SCARCITY OF BREADSTUFFS IN
OHIO

A week or two since we learned on Water
street. very much to our surprise, that produce
operator from Cincinnati had just closed con-
tract with one of our city firms for large lot
of wheat (somelhing over 10000 bushels TO be
delivered in the month Of June. The grain was
held upon the Illinois river, and the figure at
which the sale was effected was not made pub
lie. though understood to be considerably in add
vance of ruling rates at the time OF the transac-
ton. This was the first intimation we had re-
ceived of probable scarcity OF breadstnfls in
Ohio We had supposed the production of last
year, aside from what went forward prior to the
close of pavgation would be sufficient to sup
ply the home demand and leave considerable
margin besides for export Since the transac-
ton to which we aude, we have learned that
parties from Cincinnati and other Ohio mills
have visited other Lake ports, and made pur-
chases of wheat for summer delivery. The Os-
wego Times of the 2lst ult, announces the pres
ence of one Of them as far east as that port,
whose object is to buy grain to ship back TO the
west.
This is state of facts for which we presume
but few western operators were prepared. Ohio
is one of the most productive of the Western
States. In 1850, according to the U. s. Census
returns, the following amount Of breadstuffs
was produced in that State
Indian Corn, bu.. ....... 59,078,695
Wheat, bu., ............. IA, 487,3Sl
Rye, bu,. 425,9l8
The wheat crop of last year in Ohio was esti-
mated at something over 2O,000,000 bushels, and
we presume there was corresponding increase
in corn and rye over the productions Of 1850.
though in regard to the two latter we have seen
no estimate. iii be true, as the foregoing facts
indicate, that there is really deficit in the sup
ply Of bread stuffs in Ohio for home consump-
ton, the fact cannot fail to affect the produce
markets more or less throughout the country,
unless, indeed, the other Western States and
Canada shall be able to send forward more than
their usual quantum. Operators and producers
will of course form their own conclusion as to-
how far the movements emanating from Cincin-
natl are the result of short supply, and to what
extent they are the offspring Of speculation.

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
GRAND HAVEN. MICHIGAN.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY IT, is
THE SAUT CANAL


A correspondent of The Cleveland Plain Deal
err, writing from the Saul under date of the oath
ult., gives the following as to the condition and
progress Of that work.
The length of the excavation, from water to
water, is 1880 feet, to which is added the pier
below, 3OS feet long, and the pier and the bank
at the head 1000 feet long, making the entire
length of the work 5,658 feet,--37S feet more
than mile. The fall Of the st. Mary's is Is
feet, and the canal is to be II feet deep. The
sides are to be inclined from canal bottom TO the
slope, of IL feet to / and are TO be walled with
stone, where there is not a natural wall, so that
they will present rock surface throughout. On
canal bottom the width is ga feet, consequently
| it is 100 feet WIDE The walled banks are to
rise feet above water line, making breadth OF
canal at tow-path bank l ID feet. There is a ba-
sin 400 it, long40 it, wider than the canal, placed
about 1000 feet above the locks. There are to
be two locks each $50 feet in length between
the gates, made with walls 10 feet thick at the
base, and strengthened by stone butresses OH the
outside II feet apart These will contain 49,
900 cubic yards of masonry, Of which probably
10000 yards must be brought in vessels from a
distance. Not less than 10000 tons of it come
in schooners from Maiden, near Detroit. The
locks are of sufficient capacity to admit the larg-
est steamers floating upon our lakes.
AT commencement of the work there were
205,36O cubic yards of rock and earth to be ia
ken out, above water The amount now re-
naming is less than one sixth Of this, and if
the work of the present month equals that of
the past, about six-sevenths of the entire exca-
vation work will he done above water leaving
something less than 10000 yards yet to take
out.
There will also be $4,000 yards of under wa
ter excavation, TO prepare for the upper pier,
the greater part of which is muck and gravel
The piers below are finished above water, and a
temporary one 800 feet in length is put up on
the north side of the canal, to accommodate the
great freighting vessels of the company.
The timber required for locks, piers, caisson
gate, &C., is nearly out Sothe great work OF
the coming season is the masonry of the lock.

