light loads already.
Parties wishing to get grinding done at

commodated up the 26th of this month, when
the mill will be shut down for about four
weeks.

The Love of a COachman.

The secret marriage of Miss Olivia,
the youngest daughter of Mr.. William
r. Townsend, the well-known publisher
Of No. 1S9 Broadway, with her fathers
coachman. follows so closely upon the
marriage of the daughter of ex-Gov.
Hubbard, of Connecticut, to the family
coachman, that it excites considerable
comment in society circles in this city
and Nyack, the home of the Townsend
family. The Nyack coachman's bride
is much older than her husband, Weeks
plain Jim" Weeks, as he is called
by his acquaintances in Nyack-being
81, while the lady is on the shady side
of 81. She is brunette, dresses ele-
gantly, is graduate of one of the most
prominent Eastern female seminaries,
and was sfavorite in the fashionable
circles of this city and Brooklyn, in
which she mingled prior to the removal
of her parents to Nyack. Weeks is
said to be the sole support of widowed
mother. The romantic statement that
he :" has seen better days" excites smiles
among those who know him. He is
said to have received q common school
education, and has for several years past
earned livelihood in various laborious
avocations in and around the village,
but has always borne an excellent repu-
tation. He is described as plain but
rather prepossessing-looking man-one
whom his acquaintance would never
dream of playing the part of lover to
the heiress of fortune.
Mr.. Townsend is one of the oldest
publishers in this city, and, although he
has made and lost two or three fortunes,
is still a very wealthy man.-NeaO York

Remarkable Preservation Of Yellow
49, No. Fever Germs.

The detailed accounts of the Ply
mouths outbreak of yellow fever show
very remarkable fact. After the
disease broke out on her last November
she was brought to Boston, thoroughly
fumigated and afterward frozen out.
Everything movable was removed at the
time, and all bedding and other matter
of that kind was thoroughly fumigated,
disinfected and frozen. Il In spite of all
this care and cold yellow fever broke
out on her the 23d of March, when she
had reached a warm climate, but before
she. had touched at or been near any
Southern land and while 200 miles at
sea. But the most curious and remark
able fact Of all is that the first man at
tackled, Richard Sanders, machinist, had
his hammonk slung in the precise
place Of the man who first showed
symptoms of yellow fever in Santa
Cruz in November last. This is worthy
of the attention of medical experts, for
it seems to show that the infectious
matter, not only resisted extreme cold,
but that it remained in one place. The
VESSEL lay I'LL 0uc N1utcI LII OOotOA,
where everything known to sanitary
science was used to disinfect her of the
yellow fever. She was entirely broken
out, all the stores landed and exposed
to freezing temperature and the ship
thoroughly fumigated several times. A
part of the time the ship was in dock,
where large quantities of ice remained,
and the temperature frequently reached
a point below zero. The water in the
tanks and buckets in the storerooms
was constantly frozen, and when she
was removed from the dock and fires
lighted under her boilers she was SO
thoroughly chilled that for several days
the water remained frozen in her bilges.
When the Plymouth left Boston all
men of weak constitution or suscept-
ible to climatic influences were removed
from her and she went to sea with a
crew entirely healthy.-Ne,c York

Trees and Shrubs for the Lawn.

There must be catholic taste shown
in selecting plants, if the lawn is to be
properly laid out. The tendency to
follow mere fancies, or to use particular
and favorite plants, must be kept in
strict allegiance. Many and various
plants should be employed intelligently.
Hardy deciduous trees, shrubs, ever
green's, herbaceous and bedding plants
in short, everything that conduces
to the beauty of the lawn, must be
united into one harmonious whole.
Doubtless there are occasions when a
mass of color, obtained by using many
plants of one kind, is desirable, but
generally variety of plants and meth
DDS of combination is more desir-
able. The eye thus never becomes
stated, and is ever renewing its pleasure.
But what is the actual condition of lawn
planting as practiced to-day on myriads
of small places throughout the country
places, moreover, that belong to in
teligent people? The entire collection
consists frequently of few fruit-trees
in the background, an elm, a. Norway
spruce, an arbor vitae hedge, with q bed
of the glowing coleus. All these plats,
be it noticed, are of the most pro
nounced and coarsest type, They may
be and are valuable in suitable positions
or in other combinations, but are
decidedly illftted for the interior Of

their beauty and their habit of excess,
i've growth. We intend no disrespect
fer either of these varieties, many Of
their qualities being. in their own way,
most admirable; but we do say that
if other and good selections were made
after studying parks or nurseries, fewer
poor lawns would exist. Were this
the general practice, the ubiquitous tree
dealer, with his wonderful plates OF
impossible plants, would be forced to
seek for pastures new, and leave the

A Strange Menagerie.

A menagerie of ants is kept by Sir
John Lubbock, of England. About
forty kinds are In separate nests under
glass, and surrounded by water to pre-
vent their running over the house.
Among these ants kind of blind beetle
lives, which is taken as much care of as
if it we're their own young. All ants are
not great workers. The large red ones
found in Central Europe, the females,
are lazy fighters, and go out against
other kinds Of ants, and bring them
home as slaves. They never build
houses, or take care Of their baby-ants,
nor prepare their own food. They have
become SO helpless by being aristocrats
for SO long, that if deprived of their
slaves they soon die.

counted the grains N several OF the heads
and found that they ranged from forty 70

fifty, which is low, the whole number then
would be three thousand and three hundred.
Dir. Knight carefully cleaned the wheat from
