he was found some time after dark. at the

The Washington Republican thinks the
Administration is frequently subjected to the
complaints OF Office seekers who fail to obtain
the places they apply for. 1t says that were
the offices equal to the applicants there would
be no trouble; but, as Mr. Lincoln once re-
marked "the difficulty is that there are not
as many holes as there are pegs"

MEMoRY.-A public exhibition of the won
derful circumstautial memory possessed by
Daniel Mccartney, an old and iIliterate man,
was given in Columbus, Ohio, one night last
week. II began by some one asking him on
what day of the week was December l, 1864.
He answered promptly, Thursday and said it
was pleasant where he lived, lin Iowa at the
time.) He associated with the day a mar.
riage in his neighborhood, and gave the names
of the parties. Similar questions were asked.
until twentyNsix dates had been mentioned by
different persons. and the answers on an average
given correctly inside of six seconds. He was
then examined in mathematics, multiplying
three figures, and extracting square and cube
root mentally with great rapidity. His knowl.
edge of the Bible was then tested. and he told
with rare exceptions, the exact chapter aud
verse of every passage read.

by which our people can be protected from
these petty thieves? From the number of
strange negroes on our streets, it is strongly
suspected that they are sent from other places

worthless fellows are thus transferred. il might
be we'll to look into the matter. This com.

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-The
Cumberland 4iNcganidn of Wednesday says
''The hum of industry at the boat yards and
coal wbarves, and the hurrying to and fro Of
the boatmen, indicate brisk business upon
the canal, which is sustained by the figures
we have obtained from the canal office. Up
to yesterday noon there had been 635 clearan-
ces of boats for the season. an increase over
lust year, to the corresponding date, of $50
boats. During the month of March 545 boats
were cleared, carrying 60,O49 tons of coal,
l27 tons of fire. brick, 5000 feet of lumber
and g tons of sundries. The shipments of

The CROPS ~ EUROpE-The latest crop
accounts from England (March 2Oth) speak
OF frost in exposed places, followed by heavy
snow storm, which checked vegetation. in,
surcd the young grass, and hindered field
work except upon the highest lands. From
Belgium, Holland and France there are un
favorable accounts of mischief done to the
crops by the remarkable fluctuations of March
weather. Meat, being scarce on the continent
is likely to advance in price. and this will
s'itfen the demand for breadstufTs. which are
very fruI, with indications of rising market,
Russia alone seems to have n surplus, and
she will be our only formidable competitor in
the English and French markets.
