A REMARKABLE MAN.-Mr. Josiah Good
win, whose death occurred recently, at the age
of II, may well be called a remarkable man.
In his youth he was considered the strongest
man in Joppa. Many feats of strength are re-
lated Of him, such as swinging barrel of flour
by each arm, jumping a distance of II feet
and many similar teats of strength. He had
most singular attachment for home. 1t may
be said that he never lost sight of the smoke
that curled from his own chimney. He never
was out Of the county, and but once out of this
town. then he visited training at Boxford, a
distance Of ten miles, which was the greatest
journey he ever undertook. From his resi-
dence to our market is about u mile, but he
seldom came more than once a year, and then
preferred to row his boat up the river rather
than walk. Believing with Peter Prindle,
''Wedlocks a saucy, sad, familiar state,
Where folks very apt to scold and hate"
he never ventured to enter the chains of Hy
men, and lived a life of single blessedness.-
He never had sick day till his last sickness.
He was never heard to utter protane word,
or one unbecoming a gentleman. He never
used intoxicating drinks, or played game of
cards. He never had n case i'll court, and
nvvor in vne, eitlIei juror, vvitnose or
spectator He never rode upon steamboat,
or rail car, and notwithstanding for II years
he lived in the same locality, he was scarcely
known out of his own ward Being consci-
entiousy honest from principle, he was gov
erned in his intercourse with mankind by
motives of justice and purpose to do right
He was strict of integrity, firm in his convic-
tons of truth, and faithful to all trusts com
mitted to his charge. In his social relations,
he was good natured, urbane and kind-gain-
ing, therefore, in connection with just con-
sideration Of his exemplary character in other
respects, the esteem of all with whom he came
in contact. Ienever made apublic profession
of religion, but he lived and died a Christian.

REMARKABLE CRoPs.-Edward Edwards of
South Glastonbury, CT, has vine of native
red grape which yielded % gallons of choice
wine last fall, two pounds OF sugar being used
to the gallon. This variety OF grape is one of
the most productive for the vintage. Horatio
Chaplin Of Williston, Vt, raised los bushels of
season. so rows or 10 rods, in the field yield
ing 30 bushels of corn in the ear. The field
was grass land, manured in May, each hill re-
ceiving small quantity of manure at planting.
William Hanson of Barre, VT, raised the past
season 5G4 bushels of Danyers Reed potatoes
on u acres also 725 bushels of oats on 81
acres of greensward. Hiram Savage of Ian
caster, N. H.. writes that he raises almost
within stones throw of the white Mountains
from IS to l25 bushels of oats to the acre He
also raised the past season form 20 rods of
ground on which he planted three packs of
California seed 5S5 bushels Of potatoes, being
at the rate of 458 bushels to the acre Harvey
b. Warner of Peacham, VT, raised 524 bushels
OF the same kind on one acre, and it is well
substantlated by other witnesses. The land
was ploughed in the fall of 1856 seven inches
deep, and sewed to oats in 1857 MANFRED with
80 carloads of rotten manure to the acre in
the fall, and ploughed and planted the 18th of
Jacob Hovey Of Waterford, Vt, raised SO

new cleared land by the use of q bushels of
seed. In the town of Whateiy the past year,
there were l70 acres of tobacco raised, aver
aging l,6e0 pounds per acre, which at Is cents

WATER GAs.-Gas generated from water
has been successfully introduced in some por-
tions Of Europe. The town of Londonderry,
Ireland, and city in France, and even in and
near Manchester, England, where coal is cheap,
several large factories are lighted by water
gas, and has been found much cheaper. In
Londonderry the price came down from ten or
twelve to five shillings per thousand feet on
the substitution of water fol. coal gas And the
substitution of the former is said to be SO much
superior to the latter, that one thousand feet
of water gas is said to be equal to three thou
sand feet Of the coal gas.
Our neighbor, Capt. Paine, must be looking
after them.

w GOD FOR THE NEXT GEAR-Wmter is the
time to prepare your stock of wood for the
coming year. True, some may pick up old
rails and other bits of wood that will do for
Summer, but your great dependence will be
from the wood lot We are not going to dis
cuss the question whether it is most econom-
cal to draw the wood sled-length and chop it at
the door, or whether it is best to cut it up into
cord-word in the woods and then haul it to the
house.
You may take your course about that but
what we argue is, that you get your years sup
ply of wood during the Winter There is no
other part of the year when you can as well
spare the time for this work Besides, the cold
of Winter braces your nerves to endure the
fatigue Of chOpping, and the work is done with
greater comfort than it could be during the de-
bIhtatlng season of Spring or Summer heat
And, above all, you want your wood ready to
cover or house from the changes of weather in
cident to the seasons.
If to be used in stove, cut and split it of a
suitable length and size for the purpose, and
let it partially season out doors before packing
it under cover, especially if it is to be housed
IN close building. In such case, it is better
to let it remain out till surface seasoned which
will seldom be before the first or middle vi
May If you pack away in your wood-house
too soon, it will retain dampness and be much
injured thereby. If you have not sufficient
room in your wood-house for your years sup
ply of wood let that which remains out be so
piled that you can roof over with boards laid
in such way as to protect it from rains
Some people cut and cord their wood in the
woods, and allow it to remain there till the
next Fall Or Winter-a practice we do not re-
commend, if shelter can be provided for it,

New KIND OF CIDER-At the late meeting
of the United States Agricultural Society, held
at Washington, d, c., Mr. A. Jencks, Vir-
ginia farmer produced number Of bottles of
good cider made from the juice Of the sorgho,
or Chinese sugar cane. Mr.. Jencks's process
is very simple. He treats the juice to bring
the fecuent matters to the top, whence he re-
moves them by skimming. He then barrels or
bottles the liquor and lets it stand In about
eight days it has become cider, and when fer
mentation has advanced to the right stage, he
bottles it and preserves it as champagne.

THE NEWFOUNDLAND CONTROVERSY

In the two great wars between France and En-
gland which resulted in the peace of Utrecht, one
of the chief points of contention was the posses
zion Of newfoundland, or rather of the fisheries
carried on upon the coasts of that island. This
war terminated TO the advantage Of the English,
10 whom was conceded the nominal sovereignty Of
the whole island-reserving, however, 10 the
French the exclusive right of fishing on all that
par. Of the shore from Cape Bonavista on the east
coast, around BY Cape Norman, the northern ex-
tremity, 10 Cape Roche on the western coast-but
without any right to settle on the soil, or to erect
any structures, except fishing stations aud hua for
the fishermen. BY the peace of 1868, which re-
suited in the loss by France Of a her North Amer.
lean dominion, the French fishing rights on the
coat Of Newfoundland we're still further cur.ailed
She received, however, the little islands of st.
Pierre and MisueloD, on the southeastern coast,
but on the condition that they should not be fort.
fed, but should be used only for the fishery.
By the peace Of l.s3, at the close Of the American
war the French fishery was placed in q somewhat
better condition. The exclusive right Of fishing
was 70 com nence on the cas-! coast at Cape ST.
Johns, little north Of so Of y. latitude, and
thence 10 extehd round Cape Norman, through the
Straits Of Belle Isle, and down the west coast as
far as Cape Ray, the southwestern point Of the
ulaDd. The French also retained the little islands
Of MiluelOn and ST. Pierre, but under the same
restrictions as before.
The long wars of the French revolution ami
hilated the French fishery, and threw the whole
business into the hands of the English fishermen,
wbo enjoyed period Of great prosperity. Upon
