Norfolk.

The principal topic of conversation IS the proposed enlargement of the grave yard. Some two years since, the select men were authorized to select suitable piece of ground for burial purposes. This was done and accepted by the town; the owner of the land, however, was dissatis- fled, and since that time the case has been in the courts latterly decision has been rendered in favor of the town. The owner of the land, not yet satisfied, has clrculat- ed petition praying the selectmen to call town meeting, with the object of bring. ing about vote to throw up this chance and select other ground, if such can be found. Thus the matter stands at this date. Nearly or quite 2O years ago, this matter of enlarging the burying ground was agitated, and from that time until now the old ground has been used, although two-thirds of the graves dug during that period have been dug upon, and by throw ing out, portions of human remains. It is thought by many that another such spe- cies of vandalism would be difficult to ind in any enlightened community, more especially as in Norfolk, the most disinter- ested person can see there should be space room enough to bury the dead in man ner that would not put savages to the blush. Prof. Everett gave g so-called en- tertainment of magic at the Town Hall on Thursday evening, which was we'll attend ed, although old show-goers thought he was new to the business x.

The Farmers Friend.

The Agricultural Insurance O. of Wa tertown has attained it's majority. From its start to the present time its career has been uniformly successful. During the first ten years no efforts were made to ex- tend it's business beyond it's own and few adjoining counties. In 1868 it's entire as- sets were less than $96, ,Oo0. .o0, and at the clCse of 1874 they figure up the grand to- tai of $s24, 100000. During these twenty one years the company has paid in losses $l ,272, 4S0. .00, yet has 1eoer insured, or lost, dollar on any but farm property and private residences and their contents, and never lost $5,o by any one fire, sweeping or otherwise. The sweeping fires of the last few years, destroying millions of dol, lars worth of property, and rendering worthless thousands of Policies upon the homes of our people, arc convincing proofs of the wisdom of the "Agricu ltu- ral's" plan of separating dwellings and farm property from business hazards. To farmers and owners of dwellings these facts are of importance, and when to them may be added, that the Policy of the 'Ag- riculturar can be had for Jess rate than that charged by companies doing general business, what man will hesitate to place his insurance with company which a6so- Iutely cannot fall in which there is TO chance for an assessment, and which for generation has SO ably demonstrated its ability to not only meet it's liabilities, but roll up so handsome a surplus.

c collected, and all went to work trying 10 save what they could from the cruel flames. Most of the furniture, &c. on the first floor was saved, although much of it was greatly damaged. The contents of one chamber only were removed, as the second story was so filled with smoke that it was impossible to save more. The youngest daughter was from home short distance, and lost all of her clothing. also her gold watch anI chain which she left in her room. It is said that all their silver ware and many other things which they valued very highly, and which money cannot re- place, were lost. Mir. Sage is an old man, aud was almost insane at the time, and could not be reconciled. MT. Cyrus French's barn came very near burning, and it was only with the greatest effort that the men were able to save it. Several were injured in various ways while helping, but none seriously. The family have the sympathy of the whole community.

Sheffield.

The Dramatics at the hall last week Tuesday evening were we'll attended, and very pleasing to all. We think London Assurance is the best of all the plays which we have witnessed at the Sheffield Theatre. Lady Gay,' or Mrs. Grover, is decidedly the star actress. Her description of the chase could not have been more thrilling had it been given by profession al actress. Much tribute is due to Mr. R.. Little for the perfect enacting of his part as an attorney at law......A neck-tie party was given by the ladies of the M. E. soci- ety, in French's Hall, Thursday evening. These parties are becoming quite popular in this vicinity, especially as they favor the ladies. The gentlemen get the worst of the affair, having double position ito draw for the fair ones and then to seek for them among the expectant crowd. Abund- ant refreshments were provided, and we learn that the profits were about $2O.OO... Have you heard how young lady from thls place lately sold our learned men and divines? It happened in this wise. Miss | A., while in conversation with these gen tlemen at Friendly Union gathering, po- litely requested one of them to pronounce the word 'goup' for her, saying that dis putes had arisen as to it's proper pronunci- ation. These scholarly persons all agreed that it was French word, and gave hel the rules which might govern the accent
 &c. Then one of them asked Miss A
 how she would pronounce it. She naiyely replied that she was taught to read it 'ge up. The doctors, good naturedly, owned beaten, and told the young lady she could go up to tue head. JOHN.

A New NIitraiIIcuse.

