The case of Stephen Therry against JAS.
j. Connolly, which was suit by an I'M
dertaker to recover 1895 IL, the amount
of his bill for the burial of Mrs. Margaret
Killoren, was tried Tuesday before Judge
Sutherland, in New York. Mrs.sKilloren
was for many years engaged in the BUSH
ness of peddling dry goods, and had sew
eral men with teams travelling through the
country selling goods under her directions.
She had in this way accumulated about
$250000. She owned six tenement houses
in that city, and occupied apartments in
one of them with her children.
A short time before her death she sent
for Mr.. Therry, the undertaken, and in
structed him as to the manner in which
she should be buried He made his prepa-
rations accordingly, and upon her death
her executor, Mr.. Connolly, directed him
to do everything according to her wishes.
Mr.. Therry did not tell him what her in
structions were, or what the cost would
be; supposing, as he said, that the executor
was already informed upon the matter.
When the bill was presented Mr.. Connolly
was astonished at its magnitude, and re-
fused to pay it; hence this suit.
THE UNDERWRITERS BILL.
The following is the bill in detail, on
which the plaintiffs claim is founded:

The Western Grain Trade.
From the New York Standard.


The Detroit Daily Tribune says:
Eighty-seven cargoes of grain passed
this port during the week ending the
22d instant, twenty of which were by
steamer and sixty-seven by sail vessels
The amount of corn by steam craft was
295,55O bushels, and per sail vessel
1,282,3S6 bushels total, l,57S,936 bush
els. The quantity of wheat by steam
ers, 1856 bushels, and by sail, 149,863
bushels; total, 205, ,248 bushels. In ad-
dition to the foregoing, 13,025 barrels
flour, 1854 bushels oats, and IL 900
bushels rye passed per steamers. The
largest cargo by sail craft was on board
the Erastus Corning, amounting to
51,627 bushels of corn. Of the steamers
passing the Alaska had on board $4,000
bushels of corn and 300 barrels flour,
which was the largest by steam"
The trade of which the above extract
exhibits one weeks figures is rapidly
growing, as the States of Wisconsin and
Minnesota are brought under cultiva-
ton. In a very few years this great
highway of the lakes will be the outlet
of the greatest grain production on the
globe. This product should come to
New York. Here it could be conve-
niently and cheaply handled, and here
it would have the best market which
the continent could furnish. Unless
the business men of New York take
efficient steps to secure this trade, it
will surely pass to the many other sea-
ports which are industriously laboring
to secure it. Baltimore and Philadel-
phia reach for it through the canals and
railways of their States toward reports
of Lake Erie, west of Buffalo. Boston
seeks it by its railways striking Lake
Ontario at Oswego and Ogdensburg, and
Portland offers it a short railroad from
Montreal. Added to all these are the
Canadian ports of Montreal and Que
bee, where the grain may be transferred
to ocean ships, or it may even proceed
across the Atlantic in the same bottoms
into which it was laden at Duluth, Chi
cago or Milwaukee. <.a
To secure this vast and profitable
trade, New York needs to put in the
most efficient and serviceable condition
all her freighting facilities between this
city and Lakes Erie and Ontario. We
should put the Erie and Oswego canals
into such shape as to make them the
cheapest means of bringing the grain
from Buffalo or Oswego to the Atlantic
which can be found or produced, and
we should take care that all the rail
roads which are intended to connect
our metropolis with the lakes, be
quickly and thoroughly built and
equipped. If we do this the grain trade
of the Northwest-the heaviest export
trade of our country-will center in
New York. Omitting to do it will
cause this vast trade to be divided
among the other cities we have named.
ALL Tailors are not Cowards-There
is one we know of, who has many time

We married, and we sailed the main

We marched through many burning plain
We sighed for many gallant life.
But his-God kept it safe from HARM
He toiled, and dared, and earned command.
And those three stripes upon his arm

Round yonder stems his children played;

IT'S I. not they. am gone and dead.
They live; they know they feel; they see.
Their spirits light the golden shade
Beneath the giant mangO-tree.
All things, save me, are full of life;
The minaS, pluming velvet breasts;
The monkeys, in their foolish strife;
The swoOping hawks, the swinging nests;
The lizards, basking on the soil
The butterflies who sun their wings;
The bees about their household toll.
They live, they love, the blissful things.
Each tender, purple mango go-shoot,
That folds and droops so bashful down,
It lives; it sucks some hidden root;
1t rears at last a broad green crown.
It blossoms; and the children cry,
Watch when the mangO-apples fall ~
It lives: but rootless, fruitless /

Thus am dead yet cannot die:
But still within my foolish brain
There hangs a pale blue evening sky;
A furry croft; a sandy lane.
