In one of tho factories in Maine, recently, the proprietors reduced the wages, whereupon there was general determination to strike, and as they are obliged to give a month's notice before quitting work, they have in the mean time issued a circular to the world at large, in w hich is the following interesting paragraph: "We are now working out our notice, and shall soon be without employment ; can turn our hand to most anything; don't like to be id! The "Weather. An old felJo.v who could "beat all creation" swearing, was one day seen wending Ids way to market with a load of a&hes, when the hind gate of his wagon became unhinged, and trui whole contents were scattered, along the road. The old fclloa "s mishap was discovered by a lot of boys, w ho knew his propensity for swear- in' and who .followed him ur. with the ex- i peetatiqn. of hearing "something rich" in the way of oaths, when he should discover , the extent of his misfortune. At length he ! made tlie discovery, and dismounting from ; his ''saddle horse," stood with arms akimbo I for a few seconds, viewing the '-wreck of matter," sui then turned on his heel, re marking, that ;Ue could not do jus tice to the subject." And just in the same category are we in regard to the wea ther. Not that wehave any idea of swear Jug but language is inadequate to the task ot describing the extent of the cold and our feelings in consequence thereof. I Columbia Tenn. Banner. iCT Mrs. Partington thinks it "rather queer" that the fall ing of a little quicksilver in a glass tube should make the weather so awful cold. Z3FA chap in Vermont turned New Year's day to some little account. Hecrossed the "line," and drank three glasses of French brandy. He immediately returned home and charged his neighbors twelve and a half cents to smell bis breath. Our informant says that he made nineteen dollars in three hours. IW A tipsy fellow, who was seated on the box with a stage-driver, swayed back ward and forward, till he tumbled oft. "There he exclaimed, as he went down, "I knew vou would upset if you didn't take care. On being told that they had not up set "not upset," he echoed in amazement, "if I'd known that, I would not have got off!" '.W A man who goes to church to chow tobacco and spit on the floor ought to be ta ken by the head and heels and thrown out of the house. A Vermont Postmaster has been inquiring of the deqartment the meaning of the little "picture stuck on the letters ; another offi cial, in Iowa, desired the department to sus tain him in a decision he bad recently made against a "fellow" who insisted that 'them pictures of Washington on the letters paid the postage." Ur An Irishman called at our office one day with an advertismcnt, and like aprudent man, inquired what it would cost. He was informed that for one insertion, the price would be $2 ; subsequent insertions, 75 cents each. "An' faith," said he, "I'll only have two subsequent insertions!" tj?" At the annual supper of tho bache lors of Cleveland, a few nights since, one of the toasts was, "Our future wives dis tance lands enchantment to the view." ESP Mrs. Partington advises all young people afflicted with preparation of the hear to apply the cataract of mustard to draw out the information, and she says she has never known a failure where this advice was followed. y A Very Loquacious female witness, whom the opposing coun sel could not silence, so far kept him at bay, that by way of brow beating her he exclaimed, "Why, woman, there is brass enough in your face to make a kettle !" "And sauce enough in yours to fill it," she promptly rejoined. A land operotor in a town on the Lukes, advertises real estate, "in lots to stii the size of the purchaser." AVu A.

The (tew method of thorns fruit trees by naming tu,-. qcions, is a great desideratum ill th i.:t f when they are required to Btnni, and the labor of one day will be sufli cient to plant enough for a lanra orchard alter the scions are obtain, d. The method of preparing the plant is as follows : Take the scions as for grafting, and at any time after the first of February, and until the buds begin to grow eoiisidcrahly, and put each end of tlu ahoot raising good fruit. It lias many advantages over grafting, because it is more expeditious und requires no stock nor tree. They may be planted in melted pitch, was, or tallow, und bury it in the ground, the budd uppermost, while the body lies in a borioutai p.-iriou, at the depth of two r tl,,-,.,. ches. We are informed that trees obtained in this way, will beur in three or four years from the time of planting. We have no doubt id the practicability of this method of raising fruit.
