BALLOON AsTRAY.-Mr Frank King was to
Hyde Park, VT, on Thursday last, bnt high
wind which came up prevented successful
contamination of the undertaking. Hydrogen
gas was manufactured on the ground to fill the
balloon, but the wind was so strong that an as
cension with any degree of safety was entirely
out of the question. 1t was found impossible
to retain the balloon except at the risk of its
destruction and it was liberated without an oc-
cupant. This is undoubtedly the balloon which
is reported to have come down near Boothbay'
in this state, on the same evening. The dis
lance from Hyde Park to Boothbay in an air
line is about 10 miles.

IN this machine Is retained all of the original
Il Buckeye features, together with many new con-
veniences originating with the New Model Buckeye.
1t is made with a Tubular Iron frame OF great
strength and simplicity, which Is cast in piece,
and dispenses almost entirely with bolts.
The Gearing is very compact, thoroughly protected
and very accessible.
The Drive Wheels are sufficient distance apart to
prevent running over the cut grass.
By new device upon the Inner Shoe the heel of
the scythe is more securely holden down to the
plates, making a more perfect shear cut and pre-
venting the possibility Of breaking the Scythe Rod
or clogging in the Inside Shoe.
A spring in the Track Clearer Slidedspenses with
the thumb nut and makes the Track Clearer self
adjusting.
Three-inch Knife Sections are used, and the
speed increased.
The driver can fold or unfold the Cutter Bar, ar
range the machine in working order, or change 1t
from a working condition ready for transportation
without leaving his seat.
The draft of the New Model Is reduced to the
lowest point ever attained and has established itself

Frightened to Death.

Monsieur Berger, Partisan, lost his
wife in 1866, very beautiful and youth
full woman, whom he had married but
three years before. He became quite
heart.broken over his loss, and has sin
cercly mourned for his wife ever since,
living in the same suite of rooms where
she died, and keeping everything sacredly
as she had left it. A few weeks since =
singular occurrence happened in that suite
Of rooms, forming most tragic ending
to the constancy of the widower.
His wife's sister, at the time Of her mar
rage, was small girl, but she had since
expanded into strikingly handsome wo-
man. Nine years had ripened her face
and form to the perfection Of wonanhood.
For years she had not seen Monsieur Ber-
ger, but being in Paris she resolved to
call upon him, and came but few days
since tohis apartments, where she knocked
at the door, The servant was not al hand,
and SO NJ. Berger opened the door him
self
She entered the apartment, calling him
by name, and lifted her vail
"Do you not recognize met" she asked.
"My wife!" almost exclaimed the ex-
"No, no. monsieur" she said, sooth-
ingly.
''Shc is dead she is dcad!"
"Monsieur! monsieur" said the young
woman, striving to quiet him.
ut is her spirit" shouted the widower.
"Nay, monsieur; will you not listen for
one moment to me2"
"a ghost ghost!" he shouted.
The sister-in-law became frightened as
she saw M Berger's excitement.
"Helpl helpw he exclaimed.
In vain were her efforts to soethe the
half-distracted man, who rushed toward
large portrait hanging upon the wall,
and which was life-like picture of his
departed wife. For moment he looked
first at the sister and then at the painting,
with clasped hands and wild expression
in his eyes. Then he once more shrieked
at the top Of his voice:
"Help! A ghost a ghost" He then
fell upon the floor shaking in every limb.
The neighbors hurried in and attempted
to lift him up, but M, Berger was dead!

HOUSEHOLD.
How to Clean a Sponge.

Old sponges that have been employed
for some time, and have become full of
grease and dirt, may be again used in the
place of new ones. To clean it, solu-
ton of permanganate of potash in water
is prepared Of such strength that it ap-
pears of wine color, and into this the un-
serviceable sponge is immersed, and al
lowed to remain in tho liquid for some
time. When taken out and squeezed. it
is next put into diluted muriatic acid Of
ordinary commercial quality, being i'm
mersed and kept saturated therein for
some time as before. The most appro-
pirate strength of this acid solution is
about ten parts water to one part acid.
The sponge is taken out after sufficient
treatment, squeezed we'll to free it from
the acid, and then washed we'll in good
spring water. When taken out it will be
found to he quite clean, to have again as
sumed it's light color, and to be free from
all foreign matter. Sponges treated in this
way become like new. The main thing
to be attended to in this plan OF purifying
sponge is to see that it is thoroughly satu-
rated both by the.permanganate and the
acid solutions, which should be allowed
ample time to soak through the mass
care must also be observed to wash the
sponges thoroughly at the end of the OPP
Grafton.

DRAMAS AS NON-SITTERs.-The change
in the natural predisposition of the Brah-
ma l attribute to the system of feeding
which have adopted; which is all in the
direction of keeping the egg machine
running, and giving no opportunity for
the fowls to get lazy and lay on fat. In
dian corn, which is the great staple in
common use, l have almost entirely dis
carded as too heating, and rely princi-
pally on stale wheaton bread, which can
he purchased very cheap, and table scraps,
mixed with little provender, aud ted
hot in the morning, with whole grain of
some kind-wheat, buckwheat or bar
lcy-at night; nothing at midday in
summer or winter. In the summer cut
grass very fine, and mix with the morn
ing meal, alternating with mashed boiled
potatoes, and in the winter add q little
stimulant, like ginger or cayenne, occasion
ally. This system of feeding, with plenty
of fresh water (warm in winter), has given
me all the fresh eggs have needed for a
family of eight persons, without the nui-
sancc of a lot of broody fowls.-H. WooD-

Taking Pay in Music.

In the former days, when the times
were even harder than they are now, an
enterprising western man started news
paper called the Jefersonian. After run-
ming it for some time, he told the public,
half in earnest and half in fun, that he
would take pay for his paper in "grain,
pork, tallow, statuary, beeswax, linen, po-
tatoes, music, or anything that his sub
scribcrs could make or get"
Not long afterwards countryman APP
peared in the editors sanctum with
green bag under his arm. After passing
u few remarks about the state OF the
weather, he proceeded to draw from his
bag yellow fiddle, which he commenced
tuning at an alarming rate. The editor
was not much prepossessed with music,
and inquired of the countryman what he
was going to do. II see your advertise
