| Russian Priests Sermon on the
GENET,

The comet which has lately been visi-
bic has served priest not far from War
saw with materials for very curious SER
mon. After having sumomoned his con-
gregation together, although it was nei-
ther Sunday nor festival, and shown them
the comet, he informed them that this was
the same star that had appeared to the
magi at the birth of our Saviour, and that
it was only visible now in the Russian
empire. Its appearance on this occasion,
was to intimate to the Russian Eagle t hat
the time was now come for it to spread
out its wings and embrace all mankind in
one orthodox and sanctifying church,
He showed them that the star was now
standing Immediately over Constantine
pie, and explained that the dull light of
the nucleus indicated its sorrow at the
delays of the Russian army in proceeding
to its destination, etc.

following description of the cash-box in
which Uncle Sam keeps his change at
New York:
The New York Subtreasury now con-
tains slo,OOO,OOO in gold and few hun

the coin is kept in the custom house, and
Is composed of double sheets of iron,

strument can cut or file. The safe is ff-
teen feet long, eight wide, and about as
many feet high. 1t is divided into two
apartments, in the inner one of which the
money is deposited; and it has three thick
iron doors, each having two locks, the
keys to which are distributed at night a.
mong the different clerks, the Assistant
Treasurer keeping himself the register of
the principal key, so that the safe cannot
be unlocked unless all are present. On
the sides of the safe are tiers of boxes,
capable of holding in all nine millions
six hundred thousand dollars. They are
now SLED with coin, which is put up in
bags Of FIVE thousand dollars each, except
few containing small amounts for con-
venience in making payments. The

The Apple Trade.

Some idea of the value of apples, says
the Rome Sentinel, as an article of profit
to the farmer, may be found in the fact
that no less than 1900 barrels have
been purchased by two buyers, chiefly in
the towns of Kirkland, Marshall, and
augusta, and shipped east to market
The amount received is probably about
$4,000.
The Rochester Union says the crop of
this valuable fruit is light in that section.
Buyers for the Eastern markets have
been active in purchasing the products of
many orchards. No less than 500 bar
rels were shipped by canal from that
city eastward in the last two days. The
prices paid have been about $l.25 per
barrel.

4 Glimpse Behind the Curtain.

A correspondent at the seat of the Fed
eral Government, who processes and
seems to be thoroughly booked up, makes
some singular disclosures in a recent let
ter published in the N. Y. He1-all, which,
if true, explain the contradictory letters
Of Messrs. Guthrie and Cushing. He
describes the Attorney General as being
the great Mephistophiles of the Admins
tration, who with Sidney Webster, the
Presidents private secretary Paul
George and Col. Whipple, two Of the
Presidents N. Hampshire chums, and
John W. Forney, constitute the Kitchen
cabinet, which is stronger behind the
throne than the throne itself. These he
says meet every night in certain room
in the White House, where they have a
glorious time over their oysters and toddy,
and devise the nao1luS operaaadi whereby
to crush Marcy and Guthrie, both of
whom he predicts they will succeeded in
driving out of the cabinet
Cushing, the premier of this Kitchen
Cabinet, he says, dislikes Marcy and
Guthrie as vulgar and commonplace pol
iticians, whom he wants the President to
get rid of as soon as possible, and then
become the Premier of the Administra-
tion himself, and have his friend, Henry
A. Wise-another of the Coporal Guard
of John Tyler's dynasty-installed in
the Office of Attorney General. His let
ter to Massachusetts, recommending the
prescription of the Free Sellers there ,and
swearing his own fidelity, and that of the
President, to the South, is referred to as
indicating these purposes, and as having
no other object than to rally the South
to his support, and against Marcy and
Gushing. We shall not at all be sur
prised if these predictions and statements
be realized.

I. II. S.-These letters arc seen in the
Catholic and Episcopal Churches, and in
the prayer-books of these sects. They
are authorizations of the Latin phrase,
"Jesus Hominum Salvador" which signi-
fes, "Jesus the Savior of men" Some
may ask why the letter [ is used instead
of j! Because formerly there was no let
ter J in the alphabet; then 1 was used
where ] now is. Many of our readers

Tobacco.

The total produce of tobacco grown on
the face of the globe has been calculated
to amount to two millions of tons-which
weighs as much as the wheat consumed
annually by ten millions Of Englishmen,
and is worth in money as much as all
the wheat eaten in Great Britain. The
largest producers, and probably the
largest consumers of tobacco, are the u
nited States of America. The amount
grown in our country in ls40 was estima-
ted at 2l9,l63,3l9 pounds; in 1850, at
199,752,646 pounds, being about one
twentieth part of the produce of the globe.

Mysterious Affair.

One evening last week q middle aged
woman applied at several Hotels in the
lower part of our town, for lodging, sta
ting that she had no money and would
be compelled, if they did not keep her,
to lay out all night. She had an infant,
boy about three months old, in her arms,
and as her appearance was not very pre-
possessing the proprietors of the hotels
declined keeping her. As she was going
out Of Brotzman's hotel, a gentleman sit
ting in the barroom took pity on her and
told her she might 60 home with him
He took her to his house and gave her a
bed. During the night she got up and
made her way out of the house, leaving
the young patriot in the room, (as small
memento, we presume, of her effection and
esteem, for the kindness of her host in
providing her with quarters,) and has not
made her appearance. Next morning the
youngster was named "Biozcr Pierce" by
the unanimous consent of the. neighbors,
and taken to the poor house. Who knows
what destiny awaits the little stranger !?
He may grow up a Napoleon Bonaparte
or a Daniel Wcbster.-EIston Argus.

Cornelius Vrooman died at his broth
er's residence in Clarksen, on Monday
the 18th ult While on exhibition to New
York he was taken sick, which seemed to
induce a wakeful state for short period
and then a stupid condition, with inter
walls of wakefulness, until be was brought
home on the 18th. He talked very little,
inquiring after his mother, who had been
dead two years, his father and brothers,
whom he seemed partially to recognise
He complained of great internal heat,
and soreness of his throat and stomach.
On the morning of the day of his death
he called for food, and ate hearty meal,
and from that time seemed to be in pain,
until about 2 o'clock P. NJ, when he died
without struggle. His age was thirty
four years.
