REV. Mr.. BARNARD.--I dislike to

objection | have to the secrecy of this
organization. 1t may be and is un.
doubleday true, that in extreme cases
much good has resulted from secret or.
CARNATIONS, yet it seems TO me that
there ought to be better way. 1t may
be that the general object of the oranges
is good, but can they accomplish what
they propose to accomplish | think it
best to trust these things to individual
intelligence and foresight. Inotice there
is spirit abroad that strives to put
down successful men in business, but
think the success of the laboring class
depends upon their ability to furnish
them profitable labor. 1t appears to
me that the general working of the
oranges wonld throw the trading bust
ness of the community into the hands Of
few, and what has been said about
leading minds over-ruling appears too
true. No member of grange would be
likely to do your business without some
recompense and it does not appear that

first seemed apparent. ! think we had

FISH IN THE Commemorative hope
for great results from the construction
of the Holyoke fsh-way to manifest
themselves at an early day. The Con.
nectcut is the best adapted river on the
Atlantic coast for the propagation and
preservation of salmon and shid it is
the longest, the most broken by rapids,
the coolest at its sources, and contains
the clearest and purest water. 1t was
long ago the natural spawning-ground
and birth place of salmon, and only be-
came depleted by those causes insepara-
BILE from increasing population, and ig-
norant and insufficient legislation. Now
for five years past the fishery officers
have proved eminently satisfactory aud
encouraging. Hereafter, with an unob-
structed passage from the ocean to its
mountain sources, the salmon and shad
will have full range. They can plant
their seed ad libitum on chosen spots, re-
turning periodically to their native
spawning grounds-and with both fish
and ova protected by judicious laws and
watchful wardens, they must continue tc
Increase and multiply until the heart o.
every angler is made glad, and the poor
leap for joy at the Fores
Stream.

ATLANTIC MONTHLY The January
number of the Atlantic monthly comes
to US under the auspices of its new pub.
fishers, the well known and enterprising
firm of HI. o. Houghton & Co. Cam
bridge, Mass. The name of this firm is
sufficient guarantee of its future excel
lence and usefulness, while the present
number is among the most interesting
yet issued. The article by Agassiz
against the Darwinian theory is of es-
pecial interest from both the subject and
recent decease of the author, and the
poets of this number are Whittier,
Holmes and Bayard Taylor. Fox hunt
ing in England is vivid description,
and story of the Southwest is begun
by Rev. Mr.. Baker, besides the serial
story of Prudence Palfrey by Mr.. AL
drich. The contents embrace much 9TH
er matter also among which is the Dol
lar Symbol, and an article of Local Tax
alton by David A. Wells. Besides the
authors above named, Longfellow, Par.
ton, Howells, Owen, Eggleston and
Others will be regular contributors for
the year. In fine the Atlantic has
hardly ever had day of promise equal
to the present.

Caleb Gushing has been appointed
minister to Spain in place of Sickles, re
signed. 1t appears that Sickles in nego
tiating with Spain got so far ahead O.
his government as to run it alone, and
therefore Secretary Fish communicated
directly with the Spanish government
ignoring Sickles, who was altogether toe
ferocious and war-like. Mr.. Gushing
it is said takes different view of tht
status of the Virginius from Attorney
General Williams, but he is a more
courteous diplomat and his appoint
ment will give more general satisfaction
than Sickles ever did.

AMERICAN INDUsTRIEs.-To the rap
id strides of American inventive genius
is TO be greatly ascribed our leading
position among the great producing ma
tions of the earth. Where labor IN all
departments is SO we'll paid, it is neces-
sary to call in improved machinery as
an auxiliary, in order to compete with
the cheap labor of foreign countries
Without our moving, reaping and thresh-
ing machines, and other improved agri-
cultural implements, the vast Western
country would be slowly developed, and
both hemispheres would miss a large
portion of our present immense cereal
crop. So in other industries, and in all
mechanic arts, the work of the inventor
simplifies the labor of production and
multiplies the products of industry many
fold. The increase in the business of
the United States Patent Office, within a
few years, shows the exhaustless ingenu-
ity that is being constantly concentrated
upon the elimination of ideas that shall
meet the popular want with articles of
use and ornament, at prices within the
reach of all.
Inventors often fail of securing pa
tent for really valuable articles through
exercising too little care in the selection
of solicitor to transact their business
with the patent Office; and many are
put to much needless expense in striving
to secure. letters patent for articles or de-
signs either unpatentable in their nature
or merely resuscitations of something
heretofore patented. Mr.. r. H. Eddy
of Boston, whose card appears in our
paper to-day, is thoroughly conversant
with all details necessary to speedily
procure foreign and American patents
while his experience and success fol
more than thirty years in the business
! give him the confidence of all. Thos,
wishing to file caveats. procure patents
extensions, or secure trademarks ant
designs. will do well to avail taemselve
of his great research in drawing specifi
cations and avoiding conflicting claims

The catching of frogs has become
quite a business in Eastern Massachu-
sets. According to a Newburyport
newspaper the frog fishery employs a
number of men in that neighborhood.
The market for them is in Boston, where
the epicures like them as a change after,
too many fish balls. One Newburyport
man has taken 1000 and another 600
frogs this season, making 8, 200 hind-legs
in all. These creatures after capture
are kept in tubs, fatted with meal, and
forwarded to order.

fashionable topics of the day. Cards
are issued with Kettledrum " in the
corner, either for one day or several
days during the month. The word is
derived from timbale, drinking cup
used by the ancients, and which also
means kettledrum. These cups as
used of old were oftentimes of silver or
gold.
