VERDICT
'That Jacob Young came to his death by a stab

March, 1873, at 429 East Seventy fourth street. by
some one to us unknown; that Michael Buckley

supposed 10 have been inflicted by Mr. schmidt
with "a knife which he wrenched from the hand ol
the principal murderer.

The Cotton Movement.

The New York Financial Chronicle
and Sentinel has returns from the South
ern ports, showing The receipts, exports,
ETC., of cotton for tie week ending
June 81. 1t appears that the total
receipts for the seven days have reached
1855 bales against 1862 bales last
week, 1925 bales the previous week, and
%, 100 Oales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first OF September,
1872, 3,4S5, I'll bales against 1888 600 bales
'or he same period Of 1871 =, showing An
increase since Sept. 1, 1872, of 1911
bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach total of 25, 05S bales, Of
which 1884 were to Great Britain, 1910
to France, and lea to rest of the CONT
nent, while the stocks as made up are now
1884 bales. Compared with the CORE
spending week of last season, there is an in
crease in the exports this week of 22,544
bales, while the stocks ale 62,263 bales
more than they were at this time a year
ago. We make the following extracts from
the Chronicle at hand:
The market for spot cotton this week has
remained in much the same position as last
reported. There has been slight improve
ment in the demand, but prices have been
nominally unchanged, with a continuance
OF the feature noted week ago to-wit., all

Laughed 10 Death.

1t very often happens that funny men
meet tragic ends. 1t is a very dangerous,
even mournful gift-the faculty Of making
people laugh. The man who possesses it
has 10 perform impossibilities. He must
sustain his reputation by keeping up the
laughter, or 90 into some obscure corper
and cry his life away. He never gets rich
by his funny efforts. 1t takes all the money
he can earn to keep himself supplied with
fuel and food for fun. There is constant
drain upon him, and The mirthful muse is
not gracious every day. Jno. Haslsm quit dig
ging coal and went to comic singing in Eng
land twenty-five ye ars ago. He grew into
popularity, but gradually dwindled again
into comparative obscurity. He came down
to singing comic songs in public houses, and
made two or three shillings a week. II
must have been very difficult after making
a twenty-five years laughter TO be suffi.
cienty funny on the three shillings q week.
The thing cam be done. 1t is expecting
too mach OF human nature. There is no
fun In feeling the want OF bread. John
HaslRm beca ne too weak 10 sing, to saw
nothing of the comic quality that was ex-
pected of him. He took to bis lodgings. and
said to neighbor, GAN want is Something
to eat and drink. have NJ pain on me.
He died Two days after at Stafford, England,
az the verdict of the Coroner's jury was:
death from natural causes, accelerated py
want of medical attendance and the proper
necessaries of life" That is a stroke of
English humor. Seriously, it means ostary-
ed to DEATH" One of the jurymen was of
the opinion that 'tsome one was to blame.n
Very likely. There are many very funny
people who know better than anybody else
how serious life is, and how difficult it is to
laugh themselves. The laughter of others
becomes an intoxication, and the poor hum
:, rist is often laughed to death.-St. Louis

Mechanics Rank.

B. F. Wilson, w. b. Newell and W. NJ.
Duncan, doing business in the name of the
Mechanics Bank, have dissolved partner
ship by mutual consent, and all persons
having deposits in said bank are notified to
call for same. Balances remaining uncall-
ed for on the 10th instant will be placed TO
the individual credits Of the parties at the
First National Bank. This is the purport
of notice published else Where. That is
rather an Questionable way of closing a
banking institution, but if we had fifteen
cents more or less on deposit in that con.
Germ, We think we would be pleased with
the new departure taken by the owners of
this bank. 1t sounds equally as well as
suspension, aud if this example is followed
by other institutions, people generally will
be better pleased with the wind-up.

stopping the sisters at the Bridge

A communication appeared in the UNION
AND AMERICAN yesterday censuring the
bridge corporation, and rejecting upon the
0rldge-k9epers for requiring the Sisters Of
Mercy to pay toll. We have no doubt the
communication was written on the spur of
the moment, and without waiting to see if
some explanation would not be given if sp-
ptic3tion had been made. Mr.. Pritchett,
the President, called TO see US yesterday,
and informed us that the case had been
reported to him by the keeper promptly,
and he Immediately gave instructions to
pass them free On their mission Of charity.
The keeper of course, has no right to pass
any one without instructions, and the fact
that he put the matter Immediately before
the President, shows that he was disposed
to gr tify their request. The following
communication in defense Of the toll
keepers was handed us for publication yes
terday, which we give to the public cheer
fully:
In simple justice TO Mr.. Farmer and Mr..
Mckinney, the Toll Collectors at the Sus-
pension Bridge, we would say to "an in
dignant Edgefield man" that we do not know
any two men who could be more courteous
snd kind as toll collectors than they always
seem TO be. They attend to their business,
and discharge it rightly, and faithfully; and
would be of no account to the Bridge Com
pany, if they did not perform what they
are paid TO do.
We learn from them, that, when they
called the attention of the President to the
fact that the ''good women of Mercy at st.
Bernard" wanted to pass without charge,
be told them to do so, long in advance of @an
indignant Edgefeld mans" harsh structures.
We could not say less. We need not say
more. EDIT r.
