THE Fur TRADE-The trade in furS general.
iy commences about the first of October, and
at pIese.t the business is quite brisk among the
Numerous dealers throughout the city. Mink
sable and Siberian squirrel furs are those most
in demand, and are considered most fashion
able Although the demand for this class of
furs is very great, yet owing to the great sup,
ply and the facility with which they are obtain
ed, the prices are moderate The best quality
of mink sable is found IN Maine; it is also pro
cured in the Hudson Bay regions, the North
west, aud found in small quantities in this
State
The most expensive of all fnrs is the Russian
sable, which sell from $500 to s., 500 per set.
This quality OF far is very scarce and, besides,
their expectation from Russia has been pro
hlhited 10y the Emperor. Those that reach
this country are Smuggied away The Hudson
Bay sable is also qaite scarce and expensive,
being sold as high as 500 to $500 per set
The opoSSum AID lnu>krat furs abound in
great quantities and are easily obtained
Fitch is but little in demand, although a few
years since 1t was much Sought after Buffalo
skins are obtained in Minnesota, Dakota Ne
bri ska, Kansas, and northern Texas. Each
year this animal becomes Scarcer, and before
many years they will doubtless be extinct
The animals ae shot 10y the Indians aud 9th
ers, who sell the skins 10 traders. The hides
are worth from three 10 twelve dollars piece
The finest skins are greatly in demand by mil
itary officers who use them instead of blankets
for which they are found far superior.
Most of the beaver skins bought by the deal
prs in Philadelphia are shipped by them to
England, where they are used extensively for
cloak Innings This animal is found among the
rocky mountains and in the British Domin-
ions, and does not, as many suppose, decrease
each year. although, it is said they push far
ther West. The quantity of beaver skins OBJ
tanned this year is equally as great as has been
procured for several years back. Very few
are now found about Lake Superior, where a
few years since they were found in great num-
berS.
The retailers of the largest cities resort to
numerous tricks by which they can dye furs of
common quality. and give them the appear
ance OF those more rare. The price of all furs
varies according to their shades of color and
their scarcity.

QUERY-If four dogs with sixteen legs can
catch forty niue rabbits with eighty seven legs,
in forty,four minutes, how many legs must the
same rabbits have to get away from eight dogs
with thirty,two legs, in seventeen minutes aid
half ?
SoIuton-Add together the legs of the rab-
bits aud the tails of the dogs and divide the
amount by three big dogs this saves four
bushels of barks and thirteen pounds of hair.
Take the fractions of the rabbits, and six inches
of snow, aud multiply by dog fight. Then
divide by man with doubled barreIed shot
gun, and piece of fresh beef Multiply by
half as many legs as three times less number
of rabbits would have had, aud divide by one
third of the time it would take for the rabbits
TO get away from the dogs less seventeen aud
/ a halt minutes. The result depends upon the
size of the dogs.

H., an her lace so tair and meek,
. host of holier beauties CLEAN.
For softly shines her silver hair,
patent sml" is on her lace,
And the mild lustrous light OF prayer
Around her sheds a moon-llke grace.
She prays for one that's far away
The soldier in his holy fight
And bers that Heaven in mercy may
Protect her boy and bless the Right

And we no longer are apart.
So guarding thus my lonely beat,
By ,hadowy wood and haunted lea,
That vision seems my eye to meet
OF her at home who prays for me.
