ANECDOTE OF A DOG.

county owned dog, which during IN" whole

mising of all the canine species. The master
died, and the affectionate creature followed h'n
to the grave. Upon returning TO the house, Ne
laid himself down upnn al old coat, which had
belonged 10 his deceased master. ard no eh"rt OF

MONEY MATTERS.

II has been stated IN some Of the public papers,
and also on Change, that there existed a search
|ty Of money, which is caused by the curtaiIment
Of discounts by the United States Bank in this
cits. II there is any scarcity Of money in Wall
street, it has not, we believe, reached the commu.
nifty generally, for never within our recollection
has there been 40 r1p6h life and activity at this
season Of the year tbe merchants, as at the
present 1Ses time. IL Bunt Of business done is
immense. and with apparent ease and confidence.
To satisfy ourselves. however, of the alleged
cause, we have applied to source on which per-
feet reliance can be placed tor correct informa'
ton. and learn that the Branch in this city. with.
10 the last sixty days, has increased, instead OF
diminishing, their discounts about eight hundred
thousand dollars; that they have purchased ex.
change on England aud France to the amount OF
half million, aud drafts on Baltimore. Pbila-
delphia, and Boston, TO the amount Of million
and half; and that during the last two months.
the city banks have owed the Branch an average
daily cash balance Of two hundred and Fifty thou.
sand dollars. Thus it appears that, if any scar.
city exists 10 the community generally, it 10 not
owing to the operations Of The United States
Bank; for they have, as it appears, extended, 10.
stead Of curtaling, their discounts and purchases
of exchange. York Daily Adv.

REV F.. K. AVERY.

We understand that the Rev E K. Avery has
determined to retire from public lie, and remain
in the Dnsom Of his paternal home, until the Puo'
lie shall become fully satisfied Of his innocence.
He expresses strong confidence as 90 MS 'r'ends'
that God in his Providence vii! ere long remove
every possible doubt from the minds Of all in re-
lation TO his painful and mysterious case.
We think this voluntary exile should satisfy
those public presses which have complained OF
his exercising the ministerial tunct,ons' under
the circumstances; and we have the best reasons
for believing that his warmest friends will regard
his course as judicious and praise worthy. II
certainly should quiet the public excitement in
relation to him, and we think this result nay
nov confidently be anticipated N y. Com.

SHE IS NO MORE!
The rose upon her cheek vas red,

Though languor came and vigor He'd,
We could not think that she was dying!
We bore her to Won distant shore,
Where Arno rolls, stream ct gladness!
But Aims and ocean, traversed Ger,
But added sorrow to our sadness!
Devoted beauty! on thy cheek,
Though deep Decay has placed her finger,
Still health imparts q glowing streak,
And there, unblanched, her roses llnger'
There is no sorrow in thy sigh
Like Hope, reposing on her anchor
Thine eve is brigat-,hy cheek is dry,
But meath its vermeii tint, the canker!
So when autumnal suns arise
And Natures radiant form is brightest,
The groves display their richest dyes,
But wither while their leaves are brightest

wheat to the acre more than the common
wheat land of your State. There is not as
much pains taken by farmers here as in New
York. For instance, in growing a crop of
corn, the farmer here ploughs his ground
once before planting, and ploughs his corn
once or twice, but never hoes it, and to say
fifty bushels of corn to the acre, would be
putting it below the average crop, and l fire.
Quently hear them talk of hundred bushels
to the acre. There are fields near this town
that have produced acrop every year since
Gen. Wayne built the fort nearly forty years
ago, and the owners speak of 60, and some
of them of 70 bushels of corn to the acre, as
certain. There are a very few such fields
to be seen, for the Indians owned the whole
country until within a few years.
Fort Wayne, and the country about it, are
improving rapidly; the town contains about
five hundred inhabitants, and will contain as
many thousand in as many years. A person
who travelled much on the Erie canal, be-
tween Utica and Buffalo, from its commence
ment until five years after its completion,
and Witnessed at almost magical sprnging W
of towns, by calling recollection of it to his
mind, can have a very just conception of the
rapid growth Of this country and this valley
