SAD INCIDENT OF THE HARD TIMES
A young mechanic in Newark, N. j., on
Sunday evening, was arrested for stealing
piece of meat from a butchers STALL
He said he had been without work several
weeks, and being without money or credit,
and too proud to beg, he preferred to steal
to save from starvation his family--a wife
and two children-who had been without
food since Friday morning. An investi-
CATION into the case proved the truth of
his statements, and he was released, given
the meat, and was told to come for more,
and was also presented with purse Of Sc
which was made up for him.

The exports Of Cotton to Great Britain,
from New Orleans. for the week ending
Wednesday, reached 1000 bales, an in
crease of 5000 bales over the correspon-

Mississippi is now foot inches higher
than last year.
A destructive freshet has taken place
at Albany, and large amounts of property
have been destroyed.
A shooting ARRAY occurred in the cars
near Chambersburg Pa on Tuesday, be-

Craig.
They have had immense rains in Bos-
ton. An alleged forger was arrested in
that city on Tuesday. On Monday a man,
charged with swndling, was arrested at

Northwest gale of wind and rain has pre-
vailed here for some two days. Hardly
any outdoor business could be done.-
During last night the water in the river
began to rise, and at daylight this NOR
ming all the wharves and piers were sub
merged, and all the stores upon them
flooded eighteen inches. So unexpected
was this great rise Of water that no pre-
parations We're made to receive it, conse-
quently large amounts of property on the
lower floors have been injured and con-
siderably destroyed. The river this NOR
ming was filled with floating lumber
which broke loose from the yards above,
some as far as Watervliet and Troy. The
vegetable gardens on the islands, both
above and below the city, are all covered
with water to the extent of four or five
feet, destroying immense quantities of po-
tatoes, cabbages, onions, beets, &c.
The Central Railroad is submerged in
several places along the Mohawk so deep
" that the fires We're put out in the loco
motives. The damage must 10 extensive

Andrew Kirk, brewer and one of our

New ORLEANS, Oct. 2S.-The money
market here continues without any relief,
and the crisis is worse than at any former
period Of the city's history. The Banks
are all urged to suspend as it is be-
lieved the effect would be salutary. They
will probably be compelled to do so, ere
long, in selt-defence.
The propositions brought forward on
Monday for a combination of factors not
to sell cotton under IS, We're Indignantly
rejected by the more honorable portion Of
the trade, but it is, nevertheless, believed
that another effort will be made to pass
them.
The exports of cotton to Great Britain
during the past week reached $4,000
bales, an increase of 5000 as COM
pared with the same week in SO. At
Mobile there were no exports to any for
elgn port during the week.
The Mississippi is now II feet 4 inches
below high water mark. AT the same
time last yearit stood at II feet.
The weather is quite stormy.
