THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
The policy - of the 'in-coming administra
tion, on . the 4th of March next, is now sub
ject matter for anxious speculation by both
parties. The Democratic Baltimore platform
is supposed to embody the dominant princi
ples of, the. party, and hence to foreshadow,
.1
fp the main, the official course of President
PIERCE. The New-York Herald, one of his
most ardent supporters in the late campaign,
assumes to predict what will be done, on his
taking possession of the White Douse, as
follows:
The duties of the home administration of the go
vernment consist of two great divisions : first, the
distribution of "the loaves and fishes ;" and, se
condly, the system of legislative measures pursued
in Congra , s. ,Ia both branches, but ,especially in
regard to the division of the spoils, there-is much
anxiety and some alarm ; and there will be a vast
amount of rivalry, contention, wrangling, vexation,
and disappoiatment.-
A There are-from-twenty to twenty-five thousand
officeS, of all kinds, under the control of the Presi
dent, =gun; from two and three hundred dollars a
year to eight or ten thousand, that are considered
-worth having. Applications will doubtless be made
as soon-as wanted for every one of these; and for
those which rangp from a thousand a year and up
wards, the pressure may be estimated with certain
ty in the exact ratio,of the hungriness of the unter
rifted Demociacv. After an absolnte fast,' or an
almost total .excfusion even from the droppincs of
the treasury table; nothing but a terrific rush can
be expected when the table is replenished and the
half-famished outsAers are invited to walk in and
take their seats according to their tickets. -Some
bitter enemy of- John Randolph, on one occasion,
summed up his personal appearance in the follow
tug pointed and graphic couplet :
"The fiend is lean, and long, and lank,
And moves upon a spindle shank"—
Which is pretty mobil at this time, froth their hard
fast, the physical condition of the invincible Demo
cracy, never so completely invincible as with nun
tystomachs and an abundance of , provisions to the
enemy's camp. And this state otabings justifies no
other presumption than this: that when the camp
is captured, the provender will beeppropriated with
out remorse, and as fast as possible.
The Herald, then, predisTs a thorough
change among the offid-holdirs, beginnmg
the removals, early, and promptly following
hem up. till the Taylor and Fillmore Whigs
are effectually weeded front the political
patch: It intimates that the President might
incline to a different course; but thinks the
force of the outside pressure irresistible—
the case oF-Gederal Taylor is cited as con
firmatory• of this opinion. Nothing, there
fore, but a •clean sweep" is to be expected.
from Alpha to Omega—"from the Collector
of the Port of New-York to the Deputy Post
master at Kalamazoo." So the Whigs may
take warning in time and stand from under.
As to the legislative 'Measures of the ad
miniitration,.relating to the domestic affairs
of the country, the Herald thinks the Demo
cratic platform is fully -exponential—it con
tinues:
We have every reason to believe that General
Pierce, from every consideration of inclination. prin
ciple and duty, will adhere to the party p'atform.—
We mat then very safely predict that the tariff of
1646, which has worked - so.. well, will be perfnit
led to remain substantially as it is, unless thepro
gressive doctrines of free trade shouldiktriperiously
demand some mitigation of those dutioslathich op
erase more to the protection of a few monopo.te,.
than the replenishment of the treasury. We may
take it or granted that there will be no extravagant
appropriations made for. rivers and harbors, as the
antecedents of Gen: Peirce all have a decided lead-
ing to 4 rigid construction of the constitution upon
-. those things. The sub-treasury will, of course, re
.F-'-main untouched, the living law of the land. The
N rampromise measures will be enforced, including
articularly the Fugitive Slave Law. This was
-• most prominent issue, and the most important.
9 ... s the late election. We may expect, ton, the adop
- it nof some general system of reduction and gra•
non of the prices of the publiciands, unless the -
Senate this winter should pass the bills already pas
' sed by the House, one for the grant of some 65,-
000,000 of acres, and their distribution among the
several States, and one for the grant of the entire
public demand to actual settlers in small farms. In
the event of the passage of this last bill Gen. Pierce
will be saved all further trouble in regard to the
public lands ; and they will also cease to be an ob
lect for railroad, canal, plank road, and other stock
3tobbing operations in the valley of the Mississippi.
We must wait, upon the land questions, the action
of the Senate upon the aforesaid important hills,
and especially the Free Farm bill, before anything
can be even conjectured in relation to the policy of
the new administration upon the land question.
To sum up—we apprehend that the appointment
policy of Gen. Pierce will be the policy of provi
ding for his own party household to the exclusion
of the Whigs. - " The man that does not provide
• for his own household is worse than an infidel."—
But we conclude that the work will not begin, be
yond the cabinet and the diplomatic corps, till after
the fourth of March next. We suppose, that in
reference to the measures of the domestic policy'of
Gen. Pierce, they will be plain and .simple as the
Baltimore platform, which simply covers the great
principles of retrenchment, reduction and Free
Trade.
Here we have the whole thing in a nut
shell, and from the source, and taking at the
same time the matersel into consideration,
we may presume upon its general correct
neu.
As to the foreign policy of the President
elect, upon which the Herald is silent for
the present, we may, judging froth the signs
of the times, predict with approximate cer
tainty that international rights will occupy a
large share of consideration, under the new
administration ; and we believe that in no,
other respect is the , election of Mr. Pierce
ominous for more evil to the country than
in the change of foreign policy it will almost
surely bring about. Depend upon it the words
of Kossuth, in his speech at Albany—though .
wild and speculative as he frequently was=
will be but too literally_ fulfilled,—"lt is ma
thematically sure," said he on that occasion,
" that it is the next' administration during
which the future of this great_ Republic, its
security and its far:her rising or its decline
will be decided. it is notlhe ilavery ques
tion nor the Compromise, nor any other in
ternalquestion,highly Important asit may be:
but it is the question of foreign policy which
you will have to decide.',' This doctrine of
intervention has not been formally incorpo
rated into the Democratic faith, but it evi
dently finds favor in the sight of Young
America," as exactly suiting its .. progres
sive" notions, and we, morever, observe the
• Perassyloartan and similar Democratic prints
censuring the conservative wisdom of the
present administration.
fig way of conclusion, we may appropri
ately append an article from a late number of
the London Times, which very' correctly an
ticipates the'poli . ey, domestic and foreign, of
the new administration, and at- the same
pays a deserved compliment to the official
ability of President Fmr,starta—it readi as
follows:
UM
4: I
As General Piece is known to be fat'orable to
low tariffs and liberty of trade, no doubt can be en
-
pertained that the period during which be may pro-„
bebly conduct the affairs of the United States will
witness a vast and rapid extension of their own re
- sources and of their relations with this country.—
, On the score of the international policy of the Gov
ernment no apprehensions need be entertained ; but
we confess that we do not feel equal confidence in
the foreign policy of the AmericanGovernmentAnd
it will require an unusual amount of firmness - and
prudence m the new President,whoever he may be,
to resist the extreme pressure from without which
seems ready to take the most extravagant and law
less enterprises under the sanction of popular omni
potence. The American people arc, no doubt, all
powerful at home, but when they proceed to mix ja
the aura of other countries, they must be content
to and obey those general laws which

