Importnnt Reduction orTOIIs.

The information conveyed below
will be received with pleasure by a
large portion of our citizens, ,-espe-
cially by millers, forwarders and canal
Ooatmen. st <.
At meeting of the Board Of Pub
lie Works, held on Monday, the 18th
inst, it was
"Ordered, That on Pork and Whis-
ky, and High Wines, on the Mus
kingum Improvement, or on the Ohio,
Hooking, or Walhonding Canals, the
tolls shall hereafter be 3 mills per
mile por 1000 pounds, ard not to ex-
ceed for any distance 40 cents per
1000 pounds; and also, that the maxi
mum toll charged hereafter on Iron
(pig and scrap,) shall not exceed for
any distance 80 cents per 1000 pounds.
"Ordered, That on Flour shipped
to Cleveland from GAINESVILLE, or from
any point on the Ohio Canal between
Newark and Port Washington (both
inclusive,) the tolls shall not exceed
30 cents per 1000 pounds"
The maximum rate on Pork has
heretofore been 70 cents per 1000
pounds; on Whisky and High Wines
80 cents, and on Flour 80 cents. The
reduction, it will be seen, is therefore
quite an important one, and will ena-
bic the Canals to compete with the
railroads for a large item of freights
of which it has latterly been deprived
to a very great extent

Laughter.

Laughter is not altogether foolish
thing. Sometimes there is even wisdom
in it. Solomon himself admits there is
a time to laugh, as well as time TO
mourn. Man only laughs-man the
highest organized being; and hence the
definition that has been proposed OF
"Man, a laughing animal" Certainly I!
defines him as well as a "cOoking ANIMAL"
a "tool making ANIMAL" ''money ma
king ANIMAL" political animal, y or
such like. Laughter very often shows
the bright side of the man. 1t brings out
his hap pier nature, and shows of what sort
of stuff he is really made. Somehow we
feel as if we never thoroughly know a
man until we hear him laugh. The SOL
emn, sober visage, like a Sundays dress,
tells nothing of the real man. He may
be very silly or profound; very cross or
Jolly. Let us hear him laugh, and we
can decipber him at once, and tell how
his heart beats. We are disposed to
suspect the man who never laughs. Al
all events, there is repulsion about hin
which we cannot ge, over. Lavater says
"Shun that man who never laughs, wht
dislikes music or the glad face of a child.
This is what everybody feels, and non
more than children, who are quick a
reading characters and their instinc
rarely deceives them.- Blackwood.
