that came to hand on the lth day of january day
long to be remembered one just like great many of
its fellows this Winter-a day of pouring rain. He
also says: at has been Winter with scarcely any

our scarcely any is so next to none, that it is
scarcely remembered as any. lie also says;
"The prospect throughout that region is fair for
good wheat crop next season. Much wheat was sOme

We learn from The Nev- Orleans Bulletin that
subscription has been opened in that city for the pur.
pose Of presenting to Commodore Paulding sword
Of honor and to the officers and crew of the frigate
Wabash a flag as an evidence of the approval of
their acts by those who subscribe. Ii Is rather re-
markable that the first step toward presenting testi-
monia TO Commodore Pauldng should have origi.
nased in the very place which has been represented
as being the most bitter toward him.
One of the witnesses in the trial of Smith, for the
murder of Richard Carter whom he alleged was the

HEAVY BrRGLARY.-On Thursday night burglary
perpetratcd at the store of Messrs Howe 4 Co.,
i'll College Place, which displayed considerable inge-
nuity the pnt OF the thieves. The circumstances
are follows On Saturday last the first floor of the
dwelling house No. 40 Robinson street, the rear OF
which adoins the store of Howe Co., rented by
family. The apartments were thoroughly cleansed,
the family moved in, aud no person suspected any
thing wrong in relation to the new occupants until
Yesterday when il was discovered that the new ten
ants HAD ''yam0sed the rancho, leaving behind them
six new chairs looking glass, and two mattresses.
The remaining occupants III the house were somewhat
mysted in relation to the conduct of those who had
engaged the first floor, but facts were developed
which cleared up the mystery. Upon the store of
Messrs. Howe Il Go. being opened on Monday morn
ing was discovered that the premises had been bur-
glariously entered and $4,000 worth of sewing-Sk
stolen therefrom. An examination Of the premises
resulted in the discovery that wall in the of the
store had been scaled, and iron window in the
basement forced OPEN and thus entrance effected.
Suspicion at Tell upon the parties who had hired
the rooms in Robinson street, but no traces of them
have yet been obtained.

IMMICRATIos FOR lSjS.-In consequence Of the
financial disasters Of the past few months the immigra
ton of this year will undergo a marked change.
From the British Islands there will be little or no
emigration, comparatively speaking, because most of
the emgrants aborers or mechanics, with barely
sufficient means to pay their passage Their object in
emgrating ID to obtain employment, and when labor is
in good demand here, and wages high, being duly al
vised Of the fact by their friends they come hther by
thousands. But when, now, business is dull and
stagnated they promptly told not to leave home
till better times Hence, with the exception OF limit
ed immigration from the farming districts of Great
Britain, of those who have capital and intend to buy
land the passenger traffic from Liverpool and London
will be ruinousy dull Several of our finest packet
ships from Liverpool and London have recently ar
rived without single immigrant on board, while
Others instead Of bringing four and five hundred was
customary in the palmy days Of immigration, brought
only 90 or 30 persons EACH While British immigration
has greatly diminished and will almost cease, ships
from IIavre, Bremen, Hamburg Antwerp, and other
continental ports will pour in large increase of Dutch
and German farmers, who finding capital insecure
at home, will come here, and invest their boarded
thalers in broad acres and substantial homesteads.

GAME BY THE PoUND.-We have often advocated
the plan of selling all sorts of food by the pound
as the only fair and honest way for both buyer and
seller. If that was the custom, it would enable con-
sumers to compare prices and learn what they really
pay for delicate morses. For instance do any of the
persons who have lately bought quas at 80 so or 81
dozen, know how much the meat Of those birds,
when ready for the gridron oven, costs per pound?
We guess not. Neither do but, in the state they
brought to market, we suppose they do not aver
age half pound each, and consequently they do
age about sixty cents pound. About coup of hats
full sold yesterday for $50 by Drew & French, at
50 50 per dozen, weighed and found to be sixty
three cents pound. Allow one fifth waste in dressing,
and it will make them seventy.fve cents pound. Ii
the purchaser had been asked to pay that when he
bought them it is possible that he might have thought
il would be rather dear eating
