BUSINESS In Dallas Is certainly all
that could be wished, If external indl-
cations DO any test. Our streets are
literally blocked up with wagons from
sunrise I'LL after dark. Main and Elm
streets, TO accommodate conveniently
the daily influx, ought each to be one
hundred and fifty feet wide, instead of
eighty These wagons bring in cot
ton, wheat, flour, hides, wool, corn,
hay, etc. They 90 out freighted with
merchandise Of all kinds, machinery,
lumber, furniture, etc.
The amount of lumber received by
rail and carried of by wagons Is
almost beyond comprehension. Add
to this enormous amount being daily
consumed In buildings in Dallas, and
some idea may be formed of the vast
ness of the trade, which is rapidly
increasing.

From the New York Trlbnne,l
A woman residing in one Of the most
p0pulous sections Of the city had an
amazing experience Of the daring
OF thieves ut noon yeslor-
day. The first floor Of No, lll Amity
street Is used as liquorstore ny Henry
Blefke, who also occupies the second
floor AZ his home. While Mrs, BlefKe
was stripping border OF tape from
piano cover In the front room
an tho second floor yesterday,
she was surprised 10 see u man
enter the roam followed by two strang'
ers. One Of the strangers quickly
advanced toward her aud grasped her
by the throat. She struggled 10 free
herself and ut once had both her arms
seized by the other men. Although
oficctually prevented from calling for
help, Mrs. Blelkeendcavored TO sum
mon assistance bystamping upon the
iioor with her feet hoping that the
bartender In the liquor saloon beneath
would benr the signal and come to her
rescue The lnlrllders perceived this
intention, and at once compelled her
To take u seat upon achalr Ono OF the
strangers then took pieces of the tnpo
mentioned and tied together Mrs.
BieflSie's hands and feet, and finally
tied her by the waist to the leg Of the
piano. The first assailant then produ-
ced bottle full OF an unknown liquid
from his pocket, and releasing his
graspupon the helpless woman's thronl
compelled her TO open her mouth and
poured some Of the liquid down her
throat. The liquid must have contal n
I'd some narcotic, InAsmnch as she
quickly became insensible and did not
regain consciousness until ten minutes
alterward.
Meantime the thieves ransacked the
drawers OF the bureau, and stole II gold
watch and two silk dresses, Diamond
earrings were also taken out of her
ears. The thieves then apparently
went into the back room and placed
their plumber In II small trunk con-
tanning other valuable dresses, doubt
less with the intention of carrying
everything away with them. Mr..
Biefke entered tho house Mt this time,
and ut once assembled TO his wife's
TOOltl. Iit lounh iitl III Niit NbIlbitioh
described, and believing that the
thieves might still be in the house
ran down stairs to his saloon to get II
pistol. Meantime the alarmed thieves
had abandoned their plumber, and flee
ing down the back stairway of the
house, had escaped into the street.
Mr.. Biefke soon returned with the pis-
tol, but only to discover that the
thieves had escaped him. The hus-
band quickly released his wife and
sought for II physician. Mrs. Biefke
was restored to consciousness, and then
related the story already narrated.
The police Of the Fifteenth Precinct
were informed of the audacious attempt
ut robbery, and although they hunted
for the thieves throughout the after
noon the search was not successful.
Mrs. Biefke described one OF the
thieves rs II man about five feet eight
inches in height, OF dark complexion,
black hair and moustache, and dressed
in dark garments.

Reduction In Dry GOOds-A Fail Of
From 30 10 40 Per Cent in Prices.

