THE CITY POST.
FRIDAY MORNING
The Month op Maech.—Are there any of
of; oat readers who would not gladly consent to
860 the month of March abolished, ignored,
abandoned -to the four winds of Heaven, in
whioh it seems so particularly to revel and de
light? If any dear friend of Maroh is present
let bim speak; for perhaps we have him offend
ed. We pause for areply—but there is none!
We’ll deal gently with a friendless foo, and
simply enter onr proteat against the unweloome
visitor. Now, without any disrespect to. the
powers that be, or the balance of the year gen*
crally, we beg leavo to Bay, that wo consider
the month of March a very bad "institution.”
Listen to that poor consumptive’s cough,
cough, cough, the lire long night, as he tries in
vain to snatch some hours of fitful Blumber
between the paroxlamß; aggravated and con
firmed day by day, and hour by hour by the
damp and pestilential winds, and the ever
changing’temperatnre of this inclement season.
41 Oh ! coold I but live to see the bursting buds
and Rowers of summer odcg more, I oould die
contented.” Alas, poorheotic, doeß he not know
that March has already marked him for her
own ? No more for him will birds carol their
song* of joy, or the gorgeous dowers of sum
mer unfold their petals to the south wiod’s
breath. The bleak winds shall sing hia re
quiem and his dirge, and the cold rains settle
more firmly tho newly heaped mould upon his
breast.
Ever since we read about tho “Ides of March”
in Roman history, there has always been asao
. dated in our miuda something dreadful and uq
lucky with that period. „ Aye, well might Brutus
say, “The Ides of March remember 1” The
‘Romans considered it an eventful period of the
year, and offered ap praise and thanks giving
when it waa past.
From Btatißtio reports it appears, a much
greater proportion of suicides are committed in
this month, than any other. The cloudless
skies, and fields without a flower, the exhausted
mental and physical energies of the poor, who
« have struggled 4hrough the winter snows and
\ cold, looking forward, —oh ! hov anxiously, to
to the days of- summer yet to come, till hope de
ferred has iudeecd made the heart sick—and
life, to the poor wretoh seems one vast and
dreary blank, not worth the struggle to main
tain; when the coatents of tho little vial so
carefully labelled, the pae of burning charcoal,
or the turbid waters of some contiguous stroam,
opens their eyes to the vista of futurity. Poor
Hood says—
The Weak winds of March,
Made her tremble anil shiver,
Bat not the dark arch,
Nor the block flowing river.
* * * m m
In she plunged boldly,
No matter ho» coldly
Thorough river ran.
• * * * v. * •
Mad from life’s history,
Glad to death's mi.tery,
Swlfr tn he hurled—
Avywbf-re, anywhere,
Oot of the world.
YFo do oot moan, of courge, that hecana > one’s
lungs or liv- r is defective, that they must neces
sarily die in Marob. No, no—no such thing!
'•So keep up your spirits, banish your gloomy
fancies, eat less, and plainer food, ye dyspep
tics, —Veep yoar feet dry, and do not, as yon
value your lungs’ repose, keep your parlors and
chambers so scrupulously nnd carefully filled
witl'-tfry, confined and hot air; in short, don’t
make SbaJmck’s and Abedoigo’a of yourselves,
ob ye pale-faced eoughcrs, and individuals with
"weak lungs,'*' — and there is some hope for you
oven tbougD you are not yet quite through with
March. HSsccrcise your limbs by marching in
the open*air ; defy him ; bravo him to bfa fao?;
and instead of moping and yawning through his
despicable, though ehort reign of empire, while
your
Heart* like nuifflei drum? are bating
Funeral mnrefee* to the praTr,”
console yoarselves with the reflection that
even March must have an end : aud that sum
mer, glorious summer is at hand
The New Postal Abbamgement—FnEpAt*
ment or Letteos —As all cur readers are prob
ably aware, the new postage law will go into
operation on the first of April, at and after
which time, all postage oo letters most bo paid

