Water Tight Match Box Wanted.

Bishop, who made thousand mile voyage in paper canoe, says that R. B. Forbes, of Boston, once gave him a water tight pocket match box, tlsat he lost it, and was never able to find an- other. Thousands of hunters canoeists. and others have hunted and longed for match box that would be water tight one that would preserve it's contents dry even though the owner was com pelled to take a swim with the box in the pocket of his pants, and the pants on the swimmer. An upset in the wilderness or on the coast, away from dwellings, often destroys every match Q man has with him, and places him in a position of great danger.
 Though match boxes are made in in numerable styles, we have never been able to find one which was suitable for carrying matches in the pocket and would at the same time protect them from water. There are some difficulties in the way of inventing such an article, because when carried in tho pocket the air within the box is rarefied by the heat of the body. When the box is plunged into cold water partial vacuum is formed, and this aids in forcing water through the joints.-Scientific American.

Entertainment at MIR, j. ID. Gardeners
(Reported far the Reacon.l

Messrs. Editors Since have so soon
to speak of another festal occasion, il
would seem that the young people of this
vicinity are determined to reap their har-
vest Of fun, before the advent Of the Len
ten season.
The Joyous event in question took place
on the night of the 18th instant, at the res
idence of Mr.. j. b. Gardiner. A large
company OF the young and fair of this and
other parts of our county arrived carly
in the evening eager with expectation and
impatient to enjoy the delights of that an
cient and universal pastime, the dance.
Soon, the sweet melody of the violin
gives happy signal to the gay gathering,
and moment later, lively ladies and hand
some gentlemen are lost in a delirium Of
felicity, as they move in exquisite harmony
with the music. On they dance, oblivious
to the fight of time, and as light of heart
as the lark that scars aloft at early dawn
BY degrees, the sense Of fatigue creeps
upon them, but is shortly relieved by the
stimulating egg-nog and apple-toddy.
New life now beams from every counten-
ance, and ell indulge with increased ami.
nation in their darling diversion.
About midnight, the guests are seated
round spacious table that groans under
the bounty of the host; for spread before
them are all the delicacies Of the season,
seryed-up in the most approved styles, that
at once delight the eye and please the pal
ate. Refreshed by the delicious viands,
they soon yield themselves to the dizzy
twirl of the dance, and once more merri-
ment and airy cheerfulness' gladden. the
hearts Of all. The festivity is prolonged
until late hour, when all very reluctant
ly depart for their homes, lavish in tEeir
praises of the kind and generous liberality
of the genial host and hostess.

ofNew York, since its organization in 1S43,
has paid is policy-hoiders $272, 4s1 1882.
The wonderful growth Of the Company is
