The latest issue of this invaluable Magazine
We got n glimpse of the other day soon after
the mail arrived, but laying it aside for n more
convenient opportunity, it suddenly and mys
teriously disappeared-aud high nor low it
can't be found. We suppose it was cribbeL
by some one inrevenge for our refusing to lend
it. This is too bad, indeed, but we must bear
our loss with that wisdom which we have had
to exercise on many similar occasions. If the
purloiner will return it We will pay fifty cents
towards subscribing for q copy for him. What
say you?

The Philadelphia Inquirer, speaking Of the
false reports about the state of the crops on
account of the drought, says: But if we give
a full crop of Corn at 100000, 900 bushels, and
take off one third in consequence of the great
drought, we have the following estimates: In
dian corn 467,o0O,O0O, Wheat 100000 900,
Rye l%5,0O0,00O, Oats 15o,O0O,ooO Irish Pota-
toes Zone half } 4~o,0OO,Ooo, Sweet Potatoes
100000, Buckwheat 10000, 900, Rice 5,ooo,.
900, Basley 100000, Peas and Beans 10000.
900. Here, we have an immense aggregate.
Surely this would seem enough for twenty six
millions of people, especially in connection
with the fact that the harvests in Europe are
abundant, and the demand from that quarter
will, therefore, be limited.

Our Parish.

Perhaps our parish was never in a more -four
ishing condition than at present. Every body
seems to be doing well, as far as outward ap
pearances 60; and if there is any crime stalk.
ing abroad, it is kept hidden very secretly, for
there is not now, nor has there been for a long
time, any white or black person in Jail, with
the exception Of runaways. Litigation, too,
appears to have got to a stand still, as may be
judged from the lack of judicial sales in the
public papers. Indeed, lawyers, sheriff, clerk,
(and we may add the printer) and all who live
upon the misfortunes of others, are bitterly
complaining Of this lamentable state of affairs.
For the good of the people, however, it is to
be hoped that the docket will continue as it is.
Really, SO prosperous are all, and so plenty
does money appear to be (not to our pockets,
however,) that if sugar should happen to take
a rise of Two or three cents, there would be SO
much gold'in the parish that the people would
worry themselves to death studying what to do
with it, how to appropriate or how to take care
of it. The yellow eagles wonld cause more
destruction to human life than yellow Jack
For fear of this rise in our principal staple, and
Of mo"ey getting The upper hand Of us, we think
that we had better turn our attention to the
building of Railroads, Colleges, Seminaries,
and to the determination of men and newspa-
pers, who and which dare to express sentiments
to a union of Americans for the sake
of the Union!

A short time since our able New York cor,
respondent, PINK, in announcing the failure OF
Messrs. Alfred Edwards g. Co., of new York,
stated that there were three partners, each
OF whom spent 100000 a year, and that the
rent of their store was $4,000. A letter sign.
ed by the firm, dated the 9Th inst, says that
there were only two partners; that the expen-
diture Of the Senior did not exceed $4,000. and
that of the Junior $1,000, and that the rent of
their store was only $4,000. Their indebted.
ness exceeds $5o0,00O, but their assets arc
nomlnaily more than that amount. So says the
Charleston Courier.

SUfnGiinY the Country Press.

We have recently been called upon to SYM
pathize with more than one of our country con.
tenporaries, who have been swindied out OF
large amounts of advertising, by bogus con-
Germs in New York, who are as hard to find
and as worthless when found, rs a Western
wild cat Bank. The modus operendi is to open
an office with nothing in it but a chair and desk,
and to send of long advertisements to country
newspapers, either of quack medicines, or bust.
ness secrets by which fortunes are made by
magic, promising to remit the amount when
the advertising bill is rendered. In the mean
time they pick up a little cash from the "hats''
in the rural districts; but when the newspaper
agent comes round to collect his bill, the adver-
tiser is non comatibus. If our contemporaries
will take the precaution to demand cash in adj
vance, they will save themselves from many
losses; and soon kill off a large class of Jeremy
bidders, who make their head quarters in New
York, only to lay pipes for sucking the green
horns from the country.-N. Y. Mirror.
1t was no later than a few days back that we
gottwo advertisements from N: York, one from
the Agent Palmer-not our agent however, 'by
a jug full and who already owes US for work
.done-asking US to "insert the above adver-
tisement of VIM. Schmoele; Dean, penn Med
ical University of Philadelphia weekly, to the
amount Of three dollars" He likewise wishes
the paper to be sent to him regularly during
the period Of the advertisements insertion
one paper to be sent also to the Dean-and
in conclusion, wishes US to "gratify" him by
publishing the accompanying editorial notice!
and finally, to "charge his Philadelphia Agen.
cy" Here's impudence! Mr.. Palmer, truly,
must think we are hard run to publish Phila.
delphia advertisements. Wen just hint to him
here, that we would be equally "gratifed" if
he would remit the ten dollars he has owed
for six or seven years for advertising for DR..

cepting that also, which is more, we perceive,
than some of our contemporaries have DONE
1t is from "Harcourt, Bradley g. Co., 50 Ann
street and lO2 Nassau street, New York." and
in their letter they say, "Please insert the two
following advertisements in your journal for
three months weekly, in a most conspicuous
position, at your lowest terms; you will also
please send US a copy Of your paper contain

like 'hot cakes" in this parish, and if they will
remit US $40, ~ some guarantee that they do
not belong to the tosus fraternity of which
the Mirror speaks, we will insert their alyer-
tiscments at our lowest rates, send them the

credit also for fair dealing, and for honesty and
