a MAN TRAP.-An old wooden building sit
uated on Fore street near Union, fell to the
ground yesterday morning about 10 o'clock.
The building is owned by the Boyd heirs, but
has not been occupied for some time. AT the
time it fell carriage was under it and was
buried beneath tho falling timbers. Fortu-
nately no one was passing at the time, as the
walls of the building fell across the sidewalk.
The fall frightened the horse of Mr. Crockett,
that was hitched near by, aud he ran down
Fore street to Market stIeet, when he turned
and ran nearly to Middle street before~ he was
caught, damaging the wagon to some extent.
On his way he struck the carriage of Mr.. R.
Greedy, breaking the thills and otherwise in
turing it. Mr.. Greely's horse stood perfectly
quiet and did not attempt to run. AS the team
passed up Market street the team OF MIR.
Knight of Woodford's Corner, became frighten-
ed and ran down to Fore street, but was stop
ped before any injury was done. 1t is not often
that we have to chronicle such series of acct
dents with less damage resulting.

from the National Cotton Exchange crop re-
port for August: In Mississippi Louisiana,
