Flax.

FIRN'
We have repeatedly spoken of the
profit of raising flax, Some OF our
citizens have purchased machinery
for the manufacture of linseed oil,
and it now remains to be seen wheth-
er farmers will raise the flax. Those
who have raised it say the crop is Q
profitable one, even for a foreign
market. With home market it viii
be one of the most profitable crop:
n farmer can raise.
Farmers should procure the SEED
and give it trial.

The Concert.

The Concert.
The concert given BY Prof n. Coo
Stewart, on Tuesday evening last
may be considered a success. Brad
bury's celebrated oratorio-Esther
the Beautiful Queen--was very wei
rendered. The choruses, solos, quar-
tettes, etc, were, generally speaking
properly eXecuted--some of then
finely. The oratorio is very diilicul
to execute properly, and as it was
given did great credit both to thu
singers and their teacher. People
generally were well pleased with tn,
singing and went away fully satisfied

Profit Of Onion Culture.

We last week urged our readers
to turn their attention 20 the cultiva-
ton of onions. In order to convey
an idea of the money to be made il
their cultivation, we give the follow.
ing statement, which we find in al
exchange:
Mr. Geo. w. Woodfall produced
last year, from SIX acres, near New
buryport, Connecticut, 1900 bushels
of onions, which he sold at 81 IS tC
80 90 per bushel, giving him clear
profit of about $4,000, and yet it wa;
but half Il crop for good season.

Weekly Compensation

Ntthty tOmpNusutioH'
One great advantage the Travellers
Insurance Company possesses over
all life insurance companies is its sys-
TEN of weekly compensation. While
we most heartily approve Of the prac-
tice of lie insurance, yet on an or
dinary life policy, the person assured
can never reap any personal benefit
from it, though the sum for which he
is insured may do much good To his
family or heirs, after his death. But
under general accident policy, a
person receiving severe bodily injury,
which takes him from his daily labor,
and puts him under the care Of the
doctor or surgeon for weeks, may re,
ceive his premium back the first week
and enjoy the benefits of his insurance
las he goes along" yet, in case o
death resulting within three months
directly traced to the effects of tin,
accident, a handsome sum of money
is secured to the wife and children
as in the case of life insurance. Th,
system of weekly compensation il
particularly beneficial to working me
chanics, day laborers, and other per
sons who work by the day or week