PENNSYLVASUL kLECTION
Between thi4ast October and November
Elections;we r amber, several times, show
ing a large deficit in the Whig poll at the
State Election and figuring up bow mach
that vote would be increased in November,
if the Whigs only came out. We do not
now introduce the matter, by way of re
crimination, but simply to show that ,
, our
calculations were correct, and that the re
sult of the contest as anticipated, was
thwarted by the interferen6e of other causes,
than 'hose considered in our reckoning.
The aggregate votes of the State in 18-18,
851 and 1852 were as follows
1848. 1851. 1952
President. Governor. Canal Com. Presid't
Dem. 172,186 186,499 171,551 190,534
Whig, 185,730 179,034 151,599 179,743 -
F. S., 11,177. 3,061 8,860
N. A. 8,099 1,148
Total, 369,093 364,533 334,110 '399,295
Upon examination of these figures, it will
be seen that a much larger vote was polled
at the last Presidential .contest than at any
former period. It will also be observed that
on the 2d of Novemlitr, the Whigs polled
7,192 more votes than were polled on the
second Tuesday of October for the Democrat
ic Canal Commissioner, although said Com
missioner was elected on that occasion by up;
wards of nineteen thousand majority ; and
farther, that on the second Tuesday of Octo
ber, the Whig vote was 151,599, wheiias
on the second of November, it was 179,143,
thus exhibiting an increase of 28,144. In
other words, upwards'of 28,000 Whigs' and
'Conservatives neglected to vote on the sec
ond Tuesday of October. The aggregate vote
at the Presidential Election was 389,285, and
the probability is, that if all who ,were enti
tled to the privilege had exercised the elec
tive franchise, the aggregate would have
reached 400,000.
NEBRASKA AND KANSAS.
It.is expected that an effort will be made
in the next Congress, to organize two new
territories, Nebraska and Kansas. The foi
ruer takes its name from the Indian tide of
the Platte river,which flows through its cen
tre. It extends from the fortieth degree of
North latitude to the forty-third, and from
the Missouri river to the Rocky mountains,.
including an area of 180000 square Miles.—
It already contains many white settlements.
The soil is said to be rich and the country
generally inviting. The Kansas territory
is so called from the river of that name, flow
mg through it. It is bounded by the Great
Platte river on the North, the Arkansas on
the South. by, the Western boundaries of
3lissouit, lowa and Arkansas on the East,
and the Rocky mountains on the West;—
thus comprising within its limits much of
the land claimed by the advoctes of Nebras
ka. Whether or not the next Congress set
tles their boundaries and regularly organizes
them ^ as additional terntorieS, certain it is
the 'day is not far- distant when they will be
So adaiitted into the Union.
TEE EO,NAPARTE FAMILY.
The movements of the French people are
now watched with eager anxiety over, the
whole.world, and especially whatever relates
to the history or fortunes of the. Bonaparte
fitoily- `invested with peculiar interest in
public,estimation, since the late accession of.
Napoleon III: He is still un:narried, and
the conditions establishing the Empire
require hirn ;in case of his leaving nu male
heir, to choose his successor, from the legiti
mate male children and descendants of his
uncles, the brothers of Napoleon thelireat.
It, therefore, becomes interesting to reckon
the chances.nf the lucky " cousin," by look
ing up the line of the faintly. The surviving
members; tho' not numerous, never helm
number more than the urbons In the
new work entitled " The Napoleon Dy
nasty ; or, the History• of the Bonaparte
Family,' by the Berkley Men," we find ela
borate genealogical statements, and a list
of surviving members of the Bonaparte fam
ily, from which we make up the following:
"Joseph Bonaparte,"the elder brother of Napo
leon, had no son, but two daughters, one otwhom
married her cousin, 'Charles Lucien, Prince of Ca
nino.
The surviving sons of Lucien, second brother of
Napoleon, are
1. Charles 'Lucien, Prince of Canino, born at
Paris, May • 24, 1803. He .was President of the
Constituent • Assembly of the Roman Republic in
