The diminution is even greater, substantially,
than is represented By, the abore figures. Il
must be remembered that there are now con-
stantlv employed in the Lake Superior trade
about one hundred more yessels than In 1s51, =,
and the traffic is one which is likely to show =
steady increase. Within the Same period, some
forty Of our best vessels have embarked per-
manenlly in the European and Atlantic coast
ing trade. The tonnage diverted by these two
branches Of trade is not less than 42 000, anu
dedrcting this amount from the sum total, the
actual falling Of in grain carrying Tessels will
reach thirty eight per cent!
OF the missing vessels, number hare been
wrecked, while the whole number Of new ones
nut atioat within three years do not actually
amount to half score. But the great share
Of the falling of is traceable to quite another
cause, and one which suggests grave question
for the solution Of ship-owners, Al deeply A.

WHEgE ARE THE DISUNIONlsTS I

Democracy have commenced clamoring for Tic
Unizn. Bsfore the election Of Speaker Pen
nington, aud indeed up to the time Of t!:e
Charleston Convention, both were th1eatoni: 6
the country With irreprcssible dissolution 'u
case the Republicans succeeded in getting t!s4
organization Of the House or in electipg
President, Now each party is yocaerating is
devotion to the Union and charging upon tie
other the purpose to dissolve it. With Ill
their other disagrcemcnts they are entirely
harmonious on this poiht. Occasionally ,:e
hear from Breckenridge organ in South Car
olna, or Douglas organ in Georgia, that with
this OF that result in November the Union
will 60 to pieces like tirc.cracker, but suca
threats are clearly unauthorized BY their IT,
spcctive leaders. The only avowed disuri'H-
ist in tho field is Herschcl Y. Johnson. Doug
las goes strong for the Union; Breckenridge
goes stronger for the Union; Bell goes strong
er still for the Onion; and Lincoln intends 10
make the other three stick to their pledges.
When Douglas charges the Breckenridge par
with the design Of subverting the Union, the
Republicans tell him his ftars are groundles-;
they will take care Of that When the "Da--
ite" Convection in Illinois hold up Douglas ~
the great disorganizer and the rock On which
the Constitution is atout TO be shivered, tie
Republicans advise them not to be uneasy;
they will guarantees the integrity Of the Cn-
stitution for four years to come, at any rate.
Meanwhile, Henry l. Wise, who Was going
to march upon Washington, plunder the
Treasury, blow up the Capitol and carry otl

We have known all the time that they didn't

AL persons knew that the tragedy could not
be p.otracted beyond the fifth act and that the
fa.ce would follow as soon as the scenes could
be shifted and tho actors had time 10 wash
their paint of. Tho splitting up Of the De-
mocracy at Baltimore had the effect to bring
on the alterpiece before the heavy business
was properly concluded That was all Both
factions had their mouths made up to bawl
Disunion, in case their candidate should re-
eeive tho regular nomination. Both vs=so
equally prepared to "honer damn at tie
Republicans, and 10 charge them with sections
alism. Both were stuffed full Of the argument
that the election Of Lincoln would be q trea-
sonable lacl, because it would compel them to
dissolve the Union! HaFing each cncouu-
te1ed an enemy, more than its match, at Balti-
moze, each has begun to fondle the Union for
itsalf and charge Ditunion Upon its adversary
tho public, meanwhile, believing in the siu-
cerity Of neither, though perfectly satisfied
that tho Union will outlast both by at least a
thousand years.

tire that Alabama will cast her vote for Breck-
inridge, and says:
| "As to the prospects respectively Of The

INTERESTING RELICs-Tee celebration of
the pioneers of Northern Ohio occurred on
Wednesday, at Newburg. The Cleveland
PlaindeaLer, in noticing the gathering, re-
marks:
There will be many interesting relics on
exhibition at the celebration, prominent
among which is an English oak chest that
came over in the N0yfoaoer with the Pill
grims. This ancient chest is the property
of Mrs. Kellogg, on the West side, and it has
been in her family for many years. 1t is
still in a remarkably good state of preserva-
ton, the elaborate carving on the front side
shining as brightly, perhaps, as when it
landed on Plymouth Rock.
Another very interesting relic is an anvil.
With which Isaac Beardsley, the son of
Abraham Beardsley, commenced the black
smith business, in the town of Huntington,
Fairfield county, Connecticut, about the
year 1860. The anvil was given to him by
his son Eli, who removed TO Catharines, Tio-
ga NOW Schuyler county, New York,
nearly so years ago, where he kept it in SER
vice for nearly 40 years. He gave it to his
son Ammon, who removed to Stow, Summit
county, Ohio, in the year 1897. He du-
ring the present year, gave it to his son Is
aac l.. Beardsley of Cleveland in whose
possession it now is. The bottom of the an
vii is Crowd for forging bayonets, and the
great grandfather of the present owner did
good service with 1t during the Revolution

AN OCToRooN FROM MIssIssIPPI-A Mis-
sissippi planter has purchased the elegant
brick house at las Prospect street, for his

proprietor, 1900 for the house. 1t is for

by her governess and one or two free SER
wants. A daughter of the Rev. J. c. White
has been employed as a general instructor of
the young lady. Though born a slave, the
octoroon is now free, and the planter will
spare no pains or expense to give hera thor

Bay~W We are under individual and personal
obligations to Mr.. Ingle for his kindness in
enabling us to return on the E. Il g. road
on last Friday. Being informed that Messrs.
Morton and Turpie were to speak in Sulli-
van in the afternoon of that day, and that
both gentlemen were DESTROYS of reaching
this city on Friday evening, he generously
ordered that train should remain at the
town of Sullivan until the speaking was
over, and then bring the gentlemen and
their friends that evening to this city. 1t
was a great accommodation to those who
came on the train, and an act of kindness
on the part of Mr.. Ingle that will not soon
be forgotten by those who were benefited
by it.
The obliging ard gentlemanly conductor,
Mr.. Williamson, also has our thanks and
the thanks of others. Such accommodating
officers must certainly make their road the
favorite of the people.-T Haute Erp.

RESIGNATION OF A CATHOLIC BIsHoP.-
The Catholic Bishop of Pittsburgh, Ri. Rev.
Michael O'Conner. has resigned his see, and
his resignation has been accepted by the
Pope. The cause of his retirement is said
to be a disease which incapa citated him to
perform the duties of the Episcopacy.-
Change of climate, and to some extent OF
employment of his time, are recommended
by his physicians, in accordance with whose
advice he has resigned his office. Bishop
O'Connor is regarded as among the most
erudite scholars of the American Catholic
Hierarchy.
