1t lately came to light In the En-

Pound had lived with two wives for
fifteen years He divided his time be-
tween them, and each thought when he
was absent that he was away on busi-
ness He was on the happiest terms
with them both. He passed with one
wife as Mr.. jackson. and bequeathed
her money under that name. 1t was
agreed that the property he acquired
under the name of Pound should 90 to
wife Pound, and that under Jackson to
wife jackson. But for his testamentary
dispositions the women would probably
have been in ignorance of the real state
OF things TO this hour.

wholes highest and largest in every

In each plot thus planted that has
come under my observation has this
been true. and have noted that almost
invariably the plots having the largest
seed pieces produced the largest tops.
Further, in the fall, as the potatoes were
dug and exposed side by side, each row

We issue to-day the first number Of
the semi-wcckly edition Of the HERALD.
For some time we have found that the

they are, were quite insufficient to con

and well-written communications from

wished to present to our readers. So
last week we issued q number Of fifty
per cent larger than the usual size and

variety Of reading matter, local, gener-
al and literary. But it has occurred to
