Tho duty on thrown silk is thirty-Rve pcr

And China. Japan and Bengal furnishing
nearly all that is manufactured here. Raw
silk, which has not been thrown, is free.
The present tariff, with tho high prico of
gold and rates OF exchange, affords protec-
ton to tho silk manufacture in this country;

THUNDER IN FEBRUARY.-Moeting an
old friend from West Newbury the other
day. he reminded rs of an affair that hap
pcned there some years since, over which
we have enjoyed many hearty laugh to-
gether. A gentleman residing in West
Newbury, having missed good many
sticks from his woodpio, Lis suspicions
fell upon wcll-to.dO but miserly ncighbor
Of his, whom ho thought capable Of the
act Ito resolved, accordingly, to resort
to the old expcdcnt of placing a heavy
log in n tempting position, having first
we'll charged it with gunpowder, not only
in tho ccutre, but in several minor crevices
Sure enough, the stick disappeared, and
one looking very much like il "might have
been seen, as James says. on tho suspect
ed gentle emans hearth on tho ensuing Sun
day. Before it ia a huge tin Kitchen, a tur.
key was browning itself into a climax.
| All Of q sudden. laundering explosion
was heard, the tin kitchen was blown into
thousand atoms, the dismembered tur-
key flew through the atmosphere, aud the
old tom cat disappeared up the chimney.
The old gentleman and his maiden sister
were horribly "skeert," but not materially
injured, and the former was the first to
win his voice.
SISTER" said he, "that ere was the
loudest thunder ever heard in February -
The next day tho plotter Of tho mis-
chief sent tin peddler to the depredator'a q
house.
"Wapt al y tin ware2" said the Yankee.
"No, mol said the old gentleman, testify.
"Why, yes you do" rejoined the peddler
"your memory must be dreadful short.
Most all your neighbors say as how you
want Tin Kitchen
A pail 0 tongues flew through tie air, bnt
the tin peddler lodged and made "tracks"
Looking in the window, he exclaimed, ~
Better hcv ii, now; it's fust rate art-
clo---warrant il to stand most any climate,
and all sorts of weather, from earthquakes
dewn TO thunder!'
