SOC the barrel Of -four Cotton has been steady with
moderate sales mostly in transit the best estimates of
the crop make IL amount to about $50 900 bales.
The closing OF the active dry goods season has naturally
caused feeling Of dulness that market there has been,
however fair demand for domestic fabrics and large
arrival Of foreign goods during the week II is understood
that many Southern orders yet remain unified In groceries
there has been fair business DONE with advance
articles Sugars higher and well maintained

very quiet, without change OF price. There has been
good deal done during the past week in WOOL of which

News FROM THE TELEoRAPH FLEET.
We are gratifed to be enabled TO lay
before our readers some definite intelli-
gence with regard TO the Telegraph Fleet.
1t will be seen by our dispatches that the
vessel Alice Munroe, which arrived at
Boston yesterday, was IN company with
the Fleet, on the 9th of June. Two UNI
successful attempts had been made to sub
merge the cable. No disaster had occurred,
and confident hopes are expressed of ulti-
mate success. The weather has been
extremely %unfavorable, and on this ac-
count operations had been retarded.

The Cincinnati Gazette, Of the 10Th,

fairs in that city,
OF first class business paper there is
very little offering, for the reason that
mercantile operations are not extended
beyond the limits of individual means,
and in the majority of cases the latter
even, are not absorbed by current transac-
tons. Rates of interest range from eight
to twelve per cent. for strictly No. l to
good paper, but names upon which mon-
ey would be loaned at the inside figure
are used 10 a limited extent only. Capt.
talists are anxious to find use for their
surplus funds, but it is found impossible to
prevent an accumulation Of currency with
out lowering very materially the stand
ard by which paper is classified. This
there is no disposition to do, for notwith'
standing the abundance Of u%nproductive
money, there is a manifest unwIlllngness
to invest in securities that cannot bear the
test of a strict scrutiny.

LucIEN MuRAr.-Most Of our ci,i-
zens who have visited Bordentown, n. j.,
will recollect having had pointed out 10
them an old. fashioned house, which was
a few years ago used as a residence by
Lucien Murat, and, at the same time, as
a school for young ladies', the principal of
which was Madame Murat. This lady,
formerly Miss Frazer, an American by
birth, long labored hard to procure a sub
~sistence for herself and her worthless and
dependent husband.
We recollect once having made a visit
to the school, and there being introduced
to the son Of the illustrious Murat, and
the beautiful Pauline Bonaparte. Tho
many years have passed since then, and
Lucien Murat is the cousin of Louis Ma
poleon, who is now Prince of the Empire
of France, and his hard working wife
occupies the Elysee Bourbon at Paris,
our remembrance of him, seated on the
front porch of that small house in Borden
town, alfred in a very ragged dressing
gown, and dirty cap, smoking a common
clay pipe, and looking altogether like a
very vulgar Dutchman, cannot be oblit-
Grated by any of the grand reports which
now reach us, of "those many virtues and
mos, affable and courteous bearing, which
render him so popular in France"
Though his lot now is cast in pleasan
places, that of his wife is not so smooth
as-considering her past troubles
should be. We see by a late paper, tina
her brother, formerly a resident of New
York, and a gentleman Of wealth, fash
ion, and leisure, was arrested last week
near Baltimore, and re-comm'tted to tn,

WoNDERFUL PERFORMANCE OF THE
WISD.-Soon after the great tornado
had passed over this section uf the coun-
try, in giving accounts of its devastations
and other effects, We mention that a farm
house near Chenona, in Mclean county,
was lifted by the wind and carried three
hundred feet over the prairie without dis
tributing the dishes on the table which
had just been prepared for supper. AL
though the story was well authenticated
j! was Of such a marvellous character that
we found it, in common with others, diff
cult TO believe. While stopping at Che
mona waiting for the cars a few days
since, we had an opportunity of seeing
the house and making inquiries about the
matter, we found the story which had
been published, fully substantiated. The
house, quite a large story and a half
wooden structure. stood upon a swell of
the prairie, covered with a growth of small
shade trees, and& as surrounded with on,
houses. The family, consisting of -four
parsons, were about sitting down to their
supper when the tornado came sweeping
along. The house was lifted from it.

through the air with the family, furniture
~chimneys, supper, &c., all on board
Twice during the p%erilous passage j
struck the ground, but so lightly as to jar
only n plate from the supper table
which, was not broken in its fall. WheI
the storm had passed it was found tina
the house had been carried a distance o
about three hundred feet from its founda
tons. Nothing in it had been disturbed
not even the dishes upon the table
and when the family had recovered from
the fright, they sat down and quietly at
their supper as usual.-Psoria Transcript

self as a candidate for Councilman, from
the Counties of Washington, Sarpy, and
Burt. Mr.. Clancy has been a member of
the Legislature since the organization of
the Territory, and as a manager and work.
er, it is acknowledged that he has had no
superiors. While he has been true to his
own County, he has always been a warm
and faithful supporter of the interests of
Sarpy County, as is we'll known by our
citizens, and we presume they will not
fail to reward him on Monday next, by
giving him their support. Sarpy Comfy
having had the Joint Councilman the last
term, it is generally conceded that we are
not entitled to it this year. Washington
standing next in population to Sarpy, is
without doubt entitled to it.

A prisoner escaped from the Wiscon-
sin Penitentiary last week, in a very in
genious manner. He pretended to be
sick, and was therefore allowed the priv
ilege of walking in the yard. He then
made a sort of an image, cut the hair
from his own head, decorated the top Of
image with it, and deposited it carefully
in his bunk, and took his customary walk
in the yard At night the watch looked
into his cell and noticed him as he sup
posed, reposing quietly in his accustomed
place. The next morning when his eel
was visited he was still unmolested, anc
on account of his sickness was further
INDUCED. At noon, however, it wa'
thought about time he made some sign
and the watch proceeded to stir him up
But he wasn't there.

of our citizens are enjoying the luxury Of
green corn-the product of their gardens.
In the fields it is silking out most beautiful

by the recent wind storms which have
swept over it. That we will have an
abundant corn crop is almost certain.
