A most singular and ghastly form OF Joking
: ii joking it can be called-has lately made
its appearance in Philadelphia. Within a
week past the death of no less than three we'll
known citizens has been announced and pub
lished, only to paralyze with wonderment the
alleged dead men next morning at their break
fast tables. First it was Francis Blackburne.
Jr., a prominent business man, who was the
victim to, the fell destroyer; next it was Cor
oner Goddard, and then it was no less per
son than DR.. Stille, Provost of the Pennsyl-
vania University. In the latter case the out
rage was aggravated by his death being made
the theme for the obituary poet Of the Ledger.
The perpetrator has thus f4r escaped punish-
ment.
At late session of the convention of the
Christian Missionary Society 0: America, at
Louisville, a report recommending the raising
of fund, to be known as the centennial fund.
to amount to 100000, was adopted The
money thus raised will be used for the ad-
vancement of objects Of the association and
the enlightenment and chris:ianiza. on of ne.
grocs in America, many of which, the society
seems to think, are in depraved condition.
There is an effort on foot to collect the
facts in regard to the medical and sanitary his
tory of the Andersonville prison. and OF all
prisons and hospitals established by the Con-
}ederate authorities for the safe keeping and
treatment of Federal p. isoners. The surgeon
general Of the army is cooperating.
In the government tax case of the iii

cisi6n In Fart adverse to the claim of the Com

that certain portion OF receipts from notes
given in payment for lands sold by the COM
pany must be considered as net profits, and

Personal and Political.

In 1868, George H Stewart, who figured
prominently in the "Chr,stian Commission

since, was suspended from membership in the
Reformed Presbyterian Church, because he
dared to sing other hymns than those found
in the antiquated ''Rouse's Version of the
Psalms, ," aud communed with the heretics Of
other churches. The Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania has rendered decision which
enables Stuart and his party to retain the
church property from which they were elected
after the suspension.
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Judge
Ryan presiding, has rendered decision in
the case of the canvassers tor Wood and Lin-
coin versus the county officers Of these coun-
ties, against tile canvassers, and Rning the
canvassing officers the sum Of $500. This &C.
ton would in justice give the Congressman

Gen. Solomon Meredith died at his home at
Cambridge City, Ind, Thursday the 2lst Gen.
Meredith was prominent man of his Sec
ton, and greatly respected not only at home
but wherever known, for his personal worth
and sterling integrity. Gen. Meredith entered
the war of the rebellion as the Colonel Of the
18th Indiana. After something less than
years service he was promoted to Brigadier
General, and assigned to the command of the
"Old Iron Brigade LIST corps. army OF the Po-
tomac, from which he w:s transferred shortly
after to the southwest. Though not brilliant
as military man, his enthusiasm for the cause
and person al courage when in places of dan
ger, won for him the respect of the so diers
under his command, who will now hear of his
death with regret Since the war the General
has been one OF the most successful stock
breeders in the west.
The Hon. R. F. Davis, oldest son of the late
Senator Garrett Davis of Paris, KY, was found

A London telegram OF the Z5th gives
SYNOPSIS of the market review Of the
Mark Lane Erpress for the previous
week: Another week of storms and
foods, with great extent Of damage,
has further deferred the autumn's SOW
ing. Nothing could have been much
worse. for the condition Of samples and
the abundance of foreign old wheat seems
to be the chief security from wholesome
dread. The more we know. of the crops
of 1875, the less satisfaction it gives.
France about maintains her rates. Bel
sium and Holland are rather dearer
Germany gensrally very steady, but
Danzig is higher. Prices At st. Peters
burg, Vienna and in Hungary are higher
