This seems to be remarkable season for un-

Frst-The farmer made splendid grain crops,
but he gets very little for It,
Second-The planter, by all accounts, official

ought TO get fair price for it, yet he il actually
getting from 8 to cents less per pound than
this time last year.
Third-The manufacturers of cotton and wool
len are by no means too much overstock cd, nor
is the market glutted, as WAS the case a year
ago; yet the price is low, and to remedy the evil
q reduction of hours in New England has been
adopted.
Fouth-At no time WAS there better, pros
pect for large shipments of grain from this side;

A corporation, composed of the most influential
manufacturers OF railway cars Of Pennsylvania,
has been formed in Philadelphia, for the ,pur-
pose Of constructing cars and leasing them to
railroad companies at rental which, after pay
ing an interest of eight per cent upon the cost
of the cars, will leave surplus applicable to the
payment of such cost, and by this process the
the owners OF the cars. The principal support
will probably be derived from Pennsylvania Rail
way Co. who intend leasing these cars for the
transportation Of coal over their roads and make
productive properties that are now producing
little, IL anything, and will enable the company
to do this without increasing its floating debt.
The name of the association will be the "Rail-
way Equipment Trust Company of Pennsylva-
MIA" The capital has been fixed at "a, 200, OOO
and contracts have about been closed for the

Tho storm ON tho Carolina Coast,

TERRIBLE TORNADO AND DESTRUCTION At oHARLRs-
roN-DAMAaE AT WILMINGTON.
A despatch from Charleston, 8. c., says the
gale Of Monday was the severest known there
since 1854. 1t began about daybreak, the wind
being strong from the southeast, and increased
until o'clock, when it blew hurricane. For
an hour after, the storm was the most violent
ever known at Charleston. During the height
Of the gale, "the air WAS filed with states and
tin stripped from the roofs, making the streets
impassable." The massive brick walls Of the
new theatre were levelcd. The tide rose TO an
unprecedent height, inundating the whole river
front Of the city. Wharves were damaged, some
Of the pier heads were demolished, and the long
stone sea wall, known az the battery, was laid
in ruins. Most Of the shipping escaped serious
damage, the larger vessls being only chafed,
but some Of the smaller craft were wrecked.
The public bathing house was swept of, and its
| inmates were saved with difficulty. Two houses
| on Sullivan's Island are reported to have been
| carried away, one Of their inmates perishing.
| 1t Is estimated that $3.50. 900 will not meet the
damage done by the storm.
The storm at Wilmington, N. G., Ia described
N zone Of the heaviest ever experienced there.
The river rose very high, and telegraph lines,
| in all directions, were blown down. Much dam
| age was done in the rice lands by the over
| flow. The telegraph lines were repaired yester-
| day,

An Incident of she Fail River Fire

An Incident Of she FAIL River Fire.
The following incident is related Of the recent
fire at Fall River 1t is said that little fellow,
scarcely dozen years DID, jumped from one OF
the upper windows to the ground, and when the
spectators rushed forward to pick up the mangled
body they were astonished to zoe him spring to
his feet, apparently uninjuried, and start on a
run for his home. Bursting into the house in
breathless haste, he shouted to his mother,
" The mill is all on fire and then he suddenly
dropped to the floor lifeless, the fearful sixty
foot jump having resulted in fatal internal
injuries which the excitement Of tho moment
prevented his feeling.

The Prosperity Of Ireland and our Ex-
port Trade.

Many are Of opinion that the close Of the pres
ent decade will witness an end Of the decrease
in the population Of Ireland by emigration to
huior1cx, on account OF the stealIly Increasing
prosperity Of the former country and the present
equilibrium there between labor and employ
ment. While some classes continue to come to this
country, an important number Of other classes 20
back, and it is already an open question as to
which country offers the greater Inducements to
the immigrant; for while the condition Of sboring
people In Ireland is said to be Improving, in the
United States it has not been 30 prosperous as
formerly, notably since the panic. Our export
trade with Ireland direct is increasing steadily,
ing power, as her population is able to have
more and better food. The decrease in her pop
ulation from 1871 to 1851 was over 1000, 600 !;
1851 to 1861, 775,8OO and 1861 to 1871, 396, 800 :
while her Investments in 1864 were 1883, 900
lbs, against ", 362, 600 lbs. in 1874 For same
time her value OF live stock increased from
about 30, zoo, 900 lbs. to over 81, 20O, 900 lbs.

