President johnson arrived in Boston
on Saturday last, to take part in the
Masonic celebration on Monday. He
was accompanied by Secretary Seward,
Postmaster Randall, and others. Many
thousand people were gathered at the
depot, the President being received with
military escort and salute, and loudly
cheered by the populace. The Mayor
of Boston met the Presidential party and
welcomed it to the city. The President
was escorted to the fremont House,
where he was received by Governor
Bullock who addressed him in appro'
pirate words of welcome. The President
briefly replied, complimenting Massa-
cnusetts generally, and returning thanks
for the welcome extended him. On
Sunday morning the President and
party, accompanied by committee Of
the municipal authorizes, visited the
State school-ship having been conveyed

German Toys.

A correspondent of the London Tele-
graph gossips pleasantly of German
toys " Germany has always been pre-
eminent in the manufacture of mechani.
cal fgures-I mean those prolific figures,
which by au ingenious mechanism con.
cealed behind the painted background,
are made to go through variety of
droll movements common to humanity.
Thus we see an indignant papa kicking
the sweetheart, Of whose attention to
his daughter he does not approve, down
stairs schoolmaster Gaming a squall-
ing urchin a cobbler drawing his
double thread, winking his eyes and
lolling out his tongue meanwhile an
old black man sweeping a bootblack
polishing a gentleman's upper feathers ;
a gill milking on old woman coercing
a refractory pig, and the like. The
funniest thing is when a number of
frames containing the mechanical tab.
leaux are placed together. Then the
cruel parent kicks, and the pedagogue
scourges, and the urchin squalls, and
the cobbler sews, and the old negro
sweeps, and the bootblack polishes, and
the girl milks, and the old woman drives
the pig to market-all in unison. IF
you come back in half an hours time
they are still hard at it. If you visit
the German Court in a week or a fort
night, or a month, you will still find the
same thing going. You begin to think
at last that perpetual motion has been
discovered, and that these puppets will
continue kicking, and threshing, and
polishing, aud milking, and sewing, for.
ever and ever.
The number of military toys in the
German Courts is very remarkable
There are whole corps Rarmee in tin,
lead and ziuc with encampments on
the vastest scale of which miniature is
sceptible-squadrons of cavalry, parks
of artillery and gabions, fasoines aud
pontoon bridges without number. 1t is
significant to note that the smaller Ger
man States contribute the larger mum.
Der of these bellicose playthings. The
Prussian toys are comparatively peace,
iul. The Austrian are miscellaneous,
if chiefly tending toward miniature fur
niture, are excellent throughout. But
to the fierce martial display of Bavaria,
Hesse and Wurtemburg there is no
end"

" RoMANTIC."-A Scotch emigrant
passed through Milwaukee one day last
week, en- route for Minnesota. In. his
family was his eldest daughter, who is
described as Of extraordinary beauty;
with form of faultless symmetry. Her
every movement was graceful and lady
like her eyes were brilliant and spark.

their glances; her nose finely ckiselled,
and Of the pure Grecian style, and her
complexion Of rare beauty. After din
ncr, the head of the family sauntered
out to obtain a glimpse of Milwaukee,
In his rambles he found young fellow
countryman who had preceded him about
six years. The two were soon engaged
in conversation about auld Scotia, clos
ing with an invitation from the old gen
tleman to the young man to come and
visit his family. This was accepted.
The moment the young man was intro
duced to the daughter he was blindly in
love, and before the interview closed,
proposed and was referred to the father.
The old gentleman took the matter into
consideration, made due inquiry into the
character and prospects of the young
man, and was abundantly satisfied, and
within twenty-four hours from their first
meeting the two were made one. The
parents proceeded west, and the bride
and groom came eastward on a wedding

FODDER FOR Stock 1t is probable
that considerable land designed for corn
the present spring will fail to be planted
on account Of the prevalence of wet
weather. In such cases it would be a
good plan to SOW corn for fodder purpos,
es. Good land will produce a heavy
burthen Of this kind of food for cattle
1t is especially good for dairy stock, and
may be fed in a green or in dry state.
The sweet variety is considered the best,
as it is richer and eaten more readily
than others. What is not used in a
green state may be cut and dried for
winter use. 1t may be fed whole, or
cut up and mixed with something else,
as circumstances shall dictate.

