As regards the commerce of our place. dur
ing the commercial year just closed aim at 40
inydlous or self clarifying comparisons What we
publish is simply the statistics furnished at our re-
guest. The statements include the commerce Of
our Port from the close of navigation 1915 to the
close of navigation, 1919. From the tables as fur
nished, it appears that place has gone beyond
Racine, in wheat, 3t5,I10 bushels; in flour 2,574
barrels in lumber 4,253, 523 feet
Other items of the trade of the three places
specvcly, or either two of the places, may easily
be compared by any who disposed to take the
trouble. Taking the item of wheat, the best index
perhaps, of the general amount of country trade.
our place has particular reason to be dissatisfied
with the share which she has obtained.
Milwaukee shipped about onc-fiflh more wheat
than Southport, and almost six times much tionr.
The amount of her merchandising all know to be
many times greater than that Of any other Lake
Port of Wisconsin.
milwaukee, and Racine have greatly the advan-
tages Of Southport in respect to harbor; and the
last named has, during the last autumn, greatly
increased her country trade by means of caller
construction, and lour-o!d greater extent of Plank
Road, as compared with Southport. These ere
matters which operate to the disadvantage Of the
cnt. In respect to the first named Of these adyan-
tuges, she is certain some time, to be on a footing
with her neighbors. And in respect to the one
last named, the year 1850 will see our place right

gafded Gen. jackson as usurper, and he
had made up his mind to assassinate him
himself, and thus win an imperishable re-
nown. On all other subjects, save this Of
being entitled to thrones and provinces, he
was perfectly sane4 He was painter by
| occupation, and when seen about Gov.
Poindexter's hotel, was actually engaged in
painting the building. All these facts were
abundantly proved, and the committee re.
ported a full acquittal Of Gov. Poindexter.
Lawrence, after the arrest, went through
an examination before Justice Cranch, who
ordered him to find bail for his appearance
at court, TO answer for the assault, with the
attempt to assasinate. The sum demanded
for his appearance was fifteen hundred dol
lars, which was deemed too small by eager
and sycophant partizans; but it was equi-
valent to eternal incarceration, as the poor
fellow could not have found any one to be
responsible to him in the sum of fifteen
shillings. t't'
At the time of the arrest Of Lawrence, it
was doubted by many, if the pistols were
loaded, as neither of them went of. To
ascertain the fact, they were placed in the
hands of Major Donelson, and company
of gentlemen, who examined them. They
were found to be loaded with ball, slug and
buckshct, and being re-capped, went of,
perforated two inch plank at the distance
of some ten yards. They were brass bar
relied, connected near the breech or cham
Der by q screw.
Why they did not explode when placed
at the breast of General Jackson, of course
no one can tell, but il is supposed, as Law
renee had carried them in his bosom many
days, and as the weather was very warm
for the season, that the warmth of his body
had destroyed the percussion cap.
Lawrence was committed to Jail in the
month of February, 1885, and remained
there many years, when think, he was
conveyed to the Lunatic Asylum, in Balti-
more. When | last saw him, hr appeared
to be contented and happy, and was very
busily engaged in parceling out crowns
and Kingdoms, while he originated mon
archs and despotisms. .-Holden's Magazine.

SONG OF AUTUMN.
BY HENRY B. CUMMINGS.

Triumphant conceive conquered my way,
The vanquished and fallen around me lay F.:
The gay summers pride and woodlands
sweet flower,
Have dofed their gay dress, and yield to my
And the tow'ring maple that decks the hill
That stands on the valley, or mountain sill ;
Proudly comes forth as my Woodlands bright
Gem,
To form with the laurel my diadem.
And the sparkling fountain that plays on high,
Is chilled by the blast as pass him by,
Less gaily he gli,ters for this summer sun,
Is the trophy Of what my valour hath won
Proudly come in my swelling career,
Breezes are peelng my triumph song here
And tn shrili blast dying in the eailess bough
Is singing the requiem of summer now.
But leave We soon, my stay is but short,
Changes and changing were ever my sport
Yet I'm followed by one, and know hin
well,
With his freezing look and whitening spell
