The market this morning was weak
and heavy, with prices a shade lower.
The demand was very limited, with few
buyers on the market The rain and
Indictment weather also tended to defer
operations. The New York kilograms
reported futures weak and spot cottons
dull and weak. with low middling at l6c,
middling l5lc. Liverpool was quoted
dull and easier, with uplands sf@ssd.
The advices not being Of an eneourag-
ing character. together with the large
receipts aud light demand, had a de-
pressing effect on the market here, in
consequence Of which the market was
extremely dull aud heavy. with prices
nominal and unsettled. The demand
was mostly for fancy cottons. Low
grades were not in much request. In
our rounds we learned Of few lists
Of low middlings changing hands at l3i
@l4c, strict low middling at l4i@l4lc,
middling at l4l@l5c. Holders offered
freely, and in most cases were anxious

conceded to buyers prices. Prices were

A GREAT HORROR DONE away WITH

House cleaning is great horror to nine
men out of every ten. When that time
comes the 'men folks" as rule, give the
domestic hearth a"wide BIRTH" Oceans
OF suds-the product oil tons of soap
fairly flood every part of the house. The
women, from the mistress down, labor as
they never worked before, and what with
the discomfort, the smell of suds and
dampncss, and not unfiequently sickness,
the product Of colds and overwork, matters
are generally disagreeable. The simple
use of Sapolio instead of soap does away
with ali this discomfort. 1t lightens the
labor hundred per cent, because it re-
moves dirt, grease, stains and spots, with
hardly any labor, with but little water,
and in one-tenth the usual time.

TRUNK Yesterday q
colored man entered the store of a clothier
of lower Main street, and purchased a
small trunk at the cost of one dollar and
seventy-fve cents. A short time thereaf-
ter he returned and asked if he could
exchange it for larger one. Being
answered in the affirmative, he concluded
to take one at four dollars, and paid the
merchant tho difference of two dollars
and seventy-liye cents. The purchaser
shouldered the trunk and carried it down
to the Old Market, and there opened it in
the presence Of number Of spectators,
when, 10 and behold he found his trunk
contained three pairs of pants and a nice
black coat. Thinking that some job
had been put up on him. he
requested some Of the bystanders to ac-
company him to the store to see why the
merchant was so generous, but they think
ing fair exchange was no robbery, pre-
vailed upon him TO depart with his bargain
in peace, which he did. A policeman who
heard Of the facts in the case interviewed
the merchant, and at first the donator was
10th to believe it, but upon examination
he found that he was minus trunk which
contained clothing to the tune Of forty dol
lars. We opine said merchant will be a
little more particular in trunk exchanges
in future.

This company, Captain Robert L. Hobson
commanding, made most creditable and
soldierly appearance yesterday on the oc-
cason of the celebration of its second anni-
versary, at Sunny Side Park, on the Grove

the streets, about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, ell route to the scene of festivities, it
was in the midst of drizzling rain, which
bid fair to spoil all enjoyment, but the rain
luckily ceased when the company had got
ten as far as Sidney. The bill OF fare
embraced a picnic, banquet, and tar
get practice, into the discussion OF
which all entered with zest. With invited
guests there were about two hundred per-
sons Mt the Sunnyside Park on the occa-
sion. The ranks were well filled, and the
company with their handsome new epau-
lettes and caps, and their bright new rifles.
presented very striking appearance. The
festivities were prolonged until about 8
o'clock last night, when the cortege, headed
by the Guard, started on their return
march to the city.
At the banquet the following regular
toasts were drank and responded to as
stated:
