THE ONO river IMPROVEMENTS
Major William e. Merrill, us. Engineer
in charge Of tic Ohio River Improve
ments, has advertised 'fot proposals for
the execution Of, certain work necessary
for facilitating tlienHvigation Of the 0hi6
below Pittsburgh. The work consists in
building o dam containing $500 cubic
yards Of stone in the left channel Of the
river at Brunots island, three miles be-
low Pittsburgh; in dredging out 5000
cubic yards Of gravel at EMetriman's rip
pic, ten miles below Pittsburgh, and 5000
yards Of cubic gravel ut DcadmAn's is
land, fourteen miles below Pittsburgh,
and in building n dam containing 1900
cubic yards Of stone Mt Twin islands,
eighty-tive miles below Pittsburgh. The
last Congress appropriated, in addition to
the $25O,OOO for the Louisville canal, only
$4,000 for the whole Ohio river, With
this small sum very little can be accom-
plishCd, and almost the entire amount
will be spent in building the dam at Bru.
not's island. The dredging at the other
points mentioned was requested in petit
ton signed by all tho prominent coal boat
and packet boat owners Of Pittsburgh.
The three places mentioned, It is stated.
are tho most serious obstacles TO the COM
ncrce OF Pittsburgh during the low water
OF the Ohio. The sums OF money avail
able from the appropriation Of last year,
it is reported, are all pledged tor the COM
pletion of dams on the bars ut AIedoc,
Rising Sun ind Warsaw, situated between
Cincinnati and Louisville. These dams,
It Is believed, will be finished by Novenl-
Der 1st. There are also unfinished dams
OF Beaver Shoals and at Marietta Island,
tho former Of which is nearly completed.
The removal Of snagS and wrecks In the
Ohio, it is asserted, have been entirely in
tcrrupted, as the sum Of 81, 900 ay0ila-
bic for this purpose must revert to the
United States Treasury, under the law
which ordered that all balances Of apprO.
priatlons uneXpendCd on June 80 should
bc returned. The, letter OF the law Is
very comprehensive, and covers cases
which it Is hardly probable were within
tho intention OF Congress, Under these
circumstances, the Ohio boatmen arc
cautioned to keep clear Of tlie;ptCrs Of the
bridges, so that the number or tho wrecks
shall not DO increased ra rrl

THE GERMAN "Uhlans" to whom allu-
sion Is frequently made in our European
dispatches, and who are reported to be
momentarially expected in Paris, are a
light cavalry, armed with lanccs, pistols
and sabres. They arc OF Tartaric origin,
and were first introduced in the European
armies In Poland. They are the outridcrs
or raiders of the Prussian army. They
scour the country in advance and on the
tanks Of the main army, cut telcgraphs
and railroads, and burn, plumber and de-
stroy as our own raiders did in the South.

POETRY.
on the Death of My Mother.
BY REV. DAVID WILLARD.

Thou art gone my dear mother, lfe's conflict
al ended,
Thy cares and thy sorrows are now at close
ThS ransomed freed soul to its home has as
cended,
And thy lovely fair form lies in deaths calm
repose.
Thou art gone, and tits well, for thou mayest
not linger,
Where cares and universities darken life's way,
Where, even our joys touched by sorrows
cold finger,
Urge tears of regret to embitter our stay.
Thine eyes were turned upward discerning
the dwelling.
Where sorrow and sin can no longer be known;
Where seraphim lips their glad anthems are
swelling,
And halo of brightness encircles the zone.
Bat miss thee, dear mother, in sorrow, de-
lection,
[ miss thy fond smiles. and thy accents so
dear,
The counsels thou gavest with such warmth
of affection,
Have guided my path midst life's devious
career.
How much do owe thee, thou dear one de-
parted.
For all that am and for all may be.
The precepts thou gavest when life's journey
started,
Their saving restraints are debt owe tc
thee.
If on visits to earth thy fond spirit can meet
me,
If mothers fond love may still glow in tn,
breast,
In angelic whispers each night, 0 then gree
mel
Still guide Thy frail child to the land of thu
blest.
| shall meet thee again by the side of life'
river,
In regions of bliss where no pain can annoy
Where parting, and sorrow, and tears, art
known never,
Aud desire is lost in the fulness of joy.

