Horrible Story of Thurman Pa
rents.

We gave the particulars some time since
of the starving of little boy in the vii
lage of Marion, near Cedar Rapids Iowa.
They were taken from the Dubuque
/ Times, which sfor obvious reasous," it
said, refrnined from publishing the names
of the parties interested. The little boy
was kept chained to a post, and when
found was starved to such point that he
had tried 10 eat the few rags upon his
back The sheriff of the county kindly
gave orders that he should not be chained,
and that he should be given enough to
eat and there the matter ended for a
time The Dubuque Times NOW gives
the closing part OF the tragedy-for there
is no mention of the arrest of the inhu.
man couple that murdered the boy-a
| follows:
! The sufferings of the unfortunate boy
are now at an end. He was suddenly
missing by those who occasionally visited
him to ascertain whether be received the
necessary amount of food and attention,
and search Immediately instituted
for the BODY, he was Supposed to be
dead, am: concealed ig soa.e unknown
spot, to avoid any DISCLOSURES as to the
manner of his death
1he parents were Questioned, but no IN
form .tion could be derived from them
Finally some IN ,rks OF suspicion were no
ticed in the dooryard OF the parents, ard
0n digging do%n a few feet the body was
found, taken up aud subjected To an cx-
animation. The body Indicated that the
sufferer had died in the greatest agony,
showing unmistakabe evidence Of star
varion; indeed. the fingers of the right
hand had been almost eaten off IN order
70 sustain life a few hours longer. We
refused IN our former article 10 give the
names OF the parents or the sufferer, but
SINCE the predictions we then made have
been verified, We withhold nothing. The

markets with large and well selected
stock of goods, adapted to the fall and

1T was stated in tile discussions at
Memphis that the eleven Southern
States would sustain a population OF
1873, $50. 900, if populated as denseiy as
Holland; 12S, ,3l3, ,9l6, if populated like
France; 262, "a. .0eO, after the density of
England, or190, ,000, 900, copying China.
Mississippi could accommodate and sus-
tain II ,000, 600 easily; Arkansas 14,000,-
600, and Texas "a, 900, 600. These asser-
tions are easily proved, startling as they
may seem. But they are very far from
covering the ground. These eleven
States are a small fraction of the whole.
All of the territory west of the Missis-
sippi, from Louisiana, Texas, New Mex
leo and California to British America
this territory that is now cut by one
great railway, and soon to be cut by
more-is really almost untouched by
population, and is roamed by Indians
and buffalo. Its climate is salubrious,
its soil is rich, its mines are various and
inexhaustible. If populated it would
pour an incalculable flood of wealth to
the east and west, and make the country
superior to all others combined. The
area is vastly in excess eff that -ofLthe
eleven Southern States, SO that the two
hundred and odd millions for whom
there is yet place and support in the
South must be greatly increased-guad-
rupled-before the Union, as the Union
is now, is fully populated.

WoOl Market.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette.


Wehave no particular change to note in the
market since our last. We hear ofconsiderable
43 TO Is.
The Harvest being nearly over, it is probable
that wool growers; generaiiy VIII now embrace
named: 43 to 45 Is certainly as high as can be
expected, or as high as the Eastern markets Will
warrant. In fsct W do not see any margin Of
profit at those prices, until an advance Ii estab-
ifshed in the Eastern markers. We extract
from the Boston Commercial Bulletin the fol-
lowing: The seles Of wool continue on q liberal
scale, but no material change in prices. The
current receipts are larger, and dealers are dis
posed to meet the market promptly for nearly
ali grades.
: Walter Brown Co.'S. circular states that the
future prospects Of wool depend mostly on the
result ofthe fall trade In woolen goods. They
have been moving more freely Of late, but with
ont improvement In prices. We have still to
contend with the fact that the importations OF
foreign woods have been much larger this yesr
than last, ana the low quotations in Europe
make 1t practicable to import woods that viii
compete favorsbly with our inner woods.
