EGGs AND BurrER.-AIl of our citizens

EGGS AND BUTTER.-All of our citizens,
probably, have observed an unusual activ-
ity In the shipment of eggs, butter and
poultry from this city during the winter
and spring, and we have no doubt that
every one in whose schedule of daily duties
the providing of "grub" for large and
healthy family is included, has felt the
effects of the unusual activity in this de-
partment of trade, whether he has noticed
1t or not. These favorite and almost indis-
pensable articles of family use have become
scarce and dear, in consequence of the
heavy drain to the East. If this thing goes
on much longer, AID measures are not
taken to insure an increased production, to
meet the increased demand from our vora-
cious Eastern neighbors, in q short time
hens will become as scarce as hen teeth,
butter will be more precious than the pre-
cious ointment which ran down upon
Aaron's berad, and eggs will become an
unattainable luxury to the poor man. Just
now, at season OF the year when the hen
product is usually most abundant, eggs are
far from being plentiful, and are compar-
atively dear. Good poultry is almost out
of the question, and butter fiuctuates from
fifty to sixty-five cents per pound for a
mixed article-hair, feathers, salt and but
termilk. 3 ~. ~

Resotued, By the Y. NJ C. a. of Column
bus, Ohio, That while in the decease of our
Brother Lathrop we recognize the hand Of
an All-wise Providence, and would bow

will commence in Ambos Hall this after
noon. Those parents who witnessed the
proficiency and grace with which their
little ones moved through the "mystic
-mazes of the giddy Dance" at the exhibi-
ton on Saturday evening, will need no
other recommendation of his capabilities
as teacher of dancing than their eyes
gave them there. Most of the children
had never taken lesson in dancing until
they come under Prof. Motifs instruction
and all confess it was most delightful ex-
hibition, rendered SO by the proficiency of
the pupils. All these, Of course, will
send their children to dancing school again

aroused last night by the FURIOUS barking

contiguous to. the milk house. On going

grown specimen of the genus homo, who
was deliberately drinking the contents of

was SO much interested in beholding the
evident relish with which the fellow sport
ed in the milky way, that he suffered him
to depart, after smashing one OF the empty
crooks over his head. -r2 .zT

The FORCE OF HABIr.-No better Illus

than theskill at present displayed by the
pedestrians on our streets in the manage
ment of those unwieldy but beneficial OBJ
Ijects-umbrellas. When they are called
into use after season of exemption from
showers of the aqueous fluid, any one pos
sessing but a moderate share of observa-
tion cannot fail to notice the awkwardness
with which each one handles his um brella,
gouging this one, knocking another's hat
of, and creating confusion wherever they
may be found. At the present time, how
ever, an umbrella has become as much an
article of necessity as the hat upon ones
head or the shoes on ones feet. Without
it, we would be condemned to continual
dampness and its consequent discomfort
1t is this constant, close companionship
which makes its control such an easy mat
in these days of rain and mud. However
desirable such result may be when occa-
sion or circumstance requires its exercise,
we would prefer to dispense with the um-
brella altogether, could we do so without
incurring the risk of frequent saturation,

der of John Lang, German butcher, on
Broadway, on the 26th day of November
last, was concluded before the Franklin
County Court of Common Pleas, Judge
Olds presiding, last evening. The jury,
when we left the Court House, at 10 o'clock.
had not agreed on a verdict. The case was
conducted on the part of the State by
Prosecuting Attorney Mann, assist
ed by Col. Fl. Blair Wilson. These
gentlemen ably performed their
duty to the State, conducting the case with
marked ability. Harris was defend by
Hon. George L. Converse, and his tact in
the management of the defense was the
subject of very general remark. Judge
Olds' charge to the jury in the case is spo-
ken of as splendid effort, making the law
so clear that there could be no possibility
of the jury mistaking its terms. Because
of the unfortunate zeal of some of Harris
friends in following him to and from the
