The Assets Of a Mercantile House.

A commission merchant, whose name is
familiar on Buffalo Change as household
words and whose wit aud humor never
dry up under any condition of things, a
few years since went to Oswego; and as
has been publicly announced, has "suspcn-

to have occurred:

afternoon, gentleman from Georgia, who
is stopping at Jones' Hotel, fell in with a
couple Of individuals, one, wearing gar

from China, who proposed Il walk to Laurel

a curious bali, which he declared was a

A SONNET.

The following 15eaeal Gopa is from the
Norfolk sicaaad, and has the trae ring of
genius IN it.
a star upon the stream, bestowing
Its looks of love, and hope and care
Found while the storm was wildly blowing,
No light, no love reflected there.
But, when the boistcrous wind was hushcd,
a glance betrayed the streamlcts love;
Deep in its placid bosom blushcd
The image of the star above.
So thou, when gazing on my soul,
As tempest tost by worldly strife,
Seest but the maddening waves that roll
Aerosstnc surging stream of life.
But when, in wonied calm, each feeling,
Eaen troubled thought, doth swectly rest
Thy glance bcholds my heart revealing
Thine image, smiling in my breas'. l.. A. s..

Dcaeoning Colres Afhis term, in the
dairy districts, is applied to the killing of
calves soon after birth. There is no ready
market for veil at remuneratigc prices, and
the calf is knocked in the head at the age OF
three days. The milk of the COW for four
or flve weeks is worth more for butter aGd
cheese than it would be to fattcn the calf for
the butcher. 1t is the prevalence of this
practice in the dairy regions that. makes
beef cattle 50 scarce and high. Hundreds
of thousands of calves are thus. prcmaturely
slaughtered every, year "a single tanncry
near Riehfeld Springs uses up 5000
skins of these 'dcaconed' calves annually.
