AH this week we hare been under the shadow of that terrible comet's tail, and aklel jge has been poured upon us from above, as if the very heavens had grown indignant at the filth condition of our fe ver breeding streets, and taken upon them selves the duties of the commissioner. We have had at least two days of winter weath er. This has at least been good for the grass, however it may affect the root crops, which must have had an unhealthy time of it lying between soaked blankets for a week. - j Business, which was dull enough before, has languished still further under these sombre influences. Everybody is waiting for the 1st of July. Then the new tariff comes into effect, the bonded warehouses disgorge immense quantities of the prod ucts of all nation's industry, and there will be a general cheapening of goods. All bat one or two articles which are held by peculators mu3t come Jown after the 1st of July, to a greater or loss extent. Sugar is completely controlled by large houses in this market, who. hold the entire stock, 10,000 tons, now in the market, and who will not allow prices to drop from their pre sent range. If the new crop should be short, sugar may go higher, and then peo ple may take to sweetening their coffee with West India molasses, as they did in old times, "away down East" A much better plan however, would be for farmers to pay more attention to the cultivation of the sugar maple, which might be made t) yield one of the most valuable s'aples pro duced upon our soil. There is, certainly, a wide field for enterprise in this direction. Under the new tariff we look for some im provement in.manufacturing stocks which have been depressed wofully during the past season. Very few of the cotton or woolen manufacturing companies have paid any dividends for some lime ; some large and valuable mill properties have been sold at very heavy sacrifices, and there have been several failures among the cotton manufacturers. The cotton mills are worse off than before under the new tariff, but the free wool provision tends to encourage the manufacture of carpets and blankets in this country. As trade is dull, people are looking a bout for convenient summer resorts, and the hegira will soon commence if wa are not blessed with another five days storm. Some absurd Editors of city papers have been attempting to reason people out of going to Saratoga or Newport for summer recreation. One would think they had lived in the world long enough to know that nothing can long be fashionable which has not the element of absurdity in it. Of course, any rational being who has a suit of cool apartments on a shady New York avenue, .and all the comforts of life within the sound of a hand-bell, Is foolish when he stowes himself away for the summer in a seven by cine packing box of a chamber at any wa tering place ; of course, but it is fashiona ble. There is another class who pinch themselves In diet and dress for forty weeks in the year, that they may be able to 'swell' the rest of the time at the Springs or Sea-, shore. Their case is desperate ; let them alone. News is scarce. Some preparations are making by the - Empire club to give Gen. Walker a welcome when he reaches this city. A well known dry goods jobbing house which has recently built the finoat dry goods store on Broadway, next the Broadway theatre, has disposed of its new building for the sum of $500,000, which probably left a good profit for the sellers. It will not be used as a dry goods store. Property is going; up in all the great At lantic cities, and this is a healthy sign, in dicating the general prosperity of the coun try, upon which the prospects of trade de pend. The merchants are preparing for a heavy fall trade, as good crops are expect ed, both of cotton and breadstuff. The importations will be light, however, as large stocks of goods remain undisposed of. A SAD CASE. A young man recently drowned him self in New York, who, but three years ago, had $13,000 left him by his father. Seventy-five . cent were found in his pocket, he having squandered the rest in dissipation. In the history of this young man, which is also the history of hundreds and thousands before him, a sufficient inducement for fathers -to grind the fa ces of the poor, and withhold charity from the needy, in order to store up rich es for their children? Nearly alt of the greatest and best men of our coun try are those who went forth from the parental homes, to commence life with no other capital than their own indus try. They have arisen to wealth, hon or, goodness, hy their own exertions; while hundreds who started with them, laden with gold, have gone to the grave and poverty and shame. Rich men, beware how you train your chil dren. Teach them honesty, sobriety, industry; give them trades, and let them build for themselves A LOVE AFFAIR, The Rochester (N. V.) papers give accounts of two Temarkable suicides, one growing out of the other. On Tuesday last a young man named The odore M. Ganz, disappointed in love, wrote certain frantic letters to his friends, and then went ont to the railroad, laid his head deliberately down on the track, as the express train approached, and was instantly crushed to a jelly. A day or two afterwards Miss Maria llohe, the young lady who jilted Ganz, fell ill of anguish on hearing of her lover's dread ful death, and such was her mental suf fering that phisicians who were called to attend her considered her case be yond their power, and she continued to approach thp crisis of her disease very rapidly. On Thursday night her grief was violent, and she continually accus ed herself of being the murderer of Ganz, or asked if it was true that she had caused his death. Finally death came to her relief on Thursday night. We clip from our exchange the follow ing refreshing items : -" " Rev. Dr. Stevens requiring some re creation on account of his health, his con gregation recently contributed $1,800 to defray the expences of his making a trip the Holy Land. They also continue his salary of $3,000 during his absence. Dr. S. is an'Episcopal minister of Phil adelphia." ' - . " Dr. Tyng, of New York, sailed last week for Europe, his congregation voting him several months' absence and $1,500 to pay his traveling expen ces. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. The Cumberland (Md.) Civilian says; A melancholy accident happened in the western section of our county one day last week, The circumstances as we have been able to learn them" are these: Miss -Mossey was standing in the door of her father's residence, and perceiving a bird on a tree near by, call ed to her brother to brins the arm and shoot it Whilst he was in the act of doing so, and in passing his sister at the door, the gun by some unaccountable means, was discharged, the load taking effect in his sistera side, penetrating the heart. She immediately fell and expi red. DEATH RROM EATING APPLE-BUTTER. Some weeks ago we stated that a fam ily had purchased apple-butter at mar ket, and after having partaken thereof became sick. Since then three or four of this family have suffered much pain, attended with frequent moaning. Last Sunday death relieved one of the boys, John Shiding, from his- sufferings. He was in his seventh year. The mother and one or two children are still prostra ted and in a critical condition from the effects produced by this copperas apple butter, which was boiled in a copper-kettle, and left in it till cold. They are re duced to a skeleton-like appearance, moan from pain frequently, and will hardly survive.- York RepubliCau. THROtfGH BY EXPRESS.

