GIEL TO MARRi THE MAN on liRR
CnoiCE.-We have the following
particulars Of U horrible suicide
which was committed a few miles
south Of Pontiac, on the Chicago
and Alton Railroad, on Saturday
afternoon last A girl by The name
Of Lucinda North, aged about lG,
living near that place, has been for
some time keeping company with a
man whom her father opposed.
On Friday they had u quarrel over
the matter, in which her luther
whipped her and finally turned her
out of doors, aud told her if she
married the man in question he
would kill hcramd her husband.
On Saturday afternoon the engineer
Of the train going north discovered
her a short distance ahead OF the
train in the act Of throwing her
bonnet, shawl, and muG into the
ditch.
She then deliberately lay down
inside the rails, with her head on
one Of them, aud beckoned to the
engineer t0cOme on. He vas un-
able to stop the engine, and the
train passed over her, literally
grinding her TO pieces. The only
way by which she was identified
was by her hat and shawl. Our
correspondent add That she was a
nice little girl, who had worked in
his family, and left some two months
ago with the intention Of being
married In JanuaER.-lPeOria (Ill)

WEEKLY COMMERCIAL AND
FINANCIAL REVIEW.

-
OFFICE or THE vloEaauaa HERALD,
March 10. 1870.
The transactions IN cotton ara
not large and the general buslneas
Of the week has been comparative
" light for this season. The de.
cline In gold makes matters ksneF.
ally unsettled We can quote mid
ding cotton at this point Il 90a2le,
which with the decline in gold Is
we consider q fair price.
We extract as follows from the
report OF the Cincinnati CONNER
cial:
The advance in gold had a bright.
ening influence on some branches
Of business, yet there was no
awakening Of q speculative feel
ing.
The Produce market remains
very nearly as il was.
Flour is without change In price.
and only in very moderate de.
mand.
Corn was in light offering. and!
with a steady demand, became still
tirmer, so that quotations nrc now
given at 7GS77c for such "a may
rank as merchantable, and T6@S0e
for shipping stock. Strictly prime
% very scarce, aud would probably
bring $50.
The Provision market was very
decidedly improved to-day, not so.
much by what was done as by the
reflection OF the better condition
Of the other markets-inAuenced,
doubtless, by the advance In gold.
Orders at the quotations lately cur
rent were numerous, but they
could not be filed without advanc.
ing figures.
Mess pork was sold at 500 for
country packed aud 500 50 for city.
II is now very firm at these figures
and held In reserve.
Bulk shoulders were in good re.
guest at 0l%c, and would have
brought o. C, to q moderate extent,
but 90 aud l0c were asked. Sides:
were want'd at l3@l3JSc, and lie
for rib, clear rib, and clear, but &c
more became the ruling demand Of
those who lad them Oh the market
and they were not pressed for sale

THE FLOW Or CAPITOL To TIE
uHITEirSrATEs.
In al article on this subject the
New York Financial Chronicle
says:
The plethora OF capital in Eu,
rope has helped TO facilitate lie
supplying Of this need of capital at
home. The protracted dunncss of
trad. in England and on tho conti-
nent has rendered il difficult TO
find employment for surplus capi.
tal in business investments. Eng
lands colonial dependencies have
been almost stationary, and have
proved unable TO command any
considerable amount Of capital in
the home money market; and a
large proportion OF the savings of
the people have had to end EN-.
pIogment IN foreign Ions. A SINH.
lar condition of things too has pre-.
vailed In France aud Germany.
Another cause assisting In this
movement Of capital Is the large
immigration, which has Of late
years not Only increased in vol.
ume, but also improved In character.
So long as our Immigrants consist
ed mainly Of Irish peasants, whose
wants scarcely constituted an an.
preCiable element IN the English
markets, the loss Of population
from the United Kingdom was q
matter Of little moment to either
trade or capital in that country.
During late years, however, We
have been drawing from England
her artisans, her operators, and her
clerks, and her young aud vlgor-
QUE population. The Immigrants
from Germany also have been of a
superior class, who IN their own
country were capable o. giviDgam-
