GENERAL business during the past
week is reported not quite as good
as usual, owing to bad weather,
muddy roads, and other causes. The
course oi the grain markets, too,
has been downward; also, hog pro-
ducts and general provisions. The
simple fact is. that prices thus far
during the year have been higher
than circumstances warranted. There
may come a time, between now and
the AeXt harvest, when some few
articles will be scarce and high,
but for the present lower prices
rather than higher are altogether
probable. The late boom was spec
ulative and artificial, rather than
II aturai, and the late harvest we sus-
pect will turn out better than was
anticipated and reported. There is
to be no famine in this country this
year, nor anything approaching one.
Mr.. locke (Nasby), who has re-
Gently returned from q tour of Ire
land, declares that the squalor, mis-
cry aud helplessness of the poor
people of Ireland exceed the power
o; words to desngi0a. Their condi-
ton is infinitely worse than was
that of the negroes of our Southern
States during slavery. According
TO his representations, the farmers
OF America have more regard for
the comfort and care OF their horses
and cattle than the landlords have
for the comfort and welfare OF their
tenants.

Raalroad comrnfssioners.

The Railroad Commissioners, since their hearing as to the merits Of car couplers, have decided to recommend two to the Legislature for use on railroads in this State. One is the automatic cam-acting car coupler invented by ". L. Everitt, Esq. of this city. This coup Ter was the only absolutely automatic coupler shown, and was one of the few which were adjustable to connect cars having platforms of different heights. It is intended only for freight cars, requires no setting. and is al ways ready for use. In making connections no attention is needed, and to break con- nection the brakeman pulls chain which is attached to the coupler and is connected with the roof of a covered car or the platform of a flat car. Mir. Everitt is arranging for fit, ting freight train on the Consolidated road with the couplers. The other coupler rec commended was .

one another,-Who could nave W1SneQ 1t 70 Dc
 otherwise in it's progress or in it's closing?
 The closing was at the hour of earliest
 dawn on Saturday last. It was falling
 asleep, aswe call it. But the sleep was only of
 the bodily powers. The active spirit
 passed at that moment beyond our earthly
 vision to it's home. As the tidings came to
 us so suddenly, could not but ask myself in
 the hours that immediately followed, What is the new experience through which he is
 now going? We often think of the great ac-
 count and the solemn judgment when life is ended and every serious mind must feel the
 influence of this coming scene as giving to
 all that we do here deep significance. But of the new state of existence for our venera-
 ted friend in those first hours, I could not
 help thinking that the judgment was found in his case to be all comprehended in 8 Fa-
 ther's welcome to the heavenly house. May we not believe that dying was to him but
 the closing of his eyes to the familiar sur roundings of the home in which he had lived so long and so happily and the opening them a single moment afterward to<he other home beyond our sight, and thus that there was no interval or waiting.
 Every sudden death brings the unseen world very close to our thoughts and seems to show us that it is only thin though impen- etrable veil that separates life here from life there But when we find man like him whose departure from us we now mourn dying so 1 suddenly we are almost forced to think that any break or interruption in the mental and spiritual work is impossible. Our friend on the last evening was engaged in the prepara- | tion of paper upon one of the vital ques- tions of our national life. He left it lying on his table unfinished as he retired to rest for the night It was, like so many that he had written before, discussion Of an l evil which has long disgraced the nation, and was designed to inspire the public mind with right ideas, and to help, in some measure, 1 towards good result. Iu the morning, in stead of returning 10 his study table and re- suming his work, as he had expected to do, 1 he saw the veil parting asunder, and. in an swer to call from the Divine Master, he en- 1 tered within it. And then it closed behind him. That was all Surely we must believe that in that other room, or other home, he found another work all ready for him to be- 1 gin, and that he at once turned to it, em. 1 ploying now his unwearied and widely y-rang
 -fng powers, not indeed in the removing o1 evil, for this no longer manifests its pres ance, but in some line of joy and blessing l in some service of love and good will. Yes- terday at home, in the body, and thersfort

lated to the fuIlness of what we feel The | talk by the freside on many Sunday even | ing in our several homes; the tender recol- lections in many an hour of converse. with our own minds,-these alone | will complete the picture to each one among
 us of the friend who has just left the things ! that are seen for those that are unseen. And yet-as in the family circle-we cannot help
 recalling, even at this hour, some traits of his character and asking the questions what of the past, and what of the future?
 Our friend who has now finished his
 earthly work was man of varied powers and of admirable qualities, both of mind and
 heart He was made by nature on grand
 scale. We who knew him as fellow citizen ! and a friend came to understand this more
 and more fully as the years passed on.
 Those, also, who merely saw his face and
 heard of him or from him in other places
 were impressed by the same thought. No
 man could read 3 page of his writings or : listen to one of his more powerful discourses without having some true appreciation of his extraordinary ability. We have often
 said this as we have spoken about him in the past We say it again, and with deeper sense of it's truth, if possible, at this hour. And why should we not aIlude to it even
 here, as bis mortal part still lies before us
 It is not as praise to him that it comes to ou1 r 1 lips-which, at such time, he might wish to l be left unaxpressed- as 8 grateful re membrance for ourselves.

what was false and wrong. It was not private hostility. He was 8 genuine lover of freedom. He had the courage of soldier when he had once committed himself to the battle. He even gloried in being present in the thiekest of the fight, with all it's excitement and it's danger. Yet it was the cause that he fought for, not his own reputation. He was as little inspired by seIfshness or ignoble feeling as any man whom have ever met.
 In the conflicts on less vital subjects than the one just mentioned it has often been the play and force of his intellect alone which have been engaged. He was always, no doubt, formidable controyersialist. He re- ioiced in debate and discussion and was ready for it at any moment. But he was by no means passionate, or jealous, or in any way bad-hearted opponent. He never de- sired to do evil to another. He never cher ished the remembrance of evil inflicted by another upon himself He never waited and watched for an hour of tequital or revenge. For sixteen years my associate professors in the Divinity school and myself have had the most constant opportunities for the closest intercourse with him and it is our united and joyful testimony, as 1t is that of his two colleagues in the pastorate, that we have never had the acquaintance of man of no- bier temper, of more kindly nature, of a more beautiful spirit as related to fellow workers, of more freedom from suspicious ness or jealousy of other men, of larger heartedness, "a man, in word, to whom we could give our affection and esteem more vii ingly than to him. And though he does not need our testimony where he is revered by every one, as he is in New Haven, it is sat- isfaction to us to give it, as we find ourselves bereft of his presence for all the future of our lives.
 The Apostle John is called Son of Thur. der in the Gospel by St. Mark. To some ii has appeared strange that such man could afterwards become the gentle, loving disciple who leaned upon the breast of Jesus, and who, in his latest days, made it the bur- den of his exhortation to his Christian breth. ren, that they should love one another. In the case of the friend whose loss we mourn to day it was the heat of the conflict and the zeal for the truth-as 1t may have been ir the apostles early days-which made him. tc the view of many. a man of bitter hostility. But it was only the armor and the smoke oi the battle which were concealing the man. How clearly, in these sixteen years of which l I have spoken, the reality of the nature ha. ahone forth, and has proved that the com batant. who was full ef the soldiers spirit 2
