FLOUR-The market has been dull
all the week, Extra Family sells at ST.
Family is easy to buy at IS to $40, and
Extra Super s7QasS, duperfnc ranges
from SO to 81.
W 0 OD-The market is heavily
stocked with all qualities of wood ex-
cept pine, for which there seems to ex-
ist a good demand, and the receipts
are readily disposed of. We quote, as
selling by the quantity, as follows:
H1ne. ..-.--....... - 1908 30
Swamp Ash .......... 2 J0@13 -
Split Ash ....... 3 O0Ct:j %
Blackjack ) :s)Cl3 10
SALT.--The market is well stocked.
We quote American at 81 33@.Sl -,
apd Liverpool at 81 35@S1 80 p sack
SHINGLES.--The trade i'll this ar
ticie is confined mostly to exporters.
We quote Sap at Sc 80, ana Heart at
So 90 u VI.
CRUDE TURPENTINE-No I'M
provement in the general tone Of the
market has been reported since the
close Of our last. On the other hand,
we have had dull market, with
scarcely any animation observable, and
business has been confined to its regu-
lar channels. From distillers there
has been some enquiry and the re-
ceipts for the most part ware taken for
consumption, there being only a light
demand for export. At the close of
business to-day the market is quoted
steady at s. for hard, So for yellow
dip and So 40 for virgin. The receipts
for the week, 1,54O bbls., against 975
bbls for last week. show an increase
of $50 bbls. The exports for tie week
were 800 bbls. The stock III market
is put down ut 1000 Lbls. The sales
foc Tho week were as follows

GRAIN.-Since the writing Of our
last report of the grain market there
have been no radical changes in corn,
9r other grains, and our last remarks
are applicable to tho business of this
week. "CoRS has been Unfair demand
with liberal export movement, and Il
good consumptive demand, but be-
yond the Usual channels of trade,
there were no features. There were
no cargo arrivals and consequently we
are without transactions to form an
opinion as to the correct state Of the
market, but from the best information
gained, we quote cargoes firm at 80 to
IS cents q bushel as per quality. No
new corn has arrived as yet, lut there
are indicationS Of an early arrival of
tle new gfaiR and it is thought until
ibis begins to come In, that there will
be no decided alteration in the quota
tions cf the market. The receipts
from Northern ports continue ample
to meet the demands and there is little
scarcity of supply. Quotations from
store arc not materially changed, but
there is stronger feeling, and small
orders would probably be filed at a
slight advance. The receipts for the

hOCIN.---LEC general Increment OF
resins this week has been larger and
more equally divided among the diff
ferent grades than Any week for
several past. There haa been con
siderable looking around among buy
ers, but the transactions from first
hands has been light, owing to the

general hardening Of values, ard the
tonc OF the market at the close is
stronger than when we last wrote.
The general demand has become some

the It'll of November.
The McArthur enquirer. (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1873-1884, 1873-05-21

1t seems that something very
like practical, if not theoretical
union, was exemplifed at the
late Baltimore Conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Episcopal Methodist thus
describes the occasion:
zone Of the grandest cpl
sodes that ever delighted a
traveller along the highway of
duty, was the improptu transi-.
tion from the ordinary routine
of conference busines to the
more spiritual narration Chris
tian experience. Here were
representatives of the Northern
and Southern Methodist and
Presbyterian Churches, all ex-l
hlbltlng the spirit OF love, and
speaking the language olpeace.
Bishop Doggett was class
leader. After singing an old
fashioned hymn, in the SoId
fashioned Wesleyan style--that
is, unanimously and lustly-the
venerable John Bear, Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
led in prayer, and them follow
ed a scene which pen nor pen
Gil cannot portray. A number
Of Methodist Ministers of both
churches testified OF the power
of Divine grace in the act of
pardoning and cleansing from
sin, and Of its legitimate fruits
in importation and outgrowth
of Chrlstian'love and fellowship.
How timely and appropriately
was this hallowed scene closed
by the venerable Jonn Miller,
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, raising his tall, manly
form to the full measure of his
stature, and with the subdued
emotion, asking the privilege of
repeating a verse of Scripture:
"Behold, how good and how
pleasant it for brethren to dwell
together in unity! And why is
it good and pleasant? he add
ed. For there the Lord COM
nanded the Messing, eOea life for
eyerm0re,"

