THE WEATHER ,$c-During the last three or
four days, we have had some rain, and the air
has become quite cool. If the cool weather
continues long, the corn which was planted
early, will rot in the ground. Persons had
better see to this, and be prepared to repiant'
in case it should become necessary. The oats
and other crops look we'll. The prospect Ior
an abundant harvest is good.

which thepower is communicated TO the needles
This is great desideratum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.

straight and the motion direct tho needle bar
is attached to small wheel driven by larger
one, instead of to the long arm of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short ono
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the, needle both circular and weak,
while tile former gives strength and directness.

motion cnablcsus to sew nll fabrics, from ga,rzo
to four thickncsscs Of leather, with almost equal
ease and the Machine can be made 10 run.

II DEATH OF MISS EUNIcE GARDINER.--
The death Of this young, lady can not fail
to produce a feeling of surprise and re-
greet in the minds of her friends and nu-
merous acquaintance. Her decease took
place at the residence of RICHARD Rob
ERrs, Esq, Allendale, on or about the
26th ult. Her disease, we understand,
was Of a pulmonary character.
Miss G. possessed fine abilities, and has
been a contributor TO the columns of tho

educational and other topics of much rner-
it, She was also avery active member
of the Gregory Educational Association.
She will be sadly missed at the meet

0 TRADE.-Our merchants and business
men generally can not at present boast OF
hurrying business. The sudden decline
of prices offered for lumber in market,
just before The close Of navigation, is not
without its effect on present numbering
operations. Hitherto lumbermen have
been able TO enter into contracts for logs,
TO be delivered on opening of navigation,
and obtain advances of money and sup
plies thereon, but great Indifference seems
TO prevail at present with mill owners
and others to purchase logs in advance, rs
so much doubt exists as to the prices that
will rule in the lumber trade on the open
ing of navigation. But lumbermon, we
arc constrained to believe, are the most
hopeful beings on earth. Labor and
Hope seems TO be their motto, and hence
they are pushing their business as vigor-
ously as circumstances will permit, and
the long-continued run of fine sleighing
is being well improved. .
