TRIBTTE OF RESPECT.

At special meeting of White River Lodge, No. 37, F. A. M., held August 16tb, 1866, the following proceedings were had, to-wit;
 WHEREAS, It has pleased an Ail-wise crea- tor, in the exercise of his mysterious provi- denee, to suddenly cut down in the noon tide of life, and in the fullness of maturity and manhood, our worthy brother, Dr. N S.. Graves, whose untimcly death is a heavy blow upon the commercial interest of cur town-a serious loss 10 society--but it is to the tender orphans, who are by this fell stroke deprived of their only surviving parent, that this be- reavement is truly irreparable. And,
 WHEREAS, While sense of duty compells us to bow with humble submission to the will of Him, who doeth all things we'll" we feel that we would be less than human, if we failed truly to mourn the loss of one blessed with so many of the attributes, necessary to render life desirable to himself, and profitable to others. Therefore,
 Resolped, That we deeply sympathize with the lonely orphans and family of our departed Brother, and tender them our heartfelt con- dolence, commenting them to the guardian care of Him, who doth not let the sparrow fall unobseryed.
 Resolcsd, That in the death of brother Graves, our order loses worthy member, and society an urbane gentleman.
 Resolved, That we will attend tue funeral obsequies of our worthy brother, and as a Lodge, perform the rites peculiar to our order that we place the Lodge in mourning for the space of thirty days, and that our mem bers wear the usual badge of mourning,
 ResoIued, That copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of brother Graves, and that the same be published in the Citizen and Crescent.

 CorToN.-The market yesterday opened dull and heavy, with no demand and little offering A few buyers were on the market, but in most eases they were unwilling to concede to hold CTS prices, and consequently few or no sales transpired during the day. The New York dispatches still quote the market dull and un- changed, at 34@36c.
 Liverpool dates, per cable of the 1lth, re- port sales of Cotton for the week 52, 900 bales, Prices declined 3d on the week. Mddling Uplands 133d. To-day's sales 10000 bales.
 The decline in the Liverpool market and continued depression in the New York mar ket has affected our market to great extent, and prices are tending downwards; in fact, theunfavorable news from Europe has brought the market to a stand, and there will be little doing until the market regains the firmness lost during the past week. We continue our ouotafi0 gS nnminal.

An Errant and an ErrIng Scamp.

Frnm the Springfield Clll.J Register, May Is.
A few days since, a fellow of genteel ap-
pearance and department and claiming to be
vile, IN this state, appeared in the respecta-
bic neighborhood of Chaplin, Morgan county.
He gave his name as Henry G. Terry, was
about thirty-ive years of age, of fair COM
plexion, dark hair, blue eyes, about five feet
ten inches high, and widOwer. His man
ners were ingratiating and his speech fluent
and pleasant Said he had just bought q
farm in Missouri, and came over to see his
uncle and look up partner for life. Of
course 80 agreeable and respectfully connec-
ted gentleman could not fail to be we'll re-
ceived. He paid 'assiduous attentions to a
widow lady of Chaplin, whom he referred to
Judge Terry. He also exhibited check for
100000 on the bank of n. Ii. Ridgsly i
Co, bankers of this city. Among other rep
RESERVATIONS, he said he had been colonel
10 the 9th Virginia volunteers, was an odd
fellow, a mason, and methodist preacher
After partaking of the inequalities of that
vicinity, and making big show, he departed
last week for parts unknown, forgetting to
leave either lock of his hair, his place of
destination, the heart of the lady he had
stolen. or pay for bread and butter and other
necessaries partaken. Ii is said he designed
visiting Springfield to purchase a car load of
blooded stock for his farm. The bloody ras
cal stole O masonic pin from O conhdlng
brother, and if he comes here tor blooded
stock or anything else, we wish to put our
people on the lookout for him

OH DISCOVERED IN ZUMA-Oil has been
discovered on the farm of A. f. Russell, in
Zuma Centre, about midway between Rock
River and the Mississippi, and on other lands
in that region. We have been shown q bot.
tie of it in crude state as it was gathered
from the surface of a spring. The specimens
obtained are pronounced to contain about IS
par cent. of Kerosene, and of a remarkable
purity. Springs are said to abound in that
locality, and many of them are impregnatsd
with the precious oil.
The Rock River Oil and Mining Company.
which is operating at Buffalo, in Iowa, is al
ready in the field of the new prospects and
has leased between two and three thousand
acres OF land in the vicinity. They have
purchased a steam engrue and will immedi,

operating at Buffalo, will have charge of the
works.

in this new enterprise which seems TO prom
ise wealth to those who own II, can call on

there is large source of petroleum some
