"A few days since, j. w. Keene, OF
Pembroke, N. Y, took his mare from the
barn, leaving two months colt behind.
On his return, some two hours after, he
found the colt on the roof Of the barn.
Being unable to follow the mare, it had
sought some means of escape. In the
first place it had gone up flight of stairs
fifteen steps-then over the hay NOW,
and out of window in the gable end of
the barn, on to halfroof. From this
elevation it worked its way to the roof of
the main barn, which is very steep; then
it returned to the halfroof, whence, on
the return of the mother, it jumped to the
ground, distance Of fourteen feet, feat
which it accomplished without being the
least injured.

plains that the company charge tariff upon

ing lumber, and insist on their right to do SO.

must be the standard. A Rock island coal
company inquiries: First, has railway
company the right to discriminate In favor OF
small shippers from the same point9 The
Board reply that the company has not the
right, and refer to their published circular.
Second, are the railway companies obliged
TO put In switches for parties owning coal
mines near their tracks? The Board answer
by referring to section 8, article Is, Of the
Constitution, which says: "All railway
companies shall permit connections to be
made with their track, 30 that any such con-
signec, and any public warehouse, coal bank,
or coal yard may be reached by the cars on
said railway" Third, are the railway COM
panies obliged to furnish cars to mining com.

Gold sold in New York yesterday as low

quoted at l07la. This rise is the natural
result OF the increase of the rate of inter

ent Of English inanciers to keep specie at
home.
Currency sold here at one and a half and
two per cent, with a small demand, owing
probably to the generally settled belief
that the banks will not resume on the tenth
as was predicted some time ago. It is said
that six banks ont of the seventeen in the
Cl5aring House are ready to resume. These
are named as the Canal the Germania, the
Hibernia the Louisiana National, the Teu-
ton;a and Pike, Brother & Co. There may
possibly be one or two more in like good

however, by the Clearing House agreement
that no banks shall resume without the
concurrence Of two-thirds Of the banks.