Selected Nottrp,
TUk HAUNTED House.

The suaboams came in their glory
TO play on the sunken floor
And the moonbcams told their story
Thro' the chinks in the shaking door.
And up the stairs went creeping
With quiet step and slow,
Or, like a sentinel sleeping,
Lay still in the hall below.
The storm, with its bitter bowling,
Drove in through the shattered pane
And the thunder, dark and scowling,
Sang there its wild refrain
On the wall the tattered hanging
Was swayed by the passing wind
And through the corridor changing
Came a sound Of a step behind.
Wherever the moon shonc brightlyj
Wherever it lay in gloom,
Now loud, now falling lightly,
1t strode from room tc room.
X X
All, Presence !! why do you linger,
And sit by the hearth so cold,
To mark Times ruthless finger
Turn into dross the gold
Dost thou hear in thine ancient dwelling,
The well-remembered strain,
And list to its music swelling
In household tones again ?
Or doth thy heart, in its yearning,
Seek here its peace and rest
From the shadowy land returning
Full oft on its bootless quest
All, spirit so sad and weary -
So sad with thy restless head
Back, back from this world so dreary,
10 rest in thy quiet bed,
In sorrow and pain thou hast striven,
In life thou hadst no part :
Let the ties of this world be riven
Away from thy aching heart.

The Amateurs played on Wednesday

commanding the mines. GRoAT and TILLOT-
son, failed to ''come TO time," and WINsLow
was unavoidably absent, assisting Mrs. W.
in the manufacture of new supply of
Soothing Syrup" TYLER led his men to
the field and gave TETER and his nine
Waterloo defeat, the score standing IA to n
at the end of the ninth innings. The play
ing was for the most part excellent, and
showed good theoretical knowledge of the
game. Some of the players wanted TO take
unfair advantages. ALTAFrER tried to bat the
ball with his head and CLEVELAND caught it
once or twice in his eye. KEELER struck
straight from the shoulder" but made bases
on "fouls," RYDER while standing with his
left foot on The home base tried to put his
right on the first, las precautionary measure,
before striking. MENe attempted to make
first "on all fours." The attempt made a
deep impression on the spectators but is not
recommended by HANEY. ALTAFFER wanted
to run bases and make scores for both sides,
and TErER insisted on assisting TYLER as
''short stop" TYLER attempted to catch flies
in his "bread basket" and hired a hoy TO
run with him TO tell when his feet were on
the bases, they being out of his line Of Wis
ion. When We left the ground TYLER was
preparing 10 make the bases against time,
with "Bullywingle" as running mate. u
We learn, however, that the race was post
poued to the third day of the Fair.
The report that the game was delayed
until the Coroner reached the ground was

Base Ball Matters.

THE ORoGHANs came back form Norwalk
last Friday with flags at halfmast, the
victims of misplaced confidence. The
FIRELANDs had beaten them by six tallies.
OF course there were one hundred and fifty
reasons ,ohy they lost the game, the one
having most weight in the minds OF
spectators, being the record of the scorers,
which showed that the FrRELAKDs made six
more tallies than the CRoGHANs. 1t was
pretty generally conceded, however, that
the CRoGHANs would have won the game if
they had made seven tallies more or the
FIRELANDs seven less. As the CRoeHAN
scorer failed to make either of the above
showings, the only thing left was to pocket
the defeat gracefully, which was no trouble
at all, the winning nine being the best and
jolliest fellows that ever swung bat.
The game opened with splendid dinner
at the American Hotel, the CRoeHANs win
ming praise from all spectators for the grace
full manner in which they "gobbled up"
every thing in their field" no "muffins" or
passed balls" being recorded at that stage of
the game.
After dinner the clubs repaired to the
Fair Grounds to find large crowd, mostly
ladies', already in the seats.
The toss of the nickel" gave the choice
Of innings to the FIRELANDs and sent the
CRoGHANs TO the bat. The opening was
ominous for the CRoeHANs. They went out
with only single score, made by Beckwith.
The FIRELANDs, however, only succeeded in
making three. In the second innings the
CRocHANs batted more steadily scoreing six,
but the FIRELANDs led them again scoring
thirteen. In the third and fourth innings
the CROGHANs nearly closed the gap, but in
the fifth and sixth fell behind again. The
seventh stood a tie, each side scoring two
In the eighth innings the CRoeHANs went
10 the bat with big odds against them but
they rallied with a will, batting well into
the long field, making twenty seven tallies,
the largest score of the day-and then send
ing the FIRELANDs out with tcore of six.
The ninth innings, the most exciting Of
the game, began ORoGHANs, 70. FIRELANDs
IA. The CRoeHANs went to the bat and
scored five. The FIRELANDs lost two men
before they had made three tallies, but
fortunate strike gave them the fourth and
the fifth amid storm of cheers from the
crowd Of two thousand people who had
watched the game, apparently, with breath
less interest from the beginning.
AT the end the score stood CRoGHAKs 10.
FIRELANDS 81. The large figures are due
principally 10 the rOughness of the field,
which made it next to impossible to catch
or stop balls which passed the short stop
and base men.
This greatly increased the odds against
the CRoGnANs, they playing with eight men,
the two fielders doing the duty of three,
which was iu this case more than double
duty at best.
The game closed with general rush of
the crowd to the scors table and a succession
for the Olubs,lhe Umpire and Scorers and The
days sport ended with an elegant supper at
the american"
A double health to the Norwalk base
ballists.

