quiet and steady. Collections and de-
posts are fair and the market is working
easy. Bankers are discOunting very
little paper, but are using their surplus
currency in remoEing cotton. The De

creasing its business since its reopening,

its old standard as a safe and reliable
banking house. The deposits have
steadily increased, while the old busi-

The market this morning opened firm,
with fair offerings and a good demand.
The kilograms from New York reported
that market firm, with holders asking
higher prices-middlings, l5sc. Liver
pool was steady, with uplands at SD.
The favorable advices stifened the mar.
ket here and holders were firm in their
views, and seemed unwilling to sell ex-
cept at full prices. Buyers were active
in making inquiries and seemed more
disposed to make purchases. The mar
ket generally presented healthy tone,
and the gradual advance Of prices du-
ring the past week has not only seen
maintained but further advance is an
ticipated by those who seem to be thor
oughly posted as regards the Eastern
markets. The demand was mostly for
middlings, though toward noon there
was fair inquiry for ordinary grades.
The receipts per river for three or four
days have been small. The Indictment
weather has deferred operations to a
considerable extent, Notwithstanding the
market was active this morning, with
sales of 500 bales at the following quota

NOVEL AND UNIQUE INVENTIONS Among
the inventions patented within the past few
days, and notable either for their curious
character or peculiarly useful purpose, we may
mention halt dozen, Commencing at the re-
mote West, we find California man with ia new
machine for dredging the channels of rivers to
permit the passage of vessels having a draft
deeper than that Of the water. The pronelling
screws are conical and placed at the Prov of
the boat. Immediately blow them, aud in the
same vertical plane as the cntwater is a third
screw, the rapid rotation of which cuts a sub
marine ditch in the bottom of the waterway to
allow the passage of the keel. A protector
from Down East Connecticut has new window
for churches and other edi6ces, which he pro-
poses to substitute for stained glass. His ralleg-
ed improvement consists 10 cOlOred linen
fabric placed between two plates OF ordinary
plate glass From the South Missouri man
proclalms method of heating railway cars by
hot air'drawo through sheet metal chamber
with stove in the centre, and distributed
through the cars by pipes, the vitiatcd air in
the car being expelled thereby through cowl
on the roof. In the North, most apropos to
the time,a New Yorker provides machine for
making postal cards, 10 which the latter are
cut from a sheet of paper fed unrcmlttingly to
4 pair of shears, and then passed TO cumming
mechanism, which fits them with q flap uu-
known to the cards just issued with Govern
ment sanction.

STRANGE MALADY. There is family nam
ed Coleman, on Cabin Creek at the mouth Of
Ten Mile, who are afflicted in a most remarka-
ble manner Samuel Coleman, head Of the
family who is from the east, is now over egh-
ty-years of age. He has three sons, at home,
and two of these have been iu bed twenty aud
fifteen years, respectively! The affection or
disease from which they suffer is not visible,
but it's effect is to completely PROSTATE their
physical powers.
Richard, the Oldest son is DOW forty-6ve years
Of age, and the last twenty OF these he has
spent on his back in bed. The second sou,
Noah, is the other subject of the terrible all
ment. Both were spIendidly built young men,
and their remarkable physique Of former years
renders the mystery still more complete !
A young sou who is now about twenty-five,
is living, and he, in conjuction with his aged
mother, is striving to support his unfortunate
family, his father being helpless with age. An
affection of the spine is thought by physicians
to be the cause of the prostration, but the
cases, nevertheless, have not been satisfactori-
ly accounted for. The second son is entirely
hclpless,an the only maner in which his couch
can be smoolhcd, is to place another bed along
side and roll him from one to the other. The
elder son is somewhat less helpless though he
is also in a terrible condition. Charlcsto1un,
