The purses for the different trotting classes
previously named have closed with six of
them full The 2:27 class could not be
filled, neither could the stallion and double
team classes, but a special premium of $4O0
has been offered for horses that have no bet
ter record than 2:40, which will be closed
on Saturday, October I'd. Another premium
will be offered, which is to be filed by
horses in the vicinity of Middletown, of
which sufficient number has been
entered. But three entries were made in
the 2:27 race, and of course the executive
committee found the number insufficient to
guarantee the race profitable, as the pre-

FOUNDING A TRAPPIsT MONASTERY IN
MARYLAND.-Thes severe Order of Trappist
Monks has sent an agent to this country
in the person of Brother Francis de Sales,
who has been commissioned to purchase
property in the State of Maryland, where
it is proposed to erect a monastery and
furnish it with grounds sufficiently exten-
sive for the pursuit Of agriculture, which IS
an important industry among the monks of
La Trappe. Two hundred monks, taken
from monasteries in Ireland, France and
Turkey, will occupy a house which Brother
Francis de Sales will temporarily rent, so
that during the erection of the monastery
and the laying out of the grounds the newly
arrived monks may make themselves
familiar with the customs of the country.
They are expected to arrive about Decem-
Der l.
The rules which bind the Trappists are
very stringent. Constant silence is one oi
their vows. They are permitted to eat nc
other food than vegetables and bread, water
alone being allowed for drink. They sleer
in their habit, or gown, on a low pallet, and
their bedroom is a small square inclOsure
formed by curtains. The bell-ringer arouse
them at two o'clock every morning, anC
after the few minutes allowed for thei
prayers at waking, another bell bids then
fall into line and move in solemn silence t.
their chapel. They toll unremittingl,
throughout the hours when prayer anC
deVotions are not in progress. All the bran
ches fthis Brotherhood are selfsupportine
and sufficient funds will be at hand to ali
Brother Francis de Sales in his new entel
prise. He is very hopeful of the success
his undertaking.-N. Y. Tribune.

Things are getting pretty badly mixed.
Here are the Democrats in Massachusetts,

in Maryland nominate for the second

whom the government thought necessary
to incarcerate as reasonable dlsunlOn-
ist while the Massachusetts Democratic
candidate was in the field. In New York
we see the Democratic ticket headed by
an old Republican, one OF Mr.. Lincoln's
Ministers, and the two original Republican
organs, the Post and Tribune, urging his
election, while the leading Republican can
didates were both officers under johnson,
and one of them is not known even to
have voted for Grant, while the other left

patibility. In Pennsylvania the Republi

THE TORNADO IN THE SOUTH.-The tremen-
dous storm which began at Galveston last
Wednesday, and continued with varying
force for several days, almost entirely des-
trOyed the town of Indianola, Texas.
This town is in Calhoun county, on. the
west shore of Matagorda bay. 1t is stated
that the lighthouses, wharves, and nearly
all the houses, have been swept away, and
four hundred lives lost.
At Galveston the tornado swept over a
region extending more than two hundred
miles from the coast. The tide rose twenty
feet along the coast of Texas. Ships lying
at the Galveston docks were destroyed.
One vessel, the australia, while loading with
cotton in the outer anchorage. was forced
from her moorings and driven a-l ....
miles from Galveston, and totally wrecked.
This hurricane, which has proved so
violent in Texas, started in the tropics some
days ago, displaying great violence in Cuba.
1t has followed a long season OF storms in
this country, and is almost simultaneous
with disastrous foods arising from extraor
dinary rainfalls which kilograms from
India, Central and Southern Europe, anC
from the Mississippi valley region Of thil
continent have announced in those local.
ties. The signal service bureau of thu
United States has vigilantly watched thi
storm and ordered cautionary signals at th'
various Atlantic posts. II is gratifying t
know that skillful observers are watching
the progress of these storms, and that ever.

in his editorial Of the 23d inst. Mr. Croas-
dale replied that he knew nothing at all

agent gave him to understand in pretty
plain language that the Department would
at all times be pleased to have any irregu-
larities of its officers reported to it; but at
the same time they did not consider that

A WILMINGTON MYsTERY.-The body of a
young lady named Mary Grubb, the daugh-
ter of well-to-do farmer near Wilmington
was found in the Christiana river last
Thursday afternoon, and a strange mystery
hangs over her death. On Sunday she
went from the house of Mr.. Price, of Will
mington where she had been visiting, to
visit friend in another street, but as she
did not return it was supposed that she had
gone home, and the folks home did not
suspect but that she was yet at Prices until
Thursday, and then the facts of her disap-
pearance were advertised in the papers.
Upon examination it was that found
her feet were tied together with her shoe
strings thus depriving her of any power to
save herself. She was very pretty and in
teresting young lady. At the coroner's
inquest it was testified by Mr.. Price, whom
she was visiting that she never had any
company" was aged about 2S or 80, and
never was known to take walk down the
Brandywne. Though she was sometimes
queer, she was as right as could be when
she left for church. She was sometimes
subject to spells, and would talk lightly.
William B. Wiley testified that he cut
her shoe strings, they being tied together
but not around the ankle, when the body
was found.
Bebecca A. Webster was near neighbor
and knew the deceased 6 or 7 years ago
She was a very quiet pious girl, and was
often unwell but not crazy. She had a bac
spell of brain fever about years ago, anC
was out of her head at that time, but con
sidered her no more insane than Othe

CHARLES FIsHER.-Says the Milford Nc,cs
The arrest of Charles G. Fisher, son Of
George z. Fisher, for felonous crime
committed at Washington, brings a good
deal of sorrow to the friends of the family
in this town and vicinity. The organic lack
of all moral consciousness on the part of
Charles is we'll known here, and his bad
deed creates no surprise but the warmest
sympathies of this community go out
towards his mother who is a native of this
town, and one of the purest and most
excellent of women. With this wayward
son she has labored day and night, both by
the best example that mother could set
before son, and the most persistent effort
to inculcate the highest moral and chris
tian precepts as well as by prayers and
tears, to lead him to higher moral life,
but without avail. There appears to be a
defect in his organization in consequence
of which he does not clearly realize the
enormous difference that exists between
right and wrong doing.
