June ~, 1910
Hardly a spot in this western word
can be named that has grown so rapidly
as this. About five years ago, the canal
froM Huron, on Like ETe, distance OF
about s miles, Was completed with suffi-
cient depth Of wafer to admit large schoon-
ers, burlhen from | TO 200 tons, and draw
ing egh, or ten feet walter to come up and
land at this place. The canal is large,
and is supplied with an abundance of
water from Mad River, which is here by
a lock turned into the canal. While |
write this, ten sail Of schooners of over
$50 tons each, are taking in full cargoes
of wheat and are bound Tor Oswego and
Rochester. These vessels are towed up
and down the cana TO and from Lake
Erie by horses and cattle.
The number of wagons that concen-
trate at this point is truly surprising. Two
hundred large wagons loaded with from
fhv 10 one hundred Bushels of wheat, are
sanding near Y at all times in the public
squares. These wagons come from a
circle of coun'ry of fifty miles, embracing
the counties OF Richland, Crawford HUI
ron, Wayne, &c. The land being heavy
is. when cleared, peculiarly adapted to
wheat; and there is probably no section
of our wide spread country that furnishes
better quality than this. Here the agents
of the miIers at Rochester, Oswpgo, Black
Rock and other sections Of the State as
sembIe and bid for wheat. The receipts
have been over twenty five thousand bush
els week ever since the canal opened
The merchants here are now paying 95
Cents and 81 bushel of 60 lbs, and all
the wheat that has yet been received here
overruns that weight. Besides wheat, a
large quantity of -four, pork, slaves and
OF her articles are received and shipped
from this point. The wheat fields 10 this
region of country never looked finer nor
promised greater abu dance The color
is dark green. The leaf is vigorous
and broad, ard the heads are just making
their appearance. In a month from this
the harvesting will commence, and unless
the stalks should be struck with rust, The
yield must be unprecedently great 1t is
admitted by all that there was never so
great quonlty of wheat put in the
ground, as during this season. Unltss
the trade of Milan, which is now attract
ing great atention, should be cul eff or
inlersecled by some railroad, it must be
great place. The exports Of the rllce
for little more than five weeks, have

A BIRD VENTRILooUIsT. A CORES
pondent of the National InteIIgencer,
writing from Granville, N. G. Nav 90
relates the following remarkable instance
of the ventriloqpial powers OF bird ::
"Oh visit to Oxford, in this county. a
few weeks since, was shown a chicken
with four feet, and terrapin with two
heads; the former We must call quadru-
ped, and the latter young Janus, were
both In good health, and doing well. -
Bat one OF the greatest natural curiosi,ies
which | have ever seen, is redbreasl,
which has taken up its residence in the
grove OF R'v. Josiah Crudup. a gentle
man with whom am now living. This
bird, which in size, shape, and color, re-
sembIes the common redbreasr, not oniy
sings very sweelly, but frequen Iy crows
like young cock Just learning to crow
though it sometimes sounds like old
chandelier himself when heard on a still
morning at distance Of about half or
three quarters of mile. But the most
singular trait in its character appears to be
that of ventriloquist. This was first
discovered by MIR. Crudup, who noticed
it perched on a tree not far distant, work
ing It's mouth. but could detect no sound.
He observed another bird not far distant,
which he supposed TO be the one which
was singing and growing, out he has since
discovered his mistake. | have Just been
listening to il, in company with several
other gentlemen One moment his voice
appears 10 be in one part of the grove, the
next it appears to be exactly in an opposite
direction. Had these facts DOT come with.
in the limits of my observation, should
have felt considerable hesilancv in spread.
ing them before the public; but | will
1ot only pledge my honor as a Christian
minister for the truth of these statements,
'ut can prove them by several others. who
nave witnessed the same facts which
lere disclose"

TO MARY.

