Gohpefciai Matters.
MiliersburG Market.
Cleveland Produce Market.


We have but little, if any, change to note in
the condition of the market. Buyers Of lot re-
main Invisible, and .sholders" are steady" from
the fact that there is nothing left for them to do
except to to hold on to their receipts. When
an order is received the holders set their
views little higher, and feel little better :
The order is either filed or withdrawn, and
then the market fails fiat again.
FLouR.-There is but little or nothing DONG
The sales are confined entirely TO retal lotss
which go off slowly at $6,26@S! for single to
double red wheat Extras, and SOU ior double
white wheat Extra
WHEAr-During the early part Of the week
an order for 5O05 bushels Of Red Wheat was
filed at 81 1851 80. Since then small sales
have been made al 81 .259l 81 from store. aad
one lot of prime Red from store sold at Sl IS on
Saturday. We do not think il at all probable
that ear OF Red Wheat could be put on the
market to-day and sold for over $3.50, and q
canal boat load al 1.a7t9l 80. and even al these
figures there would difficulty in finding a buy
er. Two carloads of Ohio white sold al $l40
on the track.

for moderate sized lots from store. and such par

Closing Scene at the Jail.

Just as the Oberlin Rescuers were leav-
ing their homes they stepped into the par
lor of the Jail, where were present their
Attorneys, Messrs. R. P. Spaulding, A. G.
Riddle, f. T. Backus, S. o. Griswold,
Sheriff B. L. Wright, Jailor ]. B. Smith,
H. r. Smith, who had rendered the Res
cuers repeated service, with their wives
and numerous friends, when Mr.. Plumb, in
behalf of the Prisoners, presented the la
dies for their husbands, each a beautiful
Silver Napkin Ring, Fork and Spoon, en-
graved with the initials of their husbands; !;
and "From Rescuers; Matthew %: &c."
Mr.. Plumb in brief and happy vein
said, that the prisoners though poor were
desirous of presenting to them small re-
membrancer, in token of the high regard
in which they held them, and in acknowl-
edgment of the valuable services they had
rendered them during their imprisonment.
To their Counsel for legal aid, and to the
others for services scarcely less valuable
And he wished to request their wives to
place the gift before their husbands, at
meals, three times day while they lived,
that they might at such times, when sur
rounded by their families and those dear
to them, when noble and generous feelings
were sure to come, look upon the memen-
to and remember the exciting scenes thro'
which they had just passed-that although
they were intended for their husbands, like
all other dear things they would be in the
keeping of the Ladies.
Judge Spaulding then replied in behalf
of the Ladies and others, in few eloquent
and appropriate remarks.
He said that it was certainly very cheer
ing to know that they had been of service
10 the prisoners-that they had done what
they had. without any expectation or de
sire of remuneration-but for the cause in
which the Rescuers had suffered-that
when first spoken to about defending them,
he had said he neither asked nor would
take pay for services in the case.
Mr.. S. said the memento they had so
kindly presented would be highly priced,
and left as legacy to our children. He
hoped that if ever they got into jail again
it would be for no other cause than deliver
ing the oppressed from the oppressor.
Mr.. Peck remarked that portion of the
first hour in the Jail had been spent in i'm
ploring the blessing of God, and that it
would be consonant with their feelings TO
spend the last moments in thanksgiving to
the protector and preserver of themselves
and families, and the Good Deliverer who
had been their hope and support during
The many days and nights of their confne-
nent A fervent prayer by Prof. P. closed

Higher Law Triumph.

Don't fail to read the particulars of the
triumph of the "Oberlin Rescuers," over
the U. States officials at Cleveland. It's
rich, but the funniest part of the whole
matter is, TO see how some of the friends
of the Fugitive Slave Law show their
teeth over this failure 10 have it enforced
against men whom they have learned to
hate to degree that is devilisb. They
would have Judge BELDEN removed in
stanter, so they would, brave fellows that
they are.

BlOndin,s Second Feat.

Mons. Blondon performed on his Niaga-
ra tight-rope again on the 4ih. He ran
backwards down the rope 200 feet without
his balance pole, balanced upon one foot,
extending the other and also his body over
the boiling flood, returned to the bank,
turned round, and with pole in hand start
ed rapidly across the river. When half
way, he sat down quickly, lay down on his
back, sat up, whirled himself round, and
crossed over. He returned in a sack reach-
ing down to his knees, totally depriving
him of sight and the use of his arms and
hands! Blondon don't blunder. His next
feat is to be with fireworks.

This curtailment is claimed 10 be necessary
in order to reduce the expenses OF the De-

pay about one-fourth of the postage re-
ceived, their mail facilities are being in
creased, whilst in the North they are di-
minished. Is this right!

