THE EASTERN RAILRoAD.-The Directors of
the Eastern Railroad Company are pursuing a
very liberal and enterprising policy in regard
to the affairs of their long established road.
They have decided, in connection with Super
intendent Prescott, to crafty the wishes of
our mercantile community by putting on the
the early morning train which went into oper-
alton on Monday. and which, we trust will
prove paying operations "A double track has
been laid between Boston and Salem, and is
now being continued to Beverly which will be
open for travel inlthe early spring, whenit win
be pushed on to Newburyport thus allowing
an indefinite number of trains,to be run daily,
besides eustiring the safety efpassengers A
magnificent new bridge has been nearly COM
pleted across the Merrimac at Newbur, port,
which besides being solid and very handsome
structure will be a straight one and cut off the
two curves in the track at that point. The
draw is now being set in place, and the bridge
will be opened for travel about Thanksgiving
day From the large car shops of the compa-
ny at Salem, some splendid work As being
turned cut, especially several elegant cars for
the through trains, the travel on which is de-
cidedly on the increase. A new and enlarged
refreshment saloon, capable of seating. one
hundred persons, lis nearly finished at Ipswich
These improved facilities for passengers and
the liberal policy inAregard to running trains
together with the general good management
have had their legitimate effect upon the val
ne of the stock which we notice was quoted at
the last Brokers Board at Ill There is one
thing more that would please, our people, if
the Railroad company would do it, and that is
to start their last train from Boston to this
city at s O'clock P. NJ instead of 5 O'Clock. and
thus make daily connection between New
York and Portland seNA&48E

Immediately, and others wait for the

there is no delay nor loss of heat in
case cold storm should come. Lay

be, without their touching one an

soil about two inches deep. When
this has been done, the bed will be
filled to within two inches of the top

the whole with.hay. allowing it to be

feet high in the center. After the

three to five days it must be examined.

SmalIness of Cob Very Desirable i'm
-la Seed Corn. '

The selection of seed corn is one of
the most important things which a
farmer does at this season. Coarse
cobs accompany late maturity. as a
rule; fine cobs, well tipped out, lindi-
cate perfect maturity, adaptation to
the season and soil, and a fxedness of
character which it is important to
maintain. The curing of corn, takes
place Co i great extent after husking,1
and the presence of great, soft, moist
cob in each ear gives a tendency to
mold, which should be sedulously
avoided. The old experiment of fit
ting paper cone to an ear of corn,
then Withdrawing the ear, shelhhg
it and returning the kernels to
the cone, is interesting and instruc-
tive IF the kernels will go easily in
to the cone, the cob is too large. and
we should say, the corn unfit for seed.
The cone should be made of brown
paper. dampened, bound tightly
around the ear, coming no higher than
the kernels, but covering all the ends
are trimmed off, and it is allowed to
dry before the ear is drawn out. One
may easily judge by the eye which ears
have the smallest cobs-those which
are best tipped out, which have the kerr
nels in the closest rows, and all the
rows running unbroken from end to
end These ears will not be found
among the biggest round, nor among
the longest. usually, but among those
of medium size A friend used to
say, as he showed off his seed corn,
every ear as solid and regular as a
white-oak pin. And so they were, as
nearly as corn ears could be-frm

THE American machinery at the Paris
Expo sition has attracted a great deal Of
attention, and q correspondent of the
London Herald pays a high tribute to
American mechanical genius. In o long
letter of three columns he says, among
other things: at is ar absolute pleas
ure to find oneself on the American
ground. The contributions from the
great and powerful country formed by
the United States, and transmitted across
the wide Atlantic, have q refreshing
originality, and exhibit a prolific fertil-
ity of imagination, aptitude of applica-
ton and readiness Of resource that are
in agreeable contrast with the short
comiups exhibited in the previous series
of courts. True, there is an abundance
of novelties, which are notions rather
than perfectly practical inventions; but
even yankee lodges are often marvel
ously useful, and at least show the tai
ent and quick, keen acuteness Of the
intelligence which conceived them. The
Americans have a fucncy of conception
beyond the English inventive genius,
and a surprising readiness for making
sOme ingenious machine out of the SIM
plest and commonest elements. In ma
chinery of the larger class they lack the
ripe experience of the eminent British
hrms, but even in engines and steam
power tools there are American makers
who take deseryedly q high position"

