reply as fallows. The fact that the
givers of this advice are bachelors,
does not, we suppose, mitigate against
its soundness:
"Yes and no, dear girls. That de

can manage it, and very useless una

added, in .which cae you have so;ip

little, and may say that love is a sol

is delightful, it is powerful ; but the
trouble is, ihat a great many people ar

housekeeping should be studied under

don't be eager to take time by the fore-

GOLD IX THE WHITE SIOVX
T.4I.S. The W'hite Mouutains.are in dan
ger of being invaded by gold hunters.
According to Profs. Jackson, Hubbard,
aud other geologists, these mountains
contain tha precious metal ia much
abundance. Within the last year, gold
was found at Lisbon and Warren, on
the w estern and southern flanks of the
mountains. It was of such amount and
value that ihe discovery was vigorously
prosecuted, and a five stamp mill was
procured. Companies have been
formed at Boston and New York, as
well as in the neighborhood of the dis
coveries, to prosecute and extend them,
and a report recently made in one of
the Boston papers spoke of the mining
as profitable and likely to be extended
rapidly. It is now reported that discov
eries of rich silver, lead and copper
mines have been made at Foxcraft,
Piscataque county, in Maine. This
town in on Lake Sebec, in the center
of the State, and is about one hundred
a.d fifty miles east from Lisbon. War
ren is about twenty-five miles south
from Lisbon. The White Mountains j
trend in a series of undulations and
lessening peaks to the east, where it
is alleged the latest discoveris have
been made. It is stated that five lode
opened at Foxcraft assay from S250
to S3-50 per ton in silver, each.

Horace Greeley and Gerritt Smith
addressed the people of Richmond on
the night of the 10th. The audience
was about equally divided. Governor
Pierpont was -on the stand.
Mr. Greeley explained the obstacles
thai had impeded reconstruction, be
ginning with the assassination of Abra
ham Lincoln and coming down tol'res
ident Johnson's policy. The obstacle
now was the unwillingness of the
Southern people to give the negro any
rights they were not obliged to give
When this was overcome there would
be peace at the South. Tho South had
tbe opportunity presented to it by Con
gress to give ihese rights itself, but had
refused to do it. Upon the subject of
confiscation Mr. Greeley was emphatic,
urging the negroes not to look forward

wished to see them own farms, but
they mnst work for them, and they need
jxi eel to get them in any other
way.
Gerritt Smith followed in a short ad
dress. He said the South was not alone
to blame for the war, whioh had been
brought on by the INorih through its
support of slavery, which was its im
mediate cause. It had supported sla
very becauss it had profited by it. It
had drawn the milk while tke South
had held the cow. He strongly
opposed confiscation, and told the ne
grces not to look f .rward to anything
so hopeless. In ai'jsion to rumors cf
riots he had heard since he came here.
hs urged the negroes not to give way
to lawlessness and to avoid any ap
proach lo riotous conduct.
Judge Underwood who was cheered
and hissed when he cajme forward,
made a short adJress. After hearing
one or two mere speakers the meeting
adjourned.
A gentleman who arrived in
this city yesterday morning, says ihe
Republican, B'ates that on Friday last a
company who were herding three hun
dred and twenty-five head of cattla for
Peny & Galbraith, twenty-five miles
west of Nonh Piatte, were attacked by
Indians and four of ihe party killed
and the whole herd of cattle taken off.
The gentlemfn who f;ivesthis informa

next morning.
Great pains are taken in cleansing
wool before shearing in Germany. In
Hungary the sheep are first soaked
and rubbed in vats of very warm water
with potash. After cooling, they nre
showered as forcibly as possible with
cool water, until the wool is white, and
then are kept in a clean and warm
place till ury for shearing.
In Mississippi, a rebel was
caught who was accused of being a spy.
As usual in suuh cases, there was
strong talk cf hanging, liilore starl
