FARMING.-It is a matter for congratulation
that so many professional men and merchants
in this city are taking an interest in farming
and fne stock breeding. For some of them
there may not be much money in it, but they will
encourage the raising of better stock through
out the country. Gen. Mattocks, with his
characteristic energy, has entered into the BUSH
ness at East Baldwin for the purpose of max
ing it pay. He has already a large catalogue
of stock swine and poultry, and has made sales
which would do credit to an older breeder.

COLD WEATHER.-The month of November
goes out cold enough for the Arctic regions.
Monday night was most disagreeable, but yes
terday morning it was considerable colder with
sharp wind. The thermometer ranged from
8 to IL below zero at sunrise at different places
in the city. At Loon it got up to below, but
was then very cold. Water pipes were frozen
up in different parts Of the city, and in some
places the frost affected the gas pipes. The
quence were very happy. The streets did not
present very lively appear ,nce as no one went
out for the fun of it,

DIsMIssALs AT THE CUSTOM HoUsE.-Pursu-
ant to the order of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, Collector Washburn gave the following
officers notice of dismissal in order to cut down
the force to the appropriations made for their
pay: NJ. N. Rich, Deputy Collector; S. R. Leav-
lit, Weigher and Gauger; Hollis True, H. r.
Sargent, j. c. Shirley, S. A. Nash and J. F.
Land, Inspectors. The Inspectors dismissed
were those covered by the order, viz, those re-
ceiving So per day. Doubtless if the Collector
had been authorized to select the candidates
for dismissal his choice would have fallen upon
other men. Collector Washburn expects that
the Secretary will restore the men to duty since
they are specially needed at this season of the
year. Indeed, for several years five special in
spectors have been appointed during the winter
season on account of the great increase of bust
ness from the English steamers. This order
reduces the force ten inspectors below the num-
Der usually employed. Those qualified to judge
represent that the force as cut down by the Or
der cannot properly attend to the business
without causing delay to shippers.

Not Pleased.

Old Bu1uz is again displeased. He
was just hoppin' mad because we
published a notice with sit" affixed
to it, calling a meeting of Exon
federate soldiers. Now his bile is
stirred up because we published the
proceedings of the unwilling of the
Jackson statue. We are truly sorry
that our best efforts to publish a pa
per to suit him are unavailing. We
do not care to cater to the wants
and desires of our several thousand
readers; our sole aim and object, in
fact our only ambition in life is to
please the gentle Buzfuz and have
him talk pretty to us. Perhaps if he
would take little liver regulator, a
dose of soothing syrup, or plate of
oysters with Durham, he might
feel better. Try it, Buzzy, and then
call us pet names-call us your to-
bacco worm.

Funeral OF Robert stewart, Esq.

The funeral of Robert Stewart at
Darkesville on Wednesday, notwith
standing the inclement weather, was
largely attended. He was buried by
the Masonic Lodge of Bunker Hill,
and by the Changers he being men,
Der of both organizations. The fune-
raj procession was formed with the
Changers, numbering A members,
on the right, and the Masons, num-
bering So members, on the left. The
body, encased in a handsome coffin,
was brought out of the house and
placed in the yard, and as the process
sion filed past, each took a last look
at the remains of their deceased
brother. On the march to the bur
ial ground, about SO carriages and a
large number of horsemen occupied
positions on the extreme left and
rear. Arrived at the grave the BODY
was taken in charge by the Masons
and buried with the usual funeral
ceremonies of that order. The large
ATTENDANCE was an evidence of the
high respect and esteem in which
the deceased was held by his neigh
bors and the community generally.

Accident.

We learn that on Tuesday last, Mr..
James w. Robinson met with an ac-
cident in Martinsburg that might
have proved serious. He was in town
with apples, and having unloaded,
proceeded to get some articles from
store near by. On his return to
his wagon he got in, fixed the arti-
cles and proceeded to get out near
the front of the wagon. In doing SO
he took hold of an upright standard,
which broke, and he fell, striking
the rear of one of the wheel horses,
which caused him to kick, striking
Mr.. Robinson on the head and face,
infiicting very painful wounds. He
was in a'sdangrrous position, and
we are glad he succeeded in es-
Gaping without serious injury.

was entirely local one, and though
for while was serious, was the re-