Serpentine Piano. —This ia a new style of
piano, manufactured by Nunns & Clark, New
York. We yesterday examined an instrument
of that kind, jast received by Mr. 11. Klf.uer,
on Third street, and freely confess that it sur
passes anything we have over seen for beauty of
desigo and Eolidity of workmanship. It is the
most perfect mechanical job that can be con
ceived, and ia doubtless the finest pattern fnr a
piano forte as yet invented. i< is impossible to
give any thiog like aa adequate idea of the costly
elegance of the instrument, and, hence, we’ll
limit our remarks to some of its most strikiogad
vantages. The bass strings are of enormous
thickness, and, running over and above the other
Btringß on a separato bridge, give out a volume
of tone, truly astonishing. The middle and
higher notes are full, mellow, aud clear i n a sil
ver bell. The iron frame is emtcllished by
■Japan work of the most artistic finish and de
sign. The carving on the body, legs, and lyre
of the piano is in excellent taste, and the appear
and of this noble specimen of Americau skill,
altogether, graod and imposing. A visit to Mr.
Kleber’s Btore at this time will richly repay the
trouble, and wo advise all who can appreciate
a splendid piece of work to call and examine. *

WEEKLY MONEY ARTICLE.
Pittsburgh, March 30, lSf>s.
Tbs market continues steady, with no very material
change; there appears to be a gradual increase in demand,
however, which seems to be going West for investment, in
various kinds of produce. Monetary affairs present rather
a good state of thloga, and we can safety say Money is as
plenty and cheap as usual, in any seafon, here. But-ioe.*?
men are not asking for any more thau they actually want;
banks have been pretty liberal in their discounts and still
have money enough for all legitimate purposes. We earn
estly hops our business community will keep within the.
bounds of prudence, lettiDg the past suffice fv-r Itself, and,
from present appearance we think they will aim to go.
ahead in nil good things, eschewing everything that is had
and visionary. The revolutions taking place in every
department of trade, caused by general distrust and a
desire to bring matters and things into thtir own legitimate
channel, has extended to ail tho chief markets of the
world—-they a’l bear testimony to the great convulsions
experienced —aud it will require 8-mo time to place mat
ters in a proper and wholesome condition. We have expe
rienced the sad effects of the commeo evils we had fallen
into, Rnd believe we are only beginning now to partake of
the salutary lessons they teach. Peace in Europe, as Is
confidently anticipated, followed by a good harvest in this
country, must necessarily bring great activity io, and give
a healthy tone to, commerce and prices.
Financial news from California presents rather tin im
proving stale—the harvest la beglnoiog—the rains long
looked for have come—and K Is confidently expected ;lip
yield will be unusually large this season The late shock
will be a great and important less n to them, from which
they will profit; their Totten credit stru lure ha* be.'n
“knocked into a cocked hat," and ibpir mode of transact
ing business in future will have to undergo a very material
change.
In all the Eastern cities money continues eery abundant;
good paper scarce aod, at six months, is readily discounted
Stocks continue to improve. Foreign Exchange firm at 10
and 10J.-4-
The New York banks are expanding agarn, while their
specie is decreasing; these men, from a spirit to make
large dividends, drive away and don’t seem to know their
.-topping joint; but the “jumping off place" may come
sooner than they expect, and a sudden contraction follow.
In Cincinnati, prime paj>er is scarce; street rates are
quoted at 12 to 24 per cent., and there seems to be nc prep
sure at all in money matters: business In all branches
icems brisk. Exchange % to 1 per cent —New Orlean
sight ranges from } £ to 1 per cent, premium.