The Position of Mr. DennisOn.

Our excellent candidate for Governor
has never warered nor changed on the
question Of slavery. E
A reference to the Journal of the Ohio
Senate during the session Of 1890,
while the Compromise measures were still
pending in Congress, will show where Mr..
Dennlson stood then. In a series of reso-
lutions introduced by him in the Senate,
February 1st, 1850, be declared in the pre-
amble as follows:
1st. That slavery should, by the positive
enactments of Congress, be forever exclud-
ed from all territories now owned, or that
may hereafter be owned by the United
States.
I'd. That it is the duty of Congress to
use all proper and Constitutional means
for the abolition of slavery 10 the District
of Columbia, at the earliest practical pc
rod. ts
Sd. That Congress should, without de-
lay, suppress and abolish, within the Dis
trict of Columbia, the slave trade in every
form in which that trade has presented or
can present itself. vo I .,f =,
4th. That no more effectual provision
ought to be made, by law, for the recap
ture restitution or delivery of escaping
slaves; and, that it is by no means clear,
that sound policy does not demand the
modification of existing laws on that sub
ject. So asi s-
In the resolutions of instruction to our
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
which follow. "they are hereby requested to
conform their acts and votes to the wishes
of the people of this Stale, as those wishes
have been defined in the foregoing pre-
amble.
That was Mr.. Dennison's position ten
years ago, and he stands now where he did
then.

WEATHER AND CRops IN ENGLAND

WEATHER AND CRoPs IN ENGLAND
A letter of late date from London, says:-
"The prospects of the grain crop are very
good. With moderate fine weather the
yield of wheat is expected to be as abund-
ant as at any period, but owing to the
length of straw it would suffer greatly from
continued rain or sudden storms. Thus
far the heat of the season has been beyond
the average, but its electrical conditions
have undergone violent changes"

School-House Struck by Lightning-Mnrvel-
Gus Escape of the Children.
A school house about mile from North
Fairfield village, Hurpu County, was struck
by lightning during a recent thunder storm,
and badly torn TO pieces. The teacher,
Miss Mary Moss, and nineteen scholars
were in the building at the time, and the
escape of all from death or injury seems a
miracle indeed. The School room was
twenty feet square, near the centre of
which stood stove with long pipe lead
ing to the chimney which was near the
west end of the room. The teachers desk
stood at the east end. Around the stove,
on three sides, were ranged the desks for
the pupils, and the room was lighted BY
two windows on each Of the North West,
and South sides. The North Fairfield
Gazette says: 80. 81 ss
"The lightning struck the top of the
chimney at the West end Of the building,
completely demolishing it, tearing down
the entire west gable end of the building
to the ceiling-siding, studding, and all
scattering the pieces for rods to tie west.
throwing numerous whole bricks, through
the siding Of east gable hundred feet IN
to the front yard, and dividing the rafters
of the roof its entire length. The electric
fluid then passed down the Stove pipe into
the school room-and here the scene pre-
sented is gloomy enough. Six windows
are completely shattered-the sash in two
of them being broken and gone, aud the
glass in all the rest being so b. dly broken
as to need new lights throughout; the
desks are loosened from thefoor, while the
floor itself is badly damaged. The cleo
tric fluid seemed to have followed the stove
pipe to the stove, and thence spentits force
in the ground underneath the building
In its passage it twisted joint of the
pipe as if paper, broke the door-fasten-
ing of the stove, shivered large stone on
which the stove stood, almost pulserized
stone on which the sleeper rested, ripped
up the floor to the width tive, feet its entire
length; then eniersd the ground making o
hole about eighteen inches deep and foot
in diameter, throwing a quantity of mud
to the ceiling and into the room above, and
raising the entire floor so that the doors
could not be opened, and teacher and
pupils bad to make their exit through the
window. And yet among all the wreck
and destruction, no one was SO much in
jured as not to make their escape out of
the house. We doubt if so singular an oc-
currence ever took place before. -s
We asked several of the scholars in re-
gard to the occurrence, but could gather lit
de OF nothing, with the exception of sta
ting that they were deafened by the noise
and were badly Frightened, know nothing
about it. -.-....-ss... ~
Since the above was written, we learn
that it is the opinion of several gentlemen
who have made an examination, that the
entire building was raised from its founda-
ton by the explosion which took place as
the electricity entered the ground.

manner in which trpe is manufactured in this city,
yesterday, at the meeting Of the Health Commits
of an ofal boiling house and slaughter house in

to the amount Of $4,000 or upwards.
We have been favored these past few days with
the most delightful weather, which has caused
quite an impulse to be given to the city trade.
Should the cool nights continue, the city would
be more desirable than the watering places,
and the pleasure seekers would soon turn their
