A Contrast.

Massachusetts is loyal State. Gov. An
DREW Is loyal Governor. The Governor
has been exceedingly prominent, during
this war. as an ADVISER Of the President
and the military authorities He knew
where was the great panacea for the in
slant cure and extirpation of the secession
disease. If oaly President Lincoln would
issue decree of emancipation, the thing
would be all over. The roads of Massa-
chuse:ts would swarm with the young men
from the cities and rural districts rushing
to arms and shouting the battle-cry of free
dom. That State would certainly furnish
a large share Of the thrice three hundred
thousand reserves at the North, who would
swell the ranks of the Union forces if the
Administration would only give them a
rallying cry-emancipation.
Maryland is slave State wherever
slavery exists rebellion predominates -
Gov. Bradford is tinctured with disloyalty
because he is "tender Of the rights of
Shareholders" The Governor opposes the
emancipation proclamation, and does not
dictate terms to the military authorities.

Keen to the Left .-.McetinT Teams.

Can anybody give reason for the Gus

carriages and other vehicles to keep to
the right when meeting each other on
the highway? Wenoticed that in England
:. keep to the left" is the rule, and very
proper custom it is. for this reason: Fhe

must turn out to aveid clashing of wheels.
The same is the case with the driver whom
he meets If on the contrary, they both

neither of them see the wheels coming

NEW MODE OF CATCHING TRouT.-Levi
Bartlett describes in the Country GSntler.1n
some trout ponds on the farm of Colonel
rappen. of Bradford, y. H., and speaks
also of the mode OF feeding. Last winter,
after the ponds had frozen over, he states
that boy was sent TO feed the trout with
chopped meat Having cut a hole through
the ice and put in the meat. the boy lay
down with his face near the water to
watch the fish, when a trout grabbed him
by the nose, and the boy " a sudden jerk
of the head, threw the fish upon the ice.
He thus obtained a trout of three-fourths
OF pound weight, but at the expense o.
a sore nose for three weeks. y