A MORMON IN LMBo.-Bl Smith, the Nor

nowned founder of the Mormon Church, which
is becoming so noted, we might say throughout
the civilized worlds now closely confined in
the Jail at this place. He being indicted, gave
bail for his appearance at the last Circuit Court,
but, having got some presentiment-and we
think it would hardly require any supernatural
power to give 1t to him-that the case rather ia
vored The side of the people, he vacated these
parts. But owing to some disarrangement in
the Mormon underground railroad, or the adrot-
ness of the person in pursuit, he was brought
to halt at st. Louis and marched back to Dix
on He had started, we are told, for Salt Lake

NEVER DEsPAIR.-Ten years ago Professor
Morse was just erecting the first experimental
line of Telegraph, between Washington and
Baltimore Prof Morse, like all scientific ben
efactors, had exhausted his means, and had be-
come rs poor as Lazarus, and as lean and hun
CRY looking as any veritable Calvin Edison you
ever saw. One day while eating sumptuous
dinner of bread and moasses under the shade of
tree, about two miles from Washington, Amos
Kendall approached him with such n lean and
hungry look, that he ut once divided his dinner
with him, and before it was concluded, he gave
the dilapidated Postmaster General an interest
in his Telegraph Patent, which has since made
these two shadows Of shade corpulent with
wealth. They now 81 have lands and beeves,"
like master Robert Shallow, Esquire. There
are now, al 1892 miles of telegraph wires in this
country, with capital stock of $6,67l $780,
Professor Shaffner is about perfecting system
of union and concert of the various lines in this
country, with prospect of an ocean line soon
to be laid connecting us with the TRANSATLANTIC
Telegraph SO that the close neighborhood of
nations may be considered as settled.

DON'T EAT HORSE RADIsH TOO FREELY.-It
is almost hazardous to say any thing against q
condiment. so universally used and relished as
this, bu, word of caution is needed. Horse
radish is highly stimulating and exploring to
the stomach, and this effect is almost always
followed by asstudes and weakness. We
have met with several eases, where persons
have ignorantly used this root so freely as to be
scarcely able to labor at all.
Where it is needed as medicine, small
quantity ofhorse radish is doubtless beneficial
But we are quite sure, from considerable OBJ
servation of its effects upon ourselves and 9th
ers, that any person using a spoonful or more,
at a meal, will suffer in consequence, although
the cause of this suffering may not be perceived,
since it produces a stimulating effect for the
first hour or two after eating it.

The N. Y. Journal of Commerce gives the
following description of a queer sort of a char.
acter:
New York possesses many remarkable char.
acters-remarkable for very diverse reasons, but
generally for their eccentricity. We have one
in mind, a Madame Del, who is now probably
sixty years old, and lives apparently in extreme
restitution, in the garnet of the house she ownS
She pays taxes on $4,000 of real estate and
$1,lOO personal property, and owns banking and
railroad stock to the amount Of something like
$4,000. In the street, her appearance is well
calculated to excite commiseration. Indeed some
kind hearted individual, few days ago, benevo-
lentIy offered her one cent, as a gratuity. The
insult, however, was resented, as become her in
suited honor. Diminutve in statute and de-
cripid, her head is covered with hood, slouched
and almost perennial. The cloak is well match
ed, and appears to have done good service, as
the folds in the cloth are mostly worn to the
warp. Her daily food consists of shilling loaf
of bread, which is left ct her door regularly, and
there is added to this small portion of meat or
such other food as she sees fit to obtain at the
market. Even these small comforts are shared
in solitude, in her quiet retreat. The human
face divine has no charms for her. Her property
naturally descends to nephew living in Cincin-
natl, and the old lady's greatest fear is, that he
may get it.

New YoKR, April %,


The caloric ship Ericsson went down the bay
yesterday on trial trip. She returned when
the storm was raging and when opposite the
Glass House dock, Jersey City, squall struck
her, while the fireman was heaving cinders from
a side port, which is a very large one, and held
her down, putting her starboard side under the
water, and before she could be righted, she filled
and sunk in about fathoms of water and 800
yards from the shore.
The steamer Ericsson still remains in the same
condition as at last accounts. She cost 100000
and is insured for 100000.
