A romantic" narrative of the provin.
cial dav is that told by the Boston cor
respondent of the Salem Gazette the
story OF a Marblehead girl named Ag-
mes, who was :. servant in a hotel there.
A nephew ofOliver Cromwell, Edward
franklin by name, was collector of the
kings customs at Boston; Marblehead
was included in the same district, and
thus Franklin often had occasion to visit
the town il discharge OF his duties.
His attention was attracted to young
girl who waited on him at the hotel ia
bic. and he gave her a dollar. The
next time he visited the ho tel he asked
her what she did with the dollar; she
answered that she bought a pair of shoes
to wear 10 meeting. He affected to be
much Interested in her artless Innocence,
and insisted on taxing her to Boston to
be educated in her education he was
faithful. but her destiny was (to use a
disgusting term) his mistress, in which
degraded station, however, she had an
interesting part to act. She accompa-
MED him everywhere he went, here or in
Europe. and was with him in Lisbon on
the day Of the great earthquake He
had lett her at their abode in the out
skirts, and drove into the city, where he
with lis team. was buried in the ruins.
Learning Of the destruction caused by
the earthquake, and he not returning,
she went through the ruins. shouting
his name, TIL She got an answer from
him, wounded and helpless. and 'sreadv
to die" She extricated him. and in
gratitude ne did her the tardy Justice, to
marry her. His English family con-
nections would not recognize her; and
Franklin and his wife returned to the
province OF Massachusetts, and dwelt IN
a house at Holliston, burnt down a few
years ago and which contained many
memorials Of these two adventures, and
where the anniversary OF the earth quake
at Lisbon was yearly observed by them
with fasting aud solemnty.

Almost every shipper who comes to
this market experiences more OR less loss
by MS cattle getting down in the cars
and being trampled to death. This is
caused by the cattle being in bad con-
dition when shipped. If cattle are full
Of corn shipped it heats them, and causes
them to cramp and get down in the cars,
| and the floor OF the car being wet, they
are unable to rise Or stand and the re-
suit is one or two steers, worth $50 per
head, are lost-all on account of the
shippers ignorance about cattle shipping.
All Eastern shippers have learned. by
long experience, that cattle 60 to market

if shipped gaunt, as they fill better when
turned into the pens to water After cat
tie nave been shipped, long runs and
short stoppages pay best. As proof Of
this, Eastern shippers of long experience
have run cattle through to st. Louis and
Chicago to New York with but one
change OF cars in four days and nights,
and the result has always been satistac-
tory. Most country shippers observe the
opposite course, and start to market,
feeding and watering at every stopping
place, instead OF N king long runs, as
they should do

AGRICULTURE IN GREECE.-In Greece
the yearly production OF gram IS inade-
quate for the supply of the Inhabitants,
who. like all Southern nations, consume
3 larger amount of bread and less meat
than is the case in England, Germany,
and the northern parts of France. &c.
Consequently from $500, 200 to $500, 900
are annually expended in the purchase
Of foreign corn, which, under improved
systems of taxation, communication.
and cultivation, might easily be pro-
duced ii this country. Scarcely any
pains have been bestowed to improve the
breed OF cattle in the Kingdom OF Greece
since its independence. The oxen are
small, and generally ill-uourlShed, and
the sheep likewise. But little care is
taken to provide the tlocks and herds
with proper folds in Winter, when the
mountains and sometimes the plains are
covered with snow. or to- supply them
with fodder under such circumstances,
the consequences being that many sheep
aud lambs perish, during severe seasons,
from the frost and snow. The wool
crop is nearly all shipped to America,
via Patras in an unwaShed state. The
cultivation of the cotton plant assumes
every year larger proportions, owing 20

ming factories established in this country

together 80, 900 spindles, and producing

The landholders are thus encouraged to
cultivate cotton, as they are sure Of dis
posing OF it for local consumption Be-
sides which, il the staple is clean and

TIE LAST BARNABEE CoNCERT.-The Bar.

some of the sweetest music ever enjoyed in
that building. Mrs. Carter, the soprano Of
the quartette, has voice which Will yet make
her fortune. She is not pretty; but she has
the grace of lady, and her sweet, bird-like
notes will long linger pleasantly upon the
ears of all who heard her.
Miss HoIbrook's contralto is equal, we
think, to any ever heard in concert in Rich
mond. Her notes are exceedingly rich and
full, and her voice is not wanting in genuine
cultivation. 4. - .......
Mr.. Winch improves very much upon ac'
quaintance. His tenor pleased every one
who heard bis clear, true notes last night,
and be was particularly complimented in the
duet with Mr.. Barnabee (Larboard Watch),
which was sung in response to an encore.
Barnabee-well, Barnabee can afford to
stand by himself. We hope he'll come again.
Miss Persis Bell, the young lady violiniste,
is an artist, and the company would not be
complete without her. We confess it looked
little odd at first to see a right pretty girl
drawing the bow with the ease that she
managed it, but then as note after note, full,
clear, and distinct, came out under her
touch, her violin seemed almost to speak, 80
completely did she master it, and she was
recognized at once as musician Of no ordi-
nary talest. She was encored twfee-in-
