OBITUARY.-Diedi in Ogdensburg, N.
Y, March 31st, Lawrence Roche, aged
80 years.
Mr.. Roche was the eldest son of Den
mis- Roche, of this city. He was born
in Ireland, but came to Ogdensburg with
his parents about twenty years ago. He
learned the printers trade in the Boys
Journal office, and early developed
great ability as writer. At one time
he held an editorial position on the Rut-
land Herald, and later on the Burlington
Free Press, and was special cOrrespOn-
dent of the New York World, at the
time of the Fenian raid, into Canada,
over the Vermont border. Later he
was proof-reader on the Journal Of
Commerce, and more recently had been
employed at New Haven, Connecticut.
He was brilliant, genial and liberal. a
few months ago the seeds of consump-
ton were developed and unerringly
pointed to fatal termination. He came
home, on Saturday last, to die, but had
barely reached the arms of friends when
the fatal bolt descended. His family
has been particularly afflicted. Two
sisters have preceded him to the grave,
victims of the same rapacious disease
The above notice, from the Ogdens-
burg Journal, will convey painful and
unexpected intelligence to many of our
readers. We can add but little, if any
thing, to that which has been so well
said by the Journal Mr. Roche had
peculiar talents for the position he so
long occupied in connection with the
HERALD. He was full of energy, fresh,
ready and vigorous writer, social and a.
tractive, and had the faculty of attach
ing to himself many and warm friends.
After the dissolution of his connection
with the HERALD, he was, forsOme time,
reporter of the County Court, under the
law providing for that Office. In this,
as in editorial life, he was prompt,
ready aud faithful. We mourn him as
a friend, and deplore his early death.

cloudy weather, is apparently more
probable.

The receipts Of cheese AT Boston. fo
the week ending Saturday last were t..
1913 boxes. The receipts for TIL past
thirteen weeks foot up II, AT boxes and
68 casks against 1899 boxes and 4
casks the same time last year There
has been a fair demand from the trade
at previous prices, the sales Of choice
factory ranging from 16@17c, and com
mon to good, including dairy and fac
toro, at from 11@15c per ID. We no
tice little tirmer feeling at the Close,
in sympathy with the rise ia gold and
an improved export demand in New
York.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending saturday last were 1921
boxes, and the exports were 17,481
boxes The cable was 73s. Gold closed
at III, and the highest quotation for
cheese was lie. For the corresponding
week last year, the receipts were 3,066
boxes, and the exports were 365 boxes
The cable was 7Os Gold closed at
1103. and the highest quotation for
cheese was 1850. 1t will be seen that the
receipts last week were over 10000
boxes more than they were for the cor
responding week last year, and the ex-
ports were over 1900 more. If the
shipments keep up, as there seems to be
reason to think they will, owing to the
light shipments last season and the com
paritively small stock of American
cheese in the English market, there is a
good prospect that the opening prices
will be a good or better than they were
last year.
There was shipped from St. Adams

quotations given.

to turn over the steamer Nirginius to the
American authorities Captain Whiting ac-
cepted her, and ascertaining th1t a receipt
would be acceptable, gave one. \ word
or two more were civilly spoken and the
Spaniard stepped over the side, signaled
to his carmen, and in ten minutes was
again upon the deck Of his own vessel,
having discharged with becoming dignity
the unpleasant duty imposed upon him
by his Government.
The Nirginius was in a most filthy con-
dition. Sac was leaking considerably,
and the Spanish captain stated that he
had kept the pumps going continually
since her arrival, to keep the water down,
Barring the filthy condition Of the vessel,
she was much better than expected. The
Firginius steamed about 200 yards, all
going well, when her engines suddenly
refused to do duty, and it became neces-
sary for the Dispatch to take her in tow.
The two vessels wcntOut OF the harbor
briskly, the Spanish flag being displayed
by the fort us they passed. Ia an hour
we were at sea. The Eiroin1us was soon
again under steam. The Dispatch ceased
to tow her, and the two vessels steamed
together toward the Tortugas.
When the steamers reached the ToTtu-
gas they found the United States slOop-of-
war Ossipee and coal schooner await
ing their arrival. Provisions will be
transferred from the Ossipee to the Vir-
ginus and whatever coal may be needed
will be supplied by the schooner

Advertising and the Panic.

