THE CONVERSION OF SENATOR WILSON.

The religious conversion of Senator Wilson,
which some have affirmed and others have
denied, is announced by the Senator himself in
the following remarks made by him at a revival
meeting at Natick, Mass, last week. The
recent converts being invited to speak, Senator
Wilson was one of the first to rlse and he spoke
in substance as folloWs:-
HE felt he owed it to himself, TO his friends
about him, and TO the cause of his Redeemer, TO
say few words, though he did it with some re-
luctance. For more than thirty years he had
attended the services of God on that spot, and
had listened to hundreds of sermons. He had
been convinced of the truths thus set forth, and
had no excuse to offer for so long delaying to
give his personal attention to the subject. He
had never shielded himself by inhdelity, OF de-
Tended his position by that poorest of all
excuses-the faults OF protesting Christians.
Whenever addres Led personally on the subject
as he had often been by friends flom various
parts of the country, he had always felt him
self guilty before God, ard yet he had
lived more than fifty years rejecting God.

dying soldiers and longed to speak some word

Edwin Forrest writes from California to
friend in Boston, that his health is greatly i'm
proved by mountain exercise and spring bath
ing. He adCs:-'My present intention is not to
return to the East until next spring, for it would
be too great a risk to encounter the rigors of a
winter there. which might prove disastrous to
the restoration of perfect health. l shall visit

go to LOS Angeles, where shall enjoy climate

AN ALE.EeoRIoAL SKETCH.
History of Ale.


The following extracts are copied from the
auarto edition of beautifully printed and illus
trated little volume entitled "Ale: in Prose and
Verse, by Barry Gray and John Savage" Mr.
Gray has strung together, in ballad of thirty
two stanzss, sundry pretty conceits concerning
ale, the people who make it, and the people who
drink j. and added thereto many pleasing Incl
dents o. a tonic, Teutonic, and platonic charac-
ter. Mr.. savage's pagt of the work, history of
ale from early times to the present day, shows
great research, and contains much matter OF a
valuable as well as an interesting character.
The book is dedicated to the memory of the late
John Taylor, of Albany, formerly Mayor of that
city, and known as one of the largest and most
successful brewers Of ale In this country. The
book is not for sale, but is intended solely for
presentation, an edition of ten thousand FIVE
hundred copies, octave and quarto size, having
haen nTinted.

Trade in this market continues extremely
quiet, and indeed this is the universal rule
in all the markets of the country. The de-
mand for Flour is limited entirely to trade
lots. but prices remain firm for high grades.
The transactions in Wheat are confined to
car lots of choice qualities, for which the
market is firm. Corn is in very moderate
inquiry at steady prices. Oats have been in
rather improving inquiry for the past two
days, and are firm.
Provisions meet with a fair demand from
the trade, and the inquiry is improving, but
lacks much of being active. Prices are un-
changed and steady.
Choice Butter continues in very light sup
ply, and there is very little coming forward.
The demand is good at advancing prices.
The Grocery trade is quiet, though deal
ers report an improving tendency to bust
ness. Prices during the past week have
ruled steady and without change.

KILLED ON H RAILROAD gentleman
informs us that a man, whose name We
could not learn, was so severely hurt by an
engine on the Cleveland and Mahoning
Railroad, at Mantua station, that he could
not possibly recover. He was a man about
fifty years old, but quite deaf, and it is sup
posed that, in walking or standing on the
track there he did not near the approach of
the locomotive. The COW catcher struck
and knocked him down, and threw him
upon the beam of the engine. The back
part OF his head was crushed in. He
boarded at the hotel near the station. Was
apparently fifty years of age, well dressed,
etc. He was still alive when our inform
ant left, but unconscious, and could not pos
sibly long survive.

