l04 cents, and lots of old brought 95a97 cents; q
cargo of Penna. old red was sold at 95 cents
To-day parcel of 1900 bushels new white Md
was sold at 100 cents. The above are the actual

at 81 cents-some held at G3 cents.

such lots as were offered, bought promptly. There
is therefore, little stock in the hands of the plan
ters' agents. Prices, although included in the

vorablc to sellers than heretofore. We continue
former quotations, viz:

The Frankfort, Ky. Commonwealth saws

Henry Clay was born April -, TIT, and con-
sequently was, at his death, on the 29th of June,
1859, seventy-fve years. two months, and seven
teen days old. By the records of the Court of APP
peals, at which we have the curiosity to look, we
find that he was admitted to practice in that
Court, Oct. 4th, 1799-almost ffty-three years
ago. He had commenced practice in the Circuit
Court one or two years before and we presume
he was, at his death, the oldest member of the
Kentucky bar. Judge Bib, who is probably the
next oldest, was admitted to the bar of the Court
of Appeals in 1902.
MIR. Clay leaves but three sons and no daugh-
ters. Only of his family, Thomas, was with
him when he died. He is the eldest, and a far
mer, residing at Lexington, near Ashland. He is
about so years old. James b. Clay, the second
son, our late Charge to Portugal, is farmer,
engaged in heavy business near st. Louis. He is
about SO. John, the youngest son, is about 80
years old, and resides at Ashland with his mother.
Mr.. Clay has had twelve children, and but three
of the number survive him. 1t is said that he has
left competency for his family.

Mr.. WILLIAM BAKER, Sr., in the 95th year

Died suddenly, on the Goth ult., in st. Mary S

fifteen years, daughter Of JOHN and GLoRvINA
HAMERsLEY, of Charles county, Md.
1t is seldom that called to mourn, in the
death of one so young, the loss of many of those
bright and rare qualities which constitute the eX-
cellence of female character; but although her
gentle worth and unassuming virtues offer an in
vitng theme, it is not the purpose of the writer of
this brief notice to indulge in studied panegyric.
The best eulogy is the heartfelt grief of wide
circle of friends. If those who were bound to her
by no ties of blood have wept over her untimely
grave, what must be the anguish of her bereaved
parents, separated in a moment from an interest
ing child and at period full of hope and pro-
mise? In such grief as theirs it would be vain to
attempt consolation. But when time, the assuager
of all our woes, shall have moderated their sor-
row, it will be soothing to reflect that in leaving
her frail earthly tenement, she has scared to a
purcr and higher sphere.

chairman of the several Committees of Award
with correct lists of all the articles to be exhibit
ed before his committee, with the names of the
exhibitors and further, to require each chairman
of the several Committees of Award to furnish
the editor of the Port Tobacco Times with cor
rect lists of the several articles exhibited before
his committee, together with the names of the ex-
hibitors SO that the editor of the Times may pub
lish the same. In this way your Committee think
the several Committees of Award would be faclli-
tated in making their decisions, the certainty of
every article intended to be exhibited receiving
the attention OF the committee whose duty it may
be to pass on its merit and above all, a record of
the extent and variety of the exhibition be fur
nished, by which the interest and improvement of
future exhibitions may be correctly ascertained.
Your Committee would further call the atten-
ton of the Society TO the complaints which have
reached their ears, of the dcpredations committed
on articles brought for exhibition during the time
thereof, and more particularly on those furnished
by the ladies. 1t is well known that much the
larger moiety Of the interest attaching to former
exhibitions was to be attributed to their skill and
industry, and hence our obligations to protect from
spoliation and Jury the fabrics of their fair hands;
and therefore your Committee propose, that the
Executive Committee be directed to employ some
suitable person to act in the capacity of police,
whose duty it shall be to watch over and protect
all articles brought for exhibition, and take all
proper care of the same and your Committee
think it would be desirable that the Executive
Committee should have authority to determine, de-
fntive y, upon the right of every article exhibited
to receive premium where any contest ARISES,
as to whether the Bylaws of the Society excludes
the same or not Your Committee Aatter them
selves that the incorporation Of the aforegoing sug
gestions among the Bylaws of the Society will
be found to promote the progress and harmony of
the same.

Cure FOR DYsENTERY.-A highly respectable
correspondent, who has read with much pain the
account of the prevalence of this distressing COM
plant in Newberry District, as published in Sa-
turday's Courier, requests the publication of the
following specific for its cure, which, though very
SIMPLE has never failed under his observation for
many years, viz: Take an equal quantity of good
sweet molasses, olive oil and good West India rum,
stir together and simmer the fire, stirring
whilst simmering until the decoction is well incor-
porated together; then take it off the fire but con-
tinue stirring until the mixture is quite cool. 1T
is then ready for boiling or use. The dose for an
adult, if the disease is very violent and system
much reduced, is one table spoonful three times a
day, morning, noon and highland if the attack
is Slight, one spoonful, taken at night, will have
the desired effect For children and young per
sons, in proportion to age for infants, tea spoon
full is sufficient. 1t is also radical cure for sum
mer complaint in children. If the disease SHOULD
be checked too suddenly, so as to occasion costive
ness, reduce the dose, and use little castor oil

THE PERUVIAN GuANo TRADE.-The recent &C

the commercial and agricultural interests The
Peruvian government now exacts bonus of $40
per ton, making its COST with other charges, when
landed in the United States, about S27 per ton-
The trade, however, is mainly monopoiized by
British company, in which, it is alleged the Charge
to this country from Peru is interested that our
The Lobos Islands, claimed to be under the iuris-
diction of Peru, though it has no settlement upon
them and affords them no protection, are said to
to abound with an excellent article of guano,

ly delivered in the United States at fair profit
