Apples in the West.

Few people have any idea OF the
amount of money invested in the apple
trade by the fruit merchants OF this city.
The figures given below are as nearly
correct as it is possible to get them,
owing to the fuctuation in the market,
&c. The greater part Of the apples
brought to this market are grown in
Michigan, although part have been
received from Indiana. Since the sea-
son opened $4,000 barrels have been
received, of which only $500 barrels
were from Ohio, the remainder coming
from Michigan, excepting, perhaps, l.
500 grown in Indiana. The average
cost to the dealer has been So per bar
rel, making total Of $4,000 that has
already been used this season, in this
important trade. At present there is
not a large supply on hand here, and
one of our leading dealers reports that
he has orders for 500 barrels, VIII ich be
has on hand, but is afraid to deliver, as
it is almost impossible to get them from
Michigan owing to the effect that the
horse epizootic has had upon the means
of transporting them from the orchards
to the docks. This will probably be
only a temporary lull in tho market and
will hardly affect the price. At present
dealers are selling in car lots at So %
for choice, making profit of 25 to 30
cents per barrel to pay them for hand,
ling. This, to the consumer, may look
like large profit to the dealer, but when
we take into consideration the fact that
the loss by decay and other causes is
considerable, and also figure the interest
on the money invested, they make but
fair commission.
Wisconsin apples are scarce, being so
wormy this year that they are compare
lively worthless and viii not pay fol
andling. In Ohio, apples may be pur'
chased at marvellously low prices, the
barrel being worth nearly as much as
the contents.
1t can be safely said that before the
season closes $780, will have beer
paid out by the consumers and buyer:
of Milwaukee, for this important item

The INCREASING IMMIGRATION OF
SwEpEs.-A European correspondent OF
the Finaucitr says that one OF the hrst
objects of interest to the commercial
visitor in Sweden is the outflow OF lmml-
grafton toward the United States. This
writer says he saw at Gothenburg sorns
five hundred persons of both sexes en-
bark for England, en- route for America
by the Inman and National lines. The
immigration from Sweden and Norway
is large and constantly increasing, but
by reason of its route through England,
some of it is unduly credited in our sta
tistical returns, to the latter country. AS
for the character of the emigrants, it is
all that could be desired. They are OF
the best class of peasants-pious, clean,
and hearty. There are few or no bad
characters amongst them. They emil
CRATE simply because their old country
is cold and comparatively sterile-so
rocky that large farms arc impossible,
and so undiversifed in its industrial
character that agriculture is substantially
the only resource of the poor, and agri.
culture, too, at great disadvantage Oh
climate, tools, and markets.

THE VINTAGE OF MEDoc.-The Vim
tage Of Medoc, France, was not as full
this year as the previous ones for few
seasons, nor as rich in quality. The
grapes were late in maturing and conse-
quently the operations of picking and
pressing them had to be hurried in order
to prevent them from spelling. The
vintage Of Burgundy and Medoc sells
this year for francs, when in former
times it sold for SOUS. The vines have
been blighted in exposed places by the
cold northeast winds, and some vine
yards have the appearance of having
been scourged by lightning, being
streaked in irregular, zigzag lines with
withered vines. The vintage season is O
joyous one; it is emphatically the merry.
making season in the rural districts.
After the grapes are gathered and press.
ed, the laboreIs in each vineyard are
gathered together for a repast, and af
terward give themselves up to all sorts
of innocsnt festivities, which sometimes
last for several days,

A HORRIBLE CRIME. - The grand
daughter of Sylvester Dey, residing 25
miles distant from Concord, n. H.,
mysteriously disappeared. All efforts
to ascertain a cause for her voluntary
absence were unavailing, as were also all
efforts to discover her whereabouts. In
a day or two circumstances transpired
to lead to the belief that she had been
murdered, and an old man named Frank
lin B. Evans was suspected as the MUIR
derer. The old fellow finally confessed
that he enticed the young woman into
the woods, and after outraging her COM
mltted the further crime of murder.
Having admitted his guilt he went with
the officer into the woods and pointed
out the exact spot where the murdered
girls remains were buried. They were
concealed beneath an old stump, some
brush and just sufficient earth to hide
them from the view OF q passer-by,
The body was most horribly mutilated
and there was every evidence that the
poor girl made desperate struggle fol-
chastity and life. The remains were
brought into the town and placed il
a village store, where they were
viewed by the excited citizens and the
grief-stricken parents, and then handed
over to a Coroner, who Immediately
commenced an investigation. The muir
derer is about 60 years Of age, and
most repulsive-looking man in ever!
particular. He has been a sort of al
itinerant beggar for years, but was neve
regarded as a dangerous person.

Mrs Fair doesn't appear to value her
life very highly after all the trouble
that was taken to save it and the scandal
upon the administration of law that was
caused by her continuing to live. She
agreed to pay her counsel $1,000 at the
beginning and the same amount at the
end of each of her trials. Having paid
the first instalment she repudiates the
rest of the contract and declares that
she has paid all that the services were
worth. n

Southern hero, General VIM. L. Cabell, Of
Arkansas. The General, GOA Tige, as the
boys were wont to call him. is pleasantly
and proudly remembered by many Of our
people. An earnest devotion to country
and tho possession Of q grand courage in
days when bloody strife ruled tho hour,
fixes him high in the esteem Of every true
Confederate, devotion and courage still
possessed, as amply exemplifed by the
gallant fight he made during the recent
campaign against the spoilers Of his State.
He Is here in the interest Of the Carolina
Life Insurance Co., Of Memphis, Of which
he is the General Agent for North Texas.

cause the art Of man had failed to find
