Beverly, in Massachusetts, is known
as Bean Town" No virtuous citizen
of that place thinks of passing Sunday
morning without baked pork and beans
tor breakfast. Formerly they went to
the different bakeries Saturday nights,
each man with his bean pot Each pot
was numbered with check as received
and the number given to the owner, and
crowds would gather around the bakery
door sunday morning, each man calling
his number and receiving his pot. But
now they have Al pottery in the town,
aud each householder has had his bean
pot made to order, with his namo or
initials baked into tho sides, and tho
plan works beautifully. The bakers
charge six cents for BAKING beans, and
it is no mean source of revenue.

ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.-A French
physician is out in long dissertation on
The advantages of groaniug and crying
in general, especially daring surgical
operations. lie contends that grooming
and crying are two grand operations by
which nature allays anguish that those
patients who give way to natural feelings,
more speedily recover from accidents
and operations, thar those who suppose
it unworthy man to bctray such symp-
toms of cowardice as either to groan or
cry. He tells of man who rcduc ed
his pulse from one hundred and twenty
six to sixty in the course Of few hours,
by giving full vent to his emotions. Ii
people are at all unhappy about any
thing, let them &C into their rooms and
comfort themselves with loud boo. hoo
and they will feel hundred per cent
better afterwards.
kH accordance with tlrc abovc, the
crying of children should not bo too
greatly discouraged. If it is systcmati-
caily repressed, the result may be ST.
Ntus dance, epiieptic hts, or some ether
disease of the nervous system. What is
natural, is nearly always useful and
nothing eau be more natural than the
crying Of children. when anything occurs
to give them physical or mental pain.

agents, by whatever name they may be best de-
saeribed, to pounce upon ignorant people, cspe-
cially those of the colored race, who arc so un-
fortunate as to be brought up upon charges,
and to agree with such, on behalf of their
principals to obtain an acquittal, the consider
alton being often a fee equal to or even IN c1-
cess of the fine to DO imposed on aconviction -
The Justice then proceeded in very forcible
manner to denouncc such proceeding, as tut
,erly disgusting and disgrace to the profess
sion" We are happy to believe-that such a
practice us is here so iorcibly condemned is
not known on this side Of the Potomac.