had a week of cold, disagreeable weather, mak
ing it exceedingly unpleasant for out-door business; but,
happily, to-day (Thursday) is mild and Spring like, giving
indications of the season of the year which has already half
flown. Bu* the snow and rain did not put an embargo on
the brisk tra e we had occasion to notice in our last weekly
report; for notwithstanding the pervereo disposition of the
wea her clerk, we have the same activity coutioued. The
price of Flour does not 6how the slightest tendency down
ward; indeed, it is very firm, with an inclination upward.
A good deal has arrived within a few d ys, by the river;
but the fact is the article of breadstuff, like everything
else, is regulated by supply and demand; and as the de
rnaod is heavier this year than last, and the supply im
measurably less, we see no proFpoct of an abatement in
price a bountiful harvest. We are glad to say
the this are promising. From every section of
the ccuotry (excepting a portion cf Ohio) the prospects are
all favorable to a heavy yield. In Western Pennsylvania,
in particular, the farmers do not appear to have been dis
couraged by their want of fortune last year, as we are in
formed there la on increased breadth of land sown, which
thus far looks promising.
In Bacon there is increased activity, particularly in the
retail branch of the trade. The amopnt arrived this year,
&3 will be seen by the following tab]*, is much smaller
than last:

We are sorry to say the prospects of a large clip of Wool
this spring are not very good. We learn from a gentleman
who has traveled through the wool-growiDg region adjoin
ing this city, and particularly in Washirgton county, that
the number of sheep is not so large this year as last. The
fact that last season the comparatively low price of the ar
ticle dlsappoioted the expectations of most wool-growers,
and that combined with ihe high price of hay and the
Roverity of the winter Is the reason given.

Ths Biter.—Last evening, at dusk, there were 4 feet 6
inches water in the by the pier marks on the Mon
ongahelft bridge. Ice running out of the Allegheny river.
The weather has again become exceedingly moderate and
spring like. . f -
Tne Bteamer “Empire’’ isjthe regular packet for Wheel
ing this morning; she leavesfct 10 o’clock, A. M.
Ta* steamer “Grand leaves to-day for the Upper
Mississippi river. She is well provided with all the accom
modalions for those who are traveling West
The steamer “ Chicago,” CapJ. Millinger, has her shingle
up for Galena and Dubuque ;.she will leave on Saturday
morning.
The regular Cincinnati packet “Pittsburgh” returned
back from Wheeling to Cincinnati, on account of low water
and ice. She will be here to leave on her regular day next
Friday.
The stoamer “ Americus,” we learn from a private des
patch, was burned on the Illinois rivvr, six miie3 below
Naples, on the 28th Inst. Boat and cargo totally lost, but
no lives were lost.
The 6teamer “ Brazil ” was taking on freight yesterday,
wl.h the intention of leaving for- Cincinnati to-day. Capt-
Hutchinson, and bis polite clerk, Mr. Charles Israel, will
make all comforlablo who travel with them.
Thi steamer “Twin City,” Capt,6,Dean, leaves this morn'
log at 9 o’clock, for Cincinnati and Louisville. Mr. Frank
Reno will be found in the clerk’s office, and travelers wil 1
find that their wants will be well attended to. The “Twin
City ” Id a good boat and well officered—give her a call.
The St. Louis Democrat, of 26th iost., says:
The river at this point fell about a foot In the 48 hour?,
ending yesterday-evening at dusk ; and the Ke kuk, is re
ported vlowly On-.the decline. The 2 Illinois Is on a Rtat.d,
with plenty of water for the largest class of boats heavily
ladeD. The Missouri bos rather a small stage of water ut
present, but an Immediate rise is expected io that strenm
by many who have been conversant with its niture for
years. There were few arrivals at this port yesterduy, only
half a dozen.
Tub St Louis Intelligencer makes the following explana
tion relative to the scarcity of Missouri river pilots:
The regular Missouri river paokot steamboatmen to,.k
measures at the opening of the season’s business, which will
Insure them against an evil from whleh they have greatly
suffered heretofore—namely, the undermining rompetit’jm
of outsiders; and while they have thus secured themselves,
they have been compelled to bitch to the other horn of a
formidable dilemma. The plan of operations was to monopo
lize the services of all the Missouri river pilots, and this has
been done on terms, as one would readily Imagine, exceed-,
ingly advantageous to the pilots—being no less than an en-'
gagemont to pay them $3OO per month} for tight months nf
the year, whether in or out of employment, and they agree
ing not to ship on any boat making transient trips. This is
a pretty heavy tax, all things conriderej, but it will no
doubt be found no less injurious than would be the transi
ent trips of outsiders, which will take freight nt less rates
than tbe regular packets. The Missouri river trade is just
now exceedingly profitable, the rates being, for passage to
SL Joseph, $l5; freight, $1,25 100 fog. If a half dozen
Ohio river boats could just make a few trips, these prices
would go down in a hurry. Some of the upper Ohio river
boatmen, who carno around with whaling trips of emigrants
and their plunder for Kansas were somewhat astonished,
end not a little vexed, to find that they had to reship their
passengers and freight, and look for business in other direc
tions. If the pilots could have been had, these boats would
have been willing to pay an enormous price for their servi
ces; bnt they could'nt bo got for “ lovo nor money.”

