AN ECCENTRIC FARMER.-An exchange
says that New Britain township, Bucks coun-
ty, contains an eccentric old farmer by the
name of Elias Black, who believes in keeping
everything on his place. He has not sold any
hay for years, and his barn being full, he
stacks it on the fields where it rots down in
time. Some of his hay stacks have so wasted
away that they now are no larger than oldi-
nary hay cocks. He never threshes more
grain than he can use, and the rest is allowed
to stand in the stacks Tor the mice and the
vermin to feed on. One field of about four
acres is literally covered with stacks, some
of them fully fifteen years old. Over two
hundred stacks may be counted on the place
Our informant who recently drove past the
place, says it is the most novel sight he ever
witnessed on a farm to see hundreds of stacks
all closely huddled together reminding one of
the pictures we see of an Indian Ledge or an
African Kraal. His neighbors say he is well
off and does not need the money for his crops
and hence is permitted to humor his whims.

New HoPE M. E. CHURCH. The festival
held in the church on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings, of last week, was a sue
cess, beyond all expectation. The clear prof
its amounted to $3.50. 70,-which will be used
for the benefit of the church. The weather
was quite COOL and, taking the 'thard times
into consideration, the result was quite flat
tering to the ladies and others who had the
project under their direction. A fine cake
was presented to the Rev. Amos johnson, on
Friday night. Mr. James Mullineaux made a
neat presentation speech, which was appropri-
ately responded to by the pastor. The Com
mittee feel thankful to the public generally
for the lberality displayed.
The regular quarterly meeting services of
the church were observed on Sunday. In the
morning, at 109 O'Clock, the congregation was
favored by an even more than usually elo-
quent sermon from the pastor, on the subject
Of g Christ the Only Personifcaton of God, +"
and in the evening the congregation listened
to an able discourse from the Presiding Elder,
DR.. John +. Chaplain subject" Gods
Great Gifts to the World"
On Monday evening" the first Quarterly Con-
ference of the present year was held in the
church.
Communion services will be held in the
church on Sunday morning next.

Manufacturing Soldiers Out Of Boys.

The London Times advocates enlisting
boys Of IA to 16 years, and keeping
them in II trainings school until they
shall have attained sufficient strength
and knowledge of their duties to render
them fit to take their places in the
ranks, appears worthy of serious con-
sideration. Says the PdNMaH Gazette ::
At the present time, some 5000 boys
are being trained for the navy, and by
far the greater number of the sailors
who now man our men-of.war originally
entered the naval service rs boys. The
plan of enlisting boys having, therefore,
answered SO well in one service, the
question naturally suggests itself, Why
should not some similar system be
adopted. or Mt all events be tried. in the
other? At the age of 20, laboring
man has, rs it was stated by Mr.. Hardy

The Extinction of Species.

The extinction of many animals that
are known to have formerly existed on
the earth is a subject which cannot
very easily be explained, says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, while the number of
them is greater than at first sight would
be supposed. Various species no doubt
undergo gradual extinction by changes
which deprive them of their accustomed
food; but others seem to die out from
unknown causes. During the historic
period of a considerable number of ami
mails have been swept off the British Is
lands, among which are the bear, and
wolf, the Irish elk, etc. In America.
during the comparatively short period
Of its history various species have van
ished, and others are following them.
The beaver, formerly so generally spread
over the whole of this country, is now
only to be found in remote regions.
The dee., and moose are disappearing
in the same manner The bison is very
much diminished in numbers, and
must ere long become extirpated. The
mastadon, creature Of enormous bulk,
has totally disappeared, although, along
with the skeletons of them which have
been discovered, there are evidences OF
their having lived on food derived from
plants which ale still existing. In other
parts Of the world. the dodo and the
moa have persisted within the last few
centuries; and the apteryx is undergo
