MARRIAGE UNDER DIFFICULTY Some
time since gentleman called on the clerk of
one of our neighboring county courts to get
marriage license. It was given him, and
the circumstance passed from the mind OF
the clerk until three weeks afterwards the
same gentleman called for another license,
bringing his first to have it cancelled. Up
on being questioned in regard to the former
license, he said he 'sdid not marry that gal
because she was too smart for him; she
wanted to know how much money he had,
what he was going to do with it, where he
was going to take her, &C., &C., and he had
concluded that it was best not to marry a gal
that knew so much. The license for gaP'
No. 2 was given, and he went off perfectly
happy, but returned the next day for anoth-
er license. to be married to still different
lady. = This time he gave as reason for not
having used the second license that "gap'
No. 1 had heard of the second engagement
and gone to the priest and told him that she
was engaged to the gentleman, and forbid
the performance of the ceremony; Z! 6 but, =
said he, "pve got her this time; she don't
even know that am acquainted with this
gal, and I'm going straight home and get
married before she has time to know anything
Of it. If anything, however, should happen
to prevent the marriage. I'll be back again
tomorrow for another license, for there are
a whole field Of gals after me" But he sue.
ceeded in bis last effort, and did not return
again. These facts were related to us by
the clerk Of the court.-Eachamge.

IMPROVED FARMING IMPLEMENTS THE
New York Euening Post, remarking on the
great improvement recently made in farming
implements and machinery, gives some OBJ
servations made in the West by way Of Illus
tration A corn field containing one hundred
and sixty acres was plowed, planted, and cul-
tivated without subjecting the farmer to the
trouble of going on foot at all. The ground
was prepared by the use ola rotary spader,
on which the operator rode; was planted by
a two-horse machine, the driver seated upon
box; when hoeing time came, a cultivator
performed the operation without involving
necessity oflpedestrian exercise. When the
corn is ripe it is cut and laid in rows by a
two-horse machine thus completing the cy-
Gle of machine corn raising. On The farm Of
which this corn-feld formed part, there
was field of timothy comprising seven hun
dred acres. It is the improved farm machine
ny which has rendered such extensive farla-
ing operations possible and profitable at the
same time.

How TO HAVE MEALY PorAroEs 1t is a
very common thing in the Spring to find
strong, watery potatoes on the table, unless
care has been taken to select or preserve
them. A poor potato is the poorest article
of food that can be had and as soon as they
begin to sprout they begin to grow poor and
watery, the better part of the root going to
the support of the sprouts; hence, to have
mealy, nice potatoes it is necessary to keep
them from exhausting themselves in this way
An exchange gives the following method Of
preventing the potatoes from sprouting, which
we hope will be tried and approved. Take
good, sound potatoes and place them in a TUX
or barrel, and pour boiling water over them,
letting them remain in the water until the
eyes are scalded so that they will not sprout
dry the potatoes thoroughly in the sun, and
then put them in a box or barrel in "a very
cool, dry place. This will give good mealy
potatoes all the time. -Lypachdamg Neacs.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR Wool. Recently a
method of manufacturing certain kind of
cloth from the foliage Of pine trees has been
tried in Austria with considerable success
The matter was started some years ago, and
there was a great deal OF talk about it,. but
nothing practical resulted from tie expert
:ments made, and the whole thing was finally
allowed to drop. During the last year, how
ever, Mr. Pannuwitz succeeded in bring
ing the foliage of the pine to state Of fibre
so that it could be woven into cloth Blan-
kets, bed-covering, and a number of coarse
articles, are made from it, and are in use in
the hospitals, barracks and prisons of Austria.
In the unwoven state it is used for stuffing
mattresses, cushions, chairs, &c. This sub
stitute for wool, it is said, can be produced
at a comparatively small cost, and for mum
Der Of articles it answers admirably. An
additional advantage is that the aroma of the
pine repels the insects natural which so fire.
ouently infest wooden substances. PAilaQeI.

Il BABIES Some time ago there was dan
cling party given up Northwest; most of the
ladies present had little babies, whose noisy
peryersity required too much attention to
permit the mothers to enjoy the dance. A
number Of gallant young men volunteered to
watch the young ones while the parents in
dulged in s'break down" No sooner had
the women left the babies in charge of the
mischievous devils, than they stripped the
infants, changed their clothes, giving the
apparel of one to another. The dance over,
it was time to go home, and the mothers
hurriedly took each a baby in the dress Of
her own, and started, some to their homes
ten or fifteen miles off, and were far on their
way before daylight. But the day following
there was tremendous row in the settle
ment; mothers discovered that single night
