A Milo \ for Duties.

More than one million dollars was
paid at the New York Custom House,
on Wednesday last, for duties upon i'm.
ported goods. This does not convey the
impression that the tariff is very
formidable obstacle to foreign trade,
or that the American people have been
turned over TO the tender mercies OF
the grinding monopolists who try to
make goods in this country. If it in
dicates anything cleary it 18th at the
people are so prosperous under the pro.
lection of the tariff that they can afford
to indulge to marvellous extent in ar.

A Gur1Os1ty.

Two logs in acomplete state OF pet
riication, have been received by II. L.
Tatnall & Co., lumber dealers. The
logs which are over foot in diameter,
and about six feet in length, were TAX
en- from the bottom Of the Great Pedee
river, where no doubt they have lair
for years. The water in many parts OF
the South appears to possess the pecu'
liar property Of changing different ar
ticles into stone. IL is no uncommon
thing in the vicinity of Newbnrn, North
Carolina, to find large blocks of stone
that are composed OF petriheh shells
and the walls Of the cemetery Vt thai