Taylor's new battery gun was tested in Hartford last week. The inventor is Jas Patton Taylor of Tennessee. It is claimed that it's simplicity, comraotness and rapid
 ity of firing it excels any mitrailleuse or Gatling gun before invented. Its barrels are twenty-tour in number, and are ar ranged in two concentric circles-eight in the inner and sixteen in the outer. They are also regulated SO as to radate their fi7e, covering horizontal line of twenty-two feet at distance of five hundred yards This would bring down every man in a column standing within She boundary. The barrels project from combination of breech cylinders which safely enclose all the internal mechanism and protect it eff fectually from dust, dirt or Gampness. The gun fires with great rapidity and in two modes, viz; by fusilade or by volley, at the pleasure of the operator. The cart ridges are fed into the barrel from suitable charging cases, which are introduced into the interior of the breech cylinders.
 The test was made in the presence of jouFnal,sts and others. The results were astonishing Iu firing single barrel at a distance of five hundred yards bullets were repeatedly sent into an eight inch bulls eye. In firing the fusilade the twenty balls were distributed on 8 horizontal sur face twenty-two feet long at distance of foot apart. and firing by the battery the same results were accomplished. The ra- pidity of the fire was remarkable, being at the rate of seven hundred balls per minute. All present were convinced that the gun was the most formidable light arm weapon of war yet invented

LOWEST THOU NR--The Yonker's States nsan says the following incident transpired in that place few years ago:
 A young lady of wit and worth was spending the summer here with her parents. She had made an impression on young clergyman in nsighboring town; and he managed to effect frequent exchanges with a Yonkers minister during that season, making his home at the hospitable man. sion of the young lady's father. On Sat urday evening the young pair were ..seated In the Eparlor. Well, declare sad the minister, I've got to preach tomorrow morning, and have not got even a text. Give me text, Miss Jennie Will you preach from text will give you ? asked the lady. I will,' was the prompt reply. Lowest thou me? John XXI Next morn Ing the minister announced his text sLov est thou me- from which he preached 6 very good sermon in the presence of 2 large congregation, including the young lady and family, during which the word. of Peter. thou knowest love thee, were several times repeated. But Miss Jenni, married another man.

Wednesday evening of last week was the Eth annual gathering of the Sons and Daughters of Massachusetts, who, with a few invited friends, met at the Beardsley House, and after an hour or two of pre- liminaries, electing officers, receiving re- ports of the secretary and treasurer, the company proceeded to the dining room, where tables were spread for nearly hun dred. After the appetites had been ap- peased by the superb supper of that priu ce of landlords. Stevens, had provided for them, speech making, toasts and the retir- ing presidents poem, which was delivered in the most inimitable style, consumed the time till midnight, when part dispersed and part gathered in the parlor, where Mr.
 Frary presided at the piano for couple of hours, discoursing music which remind ed the dancingly inclined members of the company of anything but desire to break up and go home, but which they did about 2 o'clock, satisfied that this was the most delightful gathering tho association had ever had......Stevens of the Beardsley House, seems to be resting from his repair ing, remodeling and refurnishing of his house for few days, and well he may, for with fine new parlor and new suits of rooms added, his dining room elabo- rately and tastefully decorated, the hall and office ditto, there seems to be little room for further improvements, as these have made the Beardsley House the best ap- pointed, best furnished aud most elegantly fitted hotel in this part of the state...... Business here is improving from the dull
 time of month ago. Our scythe con- panies are all running on full time and full
 number of hands with plenty of orders, and our other manufactories are either running full time or making preparations to do so in few days; the snows and rains giving them plenty of water, so that no steam IS necessary to be used as auxil- ary. Fl.

On Wednesday, party of Frenchmen went on fishing excursion to Canaan Mountain pond; two of their number broke through the ice; one by the greatest exertlon was saved, but the other was drowned. He was said to be man of responsibility, and was laboring hard to support mother,

We presume if he bad killed the woman the verdict would have been that he was insane at the time. Of course no arrest was made. The trouble is, that drinking is not confined to the poor wretches, but it extends to those who are very officious in matters of church and so- ciety, in fact those who imagine the whole social structure would fall were it not for their support. Since the rain of Jan. Sth the Whiting river arch has been impassi- ble. The railroad company claim that it does not belong to them to repair the road, and the town deny that it belongs to them, and in the meantime those who wish to travel that road are obliged to cross Col lege Hill or go round by Henry Stevens. ......One of our good looking young wid- overs has lately taken an accomplish ed and beautiful German girl to wife.
