CITY MARkET.

An effort Was made, few years ago, 10
establish city market in this city, but It
failed through faulty organization and mis-
management on the part Of those hsying
the work ia hand. Since that time, The
people Of the city have bssa obliged to -.
cspt Of such msaeer acesmmsdations -
the shops, groceries and provision stores Or
the streets could sGord. Bot the people
have suffered much less than the gardeners
and fruit growers in this vicinity. There
being no regular nsskst, market hours,
nor market days. they have been obliged,
when having produce for sale, to bring It in
and sell at the purchasers own price, usual
" at q reduction of from ons-third to one
hall the retail price and often even lower.
So keenly is this felt. and 80 improbable
has gardening become, that many Of cur
best gardeners have sisniasd their intsn-
ton Of discontinuing the business and dis
posing Of their lands or converting them to
some other use.
II 10 now proposed to petition to ths'city
council at their next meeting for psrmis.
sion to establish regular market for the
city. which shall be under the direction
Of proper managers and conduct
cd for the best interests Of the
consumer and producer. A stock com
pany is to be formed for the purpcss. ssd
several Of our prominent citizens, beth in
and out Of the city, have expressed their
willingness to subscribe literally. believing
that the enterprise can hs made succsssful
and profitable. This company will rent or
purchase grounds in some eonvenient and
proper locality. and erect suitable build
ings thereon, dividing them into different
apartmsnts for the varieus kinds Of pro-
dues. and rent these stalls to the producer
direct, who. having stated days and hours
for the sale Of his articlss, can sell directly
to the consumer. thus saving the large dis.
count which be now Loses BY being obliged
to sell to the retailer. In this way, with
proper management. the producer will r.
ceivs higher price for his articles, while
the consumer will obtain what be desires
fresh from the garden, and 1t lower rates
The utility Of such an arrangement, and ito
advantages to the city ere 90 obvious, that
our citizens, It seems to 10, wall consul,
their own convsnisncs and interests By
giving to it their cordial support.

A CLERGYMAN STRUCK WITH ,PAalIYsrs
DURING SE.vrcE.-On Sunday morning.
while Rev. Dr.. Lundy, assistant miaister
Of st. Paups church Of this city, was ora.
ciating In the services Of that church. he
was stricken down by paralysis. The SER
wee had been unusually long and exhaust
ing, the sermon occupying some forty
minutes, and the Doctor, while in the act
OF receiving the plates after the collection,
was observed to waver in his steps and to
grasp at some object for support. His son
and several others, members of the con-
gregation, ran to assist him, and on reach
ing him found that he was helpless, speech
less, and unconscious. Several doctors,
who were of the congregation, did every
thing that lay in their power for his relief,
but were unsuccessful in restoring him to
consciousness. He was taken, early in the
afternoon, In carriage to his boarding
place, Mr.. G. G. Thomson's, in Chambers
street, and ne understand has not yet been
restored to consciousness. One side is
found to be completely parslyzed, and his
medical attendants, Drs. Church, Montfort,
and Mckay, entertain fears that he will not
recover. - Nesoourgh IN. ~ journal,

A COSTLY PRoSECUTIoN.-Int the town
of East Canaan, N. E., in 1865, lived a
young man twenty-three years of age who
strongly objected to being taxed, pro-
Tossing mis- inability to earn the funds he
would need to meet the assessment. The
people of the town generally considered
that with o little more expenditure of en-
terprise he might pay his just taxes. The
assessors came to the same conclusion, and
be was taxed three dollars. This sum he
refused to pay, and, on the authority of the
selectmen, was lodged in Haverhill Jail
until he could make up his mind to pay
the bill. He remained obstinate and in
Jail until the next March meeting, when
the selectmen, unwilling longer to take the
responsibility of his imprisonment, re-
ferred the matter to the town, who, by 8
large majority, voted to postpone his libe-
ration until he should pay his taxes. An
other year rolled round, and still the pri-
soner remained firm in his opposition, and
safe in jail. A third year passed away,
with no change in his earthly prospect,
and last March the town duly considered
the case, and with but one dissenting voice
voted to restore the young man to society
again, having become thoroughly con-
vinced that the costs Of collection were
outweighing many fold the original tax.
That this was reasonable conclusion is
apparent from the fact that the town, by
keeping this young man in the county
house three years for non-payment of a
tax of So, had incurred an expense of $500
On the other hand, the young man had lost
three years of valuable time and the op-
portunity of voting for Sinclair-all for the
moderate sum of So. Surely an unfortu-
nate affair for both parties.

GENERAL GRANT HAS ISSUED NO ORDER
CONCERNING THE KuKLux KHAN.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.-The re.
port that General Grant has, issued an Or
der to the military commanders in the
southern States directing them to suppress
the organization known as the "Kuklux
Khan" is without any foundation, as no
action upon that subject has been had thus
far by General Grant.

THE KUKLUx scARE--RADIcAL LEADERS
CONFER WITH STANTON.
A conference of several Radical leaders
with Mr.. Stanton took place to-day at the
War Department relative to- the organiza-
ton known as the Kuklux Klan." The
exaggerated stories set afoat here within
the past few days Of the alleged hume
rous threatening missives sent by the Khan
to Messrs. Wade, Butler, and other con-
gressmen, has worked upon the fears Of
timid men, and caused the conference to-
day to take steps to prevent the execution
Of the threats and ferret out the Ku-
klux by employment of detectives. After
industrious inquiry among those who are
reported to have received the bugaboo
warnings, it is found that the stories pub
lished are extravagant alarms, based upon
the receipt Of pretended or real Kuklux
notifications by three several persons (Mr.
Wade among them), each having received
just one missive and it further appears
that these pleasant epistles were received
about the LIST instant. The inference,
therefore, is that they were merely pre-
pared as April-fool jokes by some one,
who is now enjoying the fun hugely.
