Domestic Life in spain.

Let US take glimpse of family life
IN the middle class. The Spanish houses
are built chiefly of the hard but porous
sand or iron-stone quarries of which
abound in the interior they have some
ten or twelve rooms, all of which are
paved with stone, or large tiles, for in
this country of dust and burning heat
the thermometer has varied from 81 deg.
to 95 deg. throughout the summer-no
carpets seem to be used, save just in one
room, in the heart of the winter. The
stable is at the back of the house, and
horses, mules and carriages all pass
through the hall just as do the. inmates
of the house. | have often been taking
9 refresco with the senior and his
sposa in the hall, and we have had to
move the little table to let the servant
and his mules pass throughl Every
morning the 6 creada, or maid-servant,
takes her watering-pot and carefully
lays the dust, and cools the room with
an abundant sprinkling of aqua fresca.
At early morn the master rises, and his
little cup of chocolate, an egg, and a
slice of melon await him in the sala; or
large sitting room-to English eyes a
most eonfortless place very large,
stone tagged, with a few massive chairs,
walls painted in the rudest way, and one
large table in the midst. The rooms,
owing to the heat, are always kept
darkened by means of closed Skaters
throughout the day-some of the WIN
dows have glass, some not-but all are
strongly protected, without exception,
by a stfong cage of massive iron work
outside. The sonora has her chocolate

REPORT or THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE The report of the department
OF agriculture for November and De-
cember shows that the average of the
tobacco crop, in comparison with last
year, is 81. The returns make the yield
above that of 1872: In West Virginia,
129 Kansas, ia; Arkansas, 108; Vir-
ginia, 102; Illinois, 101 New Hamp-
shire, New York, Texas and Oregon,
100. The. e.other states ranged between
20 in Pennsylvania and 80 in South Caro-
lima and Florida. In condition Connec-
tlcut reports an average of 1873; Massa-
chusetts, 120; New Hampshire, 11S;
Vermont, 10; Maryland, Louisiana and
Oregon, 106; Kansas, 102; Virginia,
Georgia and Alabama, 101 Other states
range between 100 in Illinois and 81 IN
Missouri. In all the gulf states there
are counties reporting the cultivation of
sugar cane TO some extent; but outside
Louisiana it is evident that this produc-
ton is small. The returns make the
average product of potatoes throughout
the country ID per cent. less than last
year. As the crop was then estimated
at 113, SIG, 900 bushels, telling off OF
about II, 900, 900 bushels is indicated.
The sweet potato crop Is q fair one.
both in yield and quality. The quantity
of hay produced this year-is about 5OO,-
900 tons less than last year, when if was
not far from 81, 900, 600 tons. The re-
port says, under the head of ''foreign
demand for wheat in Great Britain,
that many have supposed that Russia IS
the heaviest contributor to these sup
plies but the official figures show, when
subjected to analysis, that the United
States furnish the largest proportion, the
total for fifteen years being 143, ,S17, ,696
cwt., or 27 per cent. of all, while the
proportion for Russia is "a per cent, or
126, 756, AT cwt Germany, inclusive
of the duchies. up to 1850, contributed
II per cent, or SO, ,437. .841 cwt; France.
9 per cent, or 51,342, 639 cwt., and
British America 3 per cent. These
prominent contributions, with frsctions
of percentages omitted, make 81 per
cent, leaving but 16 per cent. to all 9th
er sources of supplies.

pass down the streets from six to eight
at night and see the graceful carriage of
the head, and the stately upright walk
of the Spanish ladies, with their long

As regards the master of the house, he

out to view his olive farm. or his mine;
and you viii certainly meet him in his
shop, casino, or his frienc's casa, smok-

or making bargain. But there is abso-

CHESTER.

.
-0n Monday burglars broke into the
dwelling house of F. w. Marsh, Esq,
on Depot street The entrance was eff
feeted through adoorin the cellar, which
was locked on the inside, but the fssteh-
ings were wrenched out of place by SOME
blunt. instrument, as the marks on the
door-easings indicate. After regaling
himself, or themselves, upon pie, cake,
apples, ale, porter, etc, they attempted
TO enter the upper part of the house via
the cellar stairs bat the door opening
from the cellar was too well secured, and
they were frustrated in their designs
The same parties paid mine host Farrell
of the Chester House flying visit, and
gained ain entrance to the cellar by
breaking in the bolt which fastened the
outer door, They helped themselves
freely to cake, etc, carrying away with.
them two freshly-baked losyes thereof !;
and also reduced the. size of large
cheese to diminutive proportions. From
the number of partly burned matches
left on the cellar stairs it is evident that
they attempted to effect an entrance in.
to the upper rooms of the hotel, but
they encountered formidable barrier,
in the form of a faithful sentinel,
ssSpot, the watchdog, who prevented
them from pursuing their midnight
wanderings any further in that direction.
Nothing valuable was taken from either
house.

EARLY FREMasoSRV IN VERAtoSr,-----
A petition from several brethren. dated
Cornish then claimed by Vermont, but
now in New Hampshire, was read in
the Massachusetts Grand Lodge, Nov.
9Th, A. r. 57Sf, praying for the estab-
TisbmeAt of q lodge in that place, where
upon, voted, that a charter be issued
accordingly. This lodge met few
times at Cornish, but when the town
was claimed by. New Hampshire, the
hodge removed 10 Windsor, Vermont,
on the Opposite side of Connecticut
river, and took the name of Vermont