Z. A Telegraph Story.

The most curious fact that ever |
heard Of the electric telegraph was
told to me by q cashier of the Bank
of England. You may have heard
Of it, 1t may have been in print.
i am sure it deserves to be. On q
certain Saturday night the folks at
the bank could not make the bal
ance come right by just one hun
dred pounds. This is serious mat
ter in that little establishments do
mot mean the cash, but the mistake
in arithmetic-for it occasions q
world Of scrutiny. An error in
balancing has been known l am
told, to- keepa delegation of clerks
from each office at work sometimes
throughrthe whole night A hue
and cry, was of course made after
this hundred pounds, as if the old
lady in Thread needle street would
be in the Gazette for want of it..
Luckily on the Sunday morning, a
clerk Tin the middle Of sermon, /
dare say, if the truth were known)
felt a suspicion of the truth dart
through his mind quicker than any
flash of the telegraph itself. He
told the chief cashier on Monday
morning, that, perhaps, the mistake
might have occurred in packing
some boxes of specie for the West
Indies, which had been sent to
Southampton for shipment. The
S ggest on was Immediately
acted upon. Here was race
lightning against steam, with eight
and forty hours given. Instantly
the wires asked, Whether such q
vessel had left the harbor p Just
weighed anchor" was the answer.
Stop her." frantically shouted the
electric telegraph. 1t was done.
Have upon deck certain boxes
marked so and so, weigh them care
fully" They were weighed; and
one-the delinquent-was foundry
just one packet Of a hundred sover-
eigns heavier than it should be.
Let her go,'' said the mysterious
telegraph. The West Indian folks
were debited with just one hundred
pounds more, and the error was
corrected without ever looking into
the boxes, or delaying the voyage
by an hour. Now, that is what may
be called doing business

Exterminating Weeds.

A correspondent Of the Rural
Home writes: Annual and bien-
nial plants, such as the daisy or
OK eye, May weed, the rag weed,
rod-root, &C., are more difficult to
extirpate, when they once get pos
session Of the land, as their seeds
will sometimes remain in the soil
several years before termination,
Careful wedding after thorough cul-
tivation is the very best way and
perhaps the only way to clean the
land when they once get possession
but as in this; as with most 9th.
er evils; an ounce Of prevention is
worth a pound Of cure Farmers
do not seem to realize the damage
their crops suffer from these inju-
rious weeds. If a neighbors cattle
break into their crops, and trample
down, the damage is perceptible
but a growth Of weeds and thistles
may choke and rob the plant Of
food and moisture, so that it can.
not mature it's grain, and they take
little note Of it. Better, oftentimes,
that half the land be left unseeded
and the balance well cultivated and
clean Of weeds.

A Free Pass.

Some one was telling me the 9th
er day, says writer, q new story
about the late Dean Richmond, who
was known far and wide for his
gruffness of manner. Mr.. Rich
mond was here at the time and my
informant, who was a boy working
in printing office, wished to get a
pass over the Central Railway.
With this purpose in view he en-
tered the office where the magnate
was, fearing that he would be rude
ly rebuffed when he made his mis-
sion known. After moments hes
itation he said, falteringly:
Mr.. Richmond, l believe ?"
Yes; what do you want of me p
81 should like, sir, to get a pass
from Albany to Buffalo, as l can go
up on the boat for nothing"
"On what grounds do you ask
for q pass p This with rising
and very rough voice,
"On the grounds, sir, that / don't
want to pay my fare"
Richmond, without another word,
wrote outa pass and handed it to
the applicant The boy took it,
saying: g
Thank you, thank you, Mr..
Richmond"
You. needn't thank me, young
ster l am glad to accommodate you.
You are the first person I've ever
know to ask for a pass on the right
grounds"

A QUART or two Of plaster q day,
will keep a large horse stable com
paratively sweet; and a few bushels
will absorbe the amonia from O large
pile of fermenting manure. AS a
deoderizcr, plaster is next to car
bolic acid in efficiency. 1t should
always be handy in the stable, pig
pen and yard, and the instant any
unpleasant odor arises should be
used literally around the cess pool,
sink, spout, drain and all decaying
vegetation, and particularly the
compost heap. Plaster applied to
clover always has good effect. The
finer plaster is ground the better,
for the reason that it is the more
easily dissolved by the rains, fit
ting it to enter into the growth of
plants.

A GRAIN of common sense
seems to have been infused into
the military authorities touch
ing the war upon the Modocs.
1t is proposed to wait for re-en-
forcements, and make the Sec
ond attack with a sufficient force
to dislodge and overwhelm the
red rascals. The trouble has
been that our troops made war
upon the savages after a high
toned, and as it were, civilized
fashion. Our grandfathers'
grandfathers' grandfathers, had
grandfathers who knew better
than that. We again urge put
ting the Indian against the In
dian. Then christians could
look on as the husband looked
on the contest between his
wife and the bear.o az ih
