There has been an entire absence of
any business calculated to establish a
market range of values during the past
three days, and quotations for the time
being must be regarded as entirely NOM
inal. There is still pressure to sell on
the part of few of the weaker houses
of the trade, who have been pinched
somewhat by the financial pressure of
the past two weeks, and finding it i'm
possible to negotiate Paper are forced to
realize on their stock. The extreme
range of quotations, say, 522@55c for
double extra Ohio, 50952c for extra,
and 45(G50c for extra and double extra
Michigan are strongely adhered to by
the most of the trade, but with few sales.
Manufactures do not seem to be in press
ing need of stock, and generally hold
off for more active trade in goods, or
a reduction of values on a raw material.
The few houses that are weakening un-
der the present financial pressure are
theorizing enough stock upon the mar
ket to supply the immediate wants of
consumers, and the majority of the
houses are selling nothing. Foreign
Woods are fiat and unchanged, and are
held with relatively more frmness than
most domestic grades. We omit the
few transactions that are reported in the
absence of reliable prices.

There is very little to be said about
the Wool market this week Trade has
been very light, and the sales foot up
less than in any previous week for sew
eral months. Buyers are in the market
in fair numbers, but show no disposition
to purchase heavily at any price which
dealers would consider, and holders are
not anxious to force Wool upon the
market 1t is difficult to give QUOTA
tion for Fleece Wool which will repre-
sent the condition of the market. Prices
take considerable range, and based
upon a great variety of circumstances.
A cash buyer can probably purchase
Ohio Wool about two cents pound bet
ter than two weeks ago, say at even half
u dollar. Buyers vino wish the usual
credit find prices about the same as be-
fore the beginning of the panic, and also
find dealers not anxious to sell, as they
are confident of the future of the mar
ket. The sales reported are hardly
numerous enough to indicate the condi-
tion of the market, but are about the on
ly criterion. The highest prices are
usually for time sales.
Sales for the week foot up 100000 lbs
domestic and $4,000 lbs Foreign. In
Guiding in the former are the following
sales of Fleece: 1000 lbs on private
terms, 1000 lbs Ohio extra at 521c; 90
600 lbs Ohio extra and above at soc,
net cash; $4,000 lbs Michigan at 48@50c
$500 lbs Western at 48c; 5000 Tbs lambs

bulls, cows and calves. A drove of hogs
and pigs, of the best breeds are on the

plements, house hold effects, etc., will be
offered. 1t will doubtless pay to be on
hand at this great sale as it is well known
that the Captain always provided him
self with the best of everything that
should be in the possession of a first
class farmer

HOw.a Yankee Captain Sailed Into
Rio JuneirO.

Brazil Correspondence of the Springfield Union.
A few days later a most ridiculous af-
fair happened in the harbor. An ice
ship from Boston entered the bay, COM
manded by Captain Green, in the South
American trade. Fort Santo Cruze, not
recognizing his house flag, hailed him.
and ordered him TO "heave to-" But the
worthy skipper didn't speak Portuguese,
and the sinple statement of the name
of his vessel, which he hurled at the fort
WAS not at all satisfactory, so blank
shot was fired as mild suggestion for
him to stop. But he called for his re-
volver, and pointing it skyward, fired
six successive shots.
Then a solid shot from the fort skip
ped across his bow, and another, better
aimed, passed through his fore-sail The
fort and two shore batteries opened fire
upon him, and several of his light spars
were cut away. But he held on his
course rejoicing, loading and firing his
revolver. Finally he reached quaran-
tine, and came to anchor just as his fly
ing jib-boom went by the board. He
was then so near the other shipping that
they dared fire on him no longer, and
the police-boat, the Custom house boat,
and the health-boat, all boarded him,
together with the Captain of the port,
who, with more vigor than politeness.

An old farmer, debating his will to a
lawyer, says: 81 give and bequeath to
my wifi. the sum of e100 a year. Is
that writ down, master?' EYES," said the
lawyer; "but she is not so old but that
she may marry again. Won't you make
any change in that case? Most people
do" "Ah, do they? Well, write again,
and say if my wife marry again, give
and bequeath to her the sum of e200
year. That'll do, won't it," "Why,
that's just double the sum that she
would have had if she hadremained un-
married. said the lawyer, ''it is gener-
ally the other way" "Aye," said the
farmer" but him that takes her will de-

The Finest Church in America.

