lit Hunt Of New York, who arrived at
her summer residence at WcatherSfeld
Bow, the other day, with five children,
three servants and % trunks, expert
cnced sad miShap with the baggage.
The trunks Were taken from the railroad
station in \ hay cart with two horses,
being fastened on with Il chain, passing
over the whole; but when driven on to
the tcTy-boat, the chain broke, letting
some Of the trunks down upon the driv-
er who leaped on to one Of the fright
ened horses, which in turn jumped into
the river, taking trunks and all. Hor-
SEES, driver and cart sank and rose three
times, but were finally rescued after a
hard struggle. The river with its float
inc trunks, reSemblcd Boston harbor in
oldcn times with its chests of tea, and
several Of the trunks went down the
stream us lar as IIubbards Islands. The
contents of the Saratogas were com
plctely ruined, and the loss must have
been quite heavy.

The Twin Mountain House.

This new and first-clasS Hotel, with en-
tire new furniture, built in 1860, TO- is
pleasantly situated on a rise of ground
on the bank of the Ammonoosuc river,
commanding fine view Of the White
and Franconia Mountains. To the right
rises Mt, Lafayette in all its grandeur,
while to the left and distinctly visible, is
the White Mountain Range towering
above all Mt. Washington, on the sum
nit of which the expedition formed for
scientific purposes passed the winter.
Since last season a Billiard Room and
Bowling Saloon have been built and the
grounds have been graded, adding much
to the desirableneSs of the location. Boats
have been put upon the river in front Of
the House, and good croquet grounds
fitted up. From this House parties can

A Hen Pen.

We have friend out west who has
the "hen fever; cot it bad. He has
built forty foot hen tabernacle, COR
geouS to behold, wherein many hens of
dignified appearance and wondrous pedi-
gree dwell in state. He feeds them ON
bountles and daintieS in health, watches
with them in illness from pip, and
scratches for them when they go out to
take the air. But these hens being ia
dies, are naturally somewhat useless.
so that he mostly gets his cgg- at the
store, like common human, and is
obliged to charter common pmtlcts to
do the heavy work Of setting and bring,
inc up chicEcnS,-a paroXysmal cluck-
ing is the nearest approach to assuming
the cares Of maternity that equality"
hen was ever known to make. l'pon
rare occasions, however, they will con
descend to lay Il very ordinary looking
chen berry" (on the floor, always, for
his "nests" pass all manner of hen IN
derstanding) and then hen and man lift
up their voices IN most prodigious cack
LING. But his greatest Joy comes when
he gets a hen tairly under way in the
setting business; he watches her pro
gress night and day, makes up the nest
anew every time that she is absent II
moment to partake Of refreshments,
gives her the household camfirc and
pearlash when Matching time comes,
and puts the old biddy so out Of coun-
tenance generally that he rarely realizes
anything in the way Of chickens. We
take the following from one Of his let
ters:
81 lent my neighbor Chandler some
eggs for setting purposes, which after
my usual style, bore inscriptions in pen
Gil indicating what breed they were of,
&c. After some days he discovered my
marks while the old hen was gone to
dinner Last evening he sent me some
of his eggs i'll return for mine, and you
can calculate that they were marked
about as thoroughly us any eggs you
have seen :-'Australim Whippoorwill,'
'llalcyon Days, Brazilian Nulturc,' r.
pluribus uuum' and everything else.
They were completely covered with
penciling. | Immediately drank two
bottles Of sulphuric acid, bound up my
head in bearsIlin, and in the twinkling
Of an eye sent him this pastoral:
or all the eggs that ever were Matched,
OF all the Sass that ever was scratched.
or all the games that ever were matched,
In kind, if not in kindness;
You've beaten the lot, must fairly own,
And drop to you on my marrow bone,
AS down to their idols of wood and stone,
The heathen bow in blindness.
You've beaten me. squarely in the marking of
eggs,
You've knocked me tetotally OIL o my legs
You've pegged on my mob with ovarious pegs,
In Chandi-clerical writing
I'm in a condition of total collapse,
And in fit state to bequeath all my traps
To my moanest relations or Chandler, perhaps
Lays tuOrse thau Chandlor's inditing

The Sulphur Mine.

~
The "PlanLers Banner" Of the
18th ult., says. Gentlemen Just
from the Lake Charles sulphur
Mines renort that the company
have already spent eighty thou
sand dollars in preparing to bring
sulphur TO the surface, Engineers,
head managers and stook- holders
seem sanguine Of success.
"A company oil French capitalists
IL now preparing 10 work the mine.
The main shaft which leads to the
sulphur, Is Ia be twelve feet Ia di-
aneter, and this Is to be curbed
with iron an inch and 3 half thick,
in the shape Of a steam boiler. The
iron is TO be brought from France,
and to be landed at Shs mines in
the fall.
\ The obstacles in the way Of pla-
ding this shaft must be great, In
boring down toths sulphur with an
augur six inches in diameter, q
stream of water OF the size OF the
tube, came up with such force as
to go into the Dir six Or eight feet.
By closing the mouth Of the tube
and attaching pipe an inch in
diameter, water was thrown into
the air sixty feet.
To sink shaft, sunh as we have
referred to above, 40 feet below
ths surface, through water which
runs with such force, and ID places
through strata Of quicksands, aud
plant the bottom on the solid sul-
pLur, making tile whole curbing
water tight from the mine 70 tlie
surface, viii require an amount Of
engineering talent rarely possess
ed by any,
But the company has plenty Of
money, and they think the sulphur
better than a gold mine. With.
hopes Of immense gains, plenty Of
money to operate with, men with
the engineering talent of 1871,
could drift through the world, cut
ting IFS centre, aud coming out in.
