The Lumber Trade.

The tenor of our advices from Phila-
delphia, through persons largely interest
cd in the traffic in lumber, and intelli.
gent and discriminating in all that re.
latcs thereto, leads us to conclude that
the prospects for prices remunerating tc
the lumbermen is better than.it was two
or three months ago, though still involved
in doubt and dependent upon contingen
cies
Taking both towns and country into
account, it seems 10 DO conceded thai
there will be as much if not more, build
ing the present year than in any prcvi
Gus one. In towns there may be less
in the country there will be more. The
farmers have had several prosperous
years in succession, with continuance
of high prices for all their products; and
being prosperous, are in a condition tt
supply themselves with improved dwell
ings and barns.
The stocks Of lunlb ber in the hands o
the dealers are large; and the opinion i:
prevalent among lumbcrmen that price:
will inevitably be low. What the actua
range of prices will be will depend very
much on the order of the spring freshets
and the character of the men first in mar
kct with rafts.
The longer the first freshet shall holt
off, the better, We think, it will be for the
lumbcrmen, provided its continuance bt
short, If it shall not come till late, anG
shall then hold long, most of the lumber
will arrive in market simultaneously, and
unity of action on the part of purchasers
with vascillation and doubt On the part o
many lumbermen, will establish low rates
So, if the first freshet shall come soon
and those first getting to market will
lumber are nccessitous and timid, low
rates will be likely to be established anC
20 prevail through the season. While i
those who FIRST arrive are SO circumstan
ccd as to be able to hold on, and have
the decision and frmnoss requisite to dc
SO, last springs prices may be realized ,og
nearly apprczimated.
Large ash logs and wharf timber vii
be perhaps in better demand than any
other descriptions Of lumber.
Our information from the upper Della,
ware leads US to conclude that while the
number of logs banked for rafting is
greater than it was last year, the average
size of the legs is less, and consequently
that there is not an increase, but falling
of, in the bulk in preparation for market
Of sawed stuff We think the quantity i,
decidedly less than it was year ago; at
least in this county.
We trust that events will so fall out
that the lumber will bring fair prices; but
as We have already said, much depends
upon the order of the freshcts and the
sort of men who irst get TO market

A Model Dun.

An editor "out West" thus talks to his
paying subscribers and patrons. If
his appeal does not bring the "pewter,"
We think he need never try again.
"Fi1endS, Patrons, Subscribers and Ad-
rerttSer: Hear US for our debts, and get
ready that you may pay; trust US, we
are in need, and have regard for our need,
for you have been long trusted; acknowl-
edge your Indebtedness, and dive into
your pockets, that you may promptly fork
over If there be any among you, one
single patron that don't owe US some
thing, then to him we say--"step aside;
consider yourself gentleman" If the
rest wish to know why We dun them, this
is our answer: "Not that we care about
cash ousclves, but our creditors do:"-
Would you rather that We 60 to Jail, and
you go free, than you pay your debts. and
we all keep moving! As we agreed, We
have worked for you; as we contracted
we have furnished our paper to you; a.
we promised, we have waited upon YOU.
but, as you don't pay we dun youl Hero
are agreements for job work; contracts
for subscription; promises for long cred
its; and dues for deferred payment Who
is there so mean that he don't take pa.
per- If any, he needn't speak-we done
mean him. Who is there so green that
that he don't advertise ? If any, let him
slide-he amt the chap either. Who is
there so bad that he don't pay the print
er? If any let him shout-for he's tho
man we're after His name is Legion,
and he's been owing US for one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven and eight years
long enough to make US poor, and himself
rich at our expense. If the above appeal
to his conscience doesn't awake him to
sence of justice, we shall have to try the
law and see what virtue there is in writs
and conStables."

The senior editor of the Louisville
Journal was in Washington for some
weeks previous to the recent adjournment
of Congress. He gave the following:
4 couple Of merry fellows, one of them
distinguished member of Congress from
Southern State, and the other a dis
tinguished x-edtor from Kentucky, con.
cocted letter purporting to be address
ed by young lady to a very fine look
ing gentleman. 1t was got up in first
rate style. The pretended lady set forth
therein that she had several times seen
the gentleman she was addressing, that
she was captivated by his fine face aud
N anly form, that her heart was deeply
touched by all she saw and heard of him,
and that she mast make bis acquaintance
before his departure from the city, that
she hoped and prayed he would forgive
her seeming boldness, as it was the first
imprudent act of her life, that she had al
ways moved and was still moving in the
highest circles of the capital, that she
would be upon certain square of a cer-
tain street at precisely IL o'clock on the
following day, in dress which she de-
scribed with great particularity, and that
she hoped and trusted he would meet her
and thus afford her an opportunity of a
brief personal intercourse with the idol of
her heart The two wags had between
thirty and forty of this letter written by a
female friend of theirs, and they sent
these copies to between thirty and forty
members of Congress, selecting those Of
course who were known to entertain a
very exalted opinion of their own person
al fascinations
Everything being thus arranged, the
two jokers called upon US and another
young gentleman, explained what they
had done, and invited US to get into their
carriage, ride with them to the point of
assignation and see the sights. We IN
hestatingly consented, and we saw sights
sure enough. Riding upon the designa-
ted square, We beheld the whole of the
thirty or forty members, Northern men
and Southern men, Wings, Dem ocrats
and Know Nothings, walking to and fro,
all gazing in every direction and at eve
ry female figure to discover the object of
their anxious search.
We concluded that if few more cop
les Of the letter had been sent to mem
bers of the House of Representatives, the i
House would have had to adjourn for the
want of quorum.