St. Patricll's Cathedral, on Fifth
avenue ssand 51st and 52nd streets, and
extending back to Madison avenue, will
be the finest church structure not alone
in New York, but in the western world :.
Begun in 1858, by Archbishop Hughes,
all work on 1t was suspended from the
outbreak of the war to the beginning of
1864; then it was resumed, and the grand
building, occupying an entire city block,
is now about half finished Enormous
granite blocks constitute its foundations
On these rises the graceful vet grand
superstructure of the Cathedral, which is
constructed all offine marble. With its
rich decorations, its rose window, its
lines of foliated tracery, its clustering
Gothic pinnacles, its wealth of ornament,
and, most of all, its lofty twin spires
rything else in New York, it closely re-
sembles the world famous Cathedral at
Cologne. 1t will be the largest, the cost
liest and the most beautiful church in
the United States it's total cost exceed
ing 100000. Everything in its con-
struction is paid for before it is used
The towers at the corners will be 1923
feet high. At this enormous height
more than one hundred feet higher than
the spire of Pearl street church in this
city-the figure stands on the highest
land in that part of New York, the work.
men (they must carry steady heads) who
finish off the spires will have a grand
view Of the city, the Sound, the Pail
sades, the country about, and the unri-
vailed bay at the south. The church
itself, built in pure white marble, the
most beautiful of all material for such
structure, will present a most graceful
and harmonius mapping of outlines, and
a world of columns, capitals, and orna-
mental tracery. Across the front gable,
over the entrance, there will extend a
row of inches with statues of saints and
martyrs seven and a half feet high
Above this will be large or circular
window twenty-six feet il diameter-"a
splendid blossom of Gothic tracery with
one hundred shafts of marble radiating
from the centres, and holding triangular
pieces of painted glass" Towards the
construction of this grandest and most
beautiful of American church edifices all
the Catholic churches in New York con-
tribute. 1t will probably be finished
four years hence, or in seventeen years
of actual working time, allowing for
the suspension during the war. Similar
churches in Europe were hundreds of
years in building.-Hartford Times.

1t costs money TO furnish Runners with hor-
ses and buggies which added to the commissions
paid them makes large item and the buyer has
to pay it. There is no getting around this fact,
although the runner (teazer) yehemently pro-
tests that HE will sell cheaper than any body
else, and just here comes in the secret of the
transaction which very few understand, to-wit:
The market prices of Foreign and American Mar
bles vary from twenty to fifty per cent, being
graded as No. l., 2, 3, average and common
Now when a runner finds it necessary TO sell
very cheap, and although he promises the best,
still when the work is being done the different

price demands and when delivered the buyer
with his want of experience cannot detect the
difference. In our ware rooms can always be
found the best and at the lowest rates. and if
buyers want the cheaper grades, the prices viii

ference will be fairly pointed out and you win

During a balloon ascension at St.
Petersburg the aeronaut experienced cur
rents of air at different attitudes, NOV
ing in contrary directions, and by rising
or descending was enabled to keep in
sight of the city for four hours, The
spectators thought that he had solved
the problem of aerial navigation, and
had some contrivance for steering. There
were three steady currents, two flowing
from the south, and the third from the
north. Sometimes the surfaces limiting
these strata of air were sufficiently even
to give rise to curious mirages.

Novel Explosion.

Mr. George W. Strong, living at Lo-
gan, Ohio, bought, some time since, a
new cook stove. After it had been in
use few days, Mrs. S. kindled fire in
the stove preparatory to getting supper,
one evening, and as she was about leav
ing, terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, &C., about
the room promiscuously, and creating
great sensation in the neighborhood, but
luckily, doing no further damage.
II was afterward ascertained that the
explosion was caused by powder which
had been used in mining the coal, which
becoming damp was not ignited when
the blast was set off. This powder, by
some means got into Mr.. SIS coal pile,
and thence into the stove, with the result
above stated =as9 So =.
Mr.. s. states that the stove is re-
markabIy heavy and strong one. If it
had been one of the light stoves, now in
common use, the consequence might
have been very serious.
The name of this stove is the ''Sensa-
tion," said to~be the best in use, and sold

RAILROAD ACCOMMODATION The
trains are running, for the first time
since the N. S. & S. r. r. has been
opened to the travelling public, so that
connection can be made with the c. &
NJ. v. R. r. at Junction City, and better
connections made at Newark with the
several roads centering there. To the
citizens of our town who have business
in Newark and our county seat and new
southern towns, this change is very ac-
ceptable and is duly appreciated, as they
can now visit any of them, transact
their business and return the same day.
The want of such accommodation has
long been seriously felt, and we feel as
sured that the business of the road will
be SO increased by the change that Mr..
Quincy, the Superintendent of the
Western Division of the B. & o. R. R.,
will never again allow the trains to be
run as they formerly were. The bust
