and the difficulty Of finding conveyances by rv-
er increases as the season advances
Wheat finds ready sales at fall Is to Scots.
Spring IS to roc.
Corn, mostly for feed, 35c' Oats soc.
Pork, nett, $3.50. Lard &c. s...

can be had. In this market little is doing. Sew
eral of our dealers are not in the market. We
hear of sales at $3.50 gross and one lot of heavy
at 1915 The tendency is downward.
The Chicago papers of Saturday quote:

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.-On Thursday after
ternoon last about o'clock, young man nam
ed George Fessenden was accidentally killed at
the junction ofthe Michigan Southern and Chi
cago and Rock Island railroads. He was stand
ing on the steps of one of the passenger cars OF
the mail train, when his head came in contact
with switch target, throwing him from the
car and killing him instantly. Mr.. Fessenden

PRINTER HuNG HMsELF.-With feelings Of
unusual solemnity and grief we announce that
our late true, tried and faithful typographer,
Mr.. Leonard E. Cali, ended his useful existence
by hanging himself on Monday evening last
The unfortunate affair occurred at the late res
idence OF Mr.. John Athearn, in the South part
of town. No~cause can be ASHAMED for the rash
and fatal act. The young man was possessed
ofsound mind-was apparently free from care
throughout the day; in fact manifesting an un.
usual hilarity and flow of spirits.
P. s. 1t is thought by some that the young
mans unfortunate act of self-destruction was
the result ola quarrel and final separation with
an old friend of his named G. Lebacy.-Lewis-
town (IlL) Democrat.
