A western paper sends this pleasant bon voy-
age after Miss Cary: 'That sweetest of moth
er Cary's' chickens is floating DER the briny
deep, and the Gear of all the Russias awaits
her! Sweet gull, with the voice of the bulbul,
garner in the roubles, and then come back to
marry countryman who talks through his
nose and is patriotic
1t is now stated that Piper of Boston, who
was arrested for the murder of Mabel H.
Young, is to be first tried for the murder of
Bridget Landergan. The detect ives working
the case think that the evidence against him
for the Landergan murder is stronger than that
connecting him with the belfry murder, and
the latter amounts to almost positive certain
ty.
The failure of j. b. Ford & Co. of New
York, turns out to be very bad one. The
committee of creditors, after examining the
affairs of the concern, recommend the accept
ance of 35 cents on the dollar, payable in in
stallments within fifteen months. If the cred
itors do not accept these terms and allow the
firm to continue, it is doubtful If half that
amount can be realized. The failure is attri-
buted by many to Mr.. Beechers loss of popu-
larity, but this is not in accordance with the
facts The firm had invested 800, 900 in a very
complete illustrated mechanical diction ary,
which, in consequence of the dullness of the
times met with almost no sale. There was al
so loss on account of Mr.. Beecbers inability
to finish the concluding volume of the "Life
of Christ" the sale of which was consequently
stopped, after $4,000 copies of the first volume
were sold. The Christian Union, Mr.. Beecher's
paper, has always been profitable, aud still
continues SO.

In New York the trade movement since our last
has been very moderate, owing to the continued in
activity in goods and the closing of large number
OF mills throughout New England. In MANY cases
manufacturers have ceased operating, to take ad-
vantage OF the dull season to make REPAIRS but not
few have closed wholly in consequence of the utter
stagnaton in goods. The prospects for the early fl-
ture are anything but encouraging, and holders of
raw material anxious to dispose of their present
supplies
In Philadelphia there is but little change to record
in the market; combing and medium fleece meet
good inquiry from manufacturers at full prices but
fine heeceS and fine unwashed are neglected. and
there is general disposition to realize There is

MASSACHUSETTS,.


Return to Work,
FALL RIVER, Aug. 1.-THE stoppage of the
mills appears to have been the very thing de-
sired by the agents and treasurers, several of
them having taken this occasion to visit the
several summer resorts in New England, the
starting up of the mills becoming secondary
matter with them, while on the other hand the
chief topic with the operatives is, "Shall We
return to work." This matter has been talked
oyer among the spinners, Monday next being
advocated by some of them though it has not
been brought before general meeting. 1t is
believed that if the mills were to open their
gates on Monday next, outside of the acknOwl-
edged leaders, there would be a general return
to work. The leaders even admit that quite
number are anxious. to do SO. Whether the
manufacturers will open their mills at the ex-
piration of the 80 days or not is only known to
themselves. 1t would not be surprising if they
adopted the suggestions of Mr.. Gunton, made
at the first meeting of the weavers, the
speaker opposing strike or the vacation, who
said: "Fellow operatives, before giving your
vote for either of these resolutions consider
we'll if you have the means of support for 60
days, and say go days. For if you vote to take
80 days on your own responsibility may not the
manufacturers say to you, You have taken 80
days an your own responsibility, now take 30
on ours.
1t is to be hoped, not only in behalf of the
operatives but for all classes of business in this
city, that before the 30 days expire the opera
tives will unanimously vote to resume their
work. Severdl of the mills whose pay days oc-
cur this week are promptly paying off.

A Triumph over Humbup.

The constant gain in popularity Of the national
remedy and preventive, Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
and the rapid decline of the ermented and nauseous
rubbish feebly bolstered up by false temperance
cry, exemplifes grand triumph of genuine merit
over rampant humbug, at which honest folks rejoice.
And well they may for each accession of popularity
to remedy which cures and prevents intermittent

general debility, widens the field of its benecent op

cry falling off in public favor Of pernicous COM

different. Let humbug for once hide its diminished

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
Alarming Repor, from Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1.-THE situation on
the river to-day is very critical From last
evening to 10 o'clock this morning the river
rose nearly two inches, and is now within half
an inch of the spring flood. Between 10 and
u last night a violent wind and rain storm
from the south swept over the city, and this
the river few miles below, and it is feared
that the wind has carried the water over some
places which were within a few inches of being
submerged, and has also damaged the newly
constructed levees.
