MIR. Lewis, Lecture.

To the Editor of the Press:
1 ask a small space in your paper in which
to record an interestingsitem A. f. Lewis,
Esq, of Fryeburg, has delivered his course of
lectures in this town. The first, "a TriI
Across the Continent" the second Utah ant
the Mormons," the third "Wonders and Seen
cry of California" the fourth .s,rhe 70 Semitic
Valley" were all most admirably written de-
scriptions of that part of our country. His
powers of delineation are most excellent, his
illustrations most happy and his language
choice and elegant.
The last is peculiarly interesting and graphic
His vivid representation, his clear description:
and his apt comparisons rivet the attention OF
the young, awaken the enthusiasm of the mid.
die aged and touch the veneraton of the old.
The Yo Semitic is SO well done that one almost
imagnes himself looking at the reality, and
closes his eyes and realizes similar impressions
Mr.. Lewis should be employed extensively this
season in the lecture field.

SOMETHING NEw.-Yesterday the schooner
John A. Dix arrived from Cape Porpoise with
a cargo of 400 quintal of Goldfish, which are to
be shipped directly to San Francisco. The
shippers had the cargo sent to this port because
they could transfer it to the cars from the YES

not be done if the cargo was discharged at
Boston, the freight from this city to Boston
being considerably less than the cost Of truck

glad to inform them that the first Install

jars Of preserved. fi-uit-from our friend at
ICONS Statlon-and one more family is
thereby made happy in the possession of
good weekly, newspaper for the year to
come. There was oniy one thing connect
ed with this first bargain that we regret,
however, and that is we ha to pay half a
dollar in ready cash to get the "fruit'
taken down to cur house, and Row that
they are theEe, and the jars have been

them of cur hands again and what is

delieaces, won't touch nouthfuL TO be
brief, the fruit was not in so sound con-
ditiou as when first put up. Please try
again, friend r., and ws'll bear with you
until you succeed. For instance, when
yet boy we indistinctly remember of
having heard our parents speak of the
status Ct the plant called "potatoi" and
we've had a sort Of harkering ever since to
get hold Of one. AS "what we know about
farming is very limited, we feel some
delicacy in trying to describe the thing, for
fear You may not know what we mean
We have heard it said, though, that The
root increases prodigiouslY, and IS very
proper for feeding and fattening cattle.
They are Sometimes boiled in water, and
require but lite boiling though they NAV
have been kept several months IN your
cellar, Cattle will eat them raw, but for
table use they are more wholesome cook

of this plant to our friends in the country,
as it is not only excellent food for cattle,
but in years of scarcity makes very
nice present to send out to your friends
