FRIDAY, April 10.
The distribution OF goods from fret hands the
past week has been confined to small lots, aud the
agsegate of sales has not beer la-ge. Prices have
remained unchanged, but the fact that the unseg-
sonable weather has interrupted traffic somewhat
with Jobbers has led to somewhat lighter de.
mand from agents than would have existed with
pleasant weather. Trade in all branches of dry
goods has been confined to such lots as were re-
CURED to fl orders and the stocks of jobbers are
kept to low point. The New England trade have
not bought extensively, and there will be an aver

closes, but the demand will be likely to be confined
to small quantities.

Perkins was as honest q man as
ever set foot in Albany. Money

but thought ! would have a little
fun with him SO l went down into
his room one evening and said:
sPerkins, what do you think Of
that underground railroad bill :
Are you going to vote for it"
"Well," said Perkins, 81 haven't
made up my mind yet exactly. l
am inclined to think it good bill.
But why do you ask !"
IL thought you were in favor OF
it," said l, "and as long asyou have
concluded to vote for it, just want
ell to say to you that the men inter
ested in it are paying five hundred
dollars for votes, and as it is com
ing up on its final passage to-m0r'
row, you can just as we'll have the
money as not; you'll vote for the
bill, any way"
"Vote for the bill! ILL be hanged
first " cried the irate Perkins. "No,
sir! if improper means are being
taken to pass this thing, as you say,

time. You can put me down. NO y

You are bound to vote that way, III
get you the FIVE hundred dollars all

"Can such things be I" exclaimed
Perkins, rising from his seat and
tearing up and down the room in a
whirlwind of righteous wrath and
virtuous indignation. "What a
state of things this is! A plague
on both of your houses; won't vote
at ALL"

ing about the neck should be very
moderate in quantity and worn sc
loose as to prevent the slightest
compression.
The great errors frequently com
mitted in clothing this part of the
body, consist in wearing such an
amount as to overhead and weaken
the throat, and thus render it easily
susceptible to cold, or in wearing it
SO tight az to retard the circulation
of the blood to and from the head.
Great care should be exercised
upon this point, as the arteries and
veins leading from the heart to the
brain are situated so near the sur
face in the neck, that a slight COM
preston there serves to check the
flow of the blood.
Many cases of congestion of the
