Inorease Of ron. on the Ohio canals

We published several days ago, from the
Cincinnati Price Current,"a statement Of
the increase of tolls on the Ohio Canals for
the past year. Where The Price Current got
its statistics we know not, but on enquiry we
find it greatly in error.
The Price Currents figures make the in
crease Of tolls for 1851, $3l ,426 66, while
the real increase is $96,500 l3-making a
difference in favor of the Canals of $65,075
AZ, or over three times the amount.

ISEE LIGHT-PM ALMOST HoME.-The
following is related of young girl, whose
journey Of life was near the end: f.5
About The chamber glided the loved forms
Of her parents and only sister. She silently
noted theii movements with mild express
ion Of her dying eye, turning it from side TO
side. Arrested by her peculiar look, SO ex-
pressive Of affiiction and patient suffering,
they paused 10 look upou her, whom they
only saw but dimly through their tears, and
should soohssee no more.
A feeble effort to speak,a quivering,
voiceless movement of the lips, drew closer
around hertbe loving hearts Of that sorrow-
ing circle. Mother, father, sister. all come
closer to her side. A playful smile lit up
her countenance. She laid her little pulse
less hand within her mothers palm, then
closed her eyelids to the light Of earth and
sank away. The cold damp Of deaths shad-
owy valley seemed circling over her. Slow
ly sinking down, she glided towards the riv-
eis shore, when like anarrow stream, di-
vides the spirit-land from ours. But see
the quivering lips essay to speak, Mother!
How each heart throbbed now, and then
each pulse stood still. They listen. Moth.