TGENI,S OBERON HAT, , A New summer style for young- men. Genin has Tx the pleasure of calling the attention of young men to an entire new fabrio, intended specially for tbeir use, and which combines the flexibility of the sott hat, with all the lishtncss and-ventillat ng properties of the straw. The material is felt, ol the finest texture; the color a dark fawn or umber t the crown moderately low, and the brim which is wide enough to hide the face, without being toe wide to be elegant, has a leaf like turn on either bids which is peculiarly graceful. The fabric is lighter lhau a strsw hat, and tho it gives to the touch as readily as the soft hat, is so elastic that it springs back to its true shape as soon as the pressure is removed. A shower that would spoil the strsw hat does no damage to the Oberon, and in point of durability, will compare favorably with any summer style ever introduced in this coun try. The Qberon msy be termed theconnecting link between the sott and ailk hst combining the mer its of both, without the defects, teing sufficiently elegant for dress purposes.

YOUNG MEN. Especially, who have become the victlmsof Solitm t Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands ol young men of the most exalted. talents and brilliant intellect, who might otherwise have entranced lis tening Senates with the thunders of eloquence, or waked to ecstacy the living lyre, may call with fu confidence. - MARRIAGE.

A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happens that nnill-tim-ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ing till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat. diseased nose, noe'tarsl pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, progressing with frightful ra pidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in. and the victim of this awfuldisease becomes a horrid object of commi it sera tion, till death puts a period to his dreadful suf ferings, by sending him to " that bourne from whence no traveller returns." To such therefore Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve ihe most inviolable secret and, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and America hecan confidently recommends safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of this horrid dis ease. It Is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this dreadful complaint, owing totheun skilfulness of ignorant pretenders, who. hv th n of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu tion, ana eitner send trie unfortunate sufferer to en untimely grave, or else ma e the residae of life mis erable.
