The DEPRESSION IN CorroN. The re-
duction in the price Of cotton is con-
siderable drawback to the advantages OF
an increased supply. There has been,
however, remarkable falling off recent
ly in the receipts, owing to unfavorable
weather for picking at the South. Cot
ton is now worth only about $50 per
bale; last yenr it brought $110 to $l2O per
bale at this season of the year. So that,
while our receipts for the current year
are 250, 600 bales in excess of last year,
Mt reduction of from nine to ten cents
por pound, the South will not realize by
$50, 600, 600 us much money. This must
make great difference in the financial
strength Of the cotton planting interests,
as they agree in the opinion that the
present price does not cover the cost Of
production This state of affairs must
necessarily restrict the far Southern
trade considerably, as planters will be
forced to .restrict their purchases to bare
necessities.a There ruti be little doubt
that the production Of Gotten this year
will be largelyin exo,sss 1f the worlds
demand, as we can see no evidence that
Great Britain will take us much as she
did last year, and we are almost certain
to- lone one half of the export to the con-
tinent: Mr."Wells, who has given the
most careful ttention;to this subject,
and who has the.best and most reliable
sources Of Information, says
"Coming down to particulars, We find
that the effect of tile war upon cotton
and cotton manufacture has been to ul-
most entirely stop the British export to
two of the chief European markets of
yarns and goods, the total annual export
of which for the last few years hos ieen
over 30.000,000 pounds of yarn and
los, 900, 900 yards of cloth. The export
alton of raw cotton also to the continent
of Europe from Liverpool and tho Amc
rican ports has greatly diminished, and
in place of it reverse movement has to
some extent taken place, $50. 600 bales
OF cotton in store at Havre, Franco, for
the use of French manufacturers having
been mainly re-shipped to Liverpool.
The diminished consumption of raw cot
ton on the continent for the rear, in
consequence of the war, is val iously cs-
timated at from 800, 600 to 500. 900 bulcs
Under such circumstances, with an in
crease of product in the United States
and an average crop in India, the price
of raw cotton has since mid sum mcr
steadily tended downward, occasioning
to the producers in the United States u
loss which is likely to far more thnn off
set my realized or prospective gains to
the country from any increased demand

father of tho young man who fired the
fatal shot, was on the eve of removing to
Columbia County, in this State, and in
preparation therefor had penned his cat

Jennie June and John &, SAKE.

A Saratoga correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser re-
lates the following concerning an III
terview between John G.. SAKE and ,Jen-
ME June, the fashion correspondent.
How about the remark attributed
to you by Jennie June, Mr.. SAKE, that
woman possesses neither originality,
inventive genius, nor beauty?' L asked
of the gifted author of the Golden

Il am incapable of such a remark, :"

her it would have been wholly untrue

SAKE.
"Why, by Jovel the woman did most
of the talking herself. Indeed, she

Expulsion Of a Rabbi.

Rev. Elkan Hersman, pastor of the
Fifth avenue Synagogue, in Chicago,
for some cause failed to comply with
the regulations of the synagogue re-
During all israelItes to fast strictly one
day during this week. He broke his
fast, it IS claimed, by eating ice cream,
and his congregation determined to
remove him. Saturday morning he
proceeded to officiate as usual, and
found another Rabbi occupying his
desk. An affray ensued, during
which one of the leading Off
GERS of the church seized Rabbi
Hersman, Invested him of his s1cerdotal
robes, conducted him unceremoniously
to the door, and told him to leave in
peremptory language, threatening, if
he returned to kick him into the
street Mr.. Hersman repaired to the
police headquarters and made com
plant of the outrage, but was informed
by police officer that he could do
nothing. Mr.. Hersman has occupied
his position about three months, and
he intends to prosecute for one years
salary and for an assault.

Destruction of Sheep.
From the Manitowoc Pilot.

We learn from Mr.. Julius Linstedt,
one of our patrons in Mishicott, that
the farmers iii that town have had
killed within the last five or six weeks
two hundred and twenty-slx sheep, and
they have thus far been unable to find
out what animal is doing the mischief,
as they are all killed IN one manner
and left without any tearing of the car
cass. There are no marks of violence
except small hole behind the ears,
from which the blood is sucked, and
the sheep left otherwise i'll perfect shape,
The farmers are alarmed, fearing their
entire stock will fall victims to this
strange animal. which old hunters
think must be panther; and as the
" Schuetzenverein are out to a man
hunting, we have every reason to be-
heve that some of those good marks
men will succeed in killing the brute,
whatever it proves to be. The Super
visors of the town held a meeting last
Saturday, and offered a reward for the
capture of the unknown animal. From
the nature of the wound inflicted, we
are inclined to believe 1T species of
bat, 11hyttOstOnad spectrum, or the vam-
pire bat of New Spain 1t isvery rare,
and may have escaped from some tray

Narrow Escape from Disaster.

New York passengers upon the Erie
Railroad eastern-bound lightning eX-
press from Dayton and Cleveland,
Ohio, Sunday morning, narrowly es-
capped fearful disaster When the
train had reached a point few rods
east of Shoholia, Pa, and was proceed
ing at a rate of fifteen miles an hour. II
swltchman at the intersection of the
single and double track apparently de
hberately displaced the switch, throw
ing from the track, the engine, bag
gage cars, both day cars and two new
sleeping coaches, the Gay Gould, y
and Fisk, Jr." None Of the wrecked
cars diverged more than few feet from
the rails. The point at which the run
of occurred is about eighty feet above
the surface of the Delaware river,
which flows below Fifty feet further
on, the Shohola creek, small stream,
runs under the railroad through huge
chasm fully hundred feet i'll depth
Had the train been running at a great
er rate of speed than fifteen miles per
hour all the cars must have been dash
ed to atoms, either in this deep glen
beyond, or into the Delaware river on
the left. AS it luckily tnrned out, no
person was injured, and the damage to
the running stock was slight The
shock was severe, many persons being
precipitated headlong from their berths.
The switchman, who was evidently half
asleep, was unconscious what he was
dong He declares it his belief that
the train was upon the track to which
he turned the switch lever.