TIE TOLEDO RAILROAD BRIDGE.-The To-
cation and construction of the bridge across
the Cuyahoga River, for the passage of the
trains of the Cleveland & Toledo Railroad
Company, is again agitating the owners of
real estate and business men on the River.
The question was brought before the Board
of Trade yesterday afternoon, Vice Presi-
dent R. T. Lyon in the Chair.
George W. Gardner, Esq, offered the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Board of Public Works of
Ohio have given authority to the C. & 7. R.
R. Co. to construct a Railroad Bridge across
the Cuyahoga River at a point just North
of the C. C. & c.. R. R. Freight Depot, and
has approved of the plans specified in the
application of said Company to said Board,
which provides for an abutment on the
East bank Of the river, not to be projected
into the stream more than thirty feet
and
WHEREAS, A question has arisen whether
an abutment of that extent would be con-
sistent with the interests of navigation, and
the Railroad Company has signifed q wish
to consult this Board as to said improve
ment, and to obtain an expression of its
opinion upon the form and extent of such
abutment as may, after an examination, be
considered most consistent with the inter
ests of navigation,
Resolred, That a Committee consisting of
the Mayor of the city, and three members
of the Council TO be appointed by the May
or, the President, or in his absence the Vice
President of this Board, three members of
the Board, three commanders of vessels,
and three civil engineers TO be selected by
the President pro tenn to be appointed 10

ing, and to report to the Board at as early a
day as they can conveniently, their opin-
ions on the plan ofthe bridge, and the form
and extent of such abutment, if any, as in
their opinion would be consistent with the
safe navigation of the harbor.
RESOLVED, That on the coming in of the re-
port, public notice be given to the members
OF the Board appointing an early day for ae-
ton upon the same.
In conformity with the spirit of the reso-

will be submitted to the Board, due notice
of which will be given, that all parties in
terested may be present.

The Bitter Fruits of Bad Bitters.-
Invalid reader, do you know what nine-tenths of
the bitter compounds you are solicited by the pro-
prietors to accept as universal pansceas are COM
posed of? Give heed for a moment. They are
manufactured from unpurihed alcohol, containing
q considerable portion ofJasei oil, a poison almost
as deadly as prussic acid. The basis of the regu-
lsr t~inctures of the Materia Medica is the same.
No amount Of "heTbal extracts can overcome
the bad tendency of this pernicious element. The
essence Of sound Rye thoroughly rectihed is the
only stimulAnt which an be safely used as a COM
ponelt of e Tonic, Alternative, and anti billions
medicine, and HOSTETTER's STOMACH BIT
TIERS is the only medicinal preparation in the
world in which this article is used as an ingredient.
Hence the extraordinary effects of this great suec-
ihc. 1t gives strength without producing excite
ment- No other tonic does this. All the ordina-
ry Bitters flash the face and effect the brain. Hos
letters Bitters diffuse an agreeable calm through
the nervous system, promote digestion, and pro-
duce sleep. No other tonic SO quickly revi7es the
exhausted physical energies, restores the app, tite,
and removes the gloom and depression which al
ways accompanies weakness of the bodily powers.

FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, March 81, 1866.
The local money market is ruling quiet,
and bankers report no important change
in the condition. It is probable there has
been a moderate gain in the supply of cur
rency during the past few days, but not
sufficient to materially relieve the market
of the closeness that has characterized it
for some time past. Bankers show little or
no favor to other than prime paper, and
this class is not in heavy offering. Eastern
Exchange remains quiet, close and steady
at established rates.
Financial matters in New York are a
little feverish, pending the action of Con-
gress upon the finances. This is more par
t~icularly true of the stock market. The de-
feat of the Loan bill on Friday last gave
confidence to stock operators, and prompt
movements for a speculative advance were
commenced but subsequent Congressional
action checked this design, and the market
has since maintained an unsettled temper,
with a downward tendency. In Gold the
tone of the market to-day was frmer, and
tAS HiANC duNdACCu ASdII1 Ouo per cent,
closing at 12s4@1. This recovery is doubt
less chiefly attributable to the demand from
short sellers, and may not be maintained
after this demand shall law been salts
fed. So far as the commercial situation is |
concerned, there is nothing in it upon which
to base an advance On gold. The favorable
condition of foreign balances is shown by
the rates of exchange, and the stocks of cot
ton at the seaboard and in the South, to be
sent forward, will go far toward the settle
ment of our recent importations, heavy as
they have been. Government securities are
quiet, but steady and firm, except Ten
which declined a fraction to-day.
In this market there is a fair movement
in Seven-thirties, but gold bonds meet with
very little inquiry. Prices of coin and gov
to-day are reported as follows by
