THE LAST PRAYER.

DR.. Backus, president of Hamilton
College, was upon his dca;h-bod. fiis
physician called upon him, and after
approaching his bedside and examining
his symptoms with interest and solem-
nifty, left tho room without speaking,
but, as he opened the door to 40 out,
was observed to whisper something to
the servant in attendance. "What did
the physician say to YOU 2" said DR..
Back us. "Ho said, sir, that you cam
not live to exceed half an hour" "Is it
so?" said tho great and good man.
"rBen take me out of my bed and place
me upon my knees; lot me spend that

of the world |" His request was COM
piled with, and his last breath was
spent In praying for the salvation Of his
fellow men. He died upon his knees,
and ."entered heaven with prayer"

NEWSP ApEIs PATRONAGE.

There seems, says contemporary, to
be great many different ways of dcfn.

paper patronage" and, as party in

same, We give the following disquisition
on the subject by one who knows there
of he speaks 1t may serve, perhaps,
as mirror, in which certain parties may
be able to "see themselves as others see
them :"
"NIany long and drcary years in tn G

REMARKS.

1t being understood this morning that cattle ct
Albany were scarce and prices rather higher,
trade was quick with some little advance on last
great change in quotations, as we heard Of no
sale lac per Id. for the best bullock and but
few at that price. AS many of the lots from. Can
ada, 10 all nearly 200, were sold wholesale TO
Brighton buyers, the amount Of stock at retail
was rather small and generally the sellers had
their own way. The owners of some 80 Canada
cattle were not satisfied with prices offered, and
as buyers would not come to their terms, the cat
tie remained in the fret hands. G. w. BrOwnel
sold an extra pair of oxen, fed by p. Brady Of
Burlington, VT, equal TO those from the Connec-
ticut river feeders, $500 lbs, at Cambridge, for
I4c; one very fine bull from the Thorn stock, 22l5
Ibs., at market, and one good steer from Geo. L.
Reynold at &c live weight; "a year old steers.
and an OK fed by D. ]. TeacbOut Of Essex, VT, at
&c live weight; one French OK aud one steer al
l2c per ID. dressed weight. A. Skif sold oxen,
100 lbs at l2Ac dressed, 2 steers less than
years Old 245O lbs. and some raised by L. Chase,
Buskirks Bridge, y. Y, for s2l7, and cows az
IL to lie per ID. on dressed weight; W. B. Dow
oxen, 100 lbs, at l2c; of 800 lbs, at l2Kc,

oxen at l3c, at l23zc, at &c, one stag at lHo

The number of sheep at market is small, and
most Of the lots very good, and sold from l01e
per ID. for the best unsheaIed down to SIC per
lb. for sheared sheep, according to the quality.
The supply Of veals is rather beyond the de-
mand, and IS the only cheap meat in the mar

Indians InSoIent.

CHICAGO, May 3.
A party of Sioux Indians had appeared
at the Fort of the Hudson Bay Company
at White Horse Plain, and made most in
solent demands, stating they were going
to kill all the Americans in the settle
ments. Upon being furnished with sup
plies they were told that if they fight
Americans they would also have to fight
half breeds. They consented to retire for
the present, promising however to return
and accomplish their threats. A general
Sioux war was apprehended and settle
ments on the American side of the line
were greatly alarmed, and fears are enter
tanned that the military did not fully real
ize the imminent danger and would not
afford help in proper season.
