market closed shade easier. Timothy quot

to plant all their ground again, and urg-

Courthouse tonight to devise ways and
means for getting seed and determine
what it is best to SOW. In some localities

The grain markets attracted considerable at
tention from spectators, and quite an active
speculative business was transacted. Generally

The June shorts had generally made provision
for their contracts, and they were therefore in

movement in wheat and corn, and the reduc-
ton in the stock in store, together with con-
ficting crop reports, were the principal causes
of the advance established early in the week,
while the reaction toward the close was due to
increased offerings consequent upon the'de-

THE RIO GRANDE.

The exas Border i'm Perfect Ferment of
Observation-Disclosures Preparations on
Both Sides of the River.
A special dispatch from New Orleans
to the Chicago Inter Ocean, dated June
IL, says A San Antonio dispatch to-
night confirms my previous telegram
in relation to the object of the Indian
scout from Fort Couch. The scout has
now been abandoned, and the troops or
dered to the Rio Grande. Information
has also been received that the Navy De-
paEtment has ordered vessel of war to
the mouth of the Rio Grande. It is be-
ieved that a general movement of troops
will now be made to the Rio Grande, not
against the Mexican government, but
against Cortina and his followers, who
defy the authority of their own govern
ment, and are inimical and hos
tile to the Texans. 1t is rumored
that Gov. Coke has made a formal
demand on the President for assistance,
and it is thought Coke will organize
regiment or two of Texas minute-men to
go to the Rio Grande and look after the
Mexican robbers. The President is fully
informed of the events which have taken
place on the Rio Grande, and has issued
all the necessary orders relative to for
warding troops.
A Brownsville (Iexas) dispatch says
CIV. D. Thomas, a guide to the govern
ment troops, accidentally killed himself,
on Tuesday, near Saltillo ranch.
"The report that six Mexicans were
seen in the road near this place produced
much excitement. People are afraid to
leave the town. Every gun fred now on
the Mexican side Of the river is followed
by report that some one on this side
has been fired at.
"The latest sensation is that Cortina
has left Matamoras. A band of his
cattle-thieyes, called cavalry, were seen
above Matamoras yesterday"

The NEW SUPERINTENDENT -
The Union speaks thus flatteringly
Of Nlr. Harley Il Folsom, recently
appointed Superintendent of the
Passumpsic Railroad:
Five years ago, at the age of 20,
Harley took the position of clerk
in the Office of master Of transpor-
tation. On the resignation of Mr..
Alden, over two years ago. he was
promoted to the head OF the de-
partment. Now, as Superintendent
Merrill retires, he takes that place,
and the road won't suffer 10y the
change. We have known Harley
from boy. He came of likely pa.
renls, and before cutting loose from
the apron strings in the home Cir
Gle, was well instructed in the prin-
ciples of integrity and common
sense. After leaving school he be-
gan life as a clerk in Weeks store
and graduated from there to the
railroad Office. He tried for brief
period to SOW IA few wild oats but as
the practice went against the grain,
he settled down at once into an old
man and adopted the habits Of a
congregational clergyman, with the
Brooklyn part left out. In the past
Harley has been industrious, vigi-
liant and faithful to the interests of
his employers, and these are the very
elements just now needed in the
place he is to fill.

him to open the safe, from which he
took the $4,000 worth of unsign-

liz OIAIE Il AK Of 1910. Hc
twenty fifth annual exhibition OF
the Vermont state agricultural so
ciety and wool growers association
will be held on the grounds of the
Rutland county agricultural society
on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, September IA, Is, l6
and II. The premium list exceeds
six thousand dollars, making the
largest yet offered in the quarter
century of the society's existence.
The exhibition of horses bids fair
to exceed any previous show. The
farmers of the state Of late years
have given careful attention to the
breeding of horses of the best blood
and style, endeavoring in meas.
ure to recover the rank Vermont
once held for it's excellent horses.
Thirty of the best horses have al
ready been entered, one firm enter
ing II. Several families of horses
will be present, which will make of
themselves more than an ordinary
exhibition. The herds of fine cat
tie are rapidly increasing, many Of
which will be called out by the large
and attractive premiums in that de-
partment. The premiums in the
several classes of hort,horns, Dew.
ons, Ayrshires, Jerseys and native
cattle are made upon the same lib
eral basis, which will undoubtedly
draw together u good collection of
individual animals. Vermont's
best flocks both of merinoes, cots
wolds and southdowns will he rep
resented. The largest display Of
poultry yet seen in the state seems
probable. The entries for Mechan-
ics' hall are rapidly being filled, as
we'll as all the minor departments of
the exhibition. The prospects of a
successful fair were never more
promising at this period than for
the fair of 1875.
The annual address, as has al
ready been announced, will be de-
livered on the afternoon of Thurs
day, September lG, by Hon. Daniel
Needham of Boston, Secretary of
the New England agricultural soci-
ETY., who was for many years

ed to the welfare and advancement
