ary, COW, belonging to one of our citizens,

had second calf last week-about four
weeks having interviewed between the births
of the two calves. Such singular freak of

The civil war in Japan seems
likely to end in the triumph of the
allied Daimois over the Tycoon.
The latter, it is reported, has been
defeated in a severe engagement.
and fed to Yeddo. The Govern
ment of the young Mikado has no
titled the representatives of the
foreign powers that Japan will
faithfully adhere to the treaties.
On the other hand, however, a re-
pert reaches us that all the foreign
ers have left Hioga and Osaca, and
that one foreign vessel has been fir
ed upon by the japanese. How
ever this may be, it is incredible
that the Mikado Government
should ever seriously think OF vio-
lating the treaties. The japanese
have, during the last ten years,
seen and heard too much about the
power and the civilization of for
eign nations ever to make serious
attempt to return to their former
inselation.

Some interesting developments
of frauds have recently been made
in the Philadelphia Custom House.
1t has transpired that certain assis-
tant weighers have been carrying
On for some time past lucrative
business in their line of duties.
Several merchants of Philadelphia
have been bribing these weighers
to make light weight in the com
modities passing through their
hands for the assessment of import
duty, thus defrauding the Govern
ment of its just amount of duties.
A close scrutiny into these specula-
tons is now going foreward, and
the result will doubtless be a clean
sweep among this class of officials
in the Philadelphia Custom House.

RAFTIsG.-The cold snap, the latter part
of last week, caused general suspension OF
the rafting business; but, the atmosphere
having once more moderated 1T is presumed
that operations will goforward with renew
ed svigor. However, as the waters have
fallen below rafting stage, and the greater
portion of the snow had melted previous to
the late cold spell, it viii now require copi-
GUS rains to again raise the streams high E.
nough for running lumber. So far, bat few
RATS have started for the lo.er markets
