HowEs AND Cos CRCUs.-The runner of
this establishment called one day, while we
were absent, and left a long puff; from De-
troit paper, to be inserted, at the extraordinary
price of one ticket We are not in the habit
of advertising upon such terms. Besides that,
Detroit puffs have declined very much since the
memorable era of the Dioramic man." and
we should not much benefit Messrs. Howe s.
Co. by publishing it.
Our citizens have very distinct recollection
of the Great (Humbug) Caravan, which exhib-
tied here last summer, and they are little ap-
prehensiye that the establishment of Messrs.
Howe and Co. may be but satellite OF Spald-
ipc's. which left Buffalo about the same time,
on Southern tour They wonder which way
the real golden chariot the great tent sc. went
We are unable to answer these queries direct
", but will relate an ancedote which We think
applicable,
"Father," said Bill, leaning on his hoe-han-
die, with disconnected brow, "they say shad
will bite now"
well, WELL" was the consoling reply, at
tend to your work, and they ,co'mt bite you."
So say we, stay at home, and if Messrs. H.
and Co. are "bites," they wont bite you.

TnE CANNON cast at the Foundry of Mr.. M.

THE CANNON cast at the Foundry of Mr.. M.
Cook last week, was completed and submitted
to the test last evening. II withstood the trial
beautifully, and now only wants mounting to be
ready to speak out on the coming Anniversary.
Its weight OF metal is amply sufficient for a six
pound calibre. To render it the more secure,
it is bored somewhat smaller. To show what
kind of "National Foundrie'' xist in our coun-
try, We may now state that last year, after the
Committee of Arrangements had failed in their
efforts TO borrow gun, until Tuesday or We'd
nesday preceding the fourth, similar gun was
cast and bored at the same Foundry, and COM
pleted by Friday. Though this burst in trial,
it was not owing to the quickness with which
it was made; We may Judge something, there
fore of the ability of this country, to defend it
self in case of emergency.

The Post speaking of the robbery of Mayor
Quincy's honse at Nahant, says that '.his choi-
cest wines and liquors were made to serve the
base appetite of lawless depredators. This
sounds well for man who refused to grant IL
cense for the sale of liquors. not SO choice
LoUeH Courier.
The circumstance referred to by the Post, fur
nishes good Illustration of the effect of stat
utory enactments on the subject of liquor vend-
ing. The squable about this matter which has
kept several of the eastern States in an uproar
for years, has been little more than a contest
between the rich men who drink champaign,
and are able to to pay for the quantity prescri-
bed by law to be beyond the me asure of immor-
atty, and the poor rum drinkers, who have not
the means to buy more than glass or two at
a time. This Mayor QUINCY is one of the
Boston Professionalism uoright. honorable.
and accomplished man, with nice notions of the
minor morals and the proprieties genetally, and
OF course strenuous advocate of stringent
measures against the sellers and drinkdrs of
cheap liquors in small quantities. The con-
dtion of his own wine cellar shows how heart
felt must be his adherence of the imbibers of
poor liquors, and we are not surprised tina he
refused licenses to vend them. But the Mavor
must not be held to a very rigid accountability.

THE UNITED STATES AND BRAZIL

We said yesterday that we hoped there was
no danger Of our being involved las reported
at New York from Washington in war with
Brazil, whilst we have already on hand one
War more than is either necessary, wise, or
likely to add any thing to the ma tonal civil re-
pute. On further consideration, indeed, of the
rumors referred to py the intelligent corresron-
dent of the Journal of Commerce, (which we
quoted yesterday,) we incline to think that
there must be some misunderstanding on the
subject. 1t was generally believed, six months
ago, that the unfortunate difference at Rio ia
metro between our Officers and the Government
of that country had been satisfactorily adjusted
and we have heard Of no new outbreak to c on
stitute the ground of further controversy.
With regard to the runored intention of the
Government of Brazil to recall the Chevalier
DE LIsBoA, the trnly estimable and universally
popular Representative of the Government Of
Brazil at this Government, if there were indeed
any solid foundation for such rumor. we should
consider it an unhappy augury as to the dis
position of the Brazilian Govrnment to maintain
on its part, the friendly relations with the
United States which have hitherto been so hap
PLY cultivated during his mission to this coun-
try. 80

of wheat, when others were holding their wheat
at $l,75 to 1900 placed quantity in Smiths

