"The owner expects to go to the legislature, next winter," said Mr. Jackson. ! "1 don't know what that has to do wiihliis corn looking so yellow. Mr. James took the premium for the first field of corn the I j same year he went to the assembly." I Mr. Jackson was a mau who was averse to saying anything against his neighbors ; so ! he did not enlighten Mr. Lovell as to tho connection between poor corn, and an expec ted seal in the legislature. , "'Let us go acioss the fields ; we shall save half a mile or so by that means. J he two nt islibors were on Uicir way to the liotisc of a lone widow, whose little corn, field required some attention which she was not able to bestow.

Mr, Bradford was for many years one of the most industrious farmers in the place. Few men. raised belter crops, lew better cat tle, or kept bis fences and buildings in better repair. Few men minded their own uusi i ncss better, and were more generally respect 'ed. Things were thus going on well with ' him, till in an evil hour he was nominated t for suoervisorbv one narty, and no opposi- . ' . ' .i - '. l. .t. uon was made to tne nomination oy me inner . That to him very unexpected event hap- pened on this wise, i ne pawiotic icauers oi the dominant paity could not agree among themselves as lo w ho should serve tho pc - pie in the offices of the current year. They ihereforc were obliged to seject a man who had no claims. The opposite parly thought it useless to make any opposition. So he was elected by almost a unanimous vok'. Many honest men who were not in the habit of go- ing to elections, turned out to vote for a man tor. Wo have already seen something of its ' influence on his farmmc.

His political expenence was ot vast service to him, and we hare recorded H for the bene fit oi others.