1849. For a nuiriber of years he resided in this
country, and is author of a great work on ornitho
logy. In 1822 he 'married his cousin Charlotte,
(daughter of 'Joseph Bonaparte,) by whom he has
eight children—three sons And five daughters. The
family reside in Italy.
1. Louis Lucien, son of Lucien, and brother of
the Prince of Canino, Was born Januiry 4, 1813.
3. Pierre Napoleon another son, of Lucien, born
September 12, 1815. 'He was member of the late
National Assembly of the French Republic.v
The sons of Charles Lucien, Prince of dantrio,
are—,
1. Joseph Lucien, born February, 1824:
2. Lucien Louis, born November, 1828.
3. Napoleon Gregorie; born February, 1839.
Of the family of Louis, the third brother of Na
poleont; the new_Emperor, Louis Napoleon, is the
only survivor.
Jerome, the only surviving brother of Napoleon
1., and late President of the French Senate, 13 now
sixty-eight years of age. He was born November
15, 1784. While an otlicer in the French navy,
and on a visit to the United . States, in December,
1803, he was married to ,Elizabeth Patterson,
daughter of a wealthy merchant of Baltimore. This
marriage was annulled by i decree of the. Emperor
Napoleon, in April, 1805. Their son by this mar
riage, Jerome NapoleOn Bonaparte, was borti in
England in 1805 and• - tiotv resides, in Baltinore.—
Be inherited a -large estate from his . grandfather,.
Pattbrson„ and married a Baltimore lady, by whom
he has two sons,.one of whom Napoleon Jerome,
lately graduated at West Point, is now a lieutenant
M the 11. S. army. These Agierican Bonapartes,
fathet and' son, are gentlern of modest deport
ment, and void of Ambit! on account of aheir
family pretension,. But it wou d , not be surpris
ing it future events should call the young lieuten
ant to the oth.l. side of the Atlantic, to udth his
~hare in the rising fortunes of the family.
Since her div.ree was proclaimed by the impe
rial
. government of Franez and subs,, nailob
tained by her from the Legislature of Id and,
Mr. Jerome Napoleon. Bonaparte's liza
beth Patterson—has lived an unmarried life, resid
ing with tier friends m,Mitryland, in the enjoyment
of opulence - and thesomety of a refined and intel
lectual citete.
Jerome, the elder, after the divorce married the
daughter of the King of Wurtemburg, by whom he
had two POO3 and one daughter. Of the former,
one survives, namely, Napoleon Joseph, born at
Trieste, September 9, 1822. He was a member of
the late National Assembly of the French Re
public.
The male heirs to the throne of France, after
Louis Napoleon, it appears, therefore, from the
loregoing, are :-
1. Charles Lucien, Prince of Canino, aged 49
years.
2. Louis Lucien, brother, aged 40 years.
3. Pierre Napoleon, do., aged 37 years.
4. Joseph Lucien, eon of Charles Lucien, aged
28 years.
5. Lucien Louis, do., aged 24 years.
6. Napoleon Gregorie, do., aged l3 years.
7. Napoleon Joseph, son of Jerome, aged 30 yes.
To the above may possibly be added the Balti
more Bonapertes, if Lotus Napoleon and the French
Senate should restore them to their rights, of which
'they were derinved, through their mother, by an
unjust decree of the Emperor Napoleon."
AN IRON STEAMBOAT.
A trial of the newiron steamboat Richard
Stockton, intended to ply upon the Delaware,
was made on Tiiesday and resulted very sat
isfactorily. •
.4 This iron boat is the largest tipon the
Delaware, being 270 feet long, 39 feet beam,
10 feet hold, and draws only 4 feet 2 inches
of water. The wheels are constnictedlipon
an entirely new model, differing, from an m
use on vessels =propelled by steam. Dic t
one has a face of 10 feet. and 22 feet diamet
ter. The baketspr paddles are made of cat
iron, and dip perpendicularly into the water,
by means of eccentrics, whirl; as far a* has
been tested, work with admirable precision
and effect. . The design of this wheel is to
avoid the resistatice produced in the otdina
ry wheel in striking diagonally into the wa
ter and lifting it up again, and thus increase
the speed of the boat. The arms andevery
other part of the wheel are wrought iron, the
entire weight of both being 110,834 pounds,
or 55 tons, malting 21i toile for filch wheel.

