A STEAMER BURNED-Vhe following in-
telligence is from the dispatch to the Union,
received by the last Pony. The steamer
was burned, we presume, on Sunday Oct.
7th:
The steamship Connaught, for Galway,
sprung aleak Saturday. She took fire on
Sunday morning, one hundred and forty
miles from Boston light; they succeeding in
keeping the fire below till four O'Clock,
when the leak gained rapidly, extinguishing
the fires under the boilers. The fire gained
rapidly, driving the passengers on deck, the
water and fire both gaining. The boats
were got ready. There was heavy sea,
and the first boat lowered was stove; six
others were launched with passengers. The
brig Minnie Shaffer hove in sight at noon,
and at seven commenced transferring the
passengers. The steamer was very hot. All
were got aboard the brig by half-past nine,
?. NJ. Captain Leitch was the last to leave
the wreck. All the passengers and mails
were saved, and taken to Boston. The Con-
naught, when last seen, was mass of
flames. There were fifty cabin passengers;
steerage, AIT; crew, 1874 The cost. of the
steamer was 100000 bounds--fully insured
in England. The fire is supposed to have
been smouldering for long time. The
cause OF the leak is not known.

Ranch Co, deem it but an act of justice to a
worthy citizen, and good man, to state that
the report which has been so ndustriously cir
culated by the political enemies Of VIM. Watt,
to the effect that he endeavored to induce us to
cut down our miners wages, is FALSE, in ev-
cry particular. No such proposition was ever
made by Mr.. Watt, nor by any one for him, to
US, or to any one else, within our knowledge

GARDEN CROPS IN SUCCESSION,

Those having small gardens, or even but a
limited plot of ground, may SO arrange the
crops cultivated as to obtain ample returns
from a little space, provided the land is ma.
nured in proportion to the returns expected
from it, and dilligent attention given to each
kind in its turn, Thus, after the early potatoes
are planted, and when they have received their
last hoeing, perhaps by the middle Of June,
cabbage plants may be set out between the
rows and when the potatoes are dug, say by
the last of July, turnips may be sown over the
ground for a late crop:
Tomatoes, peas and spinish should also be
put in to keep up a fresh supply.
Radishes need not have a separate place by
themselves in a garden, for the seed may be
scattered over the asparagus bed, in melon hills,
and among the beets and parsnips. They are
quick out of the way, and injure the other
crops but slightly.
Lettuce can be sown between rows of larger
vegetables, or on ground which will afterwards
be occupied by running vines. Upon ground
where early peas have been taken off, cabbage
or turnips may be grown, and perhaps squashes,
if room will allow.
After the first crop of early sweet corn makes
its appearance, a second sowing should be made,
by means of which the season can be prolong-
ed to a considerable extent.

W0MAN'S RIGHTS.

Among the Anniversaries lately held In
New York was one of Woman's Rights. The
attendance was not large, and Mrs. Anthony,
Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Wright, with Rev. Beriah
Greene and Wendell Phillips were the stereo-
typed managers. A speech of Mrs. Jones, of
Ohio, was the noticeable one. Mrs. Jones
opened with the remark that aoonpam' sphere
cannot be bounded, a remark we presume no
one present who was in a seat with one of the
sex would dispute. Having laid down that
self-evident fact, Mrs. Jones made some very
sensible remarks, as follows: 10 3
She proceeded to advocate the justice and
expediency of admitting women to the pro-
LESSONS, and alluded to the coarsenessa and bru-
tality often displayed by lawyers in cross-ex-
amining female witnesses. Talent, and not
choice, should determine ones position. It is
so in art, and should be SO everywhere. The
world does not care whether "Aurora Leigh"
was written by a man or by a woman, so it be
a work of genius. The little country papers,
gotten out by little editors, show that men are
sometimes out of their place, and she hoped
women would not make the same mistake as
these young men, who had they kept still,
might have been supposed to know something.
Laughter. She believed woman well adapt
ed to trade, and on Nantucket Island there are
many successful examples of this. The other
day she saw a man milliner holding up a bon
net on his soft hands and expatiating on its
merits. A lady tried it on, and he went into
ecstacies, it was such a fit, and SO becoming !
He complimented the lady. She could but
think that this man was out of his sphere, and
had crowded some woman out of her sphere.
In a shoe store, instead of a sprightly girl to
try on woman's CATERS, you find a strong man,
who tries it and fuses over the CATER and over
the feet until the lady is almost tempted to
propel him into, his true sphere. Laughter.
When and where was it discovered that God
made man to fit ladies' CATERS? Laughter.
IF woman can write good verse, let her. If
she can build ships, let her be a ship-builder.
IF she can keep house, let her be a housekeep-
e; and that requires about as much brains as
anything else. Laughter. She had found
three women out West who ~ploughed, and
ploughed well; and she had rather see a young
lady hold a plough, than to see her decked out
finely and sitting in the parlor waiting for an
offer of marriage.
She spoke of a distinguished man who at
tempted to ridicule the woman's rights move
ment, by asking if women are to run up the
mast of a ship like monkeys. Size did not
think women would enter into competition
with any performances of the monkey, as man
had shown such a remarkable aptitude for per-
formances of that kind. Laughter and ap-
plause,1 E

Now Your LAwNs.-Now is the time that
lawns require moving often, say once in eight
at the base. Repeated moving, and thst of
ten, has the same effect of a close pasturing,
and every one knows our old pasture fields
have always a smooth, close, compact turf, very
desirable in ornamental grass plats. Every
one knows, too, that in good soils old pastures
are generally green and fresh in the heat of
summer, when timothy meadows are all dried
up. = This is partly because the roots are
more shaded and the drain upon them more
equally divided, and partly because our pasture
grasses are mostly of red top, blue grass and
white cloyer.-Ohio Farmer.

na.Recently, near Petersburg, Virginia, a
musk rat and a moccasin snake had a fight in
a pond, and the rat turned and made for the
shore. The snake caught him as he reached
the bank, and they fought for ten minutes,
now on the bank and now in the water, till the
rat surrendered. AT this time a locker on
threw a stone, which caused the snake to re-
lease his hold, and the rat, finding himself
free,~ scrambled away to his hole. Our English
