His. Body Found in the Ohio.

His. Body Found in the Ohio. II
From the AoundsViAI National
About 10 o'clock on Monday last, the
body Of an unknown drowned man was
discovered floating in the, Ohio river near
Kate's Rock, by couple Of boys, who,
procuring assistance, brought the body on
shore. The respectable appearance OF
the strange corpse drew good many OF
the neighbors 10 the spot. Squire Blake,
of Moundsyille, was summoned and pro-
ceeded 10 the scene and held an inquest:
The deceased was dressed In q fine suit OF
clothing, and had o very gentlemanly ap-
pearance. In his pockets we're found two
pocket books, q bank account on The
Plymouth (Mass.) Savings Bank, In which
was his name Harvey Dunham, aboutstxty
cents In money, and through ticket IRON
Baltimore TO Pittsburgh. On the right
temple was n severe bruise and also behind
the left ear was another severe brulse, US
Il struck with some heavy instrument.
He was about sixty years Of age, and had
evidently been travelling on the railroad,
but a few hours before, as the ticket found
was dated September 4th. The body
gaye no evidence Of the man coming to
Els death by drowning, and the jury
rendered q verdict that he was murdered:
A coffin was procured and decent burial
given. Nj. Blake Is endeavofing 70 find
The whereabouts Of the man by cores
pondence from the papers found on his
body, and TO disclose the case of his death.
No clue or understanding can be given to
the affair. 1t Is thought from the soiled
condition OF the clothing on one side o.
the corpse that he was killed on the river
side and thrown into the river, either at
or between Kate's Rock and Benwood.

The War and tho Markets.

The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday says;
It is very difficult to estimate the effects
on the prices Of Western products, which,
may bo expected to result from the sud
den termination Of the European war.
The Liverpool markets were badly weak.
ened to-day, wheat declining 2d@8d and
corn Cd. Tho New York markets and
our own followed suit, and the general
opinion seemed to be that prices are going
down with rush. 1tmay be so, certain
", II, as is probable, the gold premium
should dwindle away, there being appar-
emily nothing now to keep 1t upat cxtrava'
CANT figures; the consequence would pro-
badly 6e corresponding reduction In the
paper prices OF cxportable products. But
It should not be forgotten that tue war
advance was only temporary, and that
prices are now lower than they were two
months ago, ere the first note was sound
ed which called two mighty nations to the
deadly fray. The subsequent course Ol
our leading markets has shown that there
was huge misapprehenslon of the
results Of the war, and 1t may be
that events will show the present bear
feeling to be equally unfounded. There
Is one thing which bears forcibly against ~
that Is that the war has occurred at time
Of the year when the agricultural labor Of
tho two countries could be least spared.
The crops OF both the contending powers
must have suffered heavily from lack Of
hands TO gather them In, and, In addition
to this, there has been waste Of proVls'
ions among both, while the fields Of France
have been Oyerrun by q hostile force, and
much of her harvest absolutely destroy
cd, This Is the case both with grain and
grapes. The wheat harvest Of France
promised poorly at the best; ind with the
immense quantities destroyed during the
invasion, she must be In urgent need Of
breadstuffs. It Is also certain that the
full extent Of the deficiency will not be
known till the people have had time to
reflect upon Ii, after tue breathing time
has come. They have hitherto been too
much absorbed In the mortal struggle to
DO able to count up the question OF cereal
loss, and, though tho pecuniary resources
of France have been much impaired In
tho contest, her people must have bread,
which must be furnished 10 them from
abroad. There will probably be IN in
creased demand on the United States for
breadstulEs, and 1t Is moro probable now
than when we indicated 1t five or six
weeks ago, that the effect OF tho war on
prices Of breadstuffs here will be more
FELT next winter than during the autumn.
The St. Louis Democrat, copying the
foregoing, adds:
We quito agree with tho writer Of the
above article. Whether the war goes on
or ceases Immediately there is every rca'
son to expect that both France and Prus.
sia will soon be largo orderers oI
breadstufEs and provisions in America,
Ocean ftelghts will decline, and the drop
in breadstIfs and provisions which has
recently taken place admit Of FREQ exports
at paying rates We should judge

A Probable Advance in French
Wines.

