AT the present price for potatoes, 80

Mr.. ERior:-Thcrc occurred quite an
interesting INCIDENT in our quiet little
town OF Sweden the latter part of the
month of August last, which | would like
to note in your paper, in which five gen
erations figured. During the stay of
those from abroad, one night they all
slept under the same roof; and the fol
lowing day, think, an artist from the
neighboring town of Bridgton, was sent
for and his services secured TO give a
group, which was done pretty successful
", and gave general satisfaction, all
things considered; the eldest OF the
group being to iniirm 10 avail them
selves of better accommodations. The
group was made up entirely of females,
and contained one great great grand
mother, two great grandmothers, three
grandmothers one great great grand
daughter,two great granddaughter, three
granddaughter, four mothers, and five
daughters; quite puzzle for some of our
little folks, think The united ages Of
the group, fractional parts of years ex-
cepted, is two hundred and tifty.seven
years; The eldest, or great grandmother,
ninety-iour years; the youngest, or great
great granddaughter, five years; and
what is of still further interest, this group
represents the eldest daughter in each
respective family. Moreover, Mr.. editor,
your correspondent is one of the four sur
viving brothers who slept under the
same roof, in Norway, during the Oxford
Cattle Fair, whose united ages amount
TO two hundred and eighty.ninc years

1t may be assumed that the Prussians
opened fire on the Notifications Of Paris,

of the city itself, till the resistance of the
people makes it inevitable.
The French report the death of the
Prussian General, Prince Frederick
Charles, nephew of King William. As
there are no confirming reports from
German sources, it is thought that there
is no foundation TOR the report; but that
it is of piece with the false report of the
death Of Gen. Moltke.
A dispatch from Nancy announces that
the important town OF st. Dizicr, in the
department of Hautc Marine, was given
over to sack by the Prussian commander,
in revenge for the loss oil number OF
men who were said to have been shot ut
from houses. The town was abandoned
TO pilage, and was sacked during the
whole day. All the principal buildings
and dwellings of the rich were plundcred
of their valuablcs, aud despoilcd Of
property to the value of thousands OF
francs. A shoemaker was taken beyond
the city confines and executed, for firing
at The Prussians.
