CAN A HUsBAED OPEN ms WpE's
LETTERs?-A legal question Of delicate
nature is now exciting extraordinary in
terest in Westphalia, viz, whether a hus-
band has right to open his wife's letters
The question arose out Of suit for di-
vorce, instituted by the husband, in
which he obtained decree; but the con-
elusive piece Of evidence was letter from
the Lothario, addressed to the wife, and
the contents Of which would never have
been Known had not the husband been so
ungallant as to break the seal. The di-
vorced wife at once prosecuted him for
opening the letter, and the tribunal has
decided that he was wrong and has sen
fenced him TO payment Of fine: An
appeal is pending, the result Of which is
anxiously wat,hed by the public.

another diatribe against crinoline. I, for
one, am not going to exhibit myself ia the
character Of writer who yainly opposes
one Of The existing institutions Of the

rHB April SHOWER,

by edward C. GOODWIN.
Ere earliest day heard a tread,
Like fairies trooping overhead;
Drop after drop The spring shower felR
Drop after drop, like Ginning bell,
Or el6n's horn,
Who called his hammered hosts around
And old earth bound
Till coming dawn.
Loud cried the Fay "while chill winds sigh
Through every wood and valley fly,
That blossoming, The light shall sec
The violet and Rnemone
Forth from my bowers
Call out the skylarks, gem the grass,
The mountain pass
Refresh with showersw
Their snow.white palfroys prancing free,
With tinkling hoofs swept quick by me,
And then my dreams wrought ships at sea;
And one that from some eastern land
Bore balm and spices, and band
OF captive girls;
her White sails ghstened meath the cloudsi
Aud all her shrouds
Seemed hung with pearls
Who could not dream while spice winds blow
And rock his vessel 10 aud froG
Drop after drop the spring rain fell
Drop after drop; / slumlcrcd well,
And when l woke, the garden bowers
And tufted flowers
Remained to tell
That what our disappointments know
From life's cold rain and drifting snow,
Is cancelled by love that swells
The iessamines and aspbodels,
Which with u trusting faith incline
To the sunshine
Their quivering bells.

Interesting statI.tlcr.

The cattle trade of Ohio has grown
very extensively Of la;e years. From
statistics in tho Philadelphia Nortk
Amerieqa we learn that in 1855 the State
sent $4,000 head TO New York city, and
in 1857 $4,000 head. besides some 15.,
600 sent TO Philadelphia, and many to
Baltimore. At tleast 1000 head Of cattle
were sent to these three cities in 1851
The hog trade is far greater. and aotwith-
standing that the number ofliye and
dressed hogs exported from the State has,
in the past few years, increased rapidly,
the numbers packed in Cincinnati have
not declined. According to the annual
report Of the commissioner of statistics,
just published, the aggregate value Of
farm products is St32, ZOO, 900, and the
net profits S573Oo, 900. The price. of
wood for fuel varies from 81 go to so. rs
per cord. and is highest in counties
through which main lines Of railway pass,
on account Of the vast quantities Of
wood consumed by the locomotives Th5es
roads consume annually the product Of
twelvethousand acres of land Farm labor
is uniformly high, the average wages be .
ing Sl5 per month aud tord. This is
owing to the growth Of towns and manu-.
factures, which steadily causes the agri.
cultural supply to diminish, SO that large
farmers are only able to secure their crop
by the use Of machinery. There ar 1900
steam engines. equiyalontto to 10000 horse
power, 2.200 grist mills, 3. 740 saw mills,
l75 planning mills, 70 oil mills. Inio57
there were made by the principal factories
