ExtraOrdtnnryF Feats of a Pastor

There has just died at Patterdale, in Westmorcland, England, q clergyman oi the name of Matheson, aged % and who has been an incumbent of that parish for the long period of sixty years. During the early part of his life his beneiice brought him only e12 or about SG0 year, but this was afterwards increased to elS, or about S90 year, which it never ex- ceeded says a London exchange. On this he married. brought up four children, and lived comfortably with his neigh bors educated son at the university and left s. .OOO behind him.
 With that singular simplicity and inat- teution to form which characterizcs a country life, he himself read the burial service over his mother: he married his father to a second wife, ard afterwards buried him also; he published his own banns of marriage ill his church with a woman whom he had previously chris. tened, and he himself solemn:zed the marriage of all his children.

Henry Ward Beech CTS sister.

Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker has been an interesting figure in New York re- gently. The sister of Henry Ward Beecher sat on tho grand stand not far from the president during the parade on the second day of tho centennial, the ticket which entitled her to that position having been coaXed out of the committee without money and without price by the princess of wheedlers, Mary Seymour HoS ell. the lecturer and manipulator of legislatures. Mrs. Howell tied tho vel low ribbon of woman suffrage fast in up the steps to Haunt that little emblem right under the eyes of Harrison.
 From her conspicuous position, Mrs. Rockers likeness to Bcecher was very noticeable and often remarked on. The outlines of the face, the nose and the shape of the forehead are almost identi- cal. Mrs. Hooker has her brothers eyes, but her hair has not whtenei as did the preachers. It is still dark ami abundant and Is gathered in an oid-fashioned knot behind and fastened by an antique high backed tortoise-shcll comb. Mrs Hooker is one of the brightest and decidedly the most eccentric of the bright and eccentric Beccner family. She wears always a lit tie reticu;e fastened to her side and looks like bright-eycd. decidedly energetic and very clever little grandmother Her last public appearances in New Noi, were made two years ago, when sile n,a,ie ad- dresses advocating the appointment of women as policemen and other equally sweeping innovations. -Ph fla | lip Il i a Times.

Tho End Of tho Shakora,

The private sale by the south family of Shakers of their entire property in En- field, N. H.. consisting of 300 acres of land and all their buildings, is a matter of considerable importance. The pur- chasers are John M. Corse, postmaster of Boston and Walter c. Hartman, of War ner. N. H., who represent a syndicate. Tho price paid Is $3O, ,OOO. The property is intended for an extensive stock farm, and is we'll apapted for that purpose. The south family will now unite with the first or middle family, and, excepting two or three aged men. consists of women and children.
 This sale indicates the final extinction of the Shakers in New Hampshire at an early day. For many years they have gradually been losing ground. their num- bers have been decreasing, and they have been unfortunate financially. Most of their farm work has been carried on by hired labor, which has been expensive and without profit. Appointment Shaker recently expressed his opinion that, as all the societies in the country are much in the same position. unless they early remove to some new section they will soon be annihilated. For many years tho Shakers at Enfield and Canterbury conducted a large business, and their in. fuence has been important in many direc. tion s.-Boston Traveller.

 The Duke of Wellington used to tell . story of Louis XVIII, King of France. The duke was taking Q family dinner with the old king and the princesses of his court, the Duchess of Angouleme and the Duchess of Berri. Upon the table at desert was placed dish of early strawberries. The king deliberately poured them all out into his own plate, covered them with cream ana sugar and ate them, without offering them to the ladies or apologizing for not doing 60.
 Lord Mahon. the historian, on hearing the duke relate this anecdote, capped 1t with another. William III., King of England, dining one day with his wife. Queen Mary, and Princess Anne, after ward Queen Anne, ate the contents of . dish of early peas without a word ot Wellington laughed and said, "Aye. hope 1t Is not royal custom" His guests must have known what he meant by this remark. He had recently gone through many troublesome and some disgusting experiences with that very vulgar and disreputable king, George w., of whom the duke afterward said that che really could ate like a gentle man-for fifteen minutesg

A PERSON who squanders away his fortune in rioting and profuseness is neither just to himself or others; for by u conduct of this kind his opportunities flow in an irregular channel, and those that are the most un. worthy are the greatest sharers of them, who do not fail to censure him when his substance IS exhausted.

A Remarkable Oceurrsnce.

From Putnam county. Fla, comes news of a remarkable occurrence. Some farmers in the field heard 8 tremen. dous rushing sound over their heads, and looking up saw something ''that looked like solid column of fire passing with tremendous velocity through the cir with whirring. hissing sound. It ap- peared to be from eight to ten feet in length and four to five feet in diameter. When first discovered it seemed to be sev- eral hundred feet above the earth, and was inclining in it's course toward the ground, profusely emitting great sparks of fire. an awful explosion took place that shock the earth for miles around and was heard for distance of fifteen miles,"

Captain Elnathan Whittlesey of Green. port, while fishing for sea bass in his lit tie smack Washington of Cornfleld Point Shoal one day recently. caught a thirty. pound cod of the variety known as . tracer" While the fish was being dressed Captain Whittlesey's knife struck a metallic substance, which proved to be a round key check about one inch in diameter bearing the word "Narragan' sett" stamped across its face. A few miles from where the fish was caught the Stonington line steamer Narragansett was run into and sank by the Stoningtou on the night of June II, 1880. Over eighty lives were lost.

Hints on Farm Gardening EARLY Peas

Mr.. Delano Moore, the level-headed
Aroostook seed grower, continues his good
suggestions on farm gardening in the
Pioneer; and it is because we deem his
articles worthy of a wide circulation among
farmers that we reproduce them in our col
umns:
If the ground has become dry before early
peas are planted it might be advisable to
sprout them before planting, if care is taken
that they do not sour; but as round peas are
usually planted first. they can be safely
planted before the grouhd has become warm
and dry
There are many varieties of early peas,
each of which is claimed to be the earliest
but do not know of any earlier than the
Maud S. They have large pods for an
early pea and are of good quality. If
one wants large quantity they may be
followed by Bliss Abundance, Rural New
Yorker, or some other sort not quite as
early with larger pods, planted little
later, but ordinary farmers only need two
varities, the Maud S, and the Telephone.
The latter are classed from second early to
late and are the best pea for main crop
that have seen. A Boston dealer says of
them, This remarkable pea is wet X
earlier than Champion of England; pods
five to seven inches in length and containing
from eight to twelve peas of unequalled flavor !;
3 fit. They only grow TO such proportions
under extra treatment, but with fair chance
their size is enormous, to say the least They
are a wrinkled pea of the best quality. They
need bushing; the Maud S. does very well
without.-Why raise peas of small size, late
in the season, requiring needless amount of
time to pick and she'll them. when you can
just as well raise those large ones OF better
quality? | have not patience to pick more
than mess or two of small ones, but it is
really a pleasure to gather in those long,
large pods, but few of which are required
to fill a basket, and but little land is required
to grow them on.
Edible Podded or Sugar Peas are great
luxury to most every one and should be grown
in every garden. The young, tender pods
are best, but as they are continuous bearers
but one planting is necessary and that need
not be very large. My limited experience
goes TO show that the large broad podded
varieties are the best in quality.

What is this "nervous trouble" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember a few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore fathers
in times past. So it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Bilousness, and
sill are caused by troubles that arise from
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it OF through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
