Wool MARKzT AND PRosPEoTs o. m,
TRADE.-The Ohio State Journal state
a wool sale made at New York, Ma
I17th, Of 10000 lbs. The price Of IN
washed ranged from III cts. per poun,
and upwards. For washed, mostl,
common and one-fourth blood, the pric,,
was 304 cts. per pound. The Journa
adds:
"In this market the price at the open
ing viii range from 5 to 8 cents pc
pound less than that Of last year. Ses
sions Il Harris have already bough
about 5000 pounds at from 18 to SOC
per pound. For extra the prices rang
higher. If the season proves good TO
crops, and money becomes more plenty
the price of wool will increase proba
bly, beyond that Of last year. But thii
is mere guess work"
We are inclined to think it is CUES:
work. The wool market, without doubt
exhibits a healthy face and prices ap.
parently tend upwards; but we do moi
think present prices will be maintained
On the contrary, we should say that il
is the prevailing impression among those
who should be well informed upon the
subject, that prices must decline, mas
much as for months past, the medium
and lower grades of woolen goods have
met with a slow sale, at rates which
must nett heavy loss to the manufac-
turer-and the stock is now heavier
than at the period for many years past.
A number Of the mills at the east have
recently ceased operations, in conse-
quence of the disparity of prices, and
these facts indicate that it will not
be long before a considerable decline is
experienced.
Another fact is well worthy of men,
tion-and that is, that large amount
of the old clip is still held, and this COM
ing forward with the new, will un-
doubtedly have a tendency to depress
the market. 1t is not likely that the
speculative spirit which has heretofore
prevailed will occur this year. as most
of those engaged in those operations the
past two years, came out at the smallest
end Of the horn.
As far as we can ascertain, the sup
ply Of wool this year will be much larger
than during last season. 1t is true that
large number of the animals from
which we derive the article have died oi
disease, and the wool growers of this
State, of Western Pennsylvania, Virgil
MIA, and other states, having suffered
much loss in consequence; but it is also
certain that for this reason a far less
number than usual have been killed fol
their hide and tallow. Besides many
of the wool growers are in neeessitou'
circumstances. Owing to the scarcity
and high prices of provisions, they havt
been compelled to spend large sums fol
the purchase of necessary food, and vii
be induced to send their wool to market
earlier than usual, to replenish theil
funds.

FURTHER TROUBLE AT CHRIST CHURCH.
The disgraceful wrangling at this venera-
bic Episcopal Church on Salem street,
relative to the right of proprietorship
and official authority-which exceeds
anything of the kind on record since
the celebrated fight at st. Luke's
Church, Chelsea-still continues. On
Thursday last, Mr.. George W. Gala
more, one of the belligerent wardens,
with few others agreeing with him,
held conference in the church and
voted to close the church on Sunday,
and particularly not to allow the Rev.
VIM. 7. Smithett, the rector to oficiate.
On Saturday afternoon, accordingly,
Mr.. Callamore, and those who sup
ported him, affixed heavy locks to the
doors of the church, and stationed con-
stables to see that they were not re-
moved.
Towards evening the passers-by, see
ing the locks, naturally stopped to en-
quire the cause therof, and in a short
time very considerable concourse was
collected. The crowd in its turn, at
tracted the attention of the Rev. Mr..
Smithett, who, with his friends, as Hen
ry G. Stratton, the sexton of one party
OF the church, was in the yard adjacent
to the building, came in and proceeded
to the rear door, which he attempted to
enter. Mr.. Stratton offered to open the
door for him, but the rector, refusing to
recognize Mr.. Straton's authority,
would not allow him to do so, but pro-
ceeded to kick his way through the
panels, and made his entrance in this
manner. On Mr.. Stratton's attempting
to enter he was elected. The police
were called, but as there was no further
violence nothing was done. -Four sworn
constables are on duty at the church to
preserve order. The large paddock put
upon the front door on Saturday by one
party, on Sunday morning was wrench
ed of, probably by the other party
The rector's party remained in posses
sion at last dates. Mr.. Smithett preach
ed all day without interruption.

