CHANCE FOR A SPrIN- STER. — A young man in Aroostook County, Maine, advertising for a wife, speaks of himself as fol- lows: "I am eighteen years old, have a good set of teeth, and believe in Andy Johnson, the star- spangled banner, and the 4th of July. I have taken up a State lot, cleared up eighteen acres last year, and seeded ten of it down. My buckwheat looks first- rate, and the oats and potatoes are bully. I have got nine sheep, a two-year- old bull, and two heifers, besides a house and barn. I want to get married, [ want to buy bread-and- butter, hoop-skirts, and waterfalls for some person of the female persuasion during life. That's what's the matter with me. But I don't know how to do it."