To Famtnts:—The. place of publication of the
Penna. Farm Journal has been changed from
Lancaster to 'West Chester. The work is now en
tirely under the editorial management of A. M.
Spadgler. It is deserving of a liberal patronage—
every farmer in the State should subscribe, pay for
and regularly read some such periodical, devoted
exclusively to their interests, andwe know Of none
superior, in real merit, to this. Every such sub - -
scriber and reader must become a better Farmer,
by 50 per cent. than his neighbor who neglects his
advantages—he will raise better crops and cattle,
and more of them, and consequently make more
money, besides 'acquiring a useful general acqaint
ance with the agricultural .atrairs of the whole
GM
country.
Agriculture is now becoming a science—it is not
the mere manual or mechanical drudgery it was
fifty or even twenty years ago; and every farmer
who expects to keep pace with the spirit of the
times and advan and elevate his branch of busi
ness, in common th all others, must regard it as
progressive and. ready to jay hold of the latest

THE POOR MAN:
The Hon. Edward Everett, in one of his
beautiful speeches in Boston the other even
ing (at the Ginner to Mr. Baring) argued in
his felicitous style, that there could be no
antagonism between capital and labor. The
'owner of capital, he said, in England or
America, realty reaps the smallest
. portion
of the advantages which flow from its pos
session—he being but a kind of head book
.keeper,or chief clerk to the business commu
nity. He may be as rich as Crcesus, but he
can neither eat, drink nor wear mote than
one'man't portion. Mr. Everett said he re
membered hearing a jest made about Mr.
Astor's property, which contained, he tho't,
a great deal of meaning—a latent, practical
philosophy. Some one was asked, whether
he would be willing to take care of all Mr.
Astor's property--eight or ten millions of
dollars, merely for his board and clothing.—
"No," was the indignant answer; " do you.
think me a fool "Well," rejoined the
other, that- is all Mr. Astor himself gets for
taking care of it ; he's found and that's alt.
The houses, the warehouses, the ships, the
farms which he counts by the hundreds and
is obliged to take care of. are for the accom
modation of others. "But then he has the
income, the rents of all . this mighty proper

annum." " Yes," but he can. do nothing
with his income but build more houses, and

