INCREASE OF PosrAL.. BUsrNEss.-Re-
ports just made by Third Assistant Post
mastsr General Barber show that l07,.
$4,000 postal cards were issued during
the fiscal year which ended June 80 last
against 91,079,000 issued for the year
which ended June 80, 1874. The in.
crease is equivalent to about Is &c per
cent, which shows that the postal cards
are growing in popular favor as n means
of intercommunication. The value of

ring the year which ended June so, 1875,

Decrease OF Exports.

A statistical abstract Of the foreign
trade OF the United States shows de-
crease of S67 ,0O0,OO in the currency
value OF the exports of domestic pro-
ducc during the first eleven months of
the fiscal year fs7475. The main part
OF the decrease has arisen upon the fol-
lowing nine articles: all of them leading
staples of export: Flour wheat, cotton,
petroleum. bacon and hams, spirits tur-
pentine, tallow, leaf tobacco and timber
In the nine. articles here alluded TO there
has been decrease of 1900, 000.-
About Si0,o00,000 Of the falling Off has
arisen on wheat and -four. and, az is
shown by the New York Bul,tia, is
traceable partly to the lower prices Of
those articles-wheat having averaged
80 cents lower than for the previous year
and partly also to the holding back OF
the gain in the interior. The decrease OF
S23,SOO,O00 in cotton is attributable al
most entirely to the reduced quantity
exported, the price having averaged on
ly half cent lower. In petroleum there
is decrease Of 50, 600, 200, the reduction
having arisen from diminution of 20.
100000 gallons in the export and de-
cline In the average price of3f cents per
gallon. In bacon and hams there is a
decrease of nearly 80 per cent in the
quantity shipped, while the reduction in
the aggregate value is only 12i per cent,
the price in this case having averaged
higher than the previous year, & in conse-
quence limited the export; and the same
rule applies also to allow. In tobacco
we have decrease of $4,000, 900 i'm the
value of the exports and of 81, 500, 900
pounds in the quantity shipped, the
price having averaged 81 cents against
III cents the year previous. The prin.
cipal articles that show an increase in
the value of the exports are corn. furs.
hides, hops, firearms, leather. oilcake,
cheese and lard. These facts show that
the falling off in the exports has been
mainly connected with diminution in
the surplus of products available for
shi )ment.-Bdtimore Sun.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN MoNEY.-Some
weeks since young man named Arthur
+. Gait, clerk in the Lynchburg VA, }
National Bank, ran away from that city,
taking with him $4,000 of the bank
money. n few days since the officers
of the bank received letter signed M
III. Morgan" and dated Yosemite Valley,
California, enclosing acknowledged Mt
of money deposited with Vermillyer &
Co., Bankers, New York. The Lynch
burg Bank at once sent an agent to New
York, and being convinced that M. ii.
Morgan" was the missing clerk. Gait,
the New York bankers at once paid over
the amount on deposit, $4,000. The
supposition is that Gait having deposit
ed the money in an assumed name was
unable to get it out again, and that he
made virtue ofnecessity and reported
it so that it might be returned to the
bank. While in New York, the bank
er's agent heard that Gait had left n
trunk ut Montreal He proceeded there,
and opening it found $1,000 in money.
Gait is still at large.

A GREY-HEADED CLERGYMAN GOES
AsTRAY.-The Commission appointed by
Bishop McTyeire, of the NJ. E. Church
South, at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was
in session on the 10th and 18th instants,
investigating the ministerial misconduct
of Rev. j. w. Hammer, sr., Presiding
Elder Of that district. He admitted hav-
ing sent an anonymous letter to re-
spectacle young lady named Paralee
Mailer, conceiving desire for close in
timacy, and referring her to certain pas
sages in the Songs of Solomon. The
letter was inclosed in an envelope with
the letter-head Of the Southern Metho-
dist Publishing House. Her brother,
thinking it related to matter of bust.
ness, opened and read its contents. The
Commission completely indicated the
character of Miss Mailer. Hammer is
60 years old, gray-headed, and has
served in the ministry forty years. He
was one of the most prominent as well
rs eloquent men of the Church. The
matter creates a great deal of excite
ment throughout the State. The Com
mission rendered verdict of guilty
of un-christian conduct, and the Bishop
pronounced his suspension from office
until the next session of the Tennessee
Annual Conference.

THE BLACKBERRY CRor.-It appears
that North Carolina furnished three
fourths of the dried blackberry crop of
this 900 barrels out of 90
600 raised. A Georgia contemporary
does not wish to see its State waste any

contends that drying blackberries at 81

than raising cotton al ID cents.
