seeded have come up well and promise fair
crops. Nearly all have been cutting wood In
the intervals of regular work. and expect to
have large track cleared this winter for addi-

births in the colony, one girl the other boy. The
boy is named after Mr.. Jonas Friedenwad of this
city, father Of Mr.. Joseph Friedenwald and is
called Jonas Friedenwald Franklin. The colon

babe him to marry a second time. Both Of the

BRISK TRADE IN BALTIMORE on ORDERS FROM
LONDON BANKERS.
special dispatch to the Philadelphia Times
from Baltimore, Dec. Il. says: An extraordi-
nary demand has sprung up here for Confeder-
ate bonds. In answer to an inquiry as to what
disposition was made Of what is known TO be q
worthless security, Mr. Cox, Of Smith, Cox &
Co., said he had not the slightest idea as to
what ultimately became of the paper lie only
knew that for some time past he had been re-
ceiving large orders for the bonds, and that he
now had an order for any part of a million dol
lars worth. One day recently he bought over
500, 900 worth. His orders are from q respec-
table London banking house. to whom thew are
shipped. Prices have ranged from 81 TO els
per thousand; at present they are worth from
81 30 to $3.50, and a large block brought SO. rs
day or two ago. The orders are wholly for
coupon bonds. Letters are received from all
parts Of the south. some Of them quite amusing.
The probabilities and possibilities of the future
OF the alleged securities are conlectured in a
grave manner. Many bonds are brought that
have been neatly framed, some have been pasted
on fire-boards aud screens, aud one old gentle
man brought in a lot which he desired to de-
post as collateral for large loan. arguing that
some day they would be worth their face value.
Some OF the incidents are ridiculous, but the
TACT remains that there is O demand for the
bonds, and they can be readily sold at 50 for
every 81 600 bond
