The New York Tribune copies from Hunts
Merchants Magazine table of the prices of
wheat per bushel at Albany, on the LIST of
January, for the last sixty-one years, and
upon this table remarks:
" You will notice that only five times in all
those years wheat has been So or upward per
bushel, while it was seventeen times at 81 or
under-twice at rs cents. Only once in 81
years, that is since 1917, to wit, in 1927 has it
reached 50. The average price for the whole
period is $l,38. For the last thirty years it is
$l,25, and we give it as a prophecy, which
we think may be relied upon that that will be
the price next January. Those who are inter-
ested may as well make a note of that. The
crop of wheat is too good, too wide extended,
and the demand for export to Europe Or Cal
ifornia too limited, and -four spectators too
hard up to maintain present prices. You
may as well mark that, Messrs. Farmers and
Wheatbuyers."

REMARKABLE CHOLERA 1NcIDENT.-In very
many instances of cholera, it is a fact that
life and perception exist in the patients long
after both appear to have departed and those
around them deem them dead.
The Attas gave striking account of this
the other evening, since which we have heard
of another, none the less remarkable, and
which is vouched for by the attending physi-
clan. 1t occurred here in IS49.
The subject of the incident was an old and
eccentric citizen, and good man withal, well
known throughout the city. Anticipated in
his taste and notions, his invariable companion
at all times and on all occasions, was a huge,
old fashioned silver " bulls eye watch, ven
cradle from age, and commanding both respect
and attention from its colossal proportions
and the Ineligible movements of its ponder
Gus works
Now, as we have said, the watch was the
invariable companion Of the old gentleman,
and he had conceived pride and affection for
it, which was only increased by the sundry
innovations which at the date we speak of,
had been so fully made, and which he receiv-
ed with intense contempt. Daily could he be
met in the streets, the watch suspended from
his neck with massive cord, and on the lat
ter swinging brass key, of size proportion
ate to its service on the !" bulls eye." Every
block or two would the watch be pulled out,
eyed with an unmistakable expression of
pride, affection and approval, wound up, and
again deposited in its quarters. The opera
ton was invariable-so much so, that the odd
gentleman and his watch - had mutually be-
come town features. One day, during the
cholera, in the year above given, the old gen.
tleman was taken down with it. and notwith-
standing prompt and continued assistance,
failed rapidly, and, as it was thought, died.
His old and faithful watch-his attendant
in sickness as in health-lay during the illness
upon table, within reach of the bed, its loud
tickings seemingly mournful and subdued, as
though conscious that each one brought it
nearer to the final separation. While the
physician and friends ofits master were stand
ing near his bed consulting as to the time and
manner of his burial, the corpse, long since
cold as ice, and motionless as the grave, with
out premonition suddenly Strengthened up,
the eyes opened, the hand stretched forth and
seized the long loved watch-with careful
fondness it was wound up, replaced on the ia
Bile, and the body fell back and died The
CONSERVATION of the by-standers was intense
at this sudden and CHASTITY performance, and
all save the physician and attendant fled
these two promptly attempted to resus citate,
but life had finally fed.
We give this vouched for fact as another in
stance of the strange caprices of the disease.

EXAGGERATIoN IN LANGUAGE.-The habit
OF exaggeration in language should be guard
ed against; it misleads the c-edulous and
oitends the perceptive it imposes on us the
society of bolloon, when a moderately sized
scull would fill the place much better it be-
gets much evil in promising what it cannot
perform, and we have often found the most
glowing declarations Of intended good service
end in mere Irish vows. Those who, when
we ask favor, affirm they will do it, " cost
what it may, and though they may have to
"move heaven and earth," are never found
by us to be so likely to confer il as a certain
steady person we could name, who says lie
will &" do it if he can" Strong exaggeraton
in everyday language should he avoided, we
think, as being mentally unhealthy and con-
versationally wearying. A straight forward
intentioo in speech is as greatful to associates
as well ordered dress, and we feel as much
donbt and dislike in talking to one, with very
inferior intellect, filings all sorts of loquacious
yeast IN our ears as we should in grasping an
unwashed coarse hand, covered with paste
rings.-Eyiza Cook

