porteo that she took her depart for the coast of
A'rlca' lor the purpose of returning to the western
shores of the Atlantic with a cargo of negroes
| Rumor adds that two or three other brics and
barks have recently hauled out from the same rem

that some vessels which lie up regularly in Brook

Drig with no name and no nation, was cap
tured by the United States steamer Mystic, Lieut.

river, on the 10th of July. This brig had no pa

was laid; coppers ready for cooking and when cap
tured her crew were all aft, with bag and baggage
ready tor move. The supercargo has been sent
home in the vessel, but the captain and his crew,
foreigners, were, at their own request, landed at
Loango near the Congo river.
MATRIMONIAL ADyERTTsNG.-A few DAYS ago a
young man who has spent three wears at Sine Sino
Tor dishonesty in the New York POst-oice, called
or and took from the Office letter bearing an ad-
| uresS not ms own and began to read it.. Mr.. Ho-
Drook, the well known agent of the department,
witnessed the transaction and tapping the youth on
the shoulder taxed him with taking another's letter
| The young man explained. He had advertised for
wife under an assumed name, had openeda CORES
| pondence with lady in New Orleans, and this
| letter was part of it. The Eucning Post finds in
morning paper of the date of the above incident
Two advertisements, one of an "eminent southern
| lawyer" who desires to correspond with lady who
| has among other things a large fortune and the
! other modest young man "of unexceptionable
| character" who also would like lady with "pros-
pective dowry." Whether the Young man who
| explained himself to Mr.. Hobrook was the eminent
| lawyer or the unexceptionable young man, does
not appear. He might have been both, as he had
practical knowledge Of criminal law and had spent
tnree years IN perfectly mOnastic seclusion from
| all temptation.
The TOBACCO CROP OF MASS AcHUsErrs-In 1915
the valuation of the tobacco crop of Massachusetts,
was Sl6,6 ,666; in 1855 it was S57,472.74. Last year
| producers in the town of Whately sold $4,000
| worth, and those in Deerfield about the same
| amount. The cultivation is almost entirely con-
lined to the counties of Hampden, Hampshire and
Franklin. This year we think the value of the crop
! VIII not fall short of 100000. 1t grows at the
average rate of about 500 pounds to the acre, and
the average price is about 121% cents pound. The
crop would prove injurousy exhaustive to the SOIL
but for the high state of cultivation required in its
production. The cost of raising it is about three
times that of corn Much labor is required to pro-
| tect 1t from the tobacco worm. The crop is pur.
chased oy spectators, and nds its principal mar
| ket in Germany, although some of it is manufae.

The telegraphic statement that the Presidential
mansion has lately been repaired, refurnished and
reftted internally for the Prince of Wales, is all
| 6osh. Nothing but little white-washing, in the
official part of the building, has been DONE and this
only because the absence of the President afforded
an opportunity to do it without disturbing the

| gold! The robber had put down the fence and
turned the cattle into the field in order to get the
