The schedules of U. S. Grant, Ferdinand
Ward, U. c. Grant, Jr., and James ID. Fish,
comprising the firm of Grant & Ward, who
made an assignment for the benefit of creditor:
to Julien F. Davies, have been filed in the

tiles are shown to be 6,792.72, the nominal
assets $27, 1872 09S.56, and the actual assets
$67 l74.3O. The assignee's explanatory state
ment in regard to tie extraordinary discrep.
ancy between the assets and Liabilities and the
difficulties he had to contend with in making
up the schedules shows n record of almost in
credible rccklessness and folly.

Farming in Alaska.

Farmers will not rush to Alaska. The
method of cultivating the potato there is
peculiar. The ground is dug up and
covered with layer of kelp, and after
this fertilizer has been exposed to the
air for week or two, it is dug under,
and the soil is shaped into high, narrow
beds, and planted in shallow drills. The
sua's heat alone is depended upon, and
every opportunity must be given it to
penetrate the ground, which in that
frigid country not only gives out no
warmth of its own, but frequently re-
mains frozen throughout the year at a
depth beyond the influence of the sun S
rays. This method of farming succeeds
only in favorable seasons.

Mrs. Ensleskindt of Heading, Pa, Ig-
nores All Her Male Relatives.

The strangest will ever recorded in Penn VI
vania was filed recently in Reading 1t is the
will Of Metria j. Engleskindt, in which she
directs that no man be inferred in her burial
lot in the Lutheran cemetery, and ignores all
male relatives in her beque,ts Mrs. Engles-
kindt was native Of Germany, but had resided
in Reading for about nineteen years. Her
husband died twenty years ago, since which
time she remained widow She never, how
ever, showed strong aversion toward men
during her life. She left several houses and
about $4,000 in money. Alderman Hall, who
wrote her will, tried to persuade her to leave
out the clause barring men from being buried
beside her and from enjoying any of the bene-
fits Of her fortune, but the woman's mind was
firm. Her daughter, who resides in New
York, gets the income from all the old wo-
mans property, and when her daughter, Mrs.
Engleskindt's glandchild, gets to be % years
old, she is to receive one Of the houses But
all male grandchildren, should there he any,
are deba red from receiving anything An
old man named Caspar Scharl, who was
servant on the premises, is allowed to occupy
one room in her house rs long as he behaves
himself. What offence the male sex ever gave
her will probably never be known.
