Voices of Animals.

There is chapter in the ratnral history OF an-
imals that has hardly been tsuched uron as yet,
and that will be especially interesting with refer
ence to families. The voices of animals have a
family Characteristic not to be mistaken. All the
canide bark aud howl The fox, the wolf, the dog
have the same kind of utterance, though on a
somewhat different pich. A the bears growl,
from the white bear Of the Arctic SHOWS to the
small blac> bear Of the Andes. All the cats mau,
from eur quiet fre>ide companions to the lions
and tigers and panthers Of the forest and Jungle.
This last may seem strange assertion ; but to
any who has listened critically to their sounds
and anayze their voices, the of the lion is
but 6 gigantic miau, bearing about the same pro-
portion 10 that OF CT as its stately, majestic
form does to the smaller, softer, more p aceful
aspect of the cat. Yet notwithstanding the differ
ence in their size, who can look at the lion wheth
er in his more sleepy mood, as he lies eured up
nthe corner of his cage or in his fercer moments
OF hunger or of rage, without being reminded Of
cat. And this is not merely the resemblance of
one carnivorous animal to another Tor no one
was ever reminded of dog or wolI by a lion.
Again, all the horses and donkeyS neigh for the
bray of the donkey is only harsher neigh, pitched
on different key, it is true, but a sour of the
same character, as the donkey himself is but
clumsey and dwalfsh horse. All the cows low I,
from the bufflo aiming the prairie, he mu>k-ox
of the Arctic ice fields, the jack of Asia, to the
cattle teedirg in our pastures. Among the birds
this similarity of voice in families is still more
: marked. We need only recall the harsh and
noisy parrots, so similar Ia their peculiar uterahce.
Or take, as an example, the web-looted family.
| De not all the gee,e and the innumerable hosts
OF ducks quack ? Does not every member OF the
crow family cav whether it be the jack daw, the
Jay, the magic, the rook, in some green rookery
OF the old world, or the crow OF our woods, with
its long melancholy cav, that seems to make the
silence and .oude deeperP Compare all the
=. sweet warbers OF the sung,te family y--the nigtt-
. ngaIes, the thru<hes, the mockng- the rob-
+ ins--they differ in greater or less perfection oi
y their note, but the same kind of voice runs
through tie whole gloup.-.4gassiz.

The Old Draft.

ohiO's quota, required by the old draft
is not yet furnished. Governor Tod in
forms US that not over i've thousand are
now wanting to meet the requisihon. That
number must be forthcoming by the 26,h
inst, or drafting will commence. But a
brief period remains, but there is time
enough, if the proper spirit and vigOr are
manifested to secure that small number.
Let each county, knowing the quota yet
required of 1t, put forth the proper effort,
and the work will be done. Let the Mill
tary Committees Of the counties move with
prOmptitude and efficiency, and secure the
number wanted, and thus do honor to loyal
Ohio, by furnishing, by volunteering, the
number Of soldiers required Of her.

The Canton Repository says that over
$4,000 sheep have been shipped from the

Most Os the sheep came from Harrison and

VAST Mineral Resources Of n,,sourl

Vast Mineral Resources Of liissOuri.
A writer in the St. Louis Democrat
makes some statements regarding mining
ID that State, which are almost incredible.
Having remarked that there are in the
State inexbaustible quantities Of coal and
iron, as well as much copper, tin, nickel,
cobalt, zinc, magnesis, SC, beside val
liable marbles, he spelks particularly
of the lead mines and the facilities which
they offer to the poorest laborer. Through
Franklin and Washington counties the
ground is full Of lead which is not half
developed. The miners sink shafts only
few feet, the deposits are so numerous.
TIE average depth of the pits is not more
than twenty to thirty feet while many are
not more than twelve. One gentleman Of
Potosi has taken S11,OO worth from two
pits, ninety feet deep. The men upon his
mines earn from s. to $40 per day. There
is ample and regular employment for all
who go, and the steady miner can easily
earn excellent wages, enabling them after
few years to purchase tracts Of land for
3 homestead.
Let the question Of slavery be finally
and utterly settled in Missouri and the
''live Yankee" will go into that country
with all the appliances Of modern science
aud mske untold futures, as well as settle
