The most distinguished clergyman of

cans, in great distress of mind, visits q
Trademarks shop, q warehouse of the gro.
Gerry style, devoted to the sale of hams,
sugars, beans and so on. He sits down, in
great distress of mind, until the salesman
comes in. The salesman is in q bad
humor; be will not speak to the great
clergyman, but goes about his business,
brushing the cheese, asserting the hams

man waits. The salesman finally stalks to
the door to go out. The great clergyman
pursues him, forces himself upon the shop
keeper, insists upon knowing the cause,
OF this extraordinary GOODNESS. The gro.
ceryman denounces him for his s~el6shness,

There is no change Of weather to report
18th inst.) since our last issue. There has been a
few light showers during the week, barely suf-
fcient to allay the dust in the city. The sugar
manufacturers do not seem to complain, al
though light showers would greatly strengthen
the young canes.
There is nothing doing in politics, legislation
has been suspended for a time, but at this sea-
son of the year the planters are not at all anx-
ious to be summoned from their duties in the
cane fields to assist in law making. Sugar ship
ping is the most lively business that We know
of at the present time, but there is plenty of
work for all who are able and willing to work.
The Coopers have their hands quite full.
