THAT COMING SLEIGH-We took look at
the new sleigh built by G. P. Kimball g. Co.
for parties in Boston, that we mentioned in
yesterdays issue would be on exhibition dur
ing the day. The sleigh is perfect beauty
and no mistake. Kimball has just laid him
self out and got up an article that is decidedly
nobby. The sleigh is desi yned for two horses,
and the front seat is like that of ordinary
sleishs. Behind this seat is built box, on
top of which is built seat facing backwards,
designed for an outsider. The rear end Of this
box can be let down a short distance for the
rider to put his feet upon. If single sleigh is
wanted all there is necessary is to close up this
end and remove the seat If a double sleigh is
wanted all there is necessary is to raise half
of the movable lid of the box and the seat
which is attached to the lower side is ready for
occupancy, and at the same time room is made
for the feet of the occupant. The sleigh is
gotten up in the most splendid style, elegantly
upholstered, and costs about $500.

SEIZURE OF A FISHING vEssRr-T

nue. cutter "Vigilant' yesterday seized the
fishing schooner "Mary Lizzie" for violation
of the revenue laws, in that she was sailing
under two names. It is customary for many of
these fishing schooners to have the name of the
vessel with the place they hail from painted Cd
the stern and another fancy name painted on
the bowsprit 10 the case Of the Mary Lizzie,
there was the name "Maid of the Mist painted
on the bowsprit We would therefore advise
fishermen to stick to one name, if they don't
want to get into trouble with Uncle Sam. The
Mary Lizzie was bonded.

ANOTHER CONFIDENCE GAME.-A CONNER
cial street merchant who bad just returned
rom up country, whe he lad been selling
goods, tod us Yesterday that as lie read the lit
tie story in Monday mornings Press, of how
an Iowa sheriff was done for, it reminded him
of a like little game that happened on the train
over the Maine Central last Saturday, as he
was on his way back to Portland. 1t seems
that nice looking young man got aboard the
train at Monmouth, and seated himself side of
a fine looking old farmer with whom he got in
to conversation. When the train reached Lew
iston man came aboard and presented q bill
to the young man for goods to the value Of 800.
The young man drew his wallet and found that
he had not enough within $32 to pay the bill,
ana turning to the farmer, asked him to ac-
commodate him, and that he would pay him
as soon as he could get the money from his
trunk in the baggage car; that he would not
have time to get it out and pay his creditor be-
fore the train started. The farmer complied,
and SO honest and particular was the young
man, that he handed back to the farmer dol
lar bill which he said he had given him too
much. The creditor left with the money, and
the young man left for the baggage car to get
the funds to repay the farmer The Old farmer
rode along quietly and contentedly for some
distance, until he thought it was time to see
the young man, and, as the conductor passed
ahrough. told him the circumstance, and asked
him if he did not think it was time for the
young man to have opened his trunk. The
conductor told him he guessed the young man
wouldn't get his trunk open, and in fact, the
farmer found be was $50 out.

subject was, "The Irish American Element" -
After giving the Irish due credit for persever-

and their industry in the land of their adop-

urged upon them the necessity of e-adicating
those evils if they wished to be power here
Intemperance must be done away with; their
children must have a better education, and
there must be love and respect for christiani-

SO popular in Boston, not only among the Irish

lecture last evening lisa fair specimen of the
man, he is one that in seeking to elevate his

he knows to exist. The lecture was frequent

ASHES FOR WHEAT-Ashes as fertilizer
are almost wholly neglected or allowed to got
waste by our farmers. In many instances in
deed they seem to be ignorant of their value,
or if not ignorant too careless to take the ne
cessary pains to secure any of them. During
the winter, ashes can be collected in large guam
titles, and farmers should do this for the pur-
pose of sowing them on wheat soil. In my ex-
perience with ashes, have found them ofgreat
value on different grains, but most valuable
when used on wheat
Ashes are an active fertilizer on wheat and
even five bushels per acre will push it forward
two days ahead of that upon which none is ap-
piled. In some seasons when hot and sultry
weather prevails, about the time wheat is ripe
ming, few days gained is worth half crop OF
grain.
The ashes strengthen the wheat stem, giving
it substance and solidity; and develope the
berry quicker and better.
Ashes are also a preventative against rust,
and I have seen the wheat upon which ashes
were sown free from rust; that upon which
none had been sown was rusted to the drill row.
Save your ashes and try the experiment next
season. You will find it to pay you well to col
lect all the ashes you can get Farmers can
afford to pay as high as 20 cents per bushel for
good unleached hard wood ashes for farm use,
not only to put on wheat, but on corn, oats and
clover as well. I believe they are the cheapest
manure farmer can buy, as potash enters
largely into all the grain and grasses that are
raised. Twenty bushels can be sown to an acre
with the very best results. Ashes are also good
though larger quantity should be used. All
around US large quantities both of leached and
unleached ashes 20 to waste every year. These
should be returned to the SOIL Now is a good
farmers to do so and apply them to theirfelds.

