 Cape Cod Mackerel Fishing.

iO A Cape God correspondent of the Bos- ton Watchnaan aud Rgaector writes of Mackerel fishing as follows :-
 The lines, of which each man manag- es two, are all thrown from the starboard side of the vessel, this being, perhaps, because the fishermen of Galilee once met with remarkable success when they "cast the net on the right side of the ship" In regard to the time of fishing, we are at the mercy of the capricious mackerel themselves. Sometimes they come promptly "alongside and remain there for several hours, while again we hear many times in @ day the prepara- tory "heave to, but not followed by the more quickly spoken ' fish, ho !" and the exciting drumming in the emp ty barrels of thesnewly taken fish. But when. they bite rapidly, the spoat is I've Iy enough, and each man has to look well to his lines. We three ' greenies D. stood side by side, and sometimes when the lively mackerel on our hooks would dart about like weaver's shuttle, it would result in all six of our lines being drawn in by onerof the party, in state of entanglement very trying to ones pa hence. This the old salt very appro- priately denominates "quilting" On I drew in 8 fish and was about to strike him off into my barrel when I found that both my neighbors' lines were wound securely around the tail of the fish, which caused-a @ strong tendency towards the next barrel. Between us both the poor mackerel had hard time of it, for it was not until we cut off his tail that my friends lines would give up their hold upon him. Such vexations the experienced fisherman avoids.

Ono Summer morning Baby came,
 To lay upon my breast; I kissed her little face, aud said,
 "We have an angel guest" That Summertime was glad and gay With baby laugh and glee; v The dearest thing in all the world
 My darling was to me. But when the frost-winds touched the flowers Like them she dropped away, And died within my folding arms
 One sad, sad Autumn day. We made her little narrow grave
 Close by the garden-wall- .H..... 1t seemed that some time she would wake, And for her mother call. planted rose and briony
 Beside her grave in Spring, And robins nestled there, and learned
 Their little ones U sing. ... It is a sacred spot to me,
 That grave so green and low; -. An ] Heaven cannot be far away
 From Baby's grave, know.

LITIeAuoN.-A case illustrating itiga- tion has just been concluded in Massa- chusetts court. Four years ago two ladies were riding with about dozen others in four-horse coach, on @ pie nic excursion in Ashfeld, when 8 de- fective bridge gave way and precipitated the team, with the passengers, some twelve feet into the stream below. Both ladies were injured. The defect in the bridge and the liability of the town seemed undoubted. One of the ladies offered to settle for S1,5OO, but the selectmen refused. The matter went in- to court, and now after four years of litigation the town is mulcted in the sum of $16 ,135, and must besides pay a large bill of costs for their own wit nesseS

PoRK.-Pork has risen 3. cents per pound, so the markets say ; and again the question comes up favorably before the farmer of feeding his corn to his hogs, and calculating how much money he can make. A Missouri farmer de- termined to try for himself practically whether it would pay to 6uy hogs and feed them corn bought in February. Seven hogs, averaging 133 pounds, or 93l in all-worth 5 cents per pound, or $46.5 55, other expenses connected with purchase being $6-cost $52.55. He fed them corn for " days. At the end of that time they weighed 1, 700 pounds, or gain of 769 pounds-an average of 10 pounds per day. They sold for $97. .- 75, or profit over, cost price of $45. 20. The corn fed during that time was 50 bushels, or 40 cents more than the corn had pre- viously been worth. The corn crop of the West is now the most abun- dant known ill ten years, and large qrian- titles will be at price of not over 25 cents per bushel. This is so cheap that it will tempt farmers everywhere to feed it to their animals and convert it into beef or pork. At this price any one can double their money very easily.

How TO GET STAMINA. A.-Iron frames and strong nervous systems are not the lot of all. But the feeble need not des- pair. By adopting the right means they may live as long and enjoy life gas much as their more robust neighbors. Physical invigoration is, however, neces- sary to this end and while the spiritu- ous tonics and nervines usually adminis- tered, eventually depress both body and mind, Dr. J.

 PROCLAMATION. r
 The process of the seasons has again enabled the husbandman to garner the fruits of successful toil Industry has been generally well rewarded. We are at peace with all nations, and tranquility, with few exceptions, prevails at home. Within the past year we have in the main been free from ills which elsewhere have affected our kind. If some of us have had calamities, there would be an occasion for sympathy with the sufferers :; of resignation on their part to the will of the, Most High, and of the rejoicing to the many who have been more favored. I therefore recommend that on Thurs day, the Both day of November next, the people meet in their respective places of worship, and there make the usual ac- Acknowledgements to Almighty God for the blessings he has conferred upops them Lf6rt their marciNl ex emp ptionI from evils, and invoke His protection and kindness for their less fortunate brethren, whom, in His wisdom, he has deemed it. best to ;chastise. In faith whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the, seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this 2Sth day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1871, and of the independence of the United States the ninety-sixth.

The Agricultural Bureau.

The report of the Department of Az riculture for October says the influence of drouth and of the unusually low tenn perature of September has been unfa- vorable to the ripening of fruits, and to the maturing of corn and other crops No general or serious damage has re- suited to corn, large portion of the crcp being well advanced by the high temperature of August before frost appeared The drouth of Midsummer has been almost unbroken in the West up to the time of these returns, inter- fering greatly with the seeding of grain, and with the germination and growth of what the farmers have been able to plant. T z h
 The present condition of corn, ex- pressed as percentage, 100 represent ing good crop, is as follows About an average in New Hampshire of Ill /; in Massachusetts of 103 }; in Rhode Island of 101 in Connecticut of 1O5 :; in New Jersey of 102 in Delaware of 1O8; in Maryland of 103 in Arkansas of 102; in Missouri of 112 in Ohio of 1O6 ; in Wisconsin of 108; in Minnesota of no; in Iowa of IA. in Kansas of t119 ; in Nebraska of 112 45 'Is -@s 7
 The product of wheat, as calculated from county estimates, appears to be about seven per cent less than last year. The product of oats will be about as large as the crop of last year. As a whole, the quality of barley may be said to be fully medium, and the quantity very nearly an average. The buckwheat crop is comparatively poor one, the average condition being low in nearly all the States. The potato crop falls be- low an average. The number of beeves reported is greater than usual in most o1 the States; Texas reports 8 reduction ot 21 per cent from last year, Kentucky g. Illinois 2, Indiana 2, California 5.

There is cre- ated, further, reserve force of 75O,000 men and 5000 officers.
