II We gather from the New York pa
pers that unpleasant feelings are created
in thoughtful minds by the excess of cur
rency atloat and bank expansion. Bust
ness is dull, while money abounds, and
speculation isrife. The Independent says:
The limit of nationalcurrency, viz: $500,
100000, has been reached; but this enor-
nous amount of currency in addition to
the greenback currency, is used as a basis
for banking loans to serious if not to an
alarming extent. The city bank lone are
S270, 100000; but every national bank in
all the States has made excessive loans in
to its capital and currency
issues. This stimulus to speculation has
been most felt in the prices of stocks; but
it is also proportionately, though not So
general ly known, in business and mercan-
tile credits. Credit has been extended in
all directions, and the general expansion
has gone quite far enough for safety. A
contraction must come, sooner or later.

Resolued, That in the death of Bro.
Their John Clifton, Junior Deacon of
this Lodge, we deplore the loss Of a
useful and Honorable member.
Resolred, That we deeply sympathize
with his family in their bereavement
and with his many friends, wherever
he was known; and that as further
expression of our feelings that the
members Of the Lodge wear the usual

Resolued, That these resolutions be

the Cincinnati Enquirer:
The concluding volume Of the census of
1860, devoted to social statistics, has been
issued. 1t affords the means of many in
teresting comparisons, and, among others,
of a comparison between the numbers of
dangerous and perishing classes, and their
relative proportion to the whole people, in
two distinct and widely apart sections of
this Union, as follows:

THE FIRST OYSTER EATER.-Once upon
a time---it must have been prodigiously
long time ago, however, man of melan.
choly mind, who was walking by tile
shores ola picturesque estuary, listening
to the monotonous m,rmur of the sad sea
waves, espied q very old and ugly oyster,
all covered over with parasites and sea-
weeds. 1t was SO unprepossessin that he
kicked it with his foot, and the animal,
astonished at receiving such rude treat
ment on its own domain, CAPPED wide with
indignation. Seeing the shelly covering,
and fancying the interior Of the shell to be
beautiful, he lifted MP the aged native
for further examination, inserting his finger
and thumb within the shells. The irate
mulluse, thinking, no doubt, that this was
meant as a further insult, snapped its
pearly door close upon the finger of the
intruder, causing him some little pain.
After releasing his wounded digit, the in.
quisitive gentleman very naturally put it
into his mouth. "Delightful!" exclaimed
he, opening widehis eyes. WHAT'S this9"
and again he sucked his thumb. Then the
great truth flashed upon him thath had
found out new delight-had, in fact, &C.
cidentally achieved the most important
discovery ever made up to that date. He
at once to the verifcation of his
thought. Taking up stone, he forced
open the doors of the oyster, and gingerly
tried piece of the molIuse itself. Delici-
ous was the result; and so, there and then,
with no other condiment than the juice of
The animal-with no Dreaming brown stout
,r pale Chablis to wash down the repast-
40 nicely-cut, well-buttered bread-did
that solitary anonymous man inauguratei

and took an early insurance on his life by
joining the party that assassinated Abra-

illustriOus ruler was murdered, the La
Crosse Democrat, a paper highly popular
with the COpperheads of the Northwest,
boldly published the following incitement
to his murder:
