Kitchen Brothers Monthly Wool
Circular.

Since our report of June 4, a light
business has been done in wool. We re.
duce our quotations but, in absence OF
transactions they are for the most part
nominal. For the past few days there
has been rather more tone to the mark
ct, and feeling exists that prices have
reached their lowest point.
BY the new tariff the duty on wool,
and the manufactures Of wool, is re-
dueed ten per cent, to take effect on
the first day Of August next. Sheep
skins will without doubt be entitled to a
similar reduction of ten per cent The
discriminating duty of ten per cent on
produce of countries east of the Cape
of Good Hope is repealed on wool, raw
cotton and raw silk, from the first day
of October next.
Domestic Clip-There has been very
little doing in fleece and pulled wool,
and prices are still further depressed.
For the new clip, the views of growers
are about 5@10c above the views of the
buyers, the former holding for zoe.
while buyers are offering but 60c for
the best woods Fall California has been
sold in moderate quantity at the reduced
rates The spring clip is now arriving
but attracts little attention. The stock
of Texas wool continues to accumulate
there still being difference of 5@7c
in the views of holders and consumers
Foreign Clothing Wools-The bulk of
the old clip is now in from all points
and it will be nearly six months before
we begin to receive supplies from the
new. We estimate the stock in first
hands here and in Boston, at about So
L. f. ~ ~
have been li.ht, but at the present rates
all foreign woods are cheaper than the
new domestic clip can be laid down at,
and If our farmers continue firm in their
professions, we look for a more active
business in foreign stock.
The London auction sales opened on
the Goth June at decline of about a
penny per pound on closing rates for
last May sales. Later cable advices re-
port more spirit, and full recovery of
the decline above noted. The present
sales close on the 31st Of July. About
900, 200 bales are offered.
Foreign Carpet Woods - There has
been rather more inquiry for this class
of stock, but prices on most kinds have
given way. To induce large transactions
holders would be obliged to make fur
Their concession. The business done has
been light. We estimate the stock in
the first hands, here and in Boston, to
be Z, 800 bales. Our quotations are for
the most part nominal.
Noils and Hair-The market is well
supplied. Importations Of Noils have
now almost ceased, and at present rates
this description Of stock should attract
attention. We quote:
Noils--English, 60G72c cured Scotch
30@33c; Australian, 90c@S1 Russian
white, 35@40c; Russian, gray, 32@35c:
Turkey, 43@52.
Hair-Camels, 22@24c per h., cured
white calf, 20@22c white COW, 16@
1Sc; brown COW and calf, 5@6c
Sheepskins-SOme important transac-
tons have taken place at reduced figures.
There is, however, no spirit of Specula-
ton, and to make sales low rates must
be submitted to- The stock is now con-
siderably reduced-we estimate il to be
in first hands here and in Boston, 3, go
bales.

Bread and Yeast.

Strawberry shortcakes have been much
discussed Of late, and propose to ven
tilate the staff of life BY sending a recipe
for bread and the yeast for making it.
If well made no better bread need be
desired
Three quarts of sifted flour, one-half
table spoon each of butter and lard, -four
teaspoons of white sugar, two of salt,
a small cup of yeast and acarm aodter
mot hot sufficient to mould very stiff
the more it is kneaded the whittier and
more tender it grows When half risen
put in cool place where il willrise slow
y over night Let it rise in the pans
half an hour before baking. 1t is very
nice cut into breakfast rolls.

YEAsT.-Eight good sized potatoes
pared and handful of hops tied in a
bag boiled four hours in three quarts of
water. Skim out the potatoes and jam
fine, add one half cup of white sugar
and one half cup of salt, take the water
in which the potatoes were boiled and
turn upon them, thicken with a little
flour and let all come to a boil, strain
through cullender, and when cool add
two cups of yeast and let it work.

ONE-HALF the people cannot take Castor
oil from its terrible nauseating taste, and
recoil in the throat The Castoria prepared
by DR.. Pitcher is purely vegetable, per-
fectly harmless, pleasat to take, and more
affective than castor oil. 1t does not dis
tress nor grippe, but regulates the system,
and operates when all other remedies have
failed. 1t acts like magic for stomach ache,
constipation, 1latulency, Group and worms.
1t contains neither minerals, morphine
nor alcohol. Its soothing, quoting effect
produces natural sleep, aud particularly
adapts it to crying and teething children.
No article has ever met with such unqual-
flied endorsement by the physicians.
Take no more bitter pills, narcotic syT-
ups, gripping purgatives, or sickening oils.
The Castoria costs but 50 cents, and when
once tried You will never be without it.

