CURIoUs TYroGRAPHIcAL ERROR.-Pro-
fessor Trench, in his latest work on the Eng
lish language, points out a curious typograph-
ical error in the 2O,h verse Of the Odd chapter
OF Mathew. The words (which strain at
gnat and swallow camel" the Professor thinks
contain misprint, which having been passed
over in the edition Of 1911, has held its ground
ever since. The uanslators intended to say,
(which strain Om gnat and swallow camel"
that being correct rendering of the original,
as appears in Tyndale's and Crann,er's trans
latious. both Of which have "strained out" 1t
is the custom OF the Stricter Jews to strain
their wine, vinegar and other liquids through
linen or gauze. lest unawarrs they should
drunk down some unclean insect. as gnat and
thus ,ransgress the Levitral law. 1t was to
this custom the Savior alluded, intending to
say that the Scribes and Pharsees, while they
strain out gnat from their drink would yet
swallow camel at gulph.

Fifteen acres of wood and timber land will
furnish the farmer his ordinary timber and wood
for two fires. Ten cords of wood suffice for any
man to keep two fires the year round, provided
he has H. hit rooms and good stoves.
The farmer should commence on one side of
his lot, and cut the wood clean as he goes. In
this manner the young shoots come up alike as
they receive the alike. Now say there are
thirty cords of wood to the acre; if he cuts ten
cords of wood wear, it will take him three years
to cut off the wood of a single acre, and it will
take him forty five years to cut the wood off of
his lot of fifteen acres. At the end of fOrtv-fve
years, he may 90 back to the first he cut,
and cut TIN ty cords to the acre. On our upland,
wood will grow to thirty cords to the acre in
thirty years.
Thirty four years since, recOllect Of
sist;n, in clearing fourteen acres of wool land,
and getting the same into rye After the crop
of winter rye was taken, it was pastured for
year two, and then suffered to grow up. The
growth white oak, yellow ok, rcd oak,
chestnut and maple. Seven years since that
same rye field vas cut over, and there was not
a single of it but what pro luced thirty cords
to the acre. And this in - years.

Bonnets Of white tulle are still much In favor, par
tcularly for young ladies' Those trimmed with
wreaths OF wid roses, clematis, daisies, blue corn
flowers. or simply with lunches OF long grass, are
exceedingly charming AMI becoming. Some are
trimmed with shaded ribbons mixed with blonde.
Bonnets composed Of silk and Grape have, we
think, very good effect. and will be much worn az
the season advances They are generally trimmed
with violettes Of blonde and wreaths Of small fow-
ers round the crown and curtain.
r Lace is much used in the manufacture Of bonnets
Those made with English point are most in favor.
They should be lined with color contrasting well
with the dress, and trimmed with ribbon and
flowers not too pale. Black lace bonnets are also
partially worn; when trimmed with azales or fancy
geraniums they are certainly not wanting in ele
gance, and, perhaps, form the most becoming Golf

Fruit Is still much used for coiffures de bal. The

larry in light hair.

lnomas Crawford, ESQ.,. the American sculptor,
was IN Richmond last week, and closed a contract
with Governor Wise for the completion of the monu-
ment, by placing on the four vacant circular pedes
tails the statues of George Mason the author Of the
Virginia declaration OF Rights in l776, the first
made in America; Chief Justice John Marshall;
General Andrew Lewis, the hero of Point Pleasant
and General Thomas Nelson, of Yorktown, dis
tinenished sons Of Virginia Thus, in the language
OF Governor Wise's Lexington oration:-
The monument may be Ideal OF the colonial State in
Lewis-the Revolution in Henry-ofa written con,t
tuition and bill Of right in Mason-of Independence in
aJenerson-oi the ways aud meuns and actit of the
revolution IN Nelson-and OF the adjustment OF the
times by judiciary in a Marshal--and the whole be
surnounted by the head Of ALL the ownng glory OF all
in a Washington.
In consultation with Mfr. Crawford II was deter
mired to ornament the six lower Rectangular pedcs
tails not with eagles, as originally designed, but
with trophies representing the peculiar characteris
tics of the men TO whose statues these pcestas be-
long The idea, all will admit, is appropriate aud
beautiful.
Mr.. Crawford is now in Washington whittier he
has cent some exquisite models repre- senting the
Progress of Civilization in America, for pediment
of the extension of the Capitol. Mr.. Crawford will
sail for Europe the 18th September to finish his
works for Virginia and other places. II is proper
that we should state that Mr. Crawford expressed
the highest satisfaction with the beautiful and sub
stantial style in which the granite structure of the
monument on our Capitol square has been COM
pleted.
II is confidently expected that the equestrian at y
tue of Washington, now boxed up in Munich, will
be brought over from Amsterdam during the au-
tumn, by the United States steam propeller Meri-
mack, Captain Pendergast At Norfolk it will be
placed upon large ark and towed up to Richmond.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

MONDAY, Aug. 1876

MONDAY, Aug 1876 p. M.
The stock market does not exhibit any important
variation. There appears to be less disposition to
sell and the operations are therefore more limited
The tendency Of prices continues downward, and at
the first board to-day lower prices ruled. Indiana
SIS fell on per cent? Pennsylvania Coal }; Erie, 1;
Reading, .; Michigan Southern, 4; Cleveland and
Toledo, &; Chicago and Rock Island, I. Galena and
Chicago opened at 1913 per cent cash and closed at
io7, buyer 60 days The market Is in very unset
tied condition. An Improvement in prices is out of
the question until the Of contraction passe
away; but in several leading railroad stocks prices
rule low enough to remove apprehensionso further
decline Of consequence. large portion Of the de-
probation In market value of stocks generally has
teen realized in anticipation Of the cause and 1t is
possible that when The comes the effect may
be just the contrary. We are always in advance Of
events. We invariably anticipate the effect Of Ger.
tain causes, particularly IN tho financial world, and
IT 10 therefore possible that In the very
mds. Of the bank contraction better prices
may rule for stocks. shis Ia possible but II lrdy
probable. Throughout the recent decine in prices
we have noticed very large transactions on time
buyers option thirty and sixty days. Where Ties
operations have been made by weak parties, and
where there has been no concert Of action, there
been any combination for sudden call for stock in
large lots, sellers may find prices inflated by an
tive demand for stock for delivery on contracts.
This Ia more likely to occur in Erie than any other
on the list. II Is hardly the proper time for such
combinations. Many Of the most active outside
operators out Of town; and al this season 1t is
difficult to mako up parties sufficiently strong to
control the market and influence prices When the
market has reached It's greatest depression, we may
look for these combinations aud some important
coineripR operations. The time is coming when the
inducements 10 purchase the better class OF railroad
stocks win be create than have been known for many
years. The returns from our most productive roads
are coming In favorably, and If no worse manage
ment creeps into their financial affairs they must
show larger net earnings, which guarantee better
