GRAIN TRADE.-The Baltimore grain mar
ket last week was very active, something rp},l7
sual in the month Of July. The reports from
Europe, however, represent the crops there
a., unpromising, in consequence of the rains,
which caused buoyancy in the American marts.
The San Of the 18th says:
Crop reports from the West indicate heavy
yield. On Saturday there were sales at the
Baltimore Exchange of $4,000 bushels Of corn
at from 81 to S4a cents; wheat sold from $l.25
to SLAB. The shipments to foreign ports on
Saturday were 70, 1856 bushels corn, and on Fri
day shipments were made of al 900 bushels
wheat and 10000 bushels corn. The stocks in
the elevators are light at present, being on Fri
day S0,77l bushels wheat and 346,695 bushels
corn. The receipts from the West will doubt
less be heavier hereafter, and the indications
for, large grain trade the remainder of the
summer. New oats sold on Saturday at from
81 to 6S cents.

his brothers. wife, he insisted on her to take a

He then Immediately caught hold OF her and

and pteous cries for assistance, he succeeded
in his ''hellish" design and perpetrate'l a cruel
outrage Gu Mcpherson and then fed When the
forlly-wronged brother arrived home, he found

| THAT Boy GEORGE.-Doubtless every fond
parent imagnes that has boy is by long. odds
the cunningest. smartest, best and most truth
full OF all the boys of the neighborhood, and
while INDUCING in such thoughts pictures a
bright aad brilliant future for the prop of his
declining years. just such q parent was des-
cantng with much fervency on the many no
BILE qualities Of his son the other evening and
among numerous other things, mentioned to
boy to be guilty of any msdemeanor which he
did not at once confess, and furthermore, that
though he was twelve gears old, he had never
been known to tell a lie. The friend, who re-
membered that he had once been boy himself
received tile statement with a good deal of seas
oning and the youths escutcheon might have
remained unsullied to this day, had it not oc-
CURED to his father to demonstrate his asser-
ton by the most rigid Of tests:

ket of nice June apples. Put dozen on the
waiter, take one yourself and bring your little
sister one. Now hurry I"

time returned, set the apples on the table and
was about to retire, when the father remark
| ed:
"Ah that's good boy. Did you bring
your sister one
Yes sir.''
''Took only one YOURSELF"
Yes sir.''
The old gentleman cast look of pride at
the boy and one of triumph at the visitor,
when the latter noting the inflated appearance
of Georges pockets, called the attention OF the
paternal to the necessity of having the child's
clothes cut by different tailor, as placed the
young hopeful in rather embarrassing posi-
ton to be compelled to sport such trowsers in
apple time.
The observation caused the bland smile to
fade from the generous countenance and in
tones of the deepest bass he demanded
What have you got in that pocket, sir?''
(which pocket, sir? This one? Why that's
ball, sir"
~Well sir, what is that in the other pockct?'
sits top, sir, in this other pocket
whats that in your bosom, you grand
scamp you Come here?"
"Oh 7 rlr never do it no more ~ shrieked
little George Washington, as the paternal slip
pef descended with fearful velocity on the ga
BILE end of the tell-tale trowsers and the golden
fruit rolled to the farthest end Of the ROOM
Little George has kept his promise ever since,
but the old gentleman always sends the ser

THE POSTAL LAW TEST CAsE.-Tlfe Post
master General requested the Attorney Cen
cral to designate counsel to attend to the APP
.plication pending in the United States Circuit
Court in New York for mandamrts to compel
the Postmaster at New York to receive, a book
package for mail transmission to Philadelphia
at old rates. The Postmaster General says he
knows but little of the merits of the case, fur
ther than the postmaster was acting in the line
with his duty in accordance with the law.
Judge Spence, Assistant Attorney General
for the Postofice Department, states that there
may be some plausible grounds for the position
taken by the plaintiff in this case, but that de-
cison in favor of the mandamus would greatly
confuse the service, as there were several i'm
portant amendments in the law which origina-
ted in the Senate, among them the new law
concerning the postage on newspapers &C. sent
from the office Of publication, all of which
would be thrown back upon the old law II the
mandamus should be granted. :
