There is species of bird's-eye birch, but it is very scarce, and is not more valuable commercially than the plain woods In consequence of the prospect of it's speedy substitution for black walnut, it should be husbanded with the greatest care. An evid. ence of the weight and solidity of the wood is the fact that it will sink after being few days on the water. This fact is a slight drawback to the work of having it conveyed resoated to is binding it together with pine logs, and thus it is brought to the mill but pine cannot always be found where birch grows, and it is then necessary to haul it sometimes great distance with the aid of hOrcac

One of the most touching and significant scenes in these days of mourning was wit messed at Chatanooga last Thursday. After the business meeting of the Army of the Cumberland at noon the bells of the city were tolled and all business was suspended by proclamation of the Mayor, and several thousand old soldiers of both armies marched to Cameron Hill for the requiem service in memory of the late President. As the Con federate division reached the crown of the hill the band played 'Dixie' and the cheer ing of the southern compatriots was heartily responded to by the northern soldiers. Then the marshals of each division with their aides marched to the top of the hill, and the American flag, draped in mourning, was raised to the masthead by Maj. Grant, ez- federal, and Maj. McCullone, ,ex-Confederate while the band played the Star Spangled Banner" and the whole company of 10000 cheered lustily. The flag was then lowered to half mast, while the band played ''Nearer, My God, to Thee" all present standing with uncovered heads. The solemnity of the oc- casion is described awe inspiring, and dur ing the playing of the hymn the whole as sembly stood as with bated breath.

There has been a novel corner in Montreal, caused by combination of cattle shippers there, who pooled their interests, and in- stead of competing for ocean freights bought up all the available cattle space on the regu- lar steamers leaving that port during Septem- ber No sooner had all the freight room been secured than cattle dealers were sur prised by sudden lul in the demand for shipping cattle. They had either to accept the low prices offered or to ship the cattle, and to do this they must pay the high rates of freight. The drovers of cattle were not the men to weaken to the corner without more effort. They met together and declared their purpose to resist the combination, and finally they decided that if they would not sell their cattle the combination would have none to fill the engaged freight room. Ac- cordingly the cattle were then put out to pas ture and others were stalled and withdrawn from the market. The combination met this move with telegrams to the West ordering cattle shipped, which came on, and the en- gagged spaces were occupied. Then the dro- vers weakened, and many shipped their cattle at the high rates of freight, paying in many instances e4, or sOs., on which the combina- ton secured profit of e1@e1 5s. per head of cattle. The combination will, it is assert ed, do much to check the development of Montreal as 8 port of export for cattle.

GARRETT AND GOULD.
Probable Sale OF the Baltimore
and Ohio to jay Gould.

BALTIMORE, September S.-The morn
ing Herald publishes startling rumor,
which it says was widely circulated yes
terday IN commercial circles, to the
effect that President Garrett OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has sold
out to a New York syndicate his in.
terest in the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, amounting to some $1,000 shares,
at $3.50 per share. The rumor was given
some credence bv the late act OF the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad in selling its
control of the Virginia Midland railroad.
After the most careful search no con-
firmation OF the rumor could be obtain
ed from anv source, the officers oil the
railroad stoutly denying it. ,
A counter rumor was also circulated
that negotiations were goingon between
Mr.. John w. Garrett and certain New
York capitalists to sell them his interest
in the Baltimore and Ohio as soon as
the independent line to New York was
definitely laid out and surveyed. Ru-
NOR pointed to Jay Gould as the proha-
bic chief ofthe New York syndicate, as
that worthy is at present much in need
of a through trunk line to New
York from the West to enable
him to successfully compete
with his old rival, Van
derbilt of the New York Central Rail-
road. It will be remembered that i'm.
mediately succeeding the confirmation
of the purchase of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad by
the Pennsylvania Railroad similar
rumor was circulated, to the effect that
a certain New York syndicate, whose
chief was Gould, were negotiating Tor
the purchase OF all the stock OF the Bal
timore and Ohio, and reasons why the
same was impossible were published at
the time
