GoDEY's LADY's BooK.-Godey is as
enterprising as ever and as deserving of
laurels. In the May number we notice
a sharp hit at New York publishers for
claiming to be the pioneers in every en-
terprise in the publishing line, and for
asserting that the rule of paying for con-
tributions in advance originated with
Messrs. Harper e. Brothers. Cooley
coolly replies to this that the Ladys
Book is some fifteen years older than
Harper and III vt he has always paid in
advance for MSS. ever since he started
his Magazine in 1880, he has evidently
got the start Of the New Workers.

The nomination of Gov. Hartman OF
New Hampshire as Naval officer at Bos-

We therefore congratulate, not New
Hampshire alone, but New England and

A correspondent of the Traveller
mention the case Of a girl of fifteen who
lost her hearing at the age of seven, but
was well taught by her mother to artic-
ulate and read the lips that she could 90
out on an errand or shopping and no one
suspect she was deaf. One evening there
were fifteen or twenty young persons
gathered in a circle in the parlor, and
far more than an hour she led the con-
versation, promptly replying to questions,
and, by her sallies of wit, calling forth
bursts of laughter.
The Lewiston Journal correctly
says that abou; the worst of the smaller
offences against morality is the throwing
of banana, orange, and other fruit skins
upon sidewalks. If accurate statistics
could be complied, no doubt it would be
found that thousands of injuries to the
body and limbs, If not 10 life itself. are
occasioned every year by this detestable
practice.

VERMONT. AS A GRAIN STATE. The
figures from the U. S. Agricultural Re-
port of 1867, show that Vermont was the
second State of the Union in yield of
corn to the acre. The Portland Press
shows that the same holds true of wheat.
"The tables show that the average
yield of wheat in Maine last year was
ten bushels per acre, while in some other
States it was little more than half as
much. In Ohio it was II bushels per
acre. In Vermont it was 16 bushels, the
largest yield Of any State in the Union,
except, perhaps, California, from which
there is no report The average yield OF
corn in 1868 in Maine was Il little over
80 bushels per acre. Massachusetts
about 81 bushels, Vermont SO, New
Hampshire 80, and the smallest yield
was in South Carolina, little over ten
bushels, and Florida about 10 bushels.
In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio the yield
was about "a bushels, and in Ohio it was
81 bushels. The average yield of rye
in Maine was 10 bushels per acre, which
is rather more. we believe, than the av-
erage of the other States"
A DARTMooR PRISONER Died at
Newark, VT, April 4th, 1869, Mr.. Sam

marine on board the sloop of war Rat
tlesnakc, commanded by Capt Grafton.
The ship was captured few days after
she left Boston, by a British frigate, and
Mr.. Drew, with others, was carried to
England and incarcerated in Dartmoor
prison tthe black hole of British mfamy)
for two years. He was present at the
time the guard fred on the prisoners, and
received slight wound in the knee
He has resided in Newark about forty
