There was very little done in exchange to-day.
The banks, tomorrow in their general balances will
show decrease. The counter rate for checks was
in ordinary amounts, but round sums were supplied
at 4 discount. Sixty days sight was purchased by
the banks at II II discount for COED bills New
York and Boston, The range Of the market closed at
II q and q discount, at which figures there were
sales The foreign exchange market was quiet.
Some small sums for remittance were taken at 1854.
With dealers there was very little offering, and we
only quote that transactions for clear bills would
have been entered into at 1911 q 1854 if offered As
for francs, there transactions to our know
ledge, but 52s3 q 5223 will cover all that drawers
desire to SELL In Sterling bills of ading we did not
learn Of any transactions of note.
There were some sales of stocks to-day, say 100
shares of Canal Bank at 1879, and further sale of
State Bank at 49, This stock has got up to toera-

It is not necessary to alude to the kind Of weather
which followed the commencement Of business to-day.
1t was wet enough, almost as bad as Northern
snow-storn. There was no interruption in the meet
ing of financial obligations, do we suppose any
one expected there would have been. The calls on
the banks were moderate banks have very large
balances, some Of them being over 81 400 900 above
line, equivalent to expansion capital thereof of
fully five millions of dollars. Cotton was rather
quiet and will be until have further advices from
Europe now due by the Europa. The last advices by
the City Of Washington have not cansed the falling
off in the sales Of cotton The commercial and fnan
cial reports favorable as could have been ex-
pected. We have no apprehensions whatever about
the nature of the political accounts from Europe. If
all the potentates Of the European continent desire
to get into snarl the trade of New Orleans will not
be affected. Crackers and agitators may pirate about
this, that and the other, but community that owes
only $25 900 000 and has control at once of eighty
to ninety millions Of resources need not be alarmed
at the movements Of pennless tyrants on the other
side Of the Atlantic. The inaction and dullness in
the cotton market yesterday and to day has not been
brought about by war anticpations.
We note some small transactions to-day in paper at

Ayers Ague Cure;

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is OF more service to those sub
iect to this Infection If taken in It expels
1t from the system as it is absorbed, and thus Keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects tromt
the great variety Of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tions Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections Of the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AeuB CURE
removes the Of these dcrangementSs and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excTe;
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their own accord Hence arises VII at
we term accli,notation. Time may accomplish the
same end but often life is not long enough, or is,
sacrificed in the attempt, while this "AGUE CURE
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

PORTAGE SENTINEL,
From The Southern Literary Messenger.
The Quiet SIumber.

Lay him gently TO his rest
Fold his pale hands on his breast;
From his brow
oh how cold and marble fair
Softly part the tangled hair;
Look upon him nowl
As weary child he lies,
With the quiet dreamless eyes,
o'er which the lashes darkly sweep,
And on his lip the quiet smile
The SOULS adleu to earthly strife,
And on his face the deep repose
We never saw in life.
Peaceful be his rest, and deep;
Let him sleep.
No tears for him-he needs them not;
Along hfe's drear and toilsome road
Firmly his manly footsteps trode,
Striving to bear its weary lot,
With such a pride upon his brow,
With such a pain within his heart
The 2rmness of the manly will
Yelling the secret smart.
Oh II is we'll the strife Is o'er,
That thus so peacefully he lies,
Unhesding now the bitter words,
The cold IMPLYING eyes,
Fold his mantle o'er his breast
Peaceful be his sleep and blest;
Let him rest.
No sigh to breathe above his bier,
No tear to stain the marble brow.
Only with tender plying love,
Only with faith that looks above,
We gaze upon him now.
No thought of toll and suffering past
But Joy to think the task is done.
The heavy cress at last laid down,
The crown Of glory won.
Oh! bear him gently to his rest
Oh! gently heap the fowery sod,
And leave his body to the dust,
His spirit to his God.

DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC MAN.-Jesse
Bennett, ESD, an old resident of the city of
Oswego, N. T., died there very suddenly on
Saturday night, Of the heart disease. He had
been resident of Oswego for about forty years.
AT the time of his death he was worth about
100000, which reverts to his only two chill
dren, one son and the other widow lady
who is the relict of the late Jacob Richardson,
the defaulting collector of customs at Oswego.
About ten years ago, Mr.. Bennett caused a
stone coffin to be made for himself which he
kept in his house, and which was consumed in
the great confagration there few years ago.
His original intention was to be enclosed in this
marble coffin after his death, and be sunk in the
depths of Lake Ontario, but his intention was
afterwards abandoned by him. When the coffin
was destroyed by fire, he remarked, If it could
not stand such heat as that, it would not an
swer his purpose! He then procured another
one, in which he was finally buried 1t used
to be the old mans delight to visit the room In