Too LArs.-A few evenings ago n
clergyman in this city united q couple
from q neighboring county in the bonds
of wedlock. An hour or two after the
performance Of the ceremony he received
a dispatch from Stockton urging him to
prevent the marriage, as the lady was
under age and had not obtained her
parents consent. He sought the we'd
ded couple at the Orleans Hotel, and,
knocking at the door of the room to
which they had retired, stated that there
seemed to be something wrong about
their marriage and suggested that they
occupy separate chambers until the facts
could be investigated. The bride re-
spouded that it was =" too late" The
disappointed Clergyman retired without
further suggestion.-Sac. Union.

POISONOUS s

In many parts Of the world 'neFe OK
lists species of fish that produce poison
u effects when eaten. This is especi-
allv the case in the West Indies and the
China a where the dangerous kinds
are we'll known, and carefully avoided
nv the natives. A kind of herring in
the West Indies known as the "yellow-
bill s~prat," or "cailleu-tassard," is
. especially dreaded, death being almost
invariably the prompt result of eating
it. 1t is principally among the fish of
the herring, the mackerel, the trunk
fish and Barracuda families that the
poisonous kinds are found. Some OF
these may be eaten with IMMUNITY while
small, when large specimens are to be
avoided; and many kinds of fish are
noxious when spawning, and wholesome
at other seasons. Careful removal OF
the spawn and milt Immediately after
catching, or before cooking, will some
times render these harmless sometimes
not. It will be borne in mind that the
oyster is by many considered unit Tor
food when spawning. In some cases hsh
NAV be safely eaten direct from the
water, when the slightest decomposition,
however inappreciaole to the senses,
will make them q dangerous article OF
food. The symptoms of tish-poisoning
are usually dizziness, obscuring of vision
and giddiness, accompanied by palpita-
ton of the heart and q sensation OF
weight in the stomach and abdomen,
with n diminutiou in the strength
and frequency of the pulse. Next fol-
lows an actually painful sensation Of
prickling all over the body, and then
the appearance of a fine white or red
eruption, like that following the sting
Of q nettle, surrounded by q reddish
ring. The palms and solcs are more
especially painful under these circum-
stances. Sometimes there are frequent
vomitings, excavations with tenesmus
and violent pains, and Involuntary ennis
sion Of urine with coma. The remedies
consist in the prompt use of an emetic,
followed by a dose of castor oil or calo-
mel, and such other treatment as may
be indicated. S~timulants, as tea, cof-
fee, and alcoholic liquors, should be
freely used. Should the vomiting and
excavations continue, opiates will be
required.
A case is on record where the crew OF
an American whaler, while at the Isle
Of Juan Fernandez, after catching q
large number Of fish, proceeded to feed
upon them, when for:y-two out of fifty
seven were taken i'll with the symptoms
above indicated, and ~thirty-four of them
died within eleven hours, spite of every
effort to save them. None escaped en-
tirely, but those who had not tasted OF
the fish. Among the fish eaten on that
occasion were specimens Of a r or
yellow mackerel.
Similar conditions of unhealthfalness
attach to the flesh Of various species OF
shell-fsh, more particularly to the mus
sci of our sea coast, which, sometimes
harmless, is not unfrequently very poi
onous The oyster, also, sometimes
exhibits similar properties. Our fresh
water mussels are likewise considered
unsafe by most persons, although their
disagreeable taste generally save them
from being the subject of experiment.

QUICKSILVER IN SANTA CLARA.-The
San Jose Mercury of November 10th says;
Quite a little town is springing up a,
C%hapman's quicksilver mine, near the
cemetery. A number of houses have
been erected for tho workmen, and brick
furnaces are now in process of construc-
ton for smelling the ore. The mine is
only about four miles from San Jose, to
the right and near the Gilroy road. 1t
has been sufficiently developed to de-
monstrate the fact that it is a paying
enterprise, and will thus add another
rich source of wealth to our county.
