Thk Lchber BcsMEsa. We have recently
been making inquiries about the prospects of
Che lumber trade the ensuing spring. The ex
isting financial troubles must necessarily have
a depressing effect, as the eastern dealers will
fiud it difficult to raise funds, without paying
ruinous rates of discount, to pay the balances
cow due or falling due, let alone making fur
ther purchases. Another thing worthy of at
tention is, that a considerable portion of last
years' stock remains unused in the hands of
the consumers. With these facts before them,
our heavy dealers, who have heretofore been
in the habit of advancing money to pay the
expenses of making timber, &c, will be tardy
about doing so now. Indeed, one of the hea
viest dealers in the county told us that he de
signed making no advancements. It is clear
ly manifest, that when there is a general pa
ralysis of business, such as the country is now
experiencing, the lumber trade cannot escape ;
and it is equally clear that as every branch of
trade has suffered a decline in prices, it is not
at all likely that this one will be an exception,
more particularly when its relative position to
other branches of business, is taken into con
aideration. It is not surprising, therefore,
that men are timid about making advance
ments, for no one is able to foresee how they
will, to use a common phraze, "get their mo
ney back" in the spring.
If a large business is done next spring, it
cannot reasonably be expected that more cash
will be realized ffom sales than will pay the
expenses of running, if even that, and those
who have bestowed their winter's labor on it,
and undergone the hardships incident to raft
ing, will fiud themselves in a worse situation
than if only a light business were done. We
thinK. it is clearly the policy of every man to
contract his operations this season, or at least
hold back until such time as a brighter pros
pect presents itself.
It is a gratifying fact that there is enongh
grain, or nearly so, in the county, to supply
the home demand for a year to come. The
advantage to be derived from this cau be ea
sily judged when it is known that at least
S 150.000 worth of flour and produee were
brought to this county during the past sum
mer. The present years' experience has detu
onatrated satisfactorily that, with ordinary at
tention, the farms in this region can be made
productive, and wc entertain no doubt that, il
more care were bestowed on that branch of in-
dustiy, it would become not only rrmunera
five. lut profitable. We trust that the subject
ol increasing f armies operations, and cultiva
ting and improving xur lands better, will re
ei ve more consideration than it has heretofore
Rain! Rain!! Mid ! Mid ! ! During the
lot six or eight days, ram has lailen in con
siderable quantities in this region, but the
hnwcn were more like those that usually
fall in April than in November. In consc
quenceof so much rain, the ground has be
come perfectly saturated, and the roads are
unusually ui'iddy, rendering travel difficult
and disagreeable. Monday night was very
atprniy and quite a nuuiuer of trees were blown
down in different sections.

Australia, since their discovery, at $lJb,

of about one-third, according to the best sta
tistical writers, on the value of precious met
als known in 1850. Tho total value of gold
and silver in the world at the present time is
npwaidsof 2,000,000,000.

and indeed, we may say the markets general

CF"Thc Philadelphia Press is unable f o un
derstand why it is that Hon. Edward Stanley,
formerly a North Carolina Whig, should iden-

don't take a great "tendency to piety" to pre
pare any one to become a modern Democrat.

Tragedy ix Puilapelphia. On last Wed
nesday, the 4th inst.i Mr. Thomas W. Smith,
a travelling agent for De Bow's Review, en
tered the .St. Lawrence Hotel, on Chestnut
street, where he found M r. Richard Carter, a
resident of Tamaqua, and President of the
Anthracite Bank. Smith entered the front
sitting room, where Carter was sitting in con
versation with his nephew, and requested an
interview. The nephew retired, and a few
minutes after, a shot was fired, and Carter was
seen to step towards Smith, when the latter
fired again,and Carter fell forward on the floor.
Smith fired two more shots at him after he fell.
Carter died instantly without a groan. Tho
prisoner then passed into the street where he
was arrested by an officer. Smith gives as the
reason for his conduct, that he had married a
yoang female, with whom he became acquain
ted at a Seminary, and who Mr. Carter repre
sented as bis ward or adopted daughter, be
lieving her to be a virtuous woman. Four
months after they were married she was deliv
ered of a child, which he allegea is Mr. Car
ter's, in whom, claiming to be a man of honor,
and occupying a highly respectable position,
he had reposed every confidence, and having
been cruelly deceived, ho determined to be re
venged. Carter is a married man bat has no
children.