what Public MON arc to Newspapers.
The St. Louis Democrat, in very sensible ar
ticle on this subject, very pertinently says.
"Colonel Forney complains in . we'll written
article in the Philadelphia Press, that public
men are, rs class, ungrateful to the newspa-
pers and the journalists to whom they, in many
instances, owe their position. Nobody is more
competent to speak on this subject than Colo
mel Forney himself. He has made more states
men ont Of small material than any man in
America. He has taken more active part in
the personal Of American politics in the last
twenty years than almost any other man. Much
Of his work has been that OF journalist, but in
either capacity he has always been able TO serve
his friends well, aud he has always served them
faithfully. His reward has been very small II
lie had left politics alone and devoted himself
exclusively to journalism, he might have made a
greater name than dreeleys and greater for
tune than Benefits. But he was always very
fond Of helping some friend to an Office, and al
ways had taste for political intrigue with pur-
pose of this kind. His experience has, no
doubt, been that Of hundred others who have
operated in the same way on smaller scale.
Make Governor out Of an Alderman to-day, and
tomorrow he will tell you that he owes his ele-
walton to his own superior merits. Forney made
President out Of James BuchanAn--but before
the old public functionary had taken his seat he
repudiated his patentee and manufacturer in the
most ungrateful manner. Congressman arc
made by country newspapers-yet, when they &c
to Washington, it wouldn't be safe to tell them
30.
Garfield, rs an NJ. O. was invented by sew.
en-by- nine sheet, the editor OF which had pro-
badly mover seen i've dollar bill in his life and
Garfield would certainly be indignant now il
asked to give five dollars Of his back-pay to thai
man. Trumbull was first heard of, we believe
through little paper at Alton; and he was last
heard Of drawing his $1,000 grab. Ben Butte,
says he Was not made by the newspapers; but
then it must ever remain one Of the mysteries
| OF nature where Ben Butler came from, and
what object was in view in producing him. II
the grievance OF which Colonel Fornay complains
Is sore one, it is the fault Of those who are
aggrieved.
There is too much punery Of small men in
the newspapers nowadays-too much disposition
to exalt gentle dullness and smiable imbecility
into intellectual greatness and real ability Every
chuckle-head in Congress gets more praise from
the press Of his party now than could truthfully
have been bestowed upon Daniel Webster in his
palmiest days."

Favored by this most splendid weather, the
first annual fair at Middl,town proves to DO a
decisive SUCCESS The enthusiasm Of the people
supports it warmly, and the feeling is general
that there must be, henceforward, regular ex-
hibition, each year, Of Delawsre's products.
There is, in the show given us at Middletown,
this year, a pretty large share of horsehesh in
proportion to other articles, and a much less
quantity Of those fruits and vegetables which
form 80 large a part Of Delawares crops, but the
display, all things considered, is very good one
in the aggregate, and highly creditable to all con.
cerned. 1t gives good send-off to the enter
prise, and with handsome balance OF funds in
hand, the Association will feel like moving for
ward to new and greater undertakings, next year.

Of "Capitol Hill" in Philadelphia Press letter,
says Of General Buffers new houses "As q

aristocrAt and an old settler, aud to this purpose
he has bought delightful site on Capitol Hill
and is building q residence worthy Of the con-
struotor. This costly creation may be called a
stone trplet, AZ three houses will be born at tho
same time. The first faces the east, but it's
northern side sautes the capitol. 1t is said this
10 intended for agrand club house but the gam
bling will be exclusively confined to politics. All
this is in anticipation Of the grand hurdle race
which will probably come OIL IN 1876. The Sec
ond house remains mystery. The last has al
ready been rented to the coast survey for Ii
brary. Henceforth Capitol Hill claims General
