As this is an enjoyable and instructive recreation, it is hoped that, should the question be received with favor, Cliftonians will be ready to make it a success.

Sherman, of Cham-pi ain, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Le Boutillier, rector of the church. At the conclusion of the service the bridal pair held a reception at the residence of the bride's father, where the guests repaired to tender their congratulations. The floral decorations were elaborate and tasteful.

The mantels were banked with a variety of flowers and flowers adorned every available stand and corner. The rooms were lighted by myriads of candles and Teall, of Rochester, furnished the supper.

About 10:30 Mr. and Mrs. Hover took their departure amidst a shower of rice and old slippers. Among" those present were Mrs. Hover, brother of the groom Mrs.

WAYNE. The marriage of Fred T. Hamilton and Miss Kittle D. Lux, both of Clyde, took place at the residence of Mr. Hamilton on Wednesday evening, Rev.

W. H. Bates, pastor of the Presbyterian officiating. Wednesday afternoon some young men of Clyde were practicing the national game, when one of them was watching a ball, to catch it, he tumbled over a wire stretched from one of the park trees to another and nearly broke his neck. At a Republican caucus, held in Savan nah on Wednesday, the following delegates were elected District J.

The game of basa ball between the Lyons and Phelps clubs in Lyons on Wednesday afternoon was witnessed by an unusual ly large audience. The interest in the game was intense.

Many people drove ten and fifteen miles to witness it. The Lyons club bad for its pitcher Callahan and for its catch er Erkhart, while the Phelps club had Smith for a catcher and Dooley for pitcher. The two batteries were very evenly matched. There were several open rows about the um pire decisions on close plays and he was openly accused of having made three wagers in favor of the success of the Phelps club at the game. In the ninth innings the two clubs hafi a wrangle about the proper person to be called to the bat, and the game broke up, amid yells and cat calls by the specta tors.

The score stood 7 to 5 in favor of the Phelps club. The clubs will meet in Phelps on next Thursday afternoon to play another game. There appears to be "something doing "in ayne county pontics. Mr. Payne the present congressman from the Twenty -seventh district, is gently feeling of the public pulse to see if Its throbbing indi cates a third term for htm.

Judge Nutting, of Oswego, is also calling upon his friends in Wayne, and the indications are that he will start out with at least nve or six vv ayne county towns at his back, despite the fact that Mr. Durfee. a well-known gentleman from Palmyra, has recently announced him self as a candidate for congressional honors Two or taree towns have chosen delegates to the assembly convention and have advanced the names of gentlemen of their respective towns, but the Republicans of the First district may cbootse Charles T. Saxton, of Clvde. as their standard bearer.

Mr. Saxton is not an office seeker, and it is well known that if he is nominated it will be because the people's wish is carried out, as he has said that he is not a candidate. While he will not enter into any "ontest for the nomination, his friendj feel assured that ho is too strong a Republican to decline the honor, although the duties of the office would ccfiiiicc serioualr wiUi his bmiaeea.

Sih: The resident of Auburn aud vicinity have this summer enjoyed unusual privileges, through the kinuness of George Casey, Esq. who has thrown open hi3 grounds to the public that they might participate with his friends in the pleasure of witnessing the rare spectacle, in this lleak northern clime, of a century plant in full bloom.

The Agave Americana, or century plant, is the largest of all herbaceous and is popularly supposed to require a century 's growth to develop it sufficiently for blossoming and perfecting its seeds. But experience has proved that even in the north it arrives at maturity in a much shorter time under proper cultivation. There are two varieties of century plant, the green and the striped leaved. The plant now in bloom is the green leaved and is an olfshoot from the Van Rensselaer plant which bloomed in Albany in 1843. That was the first plant of which record is found as having blossomed in the northern states.

Tha second plant was owned by Messrs. Frost Co. of Rochester, and was of the striped leaved variety. It blossomed in 1869. Mr.

Casey's plant is the third and it is probably a sexagenarian, as he purchased it in 1837 when it was nearly a dozen years old. As it has been grown in the ground instead of a tub, it is doubtless a fair representative of the plant as it is found in tropical America. As the visitor approaches tho greenhouse, a tall, tapering pole, of an apple green tint, six inches in diameter at the base, crowned with a pyramidal panicle of flowers of a golden yellow hue, meets his gaze. Many, who imagine a plant attracting so much attention must be beautiful and fragrant as a rose or lily, are disappointed, for such is not the case. The flower stalk rises from the mass of thick, long, fleshy leaves at the base, to the height of twenty-eight feet.

