4be business transactions of the last ten
yestßf and. that balance now bids fair to be
again augmented. From the Ist day pf
July ,1849, to the 80th ult., the imports
of the United States from foreign coun
. tries hpve amounted to. $2,766,461,473,
and the export* daring the same period,
to $2*761*889,175, exhibiting a balance of
trade ,in favor of the United States, during
1 that period, of : The amounfc
of itnporte .and exportsduring the last de
cade are more than doable those of the
.preceding .corresponding period. The
'amount.of gold exported from the'United
States dn.ring.the last decade has amounted
-to 400,000,009; the amount of .breadstuff's
.'andproviaions exported during the same
‘ period is ,$450,000,000. The discovery of
the California gold mines in 1848, and the
■repeal of the British corn laws in 1849,
fhaye exercised a great effect in enlarging
the amount of exports, and thereby keep
ing the balance' of trade in favor of the

PpispNiso Case.— We learn from the
Juniata county papers that Mrs. Jacob
Dewecs, residing in Patterson, in that
county, and a Mr. Davidson and lady, of
Centre county, visitors,of the former, were
suddenly taken ill, on the ,|th inst., after
.having .partaken of a cake. The symp
toms .‘were - those of virulent poison. A
r. physician was called in, and from the
topis and circumstances concluded that
contained arsenic,*and that it had
been used in mistake for cream tartar.' —
The antidote for arsenic was administered
and they are now convalescing. The
cake liae since been analyzed by the Dr.
Mdfoundto contain a largo quantity of
. arsenic. The cake ww originally intend
. ed' to ;be served up at af picnic opthc 4th,

Missus. EbjroESlt was no part of my
original plan to trouble you in my compliance
with the expressed wishes of many frieqds and.
acquaintances, in your highly esteemed city, in
detailing out meauderings do wn the Ohio and
up a .portion of the “Great Father of Waters”
to this|‘the garden of America. Bet, in view of
our whole route being crowded with sceneries
of suippasing beauty, and much interest to us;
I feel as though a hasty synopsis of thero would
he more than I have time to give, even to one
person, under existing circumstances, therefore
I have recently conclude;! to drop you a few
“ notes by the way," and if you deem thee;
worthy the space they will occupy, you are at

bound for St. Louis, under the command of
Gapt Briokell, certainly the most accommoda

pacity of.a Steamboat Captain or B. R. Conduc

world can produce. At Steubenville we noticed
wheat ripe, and all the way from that point to
Cinoiunatl the inhabitants were in the midst
of harvesting, corn being all ploughed, &c. The
season certainly is two weeks in advance of that
in Blair county. All the arable land in v|ew
of the river, this far, is in a good state of culti
