston, a short time since. We
do not recoect the exact price, but it did not
exceed three dollars per bushel. We have no
doubt it can be procured here for that price or