There are thirty-two bunches of flowers standing out from the stalk, like enormous long- handled brushes, growing in a spiral which commences some ten or twelve feet from the base. The bunches of flowers are oval in form, the flower stems are short and they are crowded together in masses as closely as Dame Nature can pack them. The flowers are three inches long, the calyx being the same delicate shade of green, with six golden sepals arranged in pairs, the six stamens and pistil being of the same color. It is estimated that five thousand flowers have bloomed, as one bunch that was counted contained 273 blossoms. Mr.

Casey has erected a platform sixteen leethigh, with an inclined plane lead ing to it, to enable visitors to view the plant more closely. It is surprising to learn how rapid has been the growth of the stalk and flowers. It was on April 11th that Mr. Casey found the central cone of leaves had parked and a stalk resembling a head of asparagus had made its appearance. This grew in height nearly three inches daily, and May 1st peeped through the roof of the' greenhouse, and had acquired its full growth by the middle of July.

In the meantime the thirty-two flowering branches had pushed out, ap pearing one after the other in daily succes sion, vv hue the nower stalk has nourished the plant has undergone great changes. The leaves, varying from six to eight feet in length, by five or six inches wide and three or four inches thick at the base, have shrunk wonderfully in the last few weeks. Instead of spreading out and filling out that end of the greenhouse as formerly, even covering i the shelves, they lie wrinkled and withering on the floor. Their substance has been absorbed to sustain the flower stalk, they have fu. ailed their mission, and are rapidly wasting away.

It will be interesting to watch the progress of decay in this curious plant. In marked contrast with this herb is an aloe, which i3 exhibited beside it. The aloe blooms when from ten to fifteen years old and blossoms yearly thereafter. The flowers are small, of a pale yellowish tint, and flowering like bluebells on a stalk less than two feet in height. Mr.

Casey has a number of century plants of both varieties. Among them, one a striped leaf, which he purchased iu Rochester in 1845, which is over fifty years old. 7 The plant now in bloom, is nearly fifty years old. Although the blossoms mature numberless seeds, the method of propagation is from shoots that put forth where the lower leaves are united to the root. The aves are fibrous, and the Mexicans manufacture from the tough white fibres, twin, cordage, coarse cloth, and articles requiring strength.

Among the Mexican exhibits at the Centennial Exposition in 1876 was a wax model of the Maguey or Century plant, also fish nets and hammocks made from Maguey twine, as well as paper, tough, fine and strong as bank note paper, manufactured from the same material. It is from this species of Agave that the Mexicans manufacture their national drink pulque. There are extensive Maguey plantations in Mexico whose owners enjoy princely revenues from the sale of pulque. When the plant is twelve or fifteen years old, they take sharp knives and cut at the base of the central corel of leaves until it can be removed. The sap oozes up and collects in the hollow tnus lormed, from wnicn it is gathered two or three times a day, one plant producing several quarts daily.

When fresh, the sap is whitish in color, like watered milk and has a very sweet taste. After fermenting two or three days it tastes not unlike cider and is very refreshing. When fermented ready for U3e, the pulque is put into hog skins which are taken entire from the animal, even the head and snout are not re moved and carried in donkey trains to the railroad, where it is transferred to flat-sided hogs-heads in which it is carried to market. It is said the Mexicans cut the flowering stalk into pieces and roast it. The rind is lough, but the bitter taste is removed by roasting so the pith is swtet and palatable.

On chewing a freshly cut shaving from one of the leaves we find it has mild bitter taste, while it smells like dandelion stalks. A Mexican gentleman, being in the city recently, visited Mr. Casey's grounds and expressed bis astonishment that persons at the north should take the pains to cultivate with such care a plant so common, and that they should have the patience to protect it from the rigors of a northern winter for so many years to see it blossom just once. As the Mexicans regard a maguey plantation of one thousand acres a sinail affair, he doubtless regarded the cultivation of a plant in a greenhouse much as a teazle grower would to find a teazle root grown as a choice plant under glass. Many thousand persons have availed themselves of the opportunity so generously offered for viewing this rare plant, from one to three thousand being admitted in a single day.

The register of names kept for the first two weeks showed many representatives from the states and Canada were among the visitors. W. auourn, JV Y. Sept. 1, 1S86.
