ANECDoTE OF DANIEL WEBsTER.-To an
account of the burning of the barn on the
Webster estate at Marsbfeld, the Plymouth
Rock appends the following anecdote of the
departed statesman;
An incident connected with the building
Of this barn illustrates Mr.. Websters par
tieular and personal supervision Of all his
farming arrangements. The order for build
ing the barn, with plans and specifications by
himself, came from Mr.. Webster while In
Washington. On his arrival home be was
much chsgrined 10 find it covered with un-
planed boards, by some misunderstanding on
the part of the builder. The first intimstion
the Workmen had OF his presence was a per-
emptory order from Mr.. Webster standing
in the doorway, to stop work inside and faisk
the outside. All hands set to work erecting
new scaffoldipg, from which they went over
the whole surface of this large structure,
amounting to nearly one thousand square
yards, countersiBkiDg the nails, and hand
planning the boards to smooth surface for
the reception of paint. Probably the first
and only barn in this region planed after it
was built and the workmen wished 1t might
be the last, as it proved very inconVenient
and laborious task.

TOBACCO IN CALIFORNIA culture of
the tobacco plant in the fourishing State Of
California, says The Commercial List, has
been attended with entire success. Both on
the Mokelumne and in Los Angeles Coun-
ty, where the experiment has been made,
ssys San Francisco contemporary, the result
has been satisfactory and agriculturists in
these regions design extending the cultiva-
ton of this crop, which, they say, can be
done more successfully than in the most fa-
vored localities on the Atlantic side. The
plant grows thrifty, is not infested with the
worm, and has apparently fewer drawbacks
here, where the soil is properly chosen, than
in Virginia itself The present is considered
a very favorable moment for prosecuting the
enterprise, while the production in those
States which have hitherto been the great
source of supply is largely curtsiled, and
their stocks shut off from the markets of the
world. 1t Is stated that this has been an ex-
cellent season in Connecticut for tobacco, and
that the crop will amount to more than q
million dollars in Hartford County alone.

Tennessee, are also here. General Mitchell

the column. Simon Cameron is expected to
visit the camp at the same time.

which B is to repeat TO @, and @ TO d, and 80
on. No one is 10 hear it told more than
once, and each is to aim at scrupulous accu-
raoy in the repetition. By the time the mar
rative has been transmitted from mouth to
mouth six or seven times, IL has commonly
undergone complete transformation. The
ordinary result of the experiment will afford
an apt illustration of the value OF oral testi
mony in times when the marvellous had an
especial attraction foI all classes.

COOKING RATIoSs BY STEAM.-A new ap-
paratus for cooking rations by steam, the
property of R. N. W. Taylor, of this city,
on wheels, and easily drawn from place to
place by a team of horses In connection
with these are several tubs, in which the
rations are cooked by the steam generated in
the boiler. The chief advantage Of this
method is the portability of the engine, as it
can belstopped anywhere, and meal for any
number of soldiers cooked ct once; two thou
sand rations can be cooked with the same
ease that fifty could be with stove. Besides
there is no bur-4ng or scorching done. We
be generally adopted in the army.

The wheat crop of Upper Canada will be
much below that of last year, or barely an
average crop, while the quality is represented
to be only from fair to middling. The late
rains are said to have seriously damaged this
important cereal in Lower Canada, of which
a vast breadth is yet uncut. Much of this
had sprouted, while that which was cut, but
not gathered, has been rendered almost use
less. The pea crop, which was last year
immense, has proved total failure, the gem
elsl yield being little mere than the seed.
