The potato market for the last day or two is said to have been a little more active than for some time, with the best eastern Hebrons in full demand at 75c., and the best Rose at 70c. and 73c. Burbanks and Stars have been steady at 60c. Island Chenangoes are in fair demand at 60-., and choice Scotch Maguums are steady at $1.80 and $1.85 per sack. There is a little better feeling in mackerel, and common smelts are in large supply and very dull. i octal A Peovirar Famity.—According to the Bangor Commercialatamily in St. Albans claims the credit of being the most peculia: in one or two pal ticulars which can be found in Maine. lt is the family of the late Jos- epb Libby, and consists of five sons and three daughters, all grown ap and married.

Another remarkable thing is that the three sisters married three brothers, sons of Everett Parkman, now deceased.