O. Hard Story.

A couple living in Jersey City, the Jour
nal tells us, disappeared on Monday of last
week, and went to New York, abandoning
their three children, who, when found by
the neighbors, locked in a room, were nearly
starved to DEATH The first intimation that
they had cleared out was made when the
constable came to dispossess them for nom
payment.
There the children were discovered as
aforesaid, locked in room, from which
every thing of value had been taken They
were hungry and crying for food. The old

was doing her best to pacify the infant,
nine months old, and yet unweaned. This
terrible and atrocious state of things, which
shows a parental heathenness, almost un-
believable, was communicated to Poor
master Dudley, who had the three helpless
children transferred to the hospital for the
present.

Rail Road Accident.

About o'clock on last Tuesday morn
ing, the locomotive of the Cincinnati ex-
press train on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
when passing Garrett siding about twenty
five miles from Philadelphia, was thrown
from the track together with the baggage
car, and causing loss of life and property.
The accident was caused by some per-
son who removed the joint bolts and plate
from the rail on the outside of the curve,
and moved the rail six inches out of guage
wedging it in that position. The engine
and express cars were thrown down an en-
banlxment of 25 feet.
The fireman and engineer were both
killed. The former was named Charles
Kline and the latter Samuel Keller, q resi-
dent of Harrisburg. The remains of the
former were taken to the West Philadel-
phia depot. No passengers were injured.

Civil Serviea.

Nasby in one of his letters gives the fol-
lowing good hit at worthless oflicials:-"l
was in Washington in the time of lunatic
named Jencks, of Rhode Island, who, not
withstanding his experience in the House,
fancied he could get bill through it that
had common sense in it. He called it a
Civil Service bill. The principle of the bill
was so clearly right--so necessary, indeed
that supposed in my innocence, that
it would become law at once. But it did
not pass. One Representative was shocked
that any one could be SO heartless as to
propose it when intimated that the in
forests of the people demanded it, he
promptly replied, with show of much
indignation, that take away his patronage,
which this bill did, and he couldn't hold
his position at all-indeed, without it he
couldn't be re-nominated."
But" said /, 81 know of Revenue
Officer of your appointing who is as COM
plete scoundrel as ever went unhung."
"Tue," was the reply. 81 know it too
but he can carry the delegates of the third
ward of my city at any time, and without
him at my back / stand no chance what
ever"
This Representative was laboring under
the delusion that he was in Washington
solely for his own benefit. | suggested to
him that he might go out Of Congress and
go home.
"But what could do at home?" he
asked
The conundrum was too heavy for me,
and gave it up.
saw so many like him, it occurred to
me that in half the districts, at least when
ever they found a man absolutely good for
nothing, that they knew of, they elect him
to Office on theprinciple that there must
be some use for all men.

Novel Scene at the white House.

After our report of the interview Of the
Grand river Indian delegation with the
President closed on Saturday last, the
Teton-Sioux party were introduced by Cen
eral ,Cowen, Assistant Secretary of the In
terror, and council with the Great Father
took place. Medicine Bear, chief of the
Teton-Sioux, opened the Z" big talk" with a
speech very similar to the one he recently
delivered before the Secretary of the inte-
rior but before doing SO, laid his huge cal
umet on the mantel-piece, and after remov-
ing his feather head-dress, deliberately
proceeded to unshirt himself, to the no
small astonishment Of the pale faces pres
ent. After divesting himself of his neither
garment he advanced towards the President
and holding it aloft was about to put it
over the Great Fathers head when
General Cowen took hold of it, and pla-
cling it on chair, told Medicine Bear
through the interpreter that the Great Fa-
ther would not wear it just then, but would
accept ii as proof of his (Medicine Bear's)
good will 1t seems that it was Medicine
Bears war shirt, adorned, in which he had
lifted the hair Of many a hapless enemy,
and that he desired to present it to the
Great Father in token of the estimation in
which he held him as the big-chief Of the
pale faces. Among the Teton-Sioux, and
in fact among many other Indian tribes,
similar garments are highly priced, fab
ulous value being set upon them by the
wearers. General Cowen accompanied the
delegations to the depot yesterday morn
ing, and shaking each man by the hand,
bid him goodbye, They invited the Gen
eral to come up the Missouri next fall and
see them, and said they would treat him
well. In his speech at the White House,
Medicine Bear told tho President that Gen.
Cowen belonged to. him, (meaning that he
held him in great esteem,) and that his
promises to the red men had beenlfulilled.

train from this city to Edinburgh, while
running at very rapid speed. 1t came in
collision, near Kirtle Bridge, with freight

AFTER being out nearly sixty hours, the
jury in Mrs. Fairs case rendered verdict
of acquittal. Mrs. Fair. who was in Court
tainted on the announcement. The verdict
excites no surprise owing to the inferior
character of the jury, which were selected
under technicalities of law, from among
men so ignorant as not to know enough
about this notorious case to have formed
any opinion favorable or unfavorable to the
defendant.