Under the caption, Advantages OF
Advertising in Duh Time" the New
York Ecenja9 Past says that a merchant
who continued his Advertisements during
the whole period of stagDation in 1891
and Notwithstanding many predictions
that il wouldn't pay, declared that his
sales were steady and his profits satisfac-
tory, while many merchants around him.
who couldn't afford TO advertise, saw
their clerks stand idle behind their coun-
tiers. There could not be better testi-
monial 10 the efficacy OF advertising. 1t
is a Northumberland fact that during
prosperous times the house that adver-
tises largely is the house lhat ilourishcs
Indeed, the testimony Of the greatest mer-
chants in the land, the largest ship and
steamboat owners, the most successful
men of all classes, is universally TO the
same effect, that advertising is the verita
bic bread upon the waters which re
turns unto them after many days; and if
there is any time in which the adyan-
tagc Of advertising il more particularly
felt, it is during and after the depression
consequent upon a panic. Not alone
is the keeping up Of appearances
a sine qua NM Of successful
trade, but we must mover lose sight OF the
fact that, however depressed the seller
may be in the day OF trouble, some one
has been invariably shrewd enough to lay
by a store for q rainy day, while hundreds
have boarded up in anticipation of this
very crisis. These men want to buy--they
must buy-and their trade will naturally
dow to the house which advertises the
most, and appears to keep its head the
highest above water Whatever a man
does in the midst Of a financial trial, 80
long as his ship will float at ALL let him
advertise. It will strengthen his credit
then and forever after; twill bring TO his
store or his cOunting-room scores of Gus,
toners, who, from the disappearance of
their old friends from the advertising lists,
have imagined them dctunct In every
respect il viii pay. This has been the eX-
periencc and is the testimony o; the most
successful business men in the United

CHRISTMAS HYMN.

Upon Judcas starlit plain
There broke a sudden glory,
And distant mountains caught The strain
OF an cXating story.
Above the sad and weary earth
We're angel voices ringing
The blessings OF a Saviors birth
The burden OF their singing.
Ii trembcd to their harps OF gold,-
That strain diyincly tender;
Along the shining skies il rolled
In grand and choral splendor
II iloaed DER the sleeping world,
A balm for all its sorrow,
Tts flag Of heavenly peace unfurled,
To greet brighter morrow.
The shepherds keeping vigil there
Had heard the advent angel,
WhO-e word Of grace had Calmcd their fear.
And told the new cVanggl.
And when the music ceased, they went
To Bcthlehems lowly munger,
Whore Mary, mother, held, content,
The wondrous infant stranger
SIN, when the music dies away.
And hearts with grief are breaking,
We take our path from day to day.
And, earthly fields fursaking
We go 10 Bethlehem and kuecl,
Where mystic incarnation,
In human form, doth God reveal
Himself, our consolation.

nine men from the Pawnec. The Dispatch
sailed from Key west Sunday, and
reached Bahia Honda, about noon on
Monday. The correspondent says: "As
soon as the Dispatch was sighted from the
shore, the Spanish flag, bearing the crown,
no withstanding the republican edict
8bOlishing that mOnarChiCul emblem, was
flung to the breeze We discovered Il
black side-whcel steamship, with two
smoke stacks, lying about a mile beyond
the fort, and in perfectly smooth water.
No other craft except two or three coast
ing schooncrs were then visible, and il was
not until we were about To come to an
! chor that we discovered a Spanish sioop-

two and a h.limiles away. The Dispatch
proceeded slowly and steadily along and
anchored about 400 yards from the Viz
