A ToUdH STORY, OR ToUGH GOOSE An
English paper says that " Mr. Everett, farmer,
Of Kirby Lodge, near Rockingham, has goose
which he vouches to be OF least ninety three
years old. II has been on his farm full fifty
years, and passed the former part of it's life on
the farm adjoining. 1t is a large, fine fowl,
with head and neck as white as snow, and has
lately Matched brood Of goslings from its own
eggs Mr.. Z. has a book, stating it's age and
history, which he can authenticate" Should
MIR Everett give his time to investigate the
genealogy of the wonderful goose, we have no
doubt it would prove a lineal descendant of
those patriotic birds that cackled upon acertain
occasion at Rome.

Nor TO re FooLED.--One of the dog prisoners
related to us an incident yesterday, says the
Cincinnati Atlas, which occurred on the evening
previous, near the corner of Sixth and Plum
streets, The poisoner threw down piece of
meat; the dog smelt it, turned it over and over
with his paw, and, shaking his head, walked
away and left it. In few minutes after, a
small Is bow WOW" came along and took it in
his mouth. The large dog ran towards him and
barked and made terrible fuss, but the little
cur swallowed the meat and in q few minutes
lay dead in the streets. The large dog was of
the Newfoundland species, and valued by his
owners as being worth s75.

The reported failure Of the Mechanics and Traders
Branch at Cincinnati is a small matter. 1t is merely
the closing Of branch under the conservative powers
Of the controlling board. This branch has been in
process of closing up for some time In August last
it, capital had been reduced to eco and its entire
circulation to s47 339. The failure or the suspen-
sion Of the principal of the bank made it ex-
pedient to close il up Deposits and circulation we
are informed, are paid without interruption.
The people of Ohio were never in more healthy
condition, financially than now. Traders, merchants
and railroads are hard pressed for money and must
make great sacrifices, and many Of them may per-
haps fail. An abundance Of money would, to such
as have overtraded, only postpone awhile the day of
reckoning which surely awaits them. The effect
Of the failure of private bankers will be much less
than generally supposed.
