TIE Country Gentleman denies the
agricultural exhaustion of New Eng

more bushels of wheat, corn, and other

long be as productive as those Of Old
England.

A STORY combining the essentially dra-
matte elements of woman's love and
constancy, mans cruelty, pistol shots,
blood, and death-agony comes from Lin

of the burial, and about the same time
missed her dog. With that beautiful

A MARRIED lady in Rock Island, Hi
nois, had been in the habit, for several
years, Of placing needles in her mouth.
Now and then she swallowed one, and
it was sure to appear in some strange
locality few months after passing down
her throat. During the last five years
seven needles have been extracted from
her body in different places-two from
the region of the stomach and short
ribs, one from the leg near the knee,
and recently one was taken from the
left temple. The lady has always en-
joyed good health, and has never
suffered any Inconvenience from her
metallic diet.

THERE is a publishing house in San
Francisco, which is owned by women,
and almost entirely managed by women.
1t was incorporated only few weeks
since, and is said to bid fair to succeed.
This is very practical way of extending
woman's sphere. There is no doubt
that she is capable of excelling at very
many employments hitherto denied
her. There is also no doubt that, at
present at least, she is inevitably
coarsened by engaging in those employ
ments side by side with men. Such in.
stitutions as the one we have mentioned
do away with this great objection, and
yet give her the freest and fullest op,
portunities to test her capacities.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

We see the name of our pleasant and
accomplished friend, o. H. Grey, men
toned in connection with the Office OF
Speaker of the incoming House of Assem-
bly,. Grey is member-elect from White
Pine county Shelbourne, we believe.
Now, We don't know of any memf'er of
the new Legislature who would make q
better appearance in the Speakers chair
than friend Grey; for he is q well pro
portioned man and portly, and he has
had no little experience as legislator
which experience, superadded to very
considerable faculty for seeing the pith
and point of things, and these good quail
tiles, supplemented by happy degree
and sort of ssaa,iter in n,odo, would, we
should say, make Mr.. Gray not only an
eligible and acceptable candidate for the
place indicated, but give warrant to his
fellow Assemblymen in selecting and sup
porting him. He is bustIng man, and
would expedite business, we should
think.

SAN FRANC1sco Nor AFREcTEn
BY THE BOSTON FIRE.

The San Francisco AHd, long way the
best Anancial authority of any paper on
the Pacific coast, has the following In
relation to the effect Of the Boston fire
upon the business Of San Francisco:
The disaster at Boston is, to some extent. ne
tional calamity, but is far from being as rulnous
in its general effects as was that of Chicago OF
last year. A large quantity of merchandise has
been destroyed but it has been in the hands OF
people, who. Of all others in the Union are best
able to bear it. The loss which the nation at
large sustains is in the destruction OF so much
merchandise which might cause consumers to
pay somewhat more for that which they
REQUIRE. The financial effects of the fire will be
mostly local and this coast will be but little, II
at ALL affected by it. San Francisco last year was
called upon to pay between two and thres MIL
ions for losses in Chicago, and did so among the
most active stock market and general business
that she had ever seen. This year she has moth
ing to pay, and her means are far larger than
ever before. There are those here. as well as at
the East, who desire to make the most of 1t. At
the East there has been an effort. for sometime,
to force Secretary Boutwell, to reissue the S4+.-
100000 of greenbacks called in by Mr.. McCul-
lough and it is stated that 81 500 600 was actual
ly issued last week to in the purchase of 5000
600 United States stock. The Boston fire has
now given occasion for a united clamor upon
the Secretary to issue the notes in the purchase
of the United States stock that Insurance Com
panies may be compelled to sell to meet their
their losses. Several of the New York papers
urge this course; and gold in New York rose to-
day to 141s, under that influence, closing how
ever at 1877. when the Boston Bank officers tel
egraphed that there was no cause for any excep
tIoual action on the part Of the Treasury. The
effort to create . panic in order to force an infia
tion Of the currency failed. The financial diff
culties arising from the fire will be readily ov-
ercome. without producing any effect here.
