LOUIS NAPoLEoN's MEMORY. -Napoleou
ILL.,, has an extraordinary memoryfor names,
figures, faces and miscellaneous facts. a
German professor, who was called to Paris in
connection with the publication of the 6 Vie
de Cesar" relates that it was Napoleon's sin-
variable habit on having communicated to
him name or a number, or any brief fact
which he wished to remember, to write it
down In note book kept exclusively for that
purpose, and which always lay upon his
desk. After writing down the memorandum,
he would tear the leaf out Of the book, read
it over once attentively, and then tear the
leaf up. And he told the professor that
after impressng fact on his mind by this
process, he never forgot it. The key to this
extraordinary faculty of memory doubtless
lies in the fact, that during his long years Of
Imprisonment, in early life, he did not, dare
to carry important memoranda about him.
Ee was obliged to rely on his memory but
that he did not at first trust it altogether, is
seen by the fact that, through the force of
habit, he is still obliged to make sure of a
fact by writing it down, and SO fixing it in
his mind, instead of trusting entirely to the
sense of hearing to act upon his memory.

ago. The process of manufacture is very curl
Gus, but simple. A hupe press is constantly
rising and falling, and under this some five
hundred sheets of paper are put, on which rest
a knife of the shape of an envelope lying open.
This knife is pressed down through the sheets,
cutting out the flat envelope, like the round
wads cut for a shotgun. These are stretched
out and one edge gummed with brush, and
when dry are passed through folding ma

HOME INDUsTRY.-The second meeting Of
citizens to consider the subject of an Agricul-

adjournment, on Tuesday evening of this week
and was well attended. Mr.. LEWIS SMITH
was chosen Chairman, and several gentlemen
took part in general discussion of subjects
pertaining TO raising subscriptions, location,
and plan of operations. A Committee of three,
viz: VIM. SEYMOUR, @. E. BRUCE, and Ii. H..
HALL, were appointed to solicit pledges for
stock. and report to an adjourned meeting
Tuesday next. A committee was also appoint
ed to report plan OF organization, and recon-
mend the best mode of procedure to make the
thing a success.
A liberal spirit was manifested by all-both
in regard TO raising the necessary stock and a
willingness to have the general plan of opera
lions and the location so arranged as to secure
the confidence of ALL The general expression
seemed to be that the best poseible thing
should be done. Let us hope that the Com

SOMETHING New FOR THE FARMER-Our
attention was directed the other day to an in
genious contrivance by our fellow citizens,
Messrs. s. q. TALcoTT and II. j. MOVES, de-
signed for meeting want, in cheap way, up
on the premises ofevery farmer who kills pork
for his own use or for sale. 1t is sheet iron
smoke House of about four feet diameter, OF
tasteful design, which may also be used as a safe
and secure depository for ashes, with ornamen-
tai steepie. It's height is about nine feet
door near the top opens to swivel with arms
upon which the hams are hung, and near the
bottom is draw fitting into pipe of suffici-
ent dimensions, where the fire is kindled upon
the outside and then pushed into its place, and
the smoke rises from the centrallylocated mouth
of the pipe. towards the vents around the cir
cumference of the top. 1t is also furnished
with door near the bottom for the convent
ent removal of the ashes. All danger of the
falling of the hams into and kindling fire, as
was the case with that of Mr. LEEK's short
time since, is wholly avoided. There is no
trouble about the starting of the smoke, and a
very small quantity is sufficient The contri'
vance is valuable not only for curing meat, but
for kespiag 1t through the summer, by its Sc

equal to one-fourth the value of all the lands

STRUCK by LIGHTNING.--During the terrible
shower on Sunday afternoon last, Mrs. A.
HARVEY MnbER, living In Saybrook upon
the cross road, and near the residence Of JoHN

which passed down to the foot, tearing off
stocking and shoe and leaving stunning
effect, from which the lady is slowly recovering.
During the same shower a COW belonging to
RICHARD HUTCHINSON, of the same town was
KILLED.
The wind was so violent, in this neghbor-
hood as to twist off branches of trees, and
that and the pelting rain, laid corn, oats, etc,
rather iniurously though not, perhaps, very
destructively.
The severity of the storm as well as the
force of animal instinct, was rather pleasantly
shown upon the Editorial demesne. A wood
pecker fixed his claws in the bark of szable
cherry tree, just beneath large and vertically
sheltering branch while he hugged, with
body erect, the leward side of the trunk
This place and position was held during the
entire storm, with so much composure during
its fury, as TO slake his thurst from water tina
trinkled around the branch above him.