ON THE DEATH OF HER MOTHER.
This world at best is filled with woes,
And dreary is the road of life
God for his reasons made it so.
Mingling alike its joys and strifes.
IF clouds should ne'er obscure the sun,
Its power and beauty who would know
Thus pain and pleasure mixed in one
Teach US humility below.
In one brief season springs the rose,
1t buds, it blossoms, and it dies
Yet every petal doth disclose
Sweet fragrance lifted to the skies.
So when the soul the body leaves,
If pure-the promise has been given,
That He who made it, glad receives
The gift returned 10 bloom in heaven.
And Mary! thus thy mother died.
Her soul returned to God who gave;
Though deaths dark gates were opened wide
Her spirit rests not in the grave.
Keep sacred ever in the heart
The memo.y of that mother dear
Think only for time we part
To meet within happier sphere.
Our friendships, MARY, have been tried,
And ever may their currents run
Like springs that, gushing side by side,
Mingle their waters into one.
I love thee with sisters love,
And oh may both hereafter know
That happiness in realms above,
Which earth can never yield below.

their hearts, that they cannot he| p car
rying it away, and cannot help becoming
wiser and better for what they heard. -
Some are so much engaged in worldly
dreams while in the sanctuary, or so
drowsy, that truth cannot get any farth-
or than their ears, and not ways so lar
as that. They go home as empty as
they came.
But the hearer now in my eye, al
ways brought away something from the
house of Col. He had the gif; of Civ
ing the truth so cordial a welcome, IN t,
like a good angel, it accompanied him
home, and kind ed the fire OF divine love
in his soul, and wrapped him in its own
beautiful robe, and put sweet song in
his mouth, even this, How amiable
are thy taberuacIes, o Lord of hosts; a
day in thy courts is better than
thousand"
Several things follow from all this
1. That gifted preachers are not the
only gifted beings in the world. Their
endowments may be very valuable, an
we may well glory in them but so are
giftcd hearers endowments, and they
are worthy ofhonor. And for that reas'
on, remark.
9. A gifted hearer is great gift to G
preacher He helps the preacher tc
some of his gifts. His deep and fixec
attention, his dovout department, anC
espe tally the holy and happy influence
which the preachers messages exer
upon his heart and life, greatly animate
and comfort the preacher. This makes
I him a better preacher.
{ 8. A gifted nearer is great gift to {

leading others to be attentive, devout

ers. lie is living rebuke to all the
irregular, the tardy, the drowsy, and the

ers, should have for its yoke-follow, The

We do not recolleot any instance of
the power of conscience more striking
or remarkable. With death staring the
unhappy man in the face, no hope OF es-
cape could induce him to belle his con-
viction, or throw himself upon what he
esteemed falschood for security. 1t
may not be improper to add, that Leavitt
was a victim of int importance, and kill
ed his wife in a fit of intoxication.-

BROKEN TTES.

The broken ties of happy days,
How often do they seem
To come before our mental gaze
Like remembered dream;
Around us each discovered chain
In sparkling ruin lies,
And earthly hand can meier again
Unite those broken ties.
The parent of our infant home,
The kindred that we loved,
Far from our arms perchance may roam
To distant scenes removed;
Or we have watched their parting breath,
And closed their weary eyes,
And sighed to think how sadly death
Can sever human ties.
The friends. the loved ones of your youth,
They 100 are gone or changed,
Or, worse than all, their love and truth
Are darkened and estranged;
They meet us in the glittering throng,
With cold averled eyes,
And wonder thai we weep our wrong,
And mourn our broken ties.
Oh who in such a world as this
Could bear their lot Of pain,
Did not one radiant hope Of bliss
. Ubclouded yet remain!
That hope the sovereign Lord has given
Who reigns beyond the skies:
That hope unites our souls to heaven
BY faiths enduring ties.
Each care, each i'll of mortal birth
Is sent in plying love,
TO lit the lingering heart from earth.
And speed its fight above;
And every pang that rends the breast,
And every joy that dies,
Tels us to seek safer rest
And trust to holier ties.
