The great decline in the price of Butter
is caused not so much by the fall in gold
as by the fact that the supply exceeds the
demand. The market is overstocked.-
When the prices ruled high, everybody
economized in the consumption Of butter,
and the depression which has now been
reached, was foreseen by many, and they
took warning in time. Others, however,
were not so wary. Many men who had
butter TO sell, refused to part with it
when 60 cts. pound was offered, because
they hearkened to the political croakers
that the war would last four years-that
the reelection of Lincoln made a restora,
tion of peace possible-that the rebels
could not be conquered-and that as a
matter Of course, so long as the war ragged
prices would continue to 60 up. Indeed
we heard of Copperherd leaders who pre-
dicted soon after the election of Mr.. Lin
coin that gold would reach 800 before
the spring of 1865 came in. OF course,
those who believed in these partisan pre-
dictions conceived in a spirit of disloyal-
ty and promulgated for the purpose of
damaging the Union cause held on to
their produce, and now they are reaping
the bitter fruits Of their credulity. The
sympathizers with rebellion in the North,
who are ut the head Of the democratic
party, have done nothing from the be-
ginning but injuro their own friends
They have failed to afford the rebels sub
stantial assistance in dissolving the Tn
ion, and have succeeded only in destroy
ing their own party, and injuring the bus
incss of every one Of their adherents who
listened 20 their pernicious counsels. 1t
is high time for these leaders to retire
from business. They are essentially
"played out"

Mrs. ANNA Nj. NORRIS, aged 10 years.
Mrs. Norris being one OF the earlier res

ever attractive both to citizens and stran-

Of all denominations. Consscratedt to Christ
and His cause, she united with seven 9TH
ers in the organization of the Congrega-

year of its settlement, and her devotion as
a Christian was marked by a degree Of
constancy and cheerfulness in all the varied
circumstances of life rarely exceeded.-
Many who have lahored in the work Of
the ministry on the frontier i'm Iowa, Ili-

get the cordial welcome and the abundant
hospitality they ever received ather hands.
Especially, too, is this true of the advocates
Of liberty. The missiles of mob crashing
