TOBACCO.
FROM RICHARDS, LEFTw1cH & co.'s LEAF TOBACCO
CIRCULAR.
BALTIMORE, Sd July, 1878.
We have to record fair business in Tobacco
during the past month.
1t seems generally conceded that the crops
now being marketed will be required to meet
the demands of the trade.
Kentucky has been dealt in to moderate ex-
tent. Sales about 800 hhds. for export, main
ly of selections from the better qualities, which
continue in good demaud, the lower grades be-
ing still neglected.
We note continued stiffness in the interior,
while reports from the ''other side' present lit
lie or no encouragement to shippers.
Virginia.-The recent activity and advance
in Virginia has induced buyers for export and
home trade to enter this market for decided
grades at fair prices.
Maryland.-There has been brisk market
throughout the entire month, resulting in full
sales for France, Germany and Holland. Re
ceipts quite abundant carly in the month, have
fallen off, and will very. likely continue small
until after the grain harvesting.
Ohio.-After protracted waiting, the mar
ket has finally opened, and sales during the last
fortnight have been about 2, 300 hhds.-1, 200
for France, 7OO@8OO for Duisberg and Bre-
men, and the remainder for various markets.
We repeat quotations as follows:

took fright and ran off. We have not
heard what damage was done to the hor-
ses and carriage. Fortunately no person
was in the vehicle at the time. The young
ladies were at the Brawner House enjoy

doubt agree with "Wicked's" remark that

STRANGER THAN FICroN.-A North Ger
mau paper advertses for the American heirs of
the fortune of widow lady of Amsterdam as
follows:
The following heirs Of Catharine Spelling and
her daughter Dorothy, both of whom died
violent death in 1852 at Amsterdam, are re-
ouested to send their addresses Immediately to
the Royal Probate Court at Amsterdam :
Sophia Bcherenshurg, Otto Kellanaer, Anna
Derfing, Joseph Delhipg, all Of whom emigrat-
cd to the United States since 1864.
ERNEST BELGER, Solicitor.
The story IF the death Of the two women, so
long ago as 1852, and the finding OF their MUIR
derers twenty years after, is revelation OF
actual occurrences which are as terribly tragic
as may be found within the lids of romance.
The widow, Catherine Spelling, and her daugh
ter Dororby. were joint possessorS of diamonds
money, and bonds worth $3.50, 000 and occupi'
ed house by themselves ou Harlan street,
Amsterdam One day in the summer of S52
placard appeared on their door saying they
had gone to the country. Six weeks rolled
around and still the placard remained on the
door. The suspicious of the police were aroused
ty the long absence of the women, and the
house was entered The placard was found to
be fearful deception; the bodies of the two
women were found on the floor, their diamonds
money, and bouds missing, and no cew to the
murderer and thief found.
In July last the house was torn down, and
ip its destruction came to hight circumstance
cqualling in horror the discovery of the assassi.
nalion OF the two lone women. Between the
house taken down and the adjoining one was
space of about foot, and confined in this mar
row cell was touod the skeleton of a man, caught
midway between the top aud bottom, and on
the ground beneath him were found the dia-
inouds, the bonds, and the money Of the two
murdered women. The assassin in attempting
to escape, had missed his footing, fellen be-
tween the houses, and with strip of blue sky
visible above the high walls Of his living tomb.
had starved to death.

CURING MEAT.-The recent improvements
in the processes for preserving meat are exem-
plifca,ions of the tendency to bring careless
aLd hap hazard operations under the control OF

the theory of saltiDg meat, aud nothing more
irregular and uncertain in its results. The
outer portion of the meat is generally over
hardened by the salt, while the interior ls with

AMERICAN OYSTERS IN PARIS. The Paris
market is being supplied with American oys-
tels in the shell, trom the Chesapeake Bay.
The importation of oysters from Norfolk COM
menced couple of years ago, and it has been
so successful that new companies have been
formed, to carry on large export trade ln this
article Of food. Artificial beds for their recep-
,lou have been prepared on the Normandy
coast, aud number of vessels have been es
pecialIy constructed for the trade, combining
speed aud large tonnage capacity. Large oyster
parks for their planting, have also been con-
structed at LIE Croisie, on the Atlantic ocean,
ior the storing Of these shipments on their ar
rival in France. Some of the earlier arrivals
are already 10 the Paris market, and command
prices far iu advance of that obtained for the
French oyster, which has greatly dcteriorated
of late years, and the beds are showing unmls-
taxable sigus of exhaustion. The voyage across
the ocean disturbs in some degree the normal
condition of the oyster, and it has been found
necessary that they should repose Tor some
time in beds on their sides, in order that they
may tatten aud become eatable, whilst at the
same time they increase and multiply. 1t is
stated in a calculation by an eminent French
naturalist, that each adult oyster becomes the
progenitor of between two and three mil
lion embryo oysters Hence the speculation
PROMISES in time to be very profitable, as these
cmpanies contemplate supplying both the
Paris and London markets with our delicious
bralves. Thus America is looked to for the
supply of all the Deficiencies of food in Europe.
The failure Of the wheat crop was scarcely dis
covered, before all eyes were turned towards
America, and the probability is that all we can
spare will be required to supply the bread-eat-
Ing humanity OF Europe before another harvest.
