The prospects for higher prices for Amer
lean grain this year is very good. The news
from Europe is that there is a serious grain
deficiency in that country, and the fact that
the old world must supply its lack almost
entirely from this country, cannot fail to
affect the market here. The shipments of
all kinds of grain from this country since
January first have been much larger than
in former years, aggregating to March seven,
from the principal lake ports alone, II, ,42l, ,O57
bushels, against 5,257, ,lS8 bushels in the
same weeks OF 1872. The shipments of flour
during the same period were 1,255, $50 bar
rels against 664,67 barrels showing an in
crease in both instances of nearly one hun
dred per cent. This marked increase is
also noticeable from August first, 1873, to
March first, 1874, the shipments aggregating
102, ,554, ,607 bushels of grain and 3,4O2, ,2S5
barrels of flour against S8,046, ,240 barrels of
-four in the same time in the year preceding.
And this, too, although the full effects of the
short European crops are just beginning to
be felt here.

Tue ORxsoS Dolly vardens have
made a great many boasts about the
manner In which the fusion ticket.
which was put up to beat the Rcpubll-
can ticket BY Democrats and railroad
subsidy seekers, was to sweep the
State. From latest returns OF tho cleo
tion held there OH Monday, 1t appears
that the Republicans have not only
elected their Congressman and Gov.
ernor, against whom tho main flgh,
was directed, but arc In a fair way to
have a majority Of the State ticket.
The Independent movement In Oregon
was primarily an organization fol

wouli-be subsidized projectors OF Ger.

from the assumed organization In Ne

to be secured. The Oregon Dolly
vardens wanted railroad subsidies.

A Sad Incident.

One Of the saddest casualties among
the lower classes was that Of Edward

the bridge at ~Ilaydenville. lie was
standing In front OF his house when
he discovered the water approaching.
aud In trying to enter and save his old
wife aud u helpless boy. he was over.

Mocker grisped the youth In her arms,
aud struggled for dry land. but was
twice knocked down and badly YOU
ded by floating rubbish, but, although
badly wounded, she chung to her In
valid boy, and stood waist-deep In the
water for an hour until the flood sub
sided. Men then came To her rescue,
moving her TO comfortable quarters,
but In moving the boy he vas by some
means dropped Ia the read. aud this,
with the exposure and shock, Il was
thought, would shortly cause his death.
The boy fell on the ice last Winter,
spraining his ankle, and, being unable
to move, his legs were frozen before
being discovered, and lie has been a
helpless invalid ever since. The
mothers lament, Saturday night, when
applying at the Town Hall for bed
clothing, was most piteous.
Alter describing her husbands vain

. lrrom the Republican, Juneal
About eleven o'clock last evening a
drunken row occurred at or In front
OF Stelnkamp's bakery on Bridge
street, between three men, resulting in
the stabbing and killing Of Edward
Sheridan. Ii appears from the testi-
mony adducei before the Coroner's
Jury to-day that the deceased flrst at
tackled David Palmer. one Of the men
engaged In the row, aad threw him
dswn In the street. Afterwards the
parties threw rocka at each other. and
lighting In this way continued for
several minutes. The csmbatants
finally closed together In q tusssl or
rough and tumble fight during which
Palmer drew q knife and stabbed
Sheridan several times In the region
OF the heart. After the stabbing
Palmer ran away aud Sheridan walk
ed Into the bakery. sat downin achalr
and died In less than five minutes.
Palmer was arrested soon afterwards
by Constable Getchsll. He will prob
ably have his examination to-day be-
fore Justice Kolser. The Coronsr's
Jury have net yet rendered q verdict.
The deceased Is q native Of Ireland,
about thirty.two years Of age. From
facts laid before the Coroner's Jury
it appears that Sheridan was 4 desert
or from the British army aud had the
letter "D" branded on his hip.

III SENATOR'S.

The Senate yesterday by a bare ma
jerity confirmed Richardson as Judge
Of the United States Court Of Claims.
In striking contrast with this course
was Ito action In the case Of Mr.. Bris-
tow, who by an unanimous vote was
confirmed As Secretary ofthe Treasury.
The dispatch which gives this informa-
ton says that several Republican
senators refused to vote upon the con-
frmatisn Of Richardson, aud adds
that II the abstsinlng Senators had
Yo,,d In the negative, ''the nominal
ton would have been rejected" It
4, difficult to conceive the exeuses
which each Senator must have framed
for Secretary Richardson, to justify
hi, individual vote. IL salso harrass-
Ing and pitlsble to know that the
tImorou,ness. carelessness, and stupid
i,y Of Republican absentses In tho
Senate have combined to folst into n
responsible ollce n man whose In
competency and carelessnes, II
net downright knavery have
cost this Government large
sums Of money, rendered eur financial
policy a byword, sham and laughing
stock, and called forth from the most
important committee Of Congress a
resolution Of censure which, although
couehed In mild language. Is all the
more bitter because the public and the
committee knew such lenleucy was
undeseryed. While we may have
some respect for men, who either by
words or deeds, snunciate or attempt
to carry out their convictions Of jus
tlcc; while we may possibly be bound
to concsde candor and honesty to the
Republican Senators who voted for
Richardson's confirmation, Though,
for the life Of us, we cannot conceive
the basis Of their actlonl, for those ir'
resolutes, who being opposed to hi'
promotion, skulksd away ingloriously
and dedged a vote, hoping thereby Il
evade responsibility, there a DO bu'
condemnation and contempt. We DE-
not know their names; they are no
given In telcgraphic dispatches
but tho country everywher'

cowardly abscace from the pos

SKATING is emphaticaly an American
amusement. Although a iavorite pasiimt
in other countries, il is nowhere so uni
versallv practiced as in the United States,
unless II be in Holland or in colder eli
mates. where the bright and joyous phase
is entirely wanting. IL may be used IN
those places for a general method OF loco
motion. but the development Of scientific
and fancy skating is carried 10 n greater
extent in our own land.
The origin of skating is unknown, but II
Is thought 10 have crown from a practice
Of putting on iron runners under snow
shoes in Finland. The Improvements which
have been made since would hardly he
appreciated without = comparison OF pali
OF American club skates with the wooden
81 n Holland peasant.
Skat.Eg first began 10 grow in popular
favor rs "A sport in the winter 1887. Then
there was sudden start and the enthusl-
asm spread throughout the country. Ladies
who had hitherto lecn excluded from
what had been called a purely masculine
exercise, began to learn the moyment and
soon proved themselves 20 be. if not as cx-
pert, at least more graceful than the gen
tlomcn. The demand grew 50 great for
skating grounds after this that enterprising
men began TO build rinks, and even cities
did not find il Of too little consequence TO
appropriate ponds in the parks for the
special use of skaters.
As a vigorous and healthy ont door ex-
ercise winter furnishes no more healthy
and innocent amusement than this. IL
yigoraies the body. strengthens the mus
cles, imlar grace, and is as good school
iorpoliteness a as dancing academy.
The art IS easily acquired after Il person
once learns to stand properly on his skates.
Ofcourse, We do not refer TO fancy skating,
for that requires much practice and pa
ticnce. But enough can be learned to
thoroughly enjoy it in a few iriais.-Har-
