IRAIL ROAD ACCIDENTAL terrible disaste
occurred on the Erie Railroad at Mast Hope
station, 80 miles from Port Jervis, N. Y, ear
ly Thursday morning. A passenger train ran

President Grant has issued proclamation,
designating the 3Oth of next November as the
time for the people of Mississippi to vote on
the Constitution adopted by the Convention
which met in jackson in May of last year. 1t
will be seen by the terms of the proclamation,
that the disfranchising sections emb braced in
that Constitution are to be submitted to sep
arate vote. AS in the recent election in Vir-
ginia, the freest opportunity will be afforded
for the expression of the popular will, and there
is no reason to fear that the result will be less
favorable to the interests Of the country.

DrXGoods in New YorI,

The following is the New York Independents re
view of the dry goods market last week:
Thanksgiving week was never favorable season
for dry goods, even in former days when the great
New England festival was a local holiday; but now
that it has become a national festival the week in
which it occurs is almost wholly given up to the
quiet of home enioyments. The last week was con
sequently very dull one, and sales were to very
limited extent. A much heavier business will be
done the present week. Prices are generally with
out any quOtable changes, and the market is not
overstocked with the leading fabrics of domestic
manufacture, steady scale of prices is likely to be
maintained There appears to be as little disposi-
ton to force transactions the part of the
facturers agents as there is on the part of pur-
chasers No uneasiness seems to be felt for the flu
ture and all parties willing to wait quietly the
next turn of the tide. The future of the dry goods
market will depend in great measure upon the
action of Congress, when it meets, next month, in
relation to the currency and the public debt. If it
were certainly known that no attempt would be
made to resume specie payments prematurely, the
large dealers would be more confident and enter at
once into extensive contracts for next wears bust
ness But as the first week or two will doubtless
develop the feeling of Congress- well as the in
tentions of the government, it is better to wait
a while before entering into new engagements.
In unbleached shirtings and sheetings very
small sales have been effected, and, though prices
have been rather in favor of buyers there is no es
tablished decline to be noted.
Sales of bleached shiTtings and sheetings have
been restricted in quantity, and mostly confined To
stock of standard shirtmgs in first hands is much
smaller than usual at this of the year Prices
have a yielding tendency. New York Mills sell at
dc by the agents, and Wamsuttas at 2Oc for -.
The demand for printing cloths in the gray is not
so good as has been, but holders evipce dispOs:
tion to press sales.
Prints have been less active than during the pre-
ceding week, in consequence Of tho holiday season
but prices well maintained
In other descriptions Of domestic cottons very
little is doing, and prices are without change.
Muslin Delaines ART in fair demand for small
lots and prices well sustained for all the pOpu-
lar styles.
In woolens generally there is a languid feeling
except for a few styles Of overcoatngs adapted 10
the city trade.
1.-THE demand for foreign fabrics is very much of
character with that which rules in the market for
domestic goods. A few attractive styles of the
more costly dress good, yevets, and colored silks
are In good demand for the city and nearby trade
but for common goods there is not Sufficient
market TO keep the prices. The sales at auction
are chiefly made up of brokers' invoices, and
large part OF the goods now arriving are sent to
bonded warehouses.

killing of James Roach.

We are panied to record the killing of
James Roach, on the 24th inst, near Dem
mark, in this county. 1t seems that Roach
had been to Denmark during the day, and
had become intoxicated. He was employ
ed by Neil Smith as laborer, and on his
way home was met by Mr.. Smith and dis
mounted. Smith went to Denmark, and
Roach, overeame with liquor, laid down in
fence corner nesr the roadside. After
dark Jason Woods came riding by, when a
dog that belonged to Roach, and which
was guarding him, attempted to bite
Woods, whereupon, he fred, missing the
dog, but killing Roach. 1t being dark, it
is supposed, Mr.. Woodsdid not see the un-
fortunate Roach, and doubtless fred more
at the noise made by the dog than anything
else. The ball passed through the brain
of Roach, producing instant death. It
was certainly an accident. We do not
know as Woods has been arrested, and
give the statement as above from what we
believe reliable source -JGeks0n Weekly