DEATH OF A SENAToR.-Rev. Joseph Whit
man, one of the Senators of Worcester Coun-
ty, died at his residence in Hopkinton, on
Wednesday last. Mr.. Whitman has been
very sick during the Summer, but had nearly
recovered, and retired to bed on Wednesday
evening, as well as he had been for many
days. During the night he was suddenly at
tackled with disease of the heart. and died al
most Immediately. Mr.. Whitman at the time
of his death was Cashier of the Hopkinton
Bank.
The Milford Journal, in noticing the death
of Mr.. W., says =" During his residence
among us, he was ever engaged-frst as pas
tor of the Methodist Church, then as a pri-
waite citizen, and finally as State Senator,-in
efforts TO promote the public veal. He had
the confidence and respect of all, and the
warmest affection of those who knew him best.
During his entire ministry, he " as instrument
tai in the organization of some fifteen church.
es, and the building of twelve houses of wor-
ship. His firm and consistent advocacy of
the rights of humanity the cause of pure re-
ligion and sound morality, endeared him to
the friends of progress. Such will long mourn
his loss. 1t is unnecessary to say more than
that a really GOOD man has ceased his labors
gone to receive reward as SUCH Heaven

REMOVAL OF CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
A despatch from Philadelphia states that the
newly elected School Directors in the lower
section of the city have removed some fifteen
of the teachers in the public schools within
the last few days, on, it is understood, secta-
rian grounds, all the discharged teachers be-
longing to the Roman Catholic Church.
Much feeling is being manifested among the
friends of the teachers, and the matter seems
likely to widen to great extent the already
existing breach between the Protestants and
Catholics in that city.

LOCAL NEWS.
Mrs. Mncrendr.

reading on Saturday evening. To say we
were pleased would be but giving faint ex-
preston to our feelings on the occasion. We
were indeed highly delighted and charmed by
precision of every one we have heard speak in
relation to it. The peculiar charm of Mrs.
Macready is her extreme grace and natural
ness of style, and the utter and comp lete for
getfulness of self, during her personation of
the various characters she represents also,
her quick transition from one to the other, for
instance, the penetrating and pathetic tones
of the heart broken Fianca were thrilling
second is heard the beautiful and gushing
tones Of child's voice, addressing its mother,
in buoyancy and gladness, namely the Boy
and his Angel.
The poem by Mrs. E. A. Lewis, was like
wise exquisitely given, and beautiful in its
effect. Mrs. Macready leaves us to-day for
Newport, where we understand she also in
tends to give reading. We most earnestly
hope to have the pleasure of soon seeing her
in our midst once again, and in the name of
many we assure her she will ever meet with a
hearty welcome and warm reception from her
New England friends. who take unbounded
pride and pleasure in fostering true genius and
merit whenever and wherever it comes with
in their notice.

Rev. James Cooper, Who raised such dust
in South Groton, last winter, by promising
to marry half the marriageble ladies in his
congregation, has turned up again at Denton,
Caroline county, Nd, where he has been
playing his old games of preaching and prom
Using with his accustomed success. He went
by the name Of John Howard, got into good
society, by virtue of a letter of recommends
ton, from Rev. Abel Stevens, and into the
pulpit on the strength of license from Rev.
Thomas G. Hayes, of Richmond, Va; got
temporary engagement to preach, and two
engagements to get married, when, unluckily
for him, one of the ladies' to whom he had
engaged himself, wrote to Mr.. Stevens, to as
certain something more about her future lord,
and received letter in reply, to the effect,
that Mr.. Stevens had never heard of the gem
tleman before. This produced an explosion,
and failing to prevail upon the other young
lady to run away with him, he ran away him
self, but returning again he was first threat
ened with lynch law, and finally arrested and
committed to Jail, where he now remains.

A JEWISH MoBALIsT ON THE Use OF WINE.
" If man drinks one glass, he loses fourth
part OF his reason; if he drinks 2, he losses
one half if he drinks 8, three fourths of his
reason are gone, he becomes vicious and be-
gins to talk at random if he drinks four, his
reason is entirely overthrown, his vicious pro-
pensties reign; his tongue refuses its office,
and though he may wish to speak, he cannot"
