STRANGE Expects OF A RA1NFALL.-

STRANGE EFFECTS OF A RAINFALL
On the Oath of July (the day Of the great
food in the Patapsco Valley the falling
rain gave strange evidence of its power
full effect. Near Gilliss's Falls, about a
mile from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
west Of Woodbine, the falling rain beat out
two cavities, about twenty feet apart, each
about fifty feet in diameter and FIVE feet
deep, on the slope of hill of q probable de-
cline of forty degrees four hundred and fifty
feet from the creekand ninety feet above the
bed Of the falls. Twenty trees, from six to
twelve inches in diameter, were uprooted
and washed off, some of them to distance
of sixty feet from the cavities, while the
trees all around are covered with mud up
to ten feet from the ground, although they
were not otherwise disturbed.
These remarkable proofs Of the power of
falling rain are on the farm of Mr.. George
Buckingham, near Woodbine, where those
interested in such matters can see and
Judge for themselves.
These holes seem to indicate the fall of
contiguous masses of water, and 20 some
distance towards proving the reality of 80
called cloud-bursts. Perhaps this was not
the only point where such phenomenon
occurred on that fatal morning; but either
the spots have not been discovered as yet,
or the water fell on solid rock, which would
show the effect only to ell-practiced eye.

DRY GooDs.-The dry goods market for
the past week has been languid, unsettled,
and unsatisfactory. 10.
Domestic cotton goods have been very
quiet, and no material changes since last
week are to be noted. The transactions IN
brown goods have been very limited, and
prices remain steady. Bleached shirtings
and sheetings are not usually in active de-
mand ct this season of the year, and they
are less 80 than usual now; but prices are
unchanged.
Prints have been reduced about half cent
a yard for Spragues and Dunnels /; but new
STYLES adapted to the season maintain full
prices, though the demand is but moderate.
Woollens of all kinds are inactive, ex-
cept for very choice styles Of overcoatings
and fancy cassimeres for city trade. The
clothiers have not yet come into the market
to make purchases for their next seasons
business.
The sales of blankets and fannels are
very limited, and confined mostly to single
packages to make up assortments.
Foreign fabrics are in very moderate de-
mand, and importations during the past
fortnight have very sensibly decreased.
But there is fair demand for choice sty les
of winter goods for the city trade, such as
silks, delanes, merinos, and millinery ar
ticles. III" -.
The auction rooms have been largely sup
piled; but the competition has not been
lively, though the sales have been well
attended.
The fall in gold has had an effect to I'M
settle prices and cause hesitation among
buyers.-Neao York Independent. 3

How OUR MERCHANTS ARE RoBBED.-For
long time past complaints have been re-
ceived by various merchants of this city
from their customers in the South and West
that the goods received by them were not
those called for by the list forwarded with
the goods. In each case the merchant was
able to produce the receipt of the railroad
or steamboat company by whom the goods
were forwarded that the latter was re-
ceived in good condition. Claims were then
made upon the forwarding companies by
the losers on the ground that the theft or
exchange must have been made while the
goods were in transit, and many vexatious
lawsuits had grown out Of these claims.
The detective police of this city have ever
been of the opinion that the theft or ex-
change of goods was made in this city. A
close watch was kept, and yesterday Detec-
tives Farley and Eustace and officer Gaynor,
Of the eighth precinct, arrested cartman
named Michael Feeney, who had BEEN en-
ployed by Messrs. Alsberg & Jordan, of
No. 81 Walker street, to cart case of
ready-made clothing to one of the Savan-
nah steamers. Instead of doing 30, he
drove to the house of Samuel Leibeck, No.
143 Laurens street, and there the case was
- :.
opened, portion of the contents abstracted,
and quantity of worthless articles sub
stituted. On finding himself in custody,
Feeney confessed that for nearly two years
he had been engaged in the work Of rob-
bling the cases of goods intrusted to him to
be shipped by various merchants. Within
the last year alone the property stolssrc de- IT,.
s S.ri cd has has mounted to over $4,000
worth. and during the two years he has
been engaged, to nearly double that sum;
He also implicated TWO brothers named
Augustus and John Mckee in the theft,
and they too were arrested. All the pri-
soners were locked up at police head!quar-
tiers. Undoubtedly large number OF com
plants will be made against the prisoners
by merchants who have suffered from their
depredations.-Ne,o York Tribune, 18th.

Fidsco.-We attended last evening an
anti-consolidation meeting, which proved
to be one of the greatest humbugs of the
season. We are strict Observation-Disclosures
butw solemnly protest against the injus-
tice and discourtesy shown to General
Malone on that occasion. A voluminous
letter was read from Galloway s. Co. :, after
which Mr.. Statham's proposition to read an
answer from General Malone was voted
down. When our citizens propose to act in
a parliamentary manner we hope that their
sectional prejudices will not allow them to
treat with discourtesy the advocates Of a
hostile party"

In his inaugural address at Princeton,

"This college had had religious charac-
