for grain and that class Of freights, but
boats refuse to carry hay. Under the in
huence Of unfsvorsble sdvices from below
corn and oats are weakening, and de-
cline is anticipated. Owing the lack of
tonnage and dull markets below the stock
OF hay is accommodating, and unless there
should BIO marked falling OF of receipts
further decline may be expected. 1t is
estimated that tho stock now in store here
will not fall far short of nine thousand

The weather is warm and pleasant.
Freights are easy with aprospect of an

The facts narrated herein were told us
Yesterday by gentleman who declared
he could vouch tor their authenticity A
few days ago man dressed in plain but
neat clothes, presented himself 1T the Of
flee OF the cashier of the United States
Branch Mint, and said he would like to
make a draft on the institution.

"A small sum. believe have on de-
post somewhere in the neighborhood OF
l6o ounces ofgold dust"
II don't remember having received anv
such sum recently
NO; | reckon not, for you see don't
think you were here when made the de-
post, and the stranger produced from
his pocketbook brown, age-begrimmed
looking piece of paper, which he handed
to the gentlemanly cashier.
The latter took the paper and read, IRE
eeived of---, in 1854. 100 ounces oi
gold dust, etc. and then exclaimed,
why this has been here for nineteen
wears.

and sick. Then really don't remember
much more about what happened until

sailor, and may be did at any rate there
was no help for it. and did my duty as

in that country, and have been trying my
luck in almost every quarter of the globe.

An examination of the books revealed
the fact that the amount had been deposited

kept in readiness for the depositor. The
man was informed that the government

 IN MEMORBAM.

Lines CD the death of the wife of Adju- tant George O. Webster, United States army. by the clergyman who buried her: Rest thee. young wife! thy work is done. The work we deemed had scarce begun; Body, beneath the hallowed sod, And soul, with God
 Rest thee, young wife. the dark Hood past The haven gained, thy anchor east Secure upon the heavenly shore, Thy trial OCT.
 His blighted love was fond and true. It cherish'd thee thy short life through. AS though thou ever must abide Close by his side.
 The quiet home, where spirits dwell, We know not now, we can not tell Where God thee keeps beneath His arm Safe from all harm.
 But doubt we not-whereer bs, Thy Savior now refreshes thee; That memory of days gone by Comes gently nigh. And he for whom was raised t.s prayer While here on earth, shall still 1t share, Still for him in love to plead For all he need.
 Plead for thy husband, that he bear Unmurm' ring all his bitter care. And meekly bow beneath the rod, Bow to his God.
 Thy child does, too, in peace abide Within Christ's ark, content to hide In safety there. till storms shall cease In endless peace.
 They now are where no rude alarm Shall ever more disturb their calm; For they the further shore have won, Their work Is done. T. B. L.. Little Rock, Ark, February, 1873.

The following is passage from one of the private letters of the late Mir. Charles Dickens, written from Lausanne:
 ''There are two old ladies English) living here who may serve me for few lines of gossip, as have intend ed they should, over and over again; but I have always forgotten it. There were originally four old 1adies-sisters; but two of them have faded away in the course of eighteen years, and withered by the side of the John Kemble in the ceretery. They are very little and very skinny, and each of them wears row of false curls, like little rolling pins, so low upon her brow that there is no forehead-nothing above the eyebrows but deep horizontal wrinkle, and then the curls. They live upon some small annuity. For thirteen years they have wanted very much to move to Italy, as the eldest old lady says the climate of this part of Switzerland doesn't agree with, and preys upon her spirits; but they have never been able to go. because of the difficulty of moving the books.' This tremendous library be- longed once upon time to the father of these old ladies, and comprises about fifty volumes. have never been able to see what they are, because one of the old la- dies always sits before them; but they look, outside, like very old backgammon boards. The two deceased sisters died in the firm persuasion that this precious property could never be got over the Sim plon without some gigantic effort to which the united family was unequal. The two remaining sisters live, and will die also, in the same belief. met the eldest levi dently drooping) yesterday, and recom- mended her to try Genoa. She looked shrewdly at the snow that closes up the mountain prospect just now, and said that when the spring was quite set in and the avalanches were down, and the passes we'll open, she would certainly try that place, if they could devise any plan, in the course of the winter, for moving the books The whole library will be sold by auction here, when they are both dead, for about a napoleon; and some young woman will carry it home in two journeys with 8 basket"
