A Remarkable Case.

A singular fact is related Of two citi.
sens of Southbridge. Mass, by the Web
ster Times, who have jointly owned and
occupied a farm in that town for sixteen
years, but have lately dissolved partner
ship. During the whole of this period
no accounts of any kind have been kept
by either of the parties. Both indiyid-
uals were men of family, occupying diff
erent portions of the same house and
when either wished TO use cash he went
to the drawer in which it was kept, and
took it, no account being kept in sin.
gle instance,
Yet in all these sixteen years not a
word Of fault was spoken, no i'll feeling,
jealousy or suspicion was shown, and
perfect harmony subsisted between the
parties to the day of their separation.
The final dissolution in business was oc-
casioned by the marriage Of member of
one of the families, when it was thought
the house might not be able to contain
1.-The consequences, SO one party raised
the value of one-half of the premises in
cash. and paid it over to the retiring
partner, who quietly left. We believe
this to be an unparalleled case Of homes

The cutting ant of Texas builds sub

sometimes filling an area Of ground %
feet square, to the depth of l6 feet.
Their cells are from to IL inches in
height. and are connected by passages
from / to or 4 inches in diameter.
From these cayerns, where they dwell in
myriads. they have been known to dig a
passage under stream in order to get
nj garden on the opposite side. Their
food is both animal and vegetable. con-
sistng Of insects, berries, grain, and. the
leaves of trees. They will sometimes en-
tirely strip tree in single night. In
Western and Central Texas they are re-
garded as terrible scourge, and man Y
efforts have been made TO exterminate
them, but their immense number has
made 1t impossible. They appear to be
divided into classes, some building and
repairing the cells, some procuring food,
some tending the sick-and all have pc