STATISTICS.
We compile the , following intimation'
from various'authentic sourees—the facts, as
here set forth, will no doubt be found late
tooting to all classes of our readers :
Rostonsar IN ildEßlCA.—Mr..Mullen, a
Roman Catholic priest, has published the fol
lowing statistics in the Tablet, showing the
losses Popery has' ustained in America: •
#, The present population of the U. 'States
is about 25,000,000, and of these the Cath
lic Church claims only 1,980,000. From t he
year 1825 to 1844, 1,2.50,000 left Ireland,
000;000 of whom came to America; the pro.
portion of Catholics4mong them may be ve
ry fairly estimated at 800,009. Since that
period to the present, the numbers who emi
grated here from Ireland, at the lowest cal
culation, were 1,500,000 ; and taking the
Catholics as , above, we will have; in nine
years, 1,200,000. A large number (say halt
a million) came from Germany, some from
Italy, France, Belgium, and other countries,
during the last ten years, half of whom were
Catholics, say 250,000. Terelie years ago.
America had a Catholic population (accordink
to Di. England, Bishop of Charlestown) of
1,200,002. Calculating the increase of this
number by births, at the very small number
of 500,000,1 and adding for converts in the
larger cities and towns 20,000, we will have
the following total :
Catholic emigrants - irons the year 1825
to 1844, 800,000
Catholic emigrants from 1844 to 1852, 1,200,008
Catholic emigrants from other countries, 250,000
American Catholic population twelve
years ago,
Incrense ity births since,
Number of converts,
Number who' ought to be Catholics, 3,970,010
Number who are Catholics, 1,980,040
Number lost to the Catholic. Church. 1, 99 01 00 0

CONGREGATIOSISM tie NEW ENGLAND.._
From an article in the Boston Puritan Re
corder, we learn that in the six New Eng
land States, there are 1367 Orthodox Col
gregatiooal Churches. The sum total Ot
members is 153,518, of whom only 49,387
are males. The whole number of ministers
is 1396 ; of these, 284 are without any
charge, and only 757 of them are settled its
pastors. The nett increase of members in
the above churches the past year, was 1631,
which gives but a fraction over one membir
to each church. About one-fihh -of these
churches have neither pastors nor stated sop.

TIM SOIITUr
The National Era, published at Washing,
ton, makes the following explicit declaratiot
of Opinion, which is a very .novel one for art
Abolitionist paper : !
4. There is progress in the South; and, aftei
all, to *horn are we to !oat for the emanci4
pation of the - negro race, if not to its citizens
We declare that our hope for the peaceful re
demption and improvement of the slave poptei
lotion is in the South itself. Congress cat ,
do no more than . withdraw Federal support
from the system t it has no constitutional;
power for its abolition. The free States can-1
not: legislate on the subjec t; their:-citizens
can - do -no more than discuss the qoestion,
and separate themselves poliiicallfitnd Kelt
elastically, from all responsibility for it. Fur,r ,
Hier they have. ncr right to go. • Where, then;
is the hope of the slave ? We may talk of
the tight of resistance, of rebellion, of revo
lution. -
'Our fithers resisted the despotism of Brit
on. They would have been dastards had
they subm itted; they would have deserved
c
chains had they not su eeded.' They , had
r intelligence ; they had tr de-; they had the
mechanic arts; they had llthe.arms and sol
diers ; they had' government ; they bad tree
institutions ; and the Despotisni which op
pressed them was across an ocean three thou
-1 sand miles wide. The Blares have none of
these advantages, and resistance by them
would result in a war of horrible extermi
nation.
Where, then.'we again ask, is the hope of
the slave'? So far as we can see, it isomder
God, , in the free citizens of the - South.--
Peaceful, successful Emancipation must be
their work. The Public Opinion that shall
originate the movement, carry it finward,
shape it, direct it. accomplish it, wisely and
beneficially for all concerned; must be a
Southern Public Opinion:" ,
PINE COAL BROUGHT INTO UNE.
The'Cumberland (Md.) Miner: Journal
says Until recently there was considerable
loan in the Cumberland , Coal taken to north
ern Markets, in consequence-of ignorance
as to the proper mode of using the fine por
tion of it. The coal had to bescreened, and for
a long time only the lumps could be dis po-•
sed of to any advantage. Hence there' was
an accumulation of fine coal in the yards,
which' it was itipposed was of no value.
Bui now matters have taken ti turn. The
fine coal is not only in great demand , for
blacksmithing purposes,but the engineers of
locomotive rind stationary engines regard it
of equal if not greeter value than the coarse,
for the generation of steam. The
. prejudiee
against fine coal is fast disappearing, and
by, this means the amount consumed will be
very much increased."
QT Tae NEW War Times, bra macula- .
tioti, makes the amount.of the debl of the
United Stater: $270,000,000. The minimum
estimate of that portion of the above owed or
advanced on abroad, is as follows :
r Federal loans, $40,000,000; State loins,
$42,000,000 ; City loans aad bonds, $24,000,-

