SECOND BOARD,
sATrRDAY. July 29-P. NJ.

The week closes upon quiet markets mt the
Stock Exchange the railway shares being devoid OF spec
ulative life or animation The features are much the
same as yesterday and feature worthy Of special
comment has been remarked. There il nothing oDcour
aging in the speculative outlook, and although the
market is strong and prices have advanced on the prom
nent stocks, yet IL is apparently more the result of
clique purchases support the favores after the lack
OF enthusiasm Lake Shore, than the accession 0
new buyers to the street. The business, however has
been restricted. The most active stocks dealt In were
New-York Central, North Western shares, -. Paul
Rock Island, and Wabash. The HANNIBAL ana
ST. Joseph shares were higher. Boston Hartford ana
Erie sold p Panama, 510jI4; c. c. J. c. lS3; Hi
nois Central 1872 and Delaware Lackawanna and West
ern 1Oes In the miscellaneous list, both Western Union
Telegraph and Pacific Mail strong and advanced
on fair business The coal stocks were dull and neg
ected while in Express shares Adams moved mp to 81
and American to 81 Wcs-Farg0 scrip selling at p. The
dealings were not kept up the sidewalk to very late
hour and much before the usual time the street was de-
serted and the final wndup scarcely enough business
was doing to establish quotations The following table

A WILD lRIsHMAN.- An Irishman
who had been in the employ of Mr..
Harry McCune, near Wcntzville, for
some time past, took a crazy fit last Sat.
urday and beat fellow. la borer until the
physicians think he will hardly recover.
He went to Wentzville then and forti-
fed himself in Mr.. Michels stable,
throwing up a breastwork Of bay around
him, and armlng himself with an axe and
o pitchfork. From this strong hold he
deGed the town, and when close pressed
by some Of the citizens made despera'e e
lunges with his pitchfork, wounding two
or three slightly. They finally knocked
some boards off the end Of the stable
and Mr.. Charly Grantham stationed him
self on the roof with lasso, intending
to catch the pitchfork if he attempted to
throw it at any ono. Seeing the opening
the Irishman made for it himself, and
plunged out head formost. Mr.. Grantham
lassoed him around the neck and jcrked
him up so that he fell on his feet instead
of his head. He was then secured and
his hands tied behind him. In this con
dition he was conducted to stable bc.
longing to Mr., Harry McRoberts, where
he said he had left soms clothes. When
they entered the lot hc broke loose from
his captors and ran and jumped into q
we'll near the stable. The we'll was about
fifteen feet deep, but had very little
water in it. The man tried to drown
himself by holding his head under the
water, but whenever he would get out oil
breath he would raise his head up, and
then dive under ngain like duck. The
citizens fshed him out, and on Monday
evening party Of them brought him to
St. Charles and lodged him in the jail

There were marks of violence on the
head, consisting Of two or three cuts

breast were also wounds which appeared
to have been caused by something beside
