and wrenched as if to deepen the hold. A
sharp cracking mingled with the humming
noises in my head, and the dress parted at
the waist! shrieked as I heard the
swooping sound of the fall of the black
devil and his victim, as they shot down into
the darkness. 1 heard something like the
bay of the old house-dog and the firing of
guns-and heard no more.
Weeks and months passed away before
the fearful delirium of that night left me.
| returned to consciousness in my fathers
cabin, an emaciated creature, as helpless as
a child. The raven locks of twenty had
changed to the silver ones of eighty years Of
age. Look at this arm that clung to Garry!
1t is withered. have never raised it since
that night. In my dreams l feel again that
fearful night, and awake covered with the
cold clammy sweat that gathered upon me
while on that pine.
The neighing of the horse, as he dashed
into the clearing, had aroused the people
at home. The empty and broken sleigh
told brief story. The bowling of the
wolves arose on the blast, and with guns and
the old house dog, they rushed towards the
sad scene.
They found me senseless upon the trunk
covered with blood, and wolf feeling his
way towards me. In turning at the sound
of their approach he slipped and went down
upon the ice. l thank God for that.
Our people looked long for Carry Mason,
but did not find her till next morning.
They then went down on the ice and found
her corpse. The wolves had not picked her
crushed bones.
The fall partially broke the ice, and the
cozing water had frozen and fastened her
long black hair as it had foated out. The
wolf had not released his death-grasp, and
his teeth were buried in her pure white
shoulder.
The spring sunshine and birds and green
| leaves had come again, as I tottered out.
| My sister led to grave on the rivers bank,
the grave of all my youthful hopes, and all
that loved. The wild flowers were already
| starting on the sacred mound. wept over
them and blessed them, for they were bloom
ing over the grave of Carry.
ALE.-Although Albany ale is world re-
nowned, few comparatively are aware of
the extent to which it's manufacture is car
ried on in this city. There are, at present,
eight breweries in town, which consume, in
the aggregate, at fair estimate, over 75O,-
600 bushels of barley year, which, at an
average cost of IS cents per bushel, would
amount to an investment of over $500, 1000
in that article alone. The other expenses
rents, barrels, hire, &C., will swell the
amount immensely.
The season for brewing is from the 1st
of September to the 1st of May, and it is
estimated that full, if not over, $50,
barrels of beer are manufactured here every
year-the average sale for which is $4, so
per barrel, making revenue from this
source of over one million dollars. Already
market is found for all that is manufactured,
IN almost every port of the United States,
as well as the ports of South America, and
even China.
In addition to the brewing, the mailing
establishments in this city, for capacity of
business, exceed all the rest in the United
States, and can manufacture over million
bushels of grain per year, yielding an i'm
mense revenue, as Albany is the principal
barley and hop market in the United States,
where the brewers eongregate to purchase
their stock, and thus must it always be the
leading place in these branches Of business.