SU Sorts anb
Irrharease of German Emigranon.=-The
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says that
there has been a large and steady increase
of German emigration for the last quarter
of a century. According to the St. Louis
Republican, in 1822 it numbered only 2,200;
until 1830 there; was but one season when
it amounted to 45,000. In 1832. it rose to
24,000 ; in 1837, to 33,000, but fell in 1843
to 23,000; the number then of persons who,
during the decade closing with the year,
went beyond seas in search of a better tor,
tune, averaged about 19,000 annually. Froni
that time forth there has been _a rapid in
crease in the extent of the emigration. In
1844; Germany sent out in round numbers
44,000 emigrants; in 1845, 67,000; is 1846
and '47 (the same year, more than 106,000;
in 1849.'49 and '.50, the years of the rev
olutionary disturbance and political proscrip
tioo, from 80,000 to 90,000;in 1851 some
thing more than 113,000 ! It is calculated
that these emigrants have carried out of
Germany capital to the value of $80,000,-
000.
11:7' A Giant and Giantess.—At Plaistow,
in Esasex county, England, there at pre
sent resides a woman, aged 20, who stands
six feet four inches in height ; the middle
finger on either hand measures six inches ;
the length of her arm is twenty-eight inch
es. it is within the last three or four years
she has attained her present extraordinary
height. There is every indication that fwo
or three inches will be added to her pres
ent stature. The Kentish giant, Edward
Crausar, is paying his addresses to this
young woman, and they will probably be
married. Cramer is only nineteen years of
age, and stands seven feet six inches. His
father and mother are below the middle su
ture, and his sisters are dwarfish.

a:7' The Bequest to Queen Victoria—lt
may, perhaps, be recollected that an eccen
tric and aged bachelor,of the name of Weild,
died in England about three months since,
possessed of property to the amount, as is
estimated, of two and a half millions of dol
lars, the whole of which he bequeathed- to
the Queen. Oa the will being presented
for Probate, opposition was mide,which has
since been withdrawn, and the will has
been proved, but in the recent English pa
pers we see it stated that the Queen will
probably not accept the bequest, but wilt
cause it to be divided amongst the heirs of
the testator, who, however,„are distant.
ccr important LegarDectsion.—The New
York Express learns that at a recent trial
before a Referee in that city, a lady was
called upon to testify inl regard to certain
transactions of her deceased husband. •In
the course of the suit, she was interrogated
by the counsel as to some . matters that oc
curred during their courtship, To this the
opposing counsel objected, and was sustained
by the Referee, who argued that ladies
should not be expected to reveal any of the
delicate secrets pertaining to:the process of
wooing..
rib California contains four hundred thou
sand square miles. This would give eight
States, as large as New York State, fifty as
lame as New Jersy. andfifty-seven as large
as Massachusetts. With a population equal

fornia would support eighteen millions of
inhabitants; if equal to New York. twenty
millions ; and if equal to Massachusetts, for

present population of the entire• United States.

three children at one birth. a year ago ; and
as her landlord was a wholesouled gentle
man, he gave the lady fifty dollars as , an ac
knowledgment of her superior skill in house
hold affairs, telling her at the same time,that
if she would perform that feat again he
would give hera
farm. -
With an eye probably on the farm, Mjust
eleven months from the day that the three
were born, she produced a pair of twins.
The landlord said she failed to win the
farm, but the Intention no doubt being fair,
the attempt was worth paying for, and he
therefore presented her with one hundred
dollars. •