ANOTHER WARNING TO FRAUDuLEN

ANOTHER WARNING TO FRAUD ULENT
CLAIM AeENTs.-The Commissioner Of
Pensions has received a telegraphic dis
patch from the chief clerk, S. Cole, Esq,
at Rochester, New York, announcing
the conviction of A. B. Graham, for
frauds upon the Pension Office. He
was sentenced yesterday, by the United
States District Judge, to seven years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary. This
makes the eighteenth prosecution to
conviction and punishment since Com
missioner Waldo first assumed the re-
sponsible and trying duties of his Office.
Through the illjudged leniency of too
many of Judge Waldo's predecessors,
needy and unprincipled men in various
parts of the country, have successfully
sought to realize large sums of money
by impudently false and fraudulent
claims against the government for pen
sions and bounty lands. Too much
credit cannot be bestowed upon the
present Commissioner for the ssgacity,
firmness, and promptitude which he has
displayed in ferretting out and punish
ing these plunderers alike of the public
treasury and the honest private claimant.
As there will be no relaxation of vigi-
lence, no federation of compromise. or
concession with offenders, the country
at large may rest assured that, although
the business OF the Pension Office has,
through the bounty of successive Con-
crosses, grown to an extent which few
persons outside of the bureau have the
least conception of, Commissioner Wal
do has so systematized the public busi-
ness confided to his care, that each sep
crate case of the hundreds of thousands
of applications for bounty lands, will be
scrutinized with the same jealous care
with which merchant would scrutinize
an unexpected draft for thousands.
The prompt and summary disposition
which has been made of Graham's case,
will, no doubt, exercise wholesomely
restraining influence upon the whole
tribe of swindlers and sharpers, who
have for years and years made the Pen
sion Office a most productive field for
their plundering operations.

A SHOWER OF FRoes.--One of our
subscribers informs us that about FIVE
O'Clock yesterday morning, when in the
cars on the Hamilton and Dayton Road,
there was quite heavy shower when
near the Middletown station, at which
place the cars stopped for several min
utes. On going outside it was perceived
that the ground was completely covered
with little frogs or toads about one inch
long, which had evidently been ralned
upon the earth, and strange to say they
appeared all to be alive and kicking.

The WHEAT INSECT IN MIcHIGAN.-
We have several letters and papers be-
fore us, all concurring in giving a sad
account of the destruction of the grow.
ing crop of wheat in the counties oi
Cass, Van Buren, Allegan, st. Joseph,
Hillsdale, Calhoun, Jackson, Washte-
nav and Kalamazoo, Michigan, by the
wheat insect; we suppose the same one
that deprecated so largely last year in
several of the greatest wheat districts Of
the country. Some fields that prom
ised 95 bushels an acre three weeks ago
are utterly blighted. and in some cases
the farmers are plowing up their fields
and planting corn. This calamity has
fallen very suddenly and to many un-
expected. They hoped the winter had
killed the eggs. In the infected dis
tricts some fields of Mediterranean wheat
has as yet escaped.
The following letter from George Tai
bot of Centreville, Michigan, is dated
May %:
l see by your paper that you are an
ticipating fine crops Of wheat this year.
If other sections promise no better than
this we shall have very poor crop. /
rode yesterday about thirty miles among
the farmers, and did not see more than
one field of wheat but what was badly
damaged by the insects. Some who
three weeks ago thought they would
have twenty-five bushels to the acre,
would now like to be insured ten. Some
say they will not get their seed.

HORRIBLE DEATH.-On last Saturday
morning, while MERRITT ATKINSON was
occupied at the bleaching tub of the
lower Paper Mil, he accidentally fell in
to the boiling fluid. which scalded him
dreadfully from the feet to the waist
In falling be managed to turn his body,
and by SO doing was enabled to grasp
the edge of the tub, which prevented
him being scalded all over. He was
seen to fall BY one Of the workmen, but
ere any assistance could be rendered, or
even the tub reached, he clambered out,
and running into the Mill. fell upon the
floor and tumbled about in almost eve-
ry conceivable shape, in the most horrid
agony. 1t is said ten men could not
have held the poor fellow when he first
entered the Mill. Water was thrown
upon him, and in few moments his
garments were stripped of, and with
them the skin. Drs. MORGAN and RArH-
BURN reached the spot in few minutes
after the occurrences, with the necessary
appliances, but all was unavailing. He
fingered in the most intense suffering
until Monday morning, when death
came to his relief.
