A Queer Marriage Story.

The Allentown (Pa.) Register tells it
thus: " A rather romantic occurrence
took place, recently in the Pottstown
Postofiice. A prominent Clergyman of
the borough by accident left his book
containing the formulas of the different
ordinances of the church lying in the
Postoilice, where he had gone with it in
his hand. Discovering his loss he hur-
ried back, and found it in the hands of
"A young lady and gentleman, who were
reading over the ceremony of marriage.
He iokingly offered to read it to them,
provided they would give the proper
answers. They consented, thinking the
whole very funny. The minister read
and the couple replied, to the great de-
light of one spectator. After the rev.
erend gentleman had ceased. he an
nounced to the astonished pair that
they were legally married. They, how
ever, did not consider the tie binding,
and totally ignore it,"

n AGRICULTURAL.
FEPTLLIZ[NG VALUE or
LIME.

When line of any kind is use'l as a
fertilizer, it is always scattered on the
plowed ground and narrowed in, or
upon the narrowed ground and left
upon The surface. Lime thus used
should always be in q fine condition,
dry Stacked to a very fine dry powd-
er. It then sinks rapidly in the soil
when exposed to the winter rains, and
when the ground is next plowed,
some of it that has not been dissolved
will be turned up at the bottom Of
the furrow. It should be applied in
the fall, and is generally used when
wheat or rye is sown and the field
seeded to clover. For old grass fields
it is valuable top-dressng, but is
most valuable when composted with
swamp muck, yard scrapings, old sods
weeds and such matters. On clay
loan soil about fifty bushels per acre
is generally used every time the
ground is laid down to grass. Fresh
burned lime, exposed in the field in
small heaps of few bushels, until it
slakes down to powder, is the most
effective. The refuse limo from the
kilns is worth only half as much as
the best lime, because it Is lumpy and
cannot be brought into as fine a con-
dition. Gas lime is not worth any"
thing but the coat of hauling, as it
must be exposed to the air for several
months to get rid of noxious impure
ties which are hurtful to vegetation.

COFFEE AS A DIsENFECTANT.-
Roasted coffee, says the Homeopathic
World is one Of the most powerful
means, not only of rendering animal
and vegetable matter innocuou8 but
Of destroying them. In proof Of this
the statement is made that a room, in
which meat in an advanced degree Of
decomposition has been kept for some
time, was instantly deprived Of all
smell on an open coffee rooster being
carried through the room containing
pound of newly roasted coffee and
in another room, the etlluyium coca
stoned by the cleaning of a cess-pool,
so that sulpheratad hydrogen and am
monia could be clearly detected, was
entirely removed on the employment
of three ounces Of freshly burnt cof-
fee. Refrigerators sometimes get mus
ty from flesh, or fowl kept in them
too long. No remedy for purifying
such receptacles, so simple as burnt
coffee, can be employed.

FARM vs.. City LIFE.--An aged
correspondent of Of the Maine Far
mer gives the following "short histo-
ry" Of the familysof one Of his neigh
bors. "He had a family Of three
boys and three girls-all are now liy-
ing and have families. One Of the
SONS and one of the daughters went to
Boston to seek their fortune when
they became of age, while the Others
remained and settled as farmers and
farmers wives, within few miles Of
the paternal roof. In their younger
days the Boston couple would oeca-
sionally visit their old birth place,
and by their fine clothes AMI a liberal
display Of jewelry, became almost an
envy of US country boys-we inlerring
that Boston WAS good place to get
rich speedily. Twenty years have
passed away-the boys and girls who
settled down in Maine have fine,
thrifty farms, well stocked, nice farm
buildings, are out of debt, enjoy all
the comforts Of life, and, in fact are
what is known as "well-to-do' fami,
lies. Being in Boston a few months
since, l called to see my old neigh
bors. They resided in hired tene-
ment houses, in the fourth story, on a
narrow and confined street, and COM
planned of very dull times, with but
little employment and small compen'
sation for labor; and they informed
me that if it were not for assistance
rendered by their brothers and sisters
in the country they could not make a
living during the present dull times. "
