BOSTON, April lS.-The wool market
has been quiet since our last report, and
there is little OF interest to record, The
sales OF fine fleece wools have been
confined almost entirely to small lots.
and there has been hardly enough do
ing in these styles to establish quota.
tions. There is fair degree Of firm
ness in the market, and We hear OF no
sales at any material concession. Ii
would be difficult, however, to move
any large lines. except by yielding
something from recent quotations.
Manufacturers find little improvement
in the demand for goods. and some OF
those who are making low grades OF
cloths are stopping part OF their ma
chinery. Thoee who are turning out
foe work sre having . isir demand for
their goods at moderate prices. There
seems to be no desire on the part OF
even dealers TO advance prices with the
new clip approaching. and as only
few OF the dealers have heavy stocks
the tendency is to keep along about ss
now for The present.
1t will be OF inierest to our readers in
comparing the stocks OF foreign wool
in this country this year with those
last year, to note the falling of. We
are indebted to George +. Moore 4 Co.,
OF this city, for the following figures, in
advance from their forthcoming cir
cular: Amount OF foreign wool in
bonded warehouses in Boston, April |.
1874, 2,S20.32l lbs against l0.546.s77
lbs at the same time in 1873. The
amount OF foreign wool in bonded ware
houses in New York. April !. 1874,
was 1854 400 lbs against l6,954.S56
lbs at the came date last year, the ag-
gregate decrease OF foreign wool at
these two ports being 20,7J6, ,944 lbs.
There Is considerable South Ameri-
can wool on the way 10 Boston and
New York, some OF it near by.
The mex; Liverpool sales opens on
the 2Sth and is looked for with consid-
erable interest. Should the closing
prices OF the last sale be maintained.
there would probably be no wool
bought on American account, as that
purchased at the last sale paid too
small profit 10 induce q repetition OF
the venture in the face OF the new crop.
Late mail advices are 10 the effect that
English dealers are making contracts
for wool in advance OF the sale, which
indicates belief that prices are to be
higher Commercial Bulletin
Harding, Gray Il Dewey. ol Boston,
write as follows:
The market for wool continued COM
psra,ively quiet until the close OF The
week, when quiet q number OF buyers
made their appearance. and the trans
actions during the past three days have
been quite large, the sales indicating a
good business. 1t is very evident that
manufacturers are short Of stock. and
will be compelled to purchase copsid-
erable wool every week to keep their
machinery running. Notwithstanding
the comparatively large sales, the mar
ket has been quite free from excite.
ment. There is no speculative demand
whatever, and holders are anxious 20
close up stocks as fast as possible at
the current rates. Were it not for the
comparatively small stocks Of wool in
dealers and manufacturer handr,
there would be q decided break in
prices, the goods market for some
months past has been 30 discouragirg.

JUDGE EpMoNDs, OF New York, a
noted spiritualist who died few weeks
ago, has, since that event, informed
some Of his spiritualis!ic friends in the
mysterious manner common TO the
mediums" that his joy is complete,
and that all his anticipations have been
realized. The editor Of the Wezel
county VIndieator, however, assures
the Judge and all others that he is Ia
Lorlng under an erroneous impression
and that he is not half 90 happy as he
will be after while. II there is or is
not any truth at all in the theories
of the spirituslists, this effort
OF a West Virginia editor
to tell Judge EDMoNDs more about the
future world than he now knows him-
SELF, strikes US as the climax OF all that
is ridiculous. The Moundsville Ma
tiona! must yield the palm.

Fatal Accident I'm Hardy County.

James Sommerville, son OF Mr.. Al-
exander Sommerville, OF Hardy county,
whilst engaged in trimming apple trees
in his fathers orchard on Saturday the
llth inst., was evidently struck on the
head with the butt end of limb which
he had just severed, and knocked from
his position. In his fall one OF his feet
caug hit in the fork Of the tree and he
hung with his head down for a short
time; when released he was uucon-
scious and remained in that condition
until his death, which occurred at 3
o'clock on Monday morning. he was
a very promising young man-not yet
eighteen years OF sge, and this sad
event has fallen crushingly upon his
parents and family.
These particulars OF the accident are
taken from the Romney Intsiligencer.

Simon Girty, the "whIte Savage"

In the stirring times OF the Old Pi-
oneers, no name on the whole border
was so widely known or so universally
dreaded as that OF Simon Girty, "The
White Savage" as called by Heckewel-'
der. From IT'S, when Glrty, Elliott,
Mckee and other we'll known tories
fled TO the Indians from Fort Pitt, now
Pittsburgh), down to 1894. when the
power OF the Ohio tribes was forever
crushed by Mad Anthony Wayne,
scarce q msraud, massacre or scalplng
raid occurred but what the Girtys-tor
there were three brothers OF them, all
operating with the western Indians
were at the bottom OF them. The hated
name was q terror in every borderer
cabin, and it's mere mention would
cause womeu's cheeks to blauch and
children's hair to stand with fear.
Charles Mcknight, Editor Of the IL
lustrated Peoples Monthly of Pitts"
burgh, and author OF "Old Fort Du-
uuesne, or Captain Jack, the Scout"
said BY Bancroft, Stone, DeHaas,
and other competent critics, to be the
truest Historical Novel ever written
and by all odds the best border book
since the days OF Cooper-has just com
menced in the monthly thrilling and
intensely interesting Historical Serial
called Simon Girty, the Renegade
The time selected is 17S2, when the
whole frontier was ruthlessly sceurgec
by the savages, backed by tory and
British leaders, embracing the Mora
Wan massacre, on the Muskingum
Crawfords horrible torture, at the
Ssndusky towns; the second siege o
Ft. Henry, (Wheeling); the burning o.
Hsunahstown, and the terrible battle
of the Blue Licks, Ky.
Truly a stirring and bloody period
when such Indian trackers and slayer
as Boone, Kenton, the Poes, and tn
Wetzels smote the savages "hip an
thigh" The Peoples Monthly is nov

By which the amendments to the FL

agreed to several days ago, and said
these amendments were concprfed In
early after the meeting OF the Senate
and before a number OF Senators were

upon the amendment OF the Finsnce
Committee to strike out the amend
ment in the House bill that the canal
should not be taken possession OF, nor
any money paid, but the State Of Ken
tucky should cede to the United States
the Jurisdiction over the same, together
with the right to tax property, and 1t
was adopted by yeas 40 to nays 4. The
bill now goes back to the House Tor the

SOMEBODY will get hurt in that Ar
kansas foollshness il il is persisted IN
much longer. The adherents OF the
two Governors are simply two armed
mobs composed mainly OF negroes
whose rage is stimulated by inflsmms-
tory haraugues made by designing
politicians, until they are ready to COM
NIT murder or any other crime in the
calendar. The position Of the United
States officers is rather a delegate one
They are forbidden to favor either side
Of the quarrel, but are commanded to
keep the peace and prevent bloodshed
Thus far they seem to have had
much less difficulty in hold
ing the Brooks men than IL
restraining the BAXTER crowd. The
Brooks men act upon the defensive
they are in possession nt the nffice'
and all they want is ITO be let alone.
The United States troops stand between
them and danger, and would doubles
be compelled to join with them in re
pulsing an attack upon the State House
Whatever may be the result OF the row
BAXTER has shown himself bad Gov
ernor in that he is himself setting tn
bad example of attempting by violenc
to set aside the decree OF a lawiu
