The oyster sewn ha e commenced, for
with the lst of September the mysterious
• R once rnoreastakes its appearance in the
• games of the menthe. It is net the ease,
as BODBO imagine, that oysters have any
affinity or likipg for the eighteenth letter
• of the alphabet; nor can it be said with
any degree of. certainty that the letter
• itself has any influence upon the shell -fish,
Grave doubts have been exprosed, too, as
to the truth of the theory that' the trans-
mitted bivalvular inetinct, surviving through
countless ages of selection, governed the
choice of names for the several divisions of
the year. The theory ie one difficult
to eetablieb, and in fact 1.14s never
beeit satisfactorily proved. But however
it tria.y come to pass, whether by accident
or design, as a ceincideno or a result of an
effort on the part of the oyster.it
d
earne
itself with the polar year, certain t lflthat
the orthography of the months marks the
• period in which the oyster is a fox food.
About the end of April or the beginning of
May the shell -Ash develops its spawn, or
spatt,"-as the oystermen cell it, and by
the end of August this has all been got rid
01 and the fish; baying no purely personal
business on land, if ready to objectively
attend to that of °there. People are
divided in their opinions as to the
healthfulness of the oyster during the
close seasoa. Few people have any very
definite idea of the oyster trade. In
fact, it -is extremely difficult- to conyey
eaoh an idea to them, It is comparatively
easy to say that the city of New York alone
oonsumes from 10,000,000 to, Ammo() of
byetere • per day, but when that is said,
• which one among us is very much the wiser?
Let 11/3 suppose that the average oyster is
four inches lona, an inch and a 'half thick
and two' inoliee wide. We then get twelve
eubio inches in that oyster. New let us
euppose that , New Yotlas supply for one
day was piled up in the form of a cube,
there would be in it 180,000,000 of oubio
limbo or 109,375 cubic feet. If we add.te
this the !supplies of other cities and those
• sent away, some idea may be obtained of
the literally enormous trade which goes on
inatheee shell fish. 'The 'western buoiness
has grown in" late years to be extremely
laige. Thousands upon thousands of barrels.
are sent away every•morttla and the supply
then la scazeela equal to the demand.
Awl thie reference to the export trade
brings us naturallyao the question of hew
long oysters will keep. Upon this .point
there is a good deal of miseenceptionin the
minds of the people geperally. Healthy
oysters kept in a coca place willremaiu fat
for months.. They seem to feecl upon the•
oyster liver, as it is called, In order to
keep them, however, it is • necessary that
the place be, cool :and the tempetatare.
remain as nearly as. possible the same.
Sudden changes, either to colder beat, aro
fatal to the fish: A good Metal:lee of the
length of time they will remain -fresh is
found in the eastout otthe Albany dealers.
The freight on a barrel of oysters to that
city is, from New York, 25 cents by water
• and 75 by rail. In • order to save the 50
cents the Albany dealers secure their sup-
ply fot the minter.inet hefn:re
navigation and keep them in their eella,ra ;
nor do they find any bad effecteupon the oys.
tent Oysters keit this way are not fed aoyi
as they usetato be, with meal and Water,
and the dealers have. found that no change
• in the condition el the fith on be noticed.

the business considet it a vain thing:

It is not anticipated that the Price of
agnate this year will be very anuch in
excess of that of laid. In facia the dealers
are very raw:shin hopes that the wholesale
prices will .be. rather lower. • Last winter,
the extraordinary severity of the season

The British l'ostmaster-General in his
recent report to Parliament says: A letter
Containing a.21,000 °hems°, which should
have been pc:listed in Lombard street on the
18th of January, was found on the 24th in

The letter,which had never passed through

sender. pliring the Christmas week more.
than lla millione of letters and packets,
over and above the ordinary contagion.
&ince, and four tons of extra registered
letters, represepting a total postage of
peftorly 258,000, passed through the central
office.
Over 5,800,000 letters were dealt with in
• the Returned Letter Office, 475,000 •of
which it was found impossible to deliver or
return. One contained a bank -note for
2100, still unclaimed, and attached to the
• sealof another was a sovereign, which was
returned to the owner, who had forgotten
to remove it. In addition to the letters
about .500,000 of post -cards, 4,000,000 of
•book packets and 400,000 newspapers found
their way to the same office. More than
27,000 letters, an increase of 3,000 over last
year, were posted without any address
whatever, 5,000 furnished no olue to the
.name of the sender, and "1,840 contained
articles of value to the amount of nearly
5,000. The use of two 'fragile
covers ocoasiened the esoape of some
80,000 sniffles, and no doubt
entailed much ' disappointment. The
habit of transmitting animal and perishable
matter, reich as fish, sausages 7 birds to be

vails. The return'of a letter, posted with-

marital adventure. Stenton, who is only
18 years old, is employed by Cross dc.A.ustin,

They danced together half.as. dozen times,

beer during the evening. At 11,30 o'clock
the three started to go borne. They were
all in a iolly mood, and when they reached
Schaefer's saloon, at the foot of Broadway,
they all had more beer, After leaving the
saloon Eva asked McCann to marry

to find a mMister. She 'thought
otherwise, and Stanton chimed in,

that he Would marry her if McCann didn't,

would never be beid by any soh

wife, The whole thiog, he alleges,
