f~gT The Lancaster Is. C.) Ledger gives
the following account Of the teath OF Mrs.
Cunning ham, of Liberty Hill:
Itappears that on Sunday night, Mrs. Cum
ningham, apparently as well as usual, gave
directions that certain negro man should
waiiu upon her in the morning ior the purpose
of receiving inslru ctlons relative to his work;
that Mrs. c. retired as usual, and on blon
day morning, when the negro called, she was
sent for, but was not in her chamber. Search
was made Immediately for her, and painful to
relate, she was found suspended TO limb OF a
peach tree in the garden, quite dead. Whether
The awful act was committed by herself or
others is not kuown. Two negro women, to
whom some suspicion is attached, have been
placed in Jail for examination.

A FACT FOR GIDDINGs. HALE g. Co.-Mrs
Stowe may write, and Giddings, Hale & Co.,
may preach until doomsday, but one little fact
that has come to our knowledge, casts to the
winds all they cun say on the subject, on
which they discourse SO ignorantly. On Sat
urday last gentleman of Alabama arrived in
this city from Baltimore, having with him a
negro, who had run away from dis plantation
sometime since, and whom he had recovered
under the following circumstances. Standing
one morning recently in front of the Hotel al
which he was soournng at Baltimore, he was
accoSted by half starved and pitiable looking
negro, whom he presently recognized as the
fugitive from his estate. Asking him what he
wanted, he stated that he had been residing in
Canada, and afer having suffered innumerabls
hardships, he had determined to retrace bis
Steps and return to the home he had abrupt.
ly quilted, and had gol so fur when providen
tally he found his master, and now entreated
him to take him back with him. The warm
hearted Planter at once consented, fed and
clothed him, aud the negro passed through this
city with him as cOntented and happy NOR
tai as any on earth. He has learned lesson
he will never forget, and affords u practical
commentary On the insanity of those who
would interfere with d condition OF things, the

known 10 them.-C Charleston Courier.

THEY'RE NOT Enthusiastically once told
US capital anecdote of Sheridan, which, never
having been in print, we desire to preserve. 1t
reads thus:
A certain wealthy nobleman invited the dra-
maiist to visit him, uring the shooting season,
al his country-seat. Sheridan went; but be-
ing no sportsman, found il rather dull work.
AT length, finding himself one day left alone,
he concluded to tBke gun land ixngs) and
try his luck. An attentive game-keeper prof
fered his services as attendant, which were
peremptarily declined. determined that his
want of skill should not be made the subject
of remark in the servants hall. The result
Of his tramp mig hl be anticipated, and he found
himself returning homeward without even
feather for trophy. convinced of one OF two
things, toswit: either that the gun was IA
very poor one, or that he did not understand
its use.

large flock of geese, ducks, hens, etc.. he no.

ing their gambols; and was seized with an If
resistible desire to Try his skill upon the feaih-
cred objects of his attention. Accordingly. he
marched up TO "Hodge,' who seemed quite
Indifferent 10 his approach, and thus accosted
him:
"My friend, what shall give you for per-
mission to discharge both barrels into the
midst OF that tl0ck?'

COMMERCIAL MArrERs.-The following
extract from an article in the New York
Times, will be read with interest:
BY the arrival OF the steamer Atlantic the
accounts of the British harvest and of The
British and Continental Grain Markets, are
more interesting 10 this country than usual
They go far to confirm previons intimations of
doubtful and untavurable weather in portions
OF the agricultural districts of Eng land, and of
the prevalence ofthe poiatoe disease, both in
Englan and Ireland. They also throw much
doubt on the result of The grain harvest of
France, from which Eng land last year derived
very important supplies of cheap wheat and
Hour, TO the exclusion, in measure, owing to
the low figures ut which they were offered,
OF shipments from the United States, and to
the prejudice, at The Time, OF the Engli lish agri>
cultural and milling interest.
The effect of these accounts was partially
anticipated in our markets last week, as private
parties, connected bv mercantile dealings with
the other side, were in possession OF more de-
cldeG evidences OF the probable turn OF the har-
vest and market prospects than were indicated
by the published accounts. They bought
largely and freely OF both Wheat and Flour,
aud up to Saturday, an advance offull % cents
the bushel on The former, and 30 cents the bar
rel on the latter had been Standardization
Corn also participating in the improvement
The Foreign quotations that come to US by
the Atlantic, accompanied, as they no doubt
will be, by considerable orders, will probably
further stimulate prices. An advance of Sd. to
4d. on Wheat, and OF one shilling to lSd. ster-
ling on Flour, is noted by the Liverpool Cous
rier, of the llth instant, the day the steamer
sailed.
