Correspondence Of the Union and American.
PULASKI, April 20.-The dampness of
the last week has assumed a ~"muchneSs"
that means BUSINESS of fearful consequence
Dur farmers are wearing long faces, and the
joy and hOpefulneSs | mentioned some time
since are giving way to gloom and forebod-
ings as to the future. But few persons
have planted a seed, and that which has
been planted has in some instances been
washed up. The ground that has been
plOwed is so beaten down and hardened
that 1t will be necessary to re-plOw it. The
monopolist and eXtortioner may anticipate
a fat time, but without a change and favor
able summer season woe to the man n
tolls for his bread. There should be a
careful saving OF what provisions are still
on hand from last years crop.
HON. EDWARD ROSE,
an old and hOnored citizen of this county,
died at his residence in this pla &c on Fri
day last. lie was for years 4 magistrate
and chairman of the County Court OF this
county in 1869, and represented US in the
Legislature. While in Nashville he be-
came sick, from which he never recovered.
He lived TO the ripe age of u years, and
died highly respected and loved. He was
a brother of Col. Scion Rose, 4 distin-
guished citizen of our town.
COL. Ohm c. BURCH
delivered on Friday night, in the Presby-
terrain church, TO a large and select audience,
a lecture on Burke and his Associates. The
Colonel proved himself as competent to
handle a theme for a popular lecture as he
is to occupy an editorial chair, or direct and
control the financial interests of n great
State. The lecture was of uncommon
merit both in the selections from the
writings OF Burke, the descriptions of him
by different writers, and in the lecturers
own presentation of the great Englishman.
The Colonel drew an audience that few
gentlemen could have attracted, considering
the diSagreeableness Of the evening. We
hope TO have him with us often hereafter.

LONDON, April l.-MeSsrs. r. J. Rouse
4 Co., in their monthly price current, say :
Collective have to write the history of
the most exciting month in the coffee trade
that we have known in our twenty-five
years experiences. On the first ultimo we
looked for some reaction from the heavy
fall which had taken place in February,
and in the first ten days of March a slight
recovery did take place; but, pending the
result of the Dutch Sale, there wa a calm
the precursor of the STORM On the
morning of the 18th ult. a feyerish anxiety
was manifested for the news from Holland,
and when the first telegram announced
that the sale had opened at 50dJOa cents
for good ordinary Java (valued at O. cents),
it was utterly disbelieved and regarded as
a clerical error, until later kilograms con
iirmed the fact that the sale had really
opened at the above price, although before
il terminated there was a recovery TO 80
cents. Such an immense drop, equal To
23s per cwt. in one day and 3js between
February and March sales, caused the
greatest excitement and completely discOn-
certed all the calculations Of holders. In a
few days there was a rally to 20 cents, and
hopes were then entertained that a solid
basis had been reached; but these proved
fallaciOnS. The stocks in the European
e~RtTepOts have proved too great for the
holders to manage; in Hamburg there have
been very heavy arrivals of all descriptions,
each mail from Rio reported large receipts,
when small ones should have been the rule
IL the crop OF 1874 WAS to turn out as de-
ficient as previously estimated, dealers on
the Continent have restricted their opera
tions to the smallest possible compass, and
all these circumstances have combined to
depresS prices. Good ordinary Java has
within the past week receded TO % cents;
all the European markets have given way
in proportion and have been more or less
paralyZed. The export of coffee from
London has most seriously fallen of, the
relatively high prices maintained for Plan
tatiOn Ceylon and East India having evil
IDENTIFY diminished their consumption on

Only n Little Joke.

One of Rutland's business men who Is
fortunate enough to possess a very fine gold
chronometer which he prizes beyond
wealth, stepped into clothing store on
Thursday last to examine the stock of
pants. After looking over the well select
ed and large stock of these goods, he found
pair that suited his mind, and were well
adapted to grace his form. One of the
propretors, who was in attendance upon
him, showed him room where he could
try them on. Before leaving the salesroom
he disrobed himself of coat and vest and
left them upon the counter, and went into
the dressing room to see whether the selec-
tions were just what he wanted. During
bis absence one of the proprietors removed
his watch from the cord attached TO 1t and
cleverly substituted a very inferior one,
which resembled in appearance the one
taken. The garment was just what he
wanted. He donned his apparel and went
hence. In the course of an hour or so he
had occasion to consult his time-piece, and
he Immediately discovered that there was a
radical change in the appearance of that
elmer" He suspended business fora briet
time and gave himself away as to how and
where he had been euchred on that watch.
He could think of no place, no person,
who would be guilty of playing any
"scght of hand upon him. Memory re-
verted to the last time that he consulted
his "favorte" for information, and it was
very plain and evident to him that it was
Immediately after dinner and before enter
ing the clothing store. Previous to this
his watch had been in the hands of jew
eler for repairs. With q sober and down.
cast countenance he perambulated to the
jewcly store of the above-named firm, pro-
duced the ''sham" watch and desired and
requested that they should give him hfs
watch. The jewelers. referred to their
books for information rs to numbers, and
found that no such watch as the one lie |
carried had ever been in their shop. EN-
citedly he again went upon the street and !
began a search for the man who accom-
panied him into the clothing store. He |