A reporter who has just visited lead
ing houses in the retail dry goods and
fancy goods trade reports that, at the
retail establishment of A. II. Stewart ~
Co., Broadway and Tenth street, the
monetary stringency has little tenden-
cy to diminish the throng of shoppers
in the various departments. Mr. Stew
art, with his usual shrewdness, seems
to have anticipated the general reduc-
ton which must come, and has
marked down the prices of stock Oh
hand AS well rs upon thai laid in since
the commencement of the crisis. 1t
was thought 1t would be some time be-
fore the market would become settled
again. Mr.. Stewart while in Europe
(now returned in excellent health, we
are glad to say, bought large quanti-
ties of goods at low rates for cash, and
these are arriving IN weekly install
ments, and are offered at rates suited
to the times, Silks, which sold few
months ago at one dollar and half
are now put upon the market at sew
enty-fve cents, and We're opened to-
day. The house foresaw the depres-
sion and put their stock in condition
to suit the times. All goods are offered
at rates far less than when the finan-
cial trouble began.-[New York En-

RADICALlsM.,

In Its death throes, continually
gasps that Democrats are selfish Of
flee seekers. They labor hard to per-
suade runobserving men that such is
the fact. lit We're true 1t would be a
just ground Of complaint and ought to
weaken any party. But we deny 1t.
Let us lock at few recent and con-
sistent facts, which, SO far as they 10,
prove the reverse to be true.
When the State Convention assem-
bled, there came from four to eight
names before 1t, presented not by
themselves, but by their friends, for
each office. The moment Judge Coke
received the requisite number of votes,
his leading opponent moved to make
his nomination unanimous, and was
cordially seconded by all the others.
When gHubbaru's name was unex-
pectedly brought forward for Lleuten-
ant Governor, as an East Texas man,
every gentleman who had had any
prominence for the Office, without
waiting for a ballot, promptly with
drew in Colonel Hubbard's favor and
voted to nominate him by acclama-
ton. $500
The same unselflsh spirit was mani
tested in regard to oil the other offices.
There was no bicketing, no yearning
for place, but a patriotic desire to dis
card self and look to Harmonious unity
In order to redeem the country. Not
a single man thought or has since
thought Of boiling.

OXFORD, Pa, October 5th., 1873.
The Fourth Annual Exhibition OF the Oxford
Agricultural Society, which closed ON Friday last,
proved TO be, like those on former occasions,
great success. The pleasant weather together
with good condition OF the roads gave people gen
erally the desire TO turn out ard spend these bright
autumnai DAYS IN sOCiAl intercourse with friends
and II! viewing the beautiful products OF the land,
the skill of the mechanic, &c.
On Wednesday, the 6TSt day OF the Fair, the
President and other members of the Society were
busily engaged in entering and placing In order
the thousands Of articles that was TO be plSced
on exhibition, which same performance Gas re-
sum0d on Thursday until near noon.
The displays Of horses, cattle, sAeep, swine and
poultry were very large and Gne. In the large
exhibition building both upstairs and down, the
displays of vegetables, fine fruits, jellies, pre-
serves, canned fruits, pickles, bread, cakes and
pies, neecle work, general tIncy work. flowers, &c,
were mag guIhcent and attractive, while the grain
aud seeds were said to be unexcelled by any for
mer exhibition. The Childrens Department also
reflected great credit upon the little ones whose
busy fingers EtrOve 10 do their part in adding To
the pleasures OF the occasion.
Friday was the last and great day, of the fair,
and the number Of visitors present was estimated
at from II 10 Is thousand. Tho sack race, the
corn n-husking match, together with the trial Of
speed among the horses and mules, gave add
iional features to the exhibition as also did the de
livrring of the annual address upon agriculture
by Thomas Baker in the iornoOn and the able and
eloquent speech upon the subject OF the " Patrons
OF HusbaLdry" by 7. A. thompson, lecturer Of
the National Grange, In the afternoon.
We should not forget to mention the trial o.
threshing machines which tooK pace on Thurs
day afternoon between the "DlamOnd State

The "Diamoud State" threshed nine dozeT

INDUSTRIAL NoTEs.-This morning, IL was
currently reported that the extensive carriage
works Of Messrs. NcLear d Kendall, were closed,