WOODEN RA1LRoADs.-They Scientific amer
ican copies an account of railroad, with rails
of wood, which has recently been built from
Quebec through the village of Jacxues Car
ties, distance of about fifteen miles. The
Quebec editor describes trip he made over it.
The rate of speed was from twenty to thirty
miles an hour The cars conveying the party
were simply rudimentary vehicles, known as
platform carriages, but, to use the language of
the journal referred to- sufficient evidence was
given that the line, when completed, will be as
easy and smooth for travelling purposes, as upon
the old established iron or steel rails" The
road is built upon feet 81 inch guage. Each
rail is IA feet long. inches in depth, and IA in
width-sawed and prepared at temporary
mill recently erected by the contractor on the
line for the purpose. Each rail rests on sever
al sleepers to which they are fastened by wedges
by a process so simple that the rail, when re-
quired, can be removed or reversed by any or
tfinary mechanic. The locomotive is from the
Rhode Island Iron Works, and is said to be a
splendid piece of mechanical ingenuity, and is
supposed to weigh twenty-onc tons, loaded,
without the tender.

- Buffers scheme to involve this country in
war with Great Britain, for the ayowcd pur-
pose Of rcscuing the Republican party from i'm
pending ruin, is almost universally condemned
at the North. Republican and Democratic
journals alike denounce it, and the reckless
dcmagogue who is willing to resort to such
means to accomplish his ends. Buffers record
is not such an honorable one that he should
seek to measure swords again with the repre-
sentatives Of any nation that can furnish true
soldiers. Does he pant for another opportunity
to hang unarmed citizens, to punish helpless
women and children, and to load himself with
booty? He should have sense enough to know
that war with England would not furnish an
opportunity for distinction such as he acquired
in the late rebellion" unless he could seize
Canada, and be made ptovost-marshal of that

The WAR RECORD OF THE STATE-The
Executive Board of the State Survivors Asso-
ciation, in their report submitted at the annual
meeting of the Association. explain at some
length the objects of the organization and show
that; the war having ended disastrously the
Southern people will turn upon South Carolina
the most scrl.tinizing inquiry as to the part
taken by the State in the conflict which She
naugurated. The action of South Carolina
compelled the people of her sister States to
stand by and see her subjugated, or join in the
struggle, and it becomes us now to show that
South Carolinians were not laggards in the
strife to which they called the South. And
the Executive Board believe that this can easi-
ly be done.
Out of voting population of less than 6S,
600, this State gave Fl, 900 soldiers to the Con-
fedcrate armies in the first eighteen months of
the war, and, during the whole war, at least
one soldier for every vote cast for secession.
diers died in service, and the Executive Board
assert their belief that, of the remnant of the
glorious Army of Northern Virginia. which
stood by its chieftain to the last one-fifth were
1 South Carolinians; and this, although South
Carolina was one of the smallest of the nine
Estates whose troops composed that army. In
Esupport of their statements, the Executive
Board cite report of the Adjutant General,
lin which it is shown that upon the 90th Au-
gust 1862, the State of South Carolina had in
the field Al 1873 volunteers and 100 conscripts
and that, up to that time, the number of men
contributed by the State to the Confederate
service exceeded $4,000 besides 5000 reserves
During the last year of the war; We had in Che
field thirty-two regiments and three battalions
of infantry, eight regiments of cavalry, and
two regiments, two battalions and twenty-five
batteries of artillery, with four regiments of
reserves, besides the corps of the State cadets
/ This, in brief, is the war record of South
Carolina record which sets at rest forever
the ungenerous suggestion that this State
dragged the South into secession and left the
burden of the fighting to the soldiers of our
sister States. The wisdom of secession, as
means of redressing the wrongs of the South
ern States, may be open to discussion; but it is
at least certain that South Carolina more than
fulfilled her every promise, and poured out
like water, the blood of her gallant children in
what was the common cause of the Southern
people. Even her enemies must now admit
that South Carolina nobly did her duty