FINDLAr.-Oroghan stock rose to par on
Tuesday, the first nine having won a game
at Findlay, against seven of the Buckeyes
and two of the Dexters, by a score of 10 to
46, the Croghans leading in every innings
except the last. The familiar sound "How
far is it TO Norwalk" has died into an echo.
The game was the handsomest ever played
by the Club, there being no large runs made
by either side.
The Croghans were received at the Depot
by the entire Findlay nine and taken to the
Crook House" for breakfast. After the
game, the ladies provided splendid out
door dinner, 10 which both Clubs did ample
justice, and there was no end of hospitai-
ties until the train left for Fremont. There
was not single occurrence TO mar the pleas
ure of the day.
On the centre OF the dinner table was an
immense cake, with the words ORoeHANs
and BUCKEYES elaborately displayed in the
frosting. This was presented TO Capt.
LANDGRAF of the ORoGHASs by the Findlay
Club, after dinner, with the compliments of
the ladies of Findlay.
The following is the score of the game.

Gardening FOR PRoFIT; In the Market
and family Garden. By Peter Henderson.
A new, finely illustrated work on Market
and Family Gardening and the first ever
prepared by a Market Gardener in this coun-
try. The author is well known, and he re-
cords his successful experience of eighteen
years.
The Louisville (Ky.) Journal says of this
work:
I'VE know of no manual on any subject
that surpasses this. Every part of its dis
plays the hand of man thoroughly at home
with his subjects it is full of sound excel
lent sense, expressed in clear and concise
language. We say great deal when we say
that Mr. Henderson is as complete as writ
er on gardening as he is practitioner in his
gentle but laborious art
William Saunders, Esq, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, writes:
at is the most practically useful work of
any on the same subject. In these days of
book writing, it is refreshing to meet work
that has common sense and practical exper-
ience for its basis"
Hon. Horace Greeley thus speaks of this
book in the Nelo York Tribune:
"READING FOR BoYs.-This work would
probably not be selected by most boys as
the book for their money, wherein they
would evince their usual greenness. There.
are marvels of transformation and rapid pro-
duction recorded therein, which might well
shame the dull fancy of the author of Alad-
din or of Kaloolah. To know that a few
rods of good land may well employ and will
surely reward the constant labor of stout
man-that there are choice gold-fields all
around us for those that knOto hop TO dig
that ST. 900 may be wisely and profitable ex-
pended in draining, subsoiling, fertilizing,
and deeply pulveriziDg single acre-that
he who would get rich by gardening must
pile on manures by the hundreds of TONS
that great crops always pay ; half crops
neyer-such are few of the important
truths succictly set forth and tersely enforc-
ed in Mr.. Henderson little volume. There
is no theory about it-one who has made
himself rich by market gardening plainly
tells our young men how they can get rich
as easily as he did, aud without wandering
TO California or Montana for it either"
