AL QUIET on The RHrSR-"-As we
anticipated would be the case, everything
was quiet yesterday, at the German Bank,
except the rush Of deposItors to pass their
money in, and receive therefor, certificates.
Occasionally, and only oery occasionally,
certificate was presented for redemp.
ton. This was promptly done, and no
questions asked. More money was re.
ceiyed, yesterday, than was withdrawn
Saturday evening; in fac:, nearly an
equal amount to that taken out during the
run" was deposited while the run" was
in progress. Quite number oil those who,
under the pressure Of excitement, with.
drew their funds on the evening named,
came back early yesterday morning and
gave assurances Of restored confidence BY
depositing again. While the Directors
no doubt were considerably annoyed BIZ
the totally unwarranted suspicion cas-,
on the institution managed By them, they
are fully compensated Tor the ANNOYANCE
in the knowledge Of the facts that the re.
cent attempt to destroy the bank has re.
suited in q most miserable failure on the
part Of those making it, and that it is
stronger to-day in cash, credit, and
confidence than at any former period in
its history.

MAKING WSE.-Msjor Franzheim has
a large force Of men at work day and
night securing the vintage Of the present
year. A visit TO his establishment on
Market street will convince any one that
this is busy time with those engaged in
wine making. Grapes are coming in By
the wagon load almost constantly; one
gang of men are crushing the ripe, lusci-
Gus fruit; smother, in manipulating the
presses from which pours the sweet, de.
licious juice. To an inquiry as to the
quantity he would make this year, Maj.
F. replied that he could not say, d efnite.

viz: about $1,000 gallons.

weather. The side walls have now reach.

Yesterday, men were engaged pumping
out the water collected in the tank during

CHURCHES USPRovIDED WITH ORGANS
should BY all means secure one Of the Eu.
reka Organs sold at Sheib's Music Store,
Monroe street, for these reasons 1st, they
are cheaper than any others Of same
power and capacity, while much more
effective; because, I'd, the octave coupler
couples do1tT instead Of up, doing away
with the weakness Of the upper octave as
found in all other instruments; Sd, the
sub.bsss, by use Of the return coupler,
really extends tpO octaves. No instru
ment gives so much in return for the
money as these, and Mr.. Sheib's terms are
very liberal to churches, 80 all interested
in these matters should call at Sheib's and
see them.

Expert Carving.

Hue, who by extended explorations of
a section of the habitable globe scarcely
known save by its name, between Tar
tary and China, gives many extraordin-
ary accounts of customs and manners
peculiar to the people, which strangely
contrast with our civilization.
On one occasion he came upon a Mon
gol encampment. Being kindly received,
he purchased sheep of native. A
Mongol butcher slaughtered the animal
with such surprising despatch as to as
tonish the good Catholic Father. But
the climax was when, with long knife,
the butcher drew out the entire skele-
ton from the flesh without fracturing OF
doing violence to a single bone.
They are so expert in that particular
art, which amounts almost to science
knowing as they do each bone, its name
and exact position-the frame of an OK
or any other animal is treated in the
same manner with unerring facility.
As Turks use neither knives nor forks
they have the skill to jerk out the bone:
of fowl when placed upon the table
with similar adroitness, leaving the body
in its original form. Their knowledge
of anatomy, however, falls immeasura-
bly, below that of the Mongols, who
practice dissections ON worthless carcasei
for the purpose of ascertaining how
they are constructed.

The Hunting Spiders.

Amongst the spiders called the hun
ters, and the vagrants, some seize the
prey like the lion, or the tiger with the
aid of few or no tolls, by jumping upon
them when they come within their reach.
We hade often observed white or yell
lowish species of crab-spider-a tribe SO
called because their motions resemble
those of the crab, which lies in wait for
her prey in the blossoms of unbellifer-
GUS and other white -blossomed plants
and can scarcely be distinguished from
them which, when fly or other insect
alights upon the flower, darts upon il
before she is perceived.
There is very common black and
white spider amongst the vagrants
which may also be seen in summer on
sunny rails, window sills, etc. When
one of these spiders, which are always
on the watch, spies fly OF gnat in the
distance, he approaches softly, step by
step, and seems to measure the interval
that separates him from it with his eye
and if he judges that he is within reach
first fixing thread to the spot on which
he is stationed by means of his fore-feet
which are much longer and larger than
the others, he darts upon his victim with
such rapidity, and so true to an aim
that he seldom misses it. Whether hii
station is vertical or horizontal, is o.
little consequence-he can leap equally
] well from either, and in all directions.
