Where lies the keenest pangf in death

To give the elements our breath,
The wind our latest sigh
The bitter pang that rends the heart
Lies rot in Paia, disease or wo-
These like the mist wreath may depart,
Or Aprifs yernal snow.
The keenest pang that soul can feel
Is trust, strong trust betrayed to find
This wounds more terribly than steel,

What can the firmest nature rend
To ind traitor where he thought
To find trusty friend.

~ YORK HoTELs.-The Herald estimates the

modating from four to eight hundred persons,
and consume annually, of beef, 100000 lbs, OF
lamb and mutton, 1000 head; Of veal, so head
OF poultry and game, IL 900 head; of fruit and
vegetables, twenty thousand dollars worth and
of wines of different kinds 80, 900 bottles. The
aggregate yearly receipts of the fifty hotels
amount to about seven millions of dollars.
In the same connection the Herald remarks
Zone of the first things that strikes Euro

The Criallcn.

The Crimea is spoken of in some of the Eng
lish papers as enc OF the material guarantees"
which the Allies should exact from Russia as
the price of peace, as security for the future
good behavior of that Power; and as it is highly
probable that the active operations of the Allies
will be ultimately transferred to that Province.
brief account thereof may not be without in
terest:
The Crimea. or Grim Tartary as it is some
times called, is the ancient Taurica CherSone-
sus. 1t is peninsuar, extending out into the
Black Sea from Southern Russia, with which ii
is coGaected by narrow isthmns. There is
probably province in Europe which has been
so often devastated, and which has been the the
atre OF such stormy scenes OF violence and blood
shed as this unfortunate country. 1t is said that
since the time of Herolotus b. C.. 450) it had
been conquered and devastated by more than
seventy different nations. The Alans, the Goths,
the Huns, the Petchenges, the Comanes, and
numerous other predatory tribes IN turn occu-
pied the country. 1t was settled by the Genose
in / 1913, who were expelled by the Grim Tar
tars, under grandson OF Ghengis Khan, III
1874. These predatory tribes settled in the
country, and were tributary to the Porte until
the latter part OF the last century, when Catha-
rlne ii took possession OF and annexed the
| country to Russia.
The population of the Crimea is about 200,:
900, Of whom not far from one-half are Tartars,
| who profess the Mahommedan faith.
The greatest obstacles which the Allies would
encounter in wrestling the Crimea from Russia
would be the reduction of Sebastopol. The
| strength Of this fortress is well known, and II
would doubtless successfully resist any attack by
sea. There would be no difficulty, however, in
landing any number OF men to the south OF the
town, where there are no less than siA conve-
| nient bays which are unprotected The roads
across the Crimea wretched, and during
eight months of the year, in spring, fall and
winter the dreary steepes in the northern part
of the province are almost impossible for large
bodies of troops. The reduction of Sebastopol.
if the Allies should set about it with zeal and
energy, would only be the work of time. In
vested BY land and blockaded by sea, the garrl
would not long hold out without strong
prospect of relief Sebastopol taken, the sub
jueation of the Crimea would be easy task
and in such eventuality the Allies, if they are
fully determined to cripple Russia, will proba-
bly, restore the Porte to the possession OF his an
cient territory Boston Journal.

TREEs.-The Humboldt Times mentions a
spruce pine log, &c feet long. which turned out
1000 feet clear stuff, without knots or wind

country, though we have trees of other species
much larger-for instance, the redwood-that
are estimated will turn out upwards of 100, 900
feet That one tree will build two houses, each
two stories high and fifty feet square, furnishing
all the square timber, panks, shingles, &C.,
