Gg The New York EUeninq Post say.

gy The New York Erening Post says
of Gerrit Smiths insanity:
Mr.. Smith is said to have an hered-
itary predisposition to insanity. His
father, Peter Smith, though the possessor
Of an immense estate and surrounded by
every circumstance of prosperity, was
subject to fits of dependency, during
which he was under the impression that
he would die beggar. It is also said
that the late Peter Sken Smith, the
brother Of Gerrit, was for some time an
inmate Of a lunatic asylum, though when
he died he was generally regarded as in
possession Of bis reason. A nephew of
Mrs. Smith, Col. Fitzhugh, was the cap
tor of the fugitive Cook, fact which
greatly disturbed the mind Of Mr.. Smith.

some testimonial of their admiration-a

tween that of Thompson, one of Browns

him into the hotel. 1t will be remember

How TO PACK EGGs.-The follow
inc directions are given, by one who has
had a good deal of egg packing to DO as
tho hest method: always use clean
oats. First put them one inch deep IN
the bottom of the barrel; then pretty
firm sheet of paper; then halt inch OF
oats again, well pressed; then EGGS emo
up, followed by oats and eggs as BEFORE
but working each layer of oats with the
hand snugly down around the eggs next
the barrel. as well as rubbing them effect
uallv in between each of the eggs In the
LAYER. / use a board some six or eight
inches square, with loop or staple IN the
centre, for pressing each layer of oats
firmly down. There will be something
gained by lifting and dropping the barre
square on the end, but not by shaking, a;
| ii disturbs the layers. When it gets tot
heavy to lift, use board three-fourths al
large as the head, and get on it increasing
your weight with spring. End as you
began, with paper and oats, getting oil
the head and driving it in. The score
lies all in packing the oats. Oats ar
better worth sending to market than hay
and lust as safe. I have set ten barrel
at time without losing single egg
You must pack tight. Remember that

esy> The Boston Courier stated in con-
necton with the the death Of Horace
Mann, that he "would probably have been
continued in Congress many years if he
had not assailed the course of Daniel Web
ster." To this the Springfield Republican
well replies, that it is as near the truth as
the Courier can be expected to hit when
speaking of any man worthy Of the honor
of Massachusetts. The plain matter Of
fact is that those who dishonor the name
of Webster by calling themselves Web.
ster wings" undertook to defeat the rc-elec-
ton of Mr.. Mann to Congress, but failed
and he was reelected by majority OF
1880 over the Webster wings" and 260
over both parties of the OPPOSITION. And
the whole state endorsed Mr.. Mann's posi-
sition by electing Boutwell, governor and
sending Rantoul and Sumner to the U. S.
Senate. Mr.. Mann permtorially declined
a second reelection. We do not believe
that many who were in that day Webster
wings" take pride now in their opposition
to Mr. Mann, OF will thank the Courier fol
reviving the subject.