Farmers have commenced cutting their grain
IN several parts of Virginia. The harvest will
be more than an average. The quality of the
Wheat is said to be very superior. The gram
is ripening fast in the vicinity Of Fredericks-
burg and along the Rappahannock. Prepare
tons are making to commenc harvesting in all
quarters. The weather in that vicinity has.
been very fine and favorable to the farmers.
The corn and oat. are very promising.

Odd Fact.-It is an unaccountable fact, saws
an exchange pape r, that while the distress was
at its height, the deposites in the saving banks
in Ireland, were larger than they had ever been.
We see nothing unaccountable in this fact,
if it existed. As matter Of course, starvation
would first reach those who, living " from hand
to mouth could not at any time make depos-
ties in savings banks. Those who could, see
ing the approaching Danger, would very natur-
ally take care to make the best possible prepa-
ration to meet it.

GTWe frost that our citizens will, one and
all, turn out from village and country, to attend
the Celebration of our National Anniversary on
Saturday next. The day is the most favorable
for the attendance of people from the country,
as the weeks business may be concluded by the
previous evening or Saturday morning. 1t al
so relieves the various committees from the
necessity of interfering with the Sabbath in
their preparations. The change of time from
the fifth to the third when the 4th falls OH Sun
day, appears to us avery sensible innovation.

nFTHE OATH OF FFALTY TAKFN.-Our
friend, of the Detroit Advertiser, gives us a
rap for some remarks of ours, in relation to
the Central Railroad Company. We are glad
to perceive that the equInimity of his temper
was not permanently disturbed by the location
ofthe Depot, below Detroit, and we trust that
his ready services in the cause of the Monopo-
ly, may be suitably rewarded. Certainly the
Company might give him the printing of its
way-bills, for the first effort, and if he continues
faithful, it may, after sufficient probation, be-
STOW upon him the honor of free ticket :.
By-the-way, brother Greely made a profound
bow to " its Majesty" as he passed on his way
to Chicago. We trust he will be sufficiently
recover from the effect of his interview, when he
returns to re-commence his warfare on all the
little monopolists, from the Capitalist who
exacts his weekly grist of usury on ten thou
sand dollars, to the man who may be so GRIM
inal as to possess more than forty acres of land.

SUsPENsIoN.-The State Journal has been
suspended by the Administrator of Mr.. Good
ales Estate.
This will give the Wings an insight of the
manner in which their papers are supported
While Mr.. Gooda!e lived, his devotion to his
principles led him to continue the publication
of the Journal at his own personal sacrifice.-
Being dead, his Admins traitor must of course
regard justice only in the settlement of his aft
airs the publication of the paper at a loss, is
therefore necessarily discontinued.
Not single whig paper is well supported
in the County how much probability is there
that we shall retain our footing here, to say
nothing of carrying the State ! This is beau
tiful picture of the wings of the staunchest
wing County in the State.

GT@The news of the capture of part of a
baggage train, and the interrogation of General
SCOTS line of communication, gives us some
idea of what might be done by the Mexicana, if
there was among them the genius to command

Is it not risking too much to send our veterans

A TALE OF A TURKEY.

time since, walked one morning into Court, he
thought he would examine whether he was in
time for business and feeling for his repeater,
found it was not in his pocket.

near the door As usual, | have again left

He went on the bench and thought no more
of it. The Court adjourned, and he returned
home. AS soon as he was quietly seated in
his parlor. he bethought him of his timepiece,
and turning to his wife, requested her to send
for it to their chamber.
"But my dear Judge" said she, g sent 1t
to you three hours ago."
"Sent it to me, my dear' Certainly not"
Unquestionably," replied the lady, and

" The nerson sent for it" echoed the
