regular and uniform, without fuctua-
tons or variations of prices. The re-
ceipts have fallen off gradually during

quantity to supply the demand of dis
tillers. At the close of the week the
market may be written steady at

TAR-Since we last wrote there has
been a general feeling of depression
in the market for this article, in con-
sequence of the continued monetary
troubles and the difficulty in securing
currency to pay rafters, and there has
been a decline of % cents Oh last
weeks quotations. At the close of
the week the market is steady at 50,

SPIRITS TURPENTINE-I mar
ket has been dull most of the week,
there being only occasional signs OF
life on the part of buyers, and under
pretty liberal offerings tie market has
ruled easy, and when stocks were
pressed for sale concessions were ne
cessary. On Friday. the market opened
steady at SO cents, but, afterwards be-
came weak and on Saturday declined
to 81! cents !; Monday there was a
slight revival of spirit on the part Of
sellers, but this subsequently gave way
and prices declined % 81 cents Tues
day the dullhess continued and thsce
was decline to 49, cents Wednes-
day the market showed signs of life and
buyers We're bidding 363 cents, but
sellers refused to sell. To-day, at the
close, the market may be written as
closing quiet at 3d. cents. The re-
ceipts for the week, AT casks against
,584 casks for last week, show q small

ROSIN There has been very little
activity in rosin during the past week,
and the tendency of the market FOR
the last few days has been decidedly
! in favor of buyers, prices having nm
dergone more or less revision. The
market however is not bOuyant at the
decline, in the absence of any specr-
lative demand and transaction were
on very limited scale. The general
movement of the article has been much
retarded by the continued financial
troubles and the cause of the present
decline may be attributed principally
to that source In the future market
there has been no transactions, buyers
not having regained confidence enough
yet to venture beyond a legitimate
trade. The supply OftOnnage is ample
to meet the requirement of exporters
and the short supply of tonnage which
for so long a time dealt a severe re-
stricticn to the trade and prices, is now
no longer subject of talk or Il bar
rier to trade. At the close of business
to-day there is no little revival of
feeling in the future market, and prices
are more or less nominal. The sales
for the week and the condition of the
market at different periods of the
week as reviewed is rs follows Fri

MAKING TIE WORLD FlRsT.-Last re mark
OF sermon on "Prayer," crowded out last week
o. We see In this subject the danger of max
Ing this world first and Gods cause second.-
Lot, fol- gain pitched his tent toward Sodom.-
Once Chederlomer took him prisoner, with all
his goods. Abraham hearing of ii pursued and
recaptured Lot and saved his goods. Bat Lot
again returned TO Sodom and the second time
barely escaped with his own life and that of his
two single daughters, leaving his wife and all
his substance.
Many follow Lots example. Young men,
sometimes, in going to the city because they
can make money little faster than in the coun-
Try, are pitching their tent toward Sodom,-
christian men who are comfortably located
here, and have places of usefulness In the
Church, but who go West, Just because they
hope TO get rich flster often lind that when il
IS 10 late that they have "pitched their tents
toward Sodom." Sometimes they get their
riches, but lose their souls. Sometimes, hav-
ms lost their substance they flee like lo, leay-
Ing a part of their families behind them in the
grave. Observe: the evil is not in going West
or East, but in doing either from mercenary
inotive'' without considering whether spirtu-
any you shall gain or lose; or whether, In do
ing so, your usefulness is TO be Impaired or aug
mented. Woe to him who when called to work
IN Nineveh shall flee to Tarshish. If called to
tne quiet plains of Jordan, flee not to the cor
rupt aud crowded Sodom. Be not in haste to
get rch,and if riches increase set not yo,r he art
upon them.

Tue SHAFTS JEwEIs-The Jewels of the

but they are Of surprising purity The Shah's
sword belt is a treasure house In itself. Tie

diamonds, which shame their setting of pu,e t

MON OAY MORNING, JULY2 l, 1878.

, The JENNERvILLE BUTcuERY.-On the
, way to this city u prisoner became communi-
! catve to fault, and only ceased at the sugges-
, on Of Sheriff Gil. lie tells the story of how
lie is suspected OF the crime in the following
words, al came up the Baltimore Central Rail-
road one evening in the latter part Of June, and
while sitting in the car stranger asked me to
get him drink, as he felt badly, to which re-
quest acceded, and from this formeda partial
acquaintance, and SO we talked, and went 10
| Philadelphia. On the evening OF the 30th OF
June we got of the cars at West Grove Station,
| on the Baltimore Central Railroad and from
there the SIR n yer and walked TO Jennerville
! where We put up for the night. During the
night the man was very Sick and required my
attention at intervals. The next morning
hired horse to take ride, but the horse
wouldn't drive, so rode him to Pennington
| vile, where hired another horse and wagon
with which retured to Jennerville, leading the
first named horse. From Jenncrville, In the
evening, took the stranger riding and lett him
at Coclranyllc from which place he said he
was gCiDg to Parkesburg, which was & last |
saw Of the man. After quitting him 1 drove
back tOPenningtonville alone" lie says he
does not know the mans name or whero he
belonged.
The prisoner asked Sheriff Gill if his brother.
n'law Rhoads was suspected of being impllca-
ted In the murder, and acknowledged to have
Wrlttcn MN a letter liSL winter Dlt mounting I'd
the effect of murder, but merely for him to
come to Baltimore and with him enter into
business, and all live together; also to bring his
mother, Jane Undertook, along.
The sheriff says he was evidently making,
preparations for getting away when arrested
and the man admits having intentions of quit
ting Baltimore, but says 1t was for the purpose
OF coming to Chester county and delivering
himself up to the authorities.
The sheriff, it is said, found conclusive ev
dence by papers discovered on his person that
he had been engaged in robberies in Baltimore.
The excitement in the neightorhood where the
horrible butchery took place continues to be
very intense, and the mass of evidence already
accumulated 1t is thought, is fully sufficient to
establish U iderzook's guilt beyond perad
venture. Circumstances point strongly to
brother in-law by the name of Rhoads as an
accomplice, and warrant is in the hands of an
officer for his arrest.-Ledger.
