Affective Bereavment.

Last week was noticed in this paper, the
death of a child of s. s. Schoff ESQ.,, aged a
little over two and half years. The parents
brought the child here for burial on Wednes-
day. An older child. aged nearly six years
was sick at the time, but was supposed to be
'convalescing. On the following morning af-
Ser the funeral here, the Older one died, and
was brought here for interment on Friday.
These bereavments as can we'll be imagined,
fall heavily ON Mr. and Mrs. Schoff. Mr..
Schoff will have the sympathy of large cir.

GRA1N.-Wheat in the leading markets contin-
ues somewhat depressed and prices are, even SO
near the opening of of navigation, falling to mod
crate extent. In this market wheat sells at SIS cts
to $1,12, according to grade, which averages fully
with Milwaukee prices, when we take into consid-
Grafton the quality of Milwaukee wheat.
Barley is steady and firm at $1.25@s1, 80, accor-
ding to quality.
Oats 47@4s.
Corn in the ear, $685.
OVIsIONS.-Potatoes 40; Butter ss@32; Eggs
is; Dressed hogs $l0@s11.
Green Hides, 10; Sheep Pelts 7O@s1.
Timothy Hay $12@14 The last named price for
prime lots. Fine Wild hay $40.
WOOL.-The following report on Wool is taken
from yesterdays Chicago Tribune:
R. ceived 2sOO ID; shipped .29.GlO Trade through
out the week was quiet, but under light stoke
quotations were well up Messrs. Sturges q Mac
alster. in their circular of to-day remark =
Just now, owing to the very small amount of sala.
BILE wool in the market. Many western mills are
out of wool, and will have TO stand still until new
wool comes forward. as at the best but small pro-
portion of these mills be supplied from the
present very limited resourcesof western wool deal
ers and merchants. The principal inquiry is for
coarse wool for yarn. The demand is exclusively tor
strictly coarse or fine wool, whilst the balance OF
wool held consists of grades between these.
The fresh receipts during the past week amount
to 3.74s lbs, and shipments to 65775 fs. We quote
sales OF about IS. 60Oibs mostly in small lots, al
last weeks prices. The market though quiet con
tinues very firm, and with prospect of prices
ruling lower for some time to come. With better
supply in the hands Of western merchants. we
should look for more activity in this market than
at this time last year. This crippling process
must be damaging to the manufacturing interests
of the West but it should lead manufacturers
hereafter to provide better for the future ascertain
ed and contingent wants, great good will have
ben attained.

Old Firm Dissolved.

It will be seen by our advertising columns,
that the firm of J. s. p. English has been dis.
solved. This, we believe, was the oldest firm
in this city, and probably in this part of the
State-having been entered into twenty five
years ago. The firm now dissolves, because
both of the partners have sons grown up
to manhood, and competent to do business ;
therefore the entire force is not needed in the
establishment. The Englishs have enjoyed
q reputation for fair dealing, and have in
years past transacted large business In pork
packing. By industry and attention to bust
ness, their affairs have been attended with
success.
