fellow took the woman back, and said he
didn't want her. OF course the parties
rued bargains aud quit. The story may
seem very ridiculous, but it was told me,
and its truth vouched for, by lady who
crossed the ocean with the woman who was

Putncy Affairs.

FIRST ARTICLE. - In presenting our
readers with a synopsis of business in Put
ney, our correspondent proposes TO give a
lew Introductory remarks, in regard to To-
cation, &c. Putney is "river town." in
the beautiful valley of Connecticut, about
midway between Bellows Falls, and Brat
Iieboro. 1t is a fine farming country, and
there are some very scientific farmers liv-
ing here, of whom we shall speak hereaf.
ter. The village is pleasantly located about
one-half mile west Of the river, slipping TO
the south, and commands delightful view
of long range OF hills in New Hampshire.
There are two depots in town, one at this
village, and one al East Putney three miles
distant. OF the fine farms we speak first
of the quincy meadows" lying in the
northeast part of the town, mostly owned
by the Messrs. Lowell and Col. White.
These lands present fine appearance in
midsummer, when the crops are in full
bloom. The Messrs. Wheat have some
nice farms lying northwest, and close prox-
unity to the village. They are very enter
prising men, and their stock figures largely
at our agricultural fairs. 1t is in this town
where grass and clover seed are raised
which we so often see quoted in the mar
kets. With this we leave the subject of
Business" till another week.
Mr.. John Black died on the 18th inst,
aged Ga years. Two years ago he fell and
struck on the back of his head, since which
he has at times been partially deranged,
and, it is thought, was the cause of his
death.
Leap Year Rtde.--The ladies' of Putney
are bound to improve their right and priyi-
legc and the sleighiug, and on Tuesday last,
they escorted twenty young men to Keene,
N. H.-making twenty couple aud merry
time, the ladies performing their privileged
duties, in true style.
JuUentIe Qua,reI-For some reason, TO
US unknown, a little son of C. A. Drake,
about eight years of age, struck little
Irish girl on the head with his dinner pail,
infiicting severe wound, so that she had
TO be carried home, and was somewhat de-
ranged. Little too much g Young Ameri-

A Donation Visit was paid Rev. f. j.
Moore, Pastor Of the Methodist Church
and Society, on Tuesday afternoon and
evening. The visitors left money, affection,
and many other valuable presents, the
whole affair passing off pleasantly and to
the satisfaction of all present.

The CAB MANUFAcToRY of Ellis, Brit.
ton IL Eaton, is an establishment in which
one can pass an idle hour very profitably.
Established some two years since, the bust
ness has steadily increased, while now they
give employment to some thirty-five hands,
while the greater part of the work is done
by machinery. The baby cabs are now
manufactured in three qualities, two at
very low price and one which they have but
just commenced 10 manufacture, which is a
very neat affair, Astounding in easy cush-
ions, silver plating, and rich ornamenting,
and is in fact happy combination of ele-
gance and cheapness, retailing at about ten
dollars. OF the three qualities they are
now at work on lot of 2000, and finishing
forty-eight per day. Besides these they
make a large quantity of toy carts for the
little boys, and nice little affair in the
shape Of a toy Gig, just right for a little
girl to give her doll a morning ride in. OF
lHS Wy hHiu IVY bafN hduc itis HhiSl
about 5000. They also manufacture a
"market cart" for the boys, and also dump
Jog cart" in imitation of the Ok cart, having
sliding end board and swinging upon the
axletree. In following the manufacture of
the cabs, from the time it leaves the raw
material, we find that it passes through one
hundred and .titiy distinct processes, which
brings it ready for packing half dozen,
being put in case of moderate dimensinns.
The boys carts are packed in one and two
dozen, the toy gig the same, and the 10y
cart in two and four dozen cases.
They manufacture great quantity of
wheels for other establishments, about four
times as many. as they use themselves
They are now just entering upon another
branch of business, that of manufacturing
Hoops for boys, who always will follow the
examples set by their mamas. The let
commenced is 10000, in twelve different
sizes. Their articles find ready sale in
all parts of the union, California not ex-
cepted, having filed an order for the land
of gold this week.
