DOon tOGJ oHsuAlS ln prOpOrLtOu tO AdSt var Still there is done living business by near ly, or quite, all our lake craft. Emigrants go in every boat, but there have not gone for ward over about 10000 up to this time, a. gainst full 10000 during the same period last year. Emigration is on the decline, and we'll it may be-another year like the last, and we should have been all West.
 All my information from theWest confirms the belief that provisions of every kind will be remarkably abundant. The 10000 em- igrants who went forward last season, have become producers this and thereby greatly relieved the rich wheat fields of the grain- growing districts in this country. We shall not reap the full benefit before another year. A good many causes contribute to this one, that the farmers will not readily come to the low prices and another, the attempt made by certain speculators in the West to monop- olize the wheat crop. Next spring must and will be the era of new prices. large a. mount of grain and flour is daily arriving from up the lake, principally Cleaveland.- One house in one of our interior counties has 4O,OOO bushels of grain, bought for distilling: Who will be made happy by its consump- tion, in shape of alcohol? If prices could be made to give way, have no doubt there would be an abundance of most of the neces- saries of life, even at this early day in the season.
 From my own observation, and diligent inquiry, am satisfied that the wheat crop m western New-York will be fair, full mid- ding, nothing more corn tolerable, potatoes, and all course grain will be in great abun- dance, always excepting if the season be fa- vorable. There are some thousands of tons of hay summered over, and the crop this year will be greater than for some years past.
 The wool-growers, anG there are good many in this section of the state, will not bc able to find market for their wool. A vast amount will therefore be made into domestic goods. believe am not wild, when say, that the present low price of wool will be the means ot saving, to this state alone, a million of dollars. There will be that amount saved by working up the raw material among our- selves. Hundreds of farmers, who formerly sold their wool, and bought their broad-cl and fiannels ot the merchant, will, this year, deck themselves and their families in the pro- ducts of their own farms. Their daughters will find health and happiness at their wheels and looms, much pleasanter music, in these times, than pianos or harps.-N. Y. Express.
 Too handsome for Earth-A young female named Lucille Le Grand was murdered in Canada few days since by her Adonis.- She is represented to have possessed sngu-
 
 interesting charms of an original and highly cultivated mind. The assassin gloried in the bloody deed, and avowed that he murdered Lucille because she was too good for a world like this. There might have been some truth in this theory, but his practice was ex- ecrable.-Neac Era.
 1he President of the United States.-A cor- respondent of the London Chronicle, writing from Philadelphia, classes the religious pro- fessions of the Presidents of the United States as follows :-George Washington. Episcopa- Han; John Adams, ,Congregationalist; Thom- as Jefferson, doubtful James Monroe, EPis- copalian; John Quincy Adams, Unitarian, but said to have seeded and become Episco- palian Andrew Jackson. Presbyterian Martin Van Burer, Dutch Reformed. Ei- ther the correspondent of the Chronicle is in error or Mir. Vanderpbo, the bosom friend of Mr. Van Buren. Mir. Vanderpool says that his friend was born Baptist, educated Presbyterian, was christened an Episcopa- lian, joined the Dutch Reformed Church, and is partial to the Roman Catholics. Mir. Van Buren's (" coat of many colors'' throws Mir. Jefferson's "doubtful'' sentiments far into the shade.-N. y. Express. AMicting Calamity.-A letter received from the Rev. Dr.. Richards, of Auburn and published in the Newark Advertiser of Thurs day., states that four of the students of the Theological Seminary at Auburn, were drowned in the Owasco lake on Saturday 24th ult. They were ill a sail boat, about a mile from either shore, when a sudden flaw overlook them, and ingulphed them in the waves. The party consisted of H. Smith, of Johnson, N. Y., and William P. Futile, of Newark, N. J., William Woodbridge, of Stockbridge, Mass, Simeon s. Johnson, of Sweden, Monroe Co. N. York, all members of the Junior class in tho Seminary, and a ! son of Mr. H. c. Witherell, of Auburn, aged 15, and who alone survives. This lad states that when near a mile from the shore they observed a threatening cloud rising, and at once endeavored to return. A sudden squall struck their sheet, the boat reeled, and the stones used for ballast suddenly shifted to the bows, when the vessel filled and went down in moment. He also states that from ] the time the boat pitched he saw only threo of his companions, and these only for mo- ment. Having himself retained his hold of the rudder and an oar, he succeeded, being | an expert swimmer and accustomed to the water, in making so near the shore that his loud cries brought out boat for his relief, | just as his strength was about to fail, having struggled in the water nearly an hour. -.

 Neso- England Girls and Young Men.-One 1 of the most interesting places in New-Eng- land for the beauty of it's scenery, the extent l of it's manufactories, and the industry of it's inhabitants, is the town of Haverhill, Mass At Haverhill more shoes are made, Lynn ex- cepted, than at any other place in the coun-