Three Hundred Apple and Peach
Trees Girdled for the Filth Time In the Michigan
Fruit Region.
From the Benton Harbor Barry County,

From the Benton Harbor BERRY C0unty,
Michigag) Palladium.
Again we have to chronicle another di-
aholical outrage. by which the value Of
the orchard recently owned by Martin
Green, Esq, and now the property of w.
| c. Hunter, ESQ.,, of West Liberty, Ohio,
has been ieopardised When this bust.
ness is to stop it is impossible to say, but,
from present appearances, it is to be con-
tinued until the orchard is DESTROYED.
On Sunday afternoon last, some men pass.
| ing through the orchard discovered this
new outrage and Immediately gave notice.
On examination Mr. Cook, who is tenn
porarily occupying the premises until DR..
| Hunter can arrange to move his family
here, discovered that about three hundred
apple and peach trees were again com.
pletely girdled, the work having been
done more effectually than ever II is
impossible to tell when this iiendish
work was done, but probably within
forty eight hours of the discovery. The
trees, no doubt, will be saved as the
weather was very favorable, and the
work of binding up and covering the
wounds with grating wax was COM
menced as soon as practicable. This is
the fifth time that this orchard has been
girdled, and it is the strangest affair that
we ever heard of. It is strange that the
trees have not been killed; but there are
very few that are materially injured, the
wounds of the previous girdlings having
healed over nicely. 1t is no less strange
that the murderous work has always been
done about the same time of the month.
and on clear moonlight nights, and that
the men have not been seen, and that Mr..
Green has not been able to form any idea
of who the scoundrels arc who have per-
petrated this crime. The orchard has
been closely watched until just before
new attack. when it has been thought no
further effort would be made to destroy
the property. 1t is strange that this last
attempt on the life of the trees should be
made when it is well known that Mr..
Hunter-who is gentleman of high
standing where he has formerly lived,
and, as he is an entire stranger to the
people here, cannot be supposed to be
the object of any persons hatred-owns
the property, and that Mr.. Green, against
whom, no doubt, the outrage has been
intended, has no interest in the property
Probably the scamps think Mr. Green's
sale is sham, because he sold the prop.
erty far below its value.

LEsRED OF THE Ass-The legends respect
ing the ass are as quaint rs they are innumer-
able According to an old rabbinical legend,
no being could enter the ark unless Noah ten.
dered special invitation. When the flood
overwhelmed the world, the devil, who was
at the time wandering on the earth, saw that
he was about to be- cut off from contact with
mankind, and that his dominion would be
lost forever The ark being completed, and
the beasts called to enter it in their proper
srder tine ASS turn came IN IN. que course
ken with fit of obstinacy, and refused to en-
ter the vessel according to orders. Noah Fl
nally lost patience, and struck the animal
sharply, crying at the same time to the head
strong beast: Enter, thou DEVIL" Rash
and fateful wordsl The invitation was, of
course, accepted-the devil entered the ark.
We may be sure he gave the patriarch and his
family some trouble during the voyage, and
he was on hand to begin operations again on
dry land as soon as the Acknowledgement should
take ace.--HoarS at Home.

Rents in the East are still ON the decline
TOR very good reasons, among which are the
increased value of curr ncy, the return of bu-
siness to a legitimate basis, and hence small
er profits than were made at war prices, de-
creae in wages and in the cost Of provisions.
The reduction Is a necessary consequence,
nor does it affect land lords, or those who are
out of debt. since money is worth more and
he rent for a certain piece Of property will
buy last as much as ever it would. The same
thing must ensue all through the country,
and will rebound to the general good and
stability of business.