Prof. Wood’s Ualr Restorative
No article of a similar kind, now before the public, '
enjoys a better reputation as a restorative and invigora- *
ting hair tonic. Its peculiar chemical qualifies have a 1
beneficial effect upon the growth and character of the hair, ■
giving a silky an i glossy t«x cure to that which was former- j
ly of a coarse and dry nature* f It has also a tendency to :
preserve the youthful color and appearance of the hair,
and destroying or counteracting the effects of ego. With '
such recommendations in its favor, we hardly perceive Lon
any lady or gentleman thoold be without to valuable an
adjunct to the toilet. Persons who have ureJ it trem the ;
age of sixty-four down, declare It to be the most perfect ar
ticle to secure the object intended ever yet produced. Gray
hair, whether produced by the slow progress of time, or by
any of the causes which whiten tbo lockn prematurely, is
restored to a healthy, lively appearance, and nil the dixa.
greeablo effects of dryno3R, the accumulation of dandruff
or like impurities, are removed.
From the Editor of tho Real Estate Advertiser, 27 School st
Boston, March 20, !Si4
Pbof. Wood: Dear Sir—Tlniing become prematurely
quite gray, I was induced samo six weeks since, to make
trul of your Hair Restorative. I have used less than two
bottles, but tho gray hairs hnvo all disappeared; and al
though my hair boa not fully attained its originnl color,
yot the process of change is gradually going on, and I have
great hopes that, in a short time, my hair will bo as dark
as formerly. I bnve also been much gratified at the healthy
moisture and vigor of the hair, which before was harsh and
dry, and It has ceased to come out us formerly.
Respectfully Yours, D. O 51. Rupp.
Pbop. Wood: Dear Sir—My hair commenced falling off
rome three or four years since, and continued to do so until
I became quite bald. I tried all tbe popular remedies of the
day, but to no effect; at last I wait induced to use your cel
ebrated Hair Restorative, and nm very happy to say it is
doing wonders. I have now a fine growth of young hnlr,
and cheerfully recommend its use to all rimilarly afflicted.

1 have used Prof. O. J. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and have
admired its My buir was becoming, os 1
thought, prematurely gray, but by tbe use of his Restora
tive, it bns resumed its originnl color, and, I have no doubt,
permanently so. Stdnet Brkxse,
Ex-Senator, United States.
Vincennes, Indiana, June 15th, 1853.
Prop. O. J. Wood : Dear Sir—As you are a* out to manu
facture extensively nud vend your recently discovered Hair
Restorative, I will state, fur whomsoever it may concern,
that I bare used it, and knowo others use it; that I have
for several years been in the habit of u*ing nOur Huir Re
storatives, and that I find yours vastly superior to any othcT
I know. It entirely cleanses tho head of dandruff, and
with 000 month’s proper use will restore any person’s hnlr
to the original youthful color and texture, giving it a
healthy, soft, and glossy nppn traccn, and all this without
discoloring the hands that apply it, or the dress vn which
it drops. I would, therefore, recommend Ha use to eTery
one desirous of having a fine color and texture to hair.
Respectfully yours, Wilson Kino.