The wine crop of France must have
suffered feartully. The champagne.grow.
Ing country has been overrun for several
weeks by Inc opposing forces, just at tue
time when the leaves and the young shoots
offered the most tempting food for horses,
Of which they are very fond, and the
grapes formed desirable picking for the
men. And not only will the vintage Of
1870 be found to have been partially de.
stroyGd, but there Is little doubt that the
accumulations Of previous years, in tho
cellars Of Central and Southern France,
have been laid under heavy contribution.
The result will be scarcity Of French,
wines, and may lead to q temporary diver.
sion in the direction Of the worlds sup.
ply, towards Ohio and California, as our
wBr partially dIvested the cotton supply
OF Europe from the United States to the
East Indies.-A. Louis Democrat.

know something about their county gov
ernment, which We suppose. they would
never learn through any official publica-
ton, we print elsewhere, by the courtesy
Of 3Ir. ]. P. RoaERs, the Clerk Of tho
Board Of Supervisors, what purports to
be an exhibit Of receipts and expenditures
orthe county for the year ending on the
edof Aug. It shows the receipt and dis.
buremcnt Of $74,6s419. OF the expcn.
ditures it appears $99,075, was for roads
and bridges $1s,079 for Commissioners
Of sinking fund.-" (which means, we sup
pose, that It was paid on the county debt,
Interest and principal; !; and 81, 1887, for
taxes refunded. This leaves for the ordl-
nary expenses Of tho year, $50, ,2A.19.
This exhibit shows an exact balance Of
receipts and disbursements for the year.
Yet wo find receip. Of $l5,OSs.27 called
" drafts in trausitu." Just what this
means we cannot pretend to say, but as we
find the sheriff . report Of disbursements,
which are all made by HIM, to bc just
SO, ,OSs.67 less than the amount reported
as disbursed In the supervisors exhibit,
We conclude this was put in tho latter TO
bring tho receipts up to the expenditures
certainly q very necessary proceeding
for the consistency Iof arithmetic. We
presume this &16OSS.57 represents de-
ticency, and that 1t is made up OF warrants
on an empty treasury, accepted in the
faith Of funds at future time and nego-
tiated at the banks. We understood,
however, when the levy was laid that
there was really a deficiency at tue end OF
the year amounting to $4,000, which
hadlto be provided forinthis years levy.
Il 90 this exhibit becomes stillmorc mex
pIicable. 8
In the concluding item We have a
"sinkiDg fund" of $1ss2OO. This would
be very encouraging, seeing that no debt
Is reported; but we suggest whether these
$128, 200 "HempAeld Railroad bonds out
standing" arc not debt instead Of sinking
fund. There used to be a small debt in that
shape and possibly this Is the remnant
of it.
We are not sure, therefore, after all,
that in printing this exhibit we afford our
readers much information. 1t may, how
ever, provoke curiosity and possibly sug-
gest explanation. Next TO the city
finances, which are, and we suppose ever
must remain, inscrutable and past finding
out, there seems to be no greater mystery
hereaboutS than the county finances: We
conclude in the language Of "Truthful
James,"
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that arc vain,
Tho Board of Supervisors Is about as
peculiar" as. tho "hoathen Chinec,''
"which the same we are free to main;
tain" ill the contrary Is shown.

The statements published to the effect
that tho President had instructed secre-
tary Fish to issue proclamation recognlz-
ing the Republic Of France, Is without
foundation. Not only Is 1t not the case,
but such action would be unnecessary
and irregular.
The French Minister has received q
dispatch from Jules Favre announcing the
establishment Of Republic in France and
requesting N. Berthemy TO present the
fact 10 the United States Government
Instructions have been sent to our Minis
ter In Paris 10 recognize the new govern
ment when It shall have been definitely
asccrtained that q Republic exists.
Intelligence has been received here
of the acceptance by nearly all the
towns and cities of the new state OF affairs,
and 1t Is now quito certain that within q
week tho Republic Of France will be
established by almost the unanimous con-
sent of the French people. 1t Is ascer-
tanned that the present French Embassy
will shortly be replaced, but rs yet no ap'
pointments have been made. Great re-
gret is expressed here at the fact, 1t 1t
should be such, that England should have
been allowed to recognize the new, gov.
ernment Of France before the United
States. A wonderful changein sentiment
has taken place, and many OF those who
were opposed to Napoleon now strongly
sympathize with France

s--=- CHICAGO, sept. ..
On Friday last, In St. Croix county, near
Hudson, Wis, Mrs. Lenchrue drowned her
two children, set fire to her house and
then took poison. The quantity Of poison
she took acted as an emctic,and thus saved
her life. She claims that her children
were drowned and the house set on fire
bya man who came to the house and then
ran of, and -that. she took poison under
the agony. caused by the loss Of her chill
dren. But her story isnot' believed. Mrs
L. and her husband have always lived to-
gether happily and she appeared perfect
" sane. The reason for the deed, there
fore, remains mystery.
