hunting Tor deer, and, after some time,
becoming separated in the course OF their
hunt and the son percriying commotion
in the bushes near him, thought it was
caused by deer, raised his gun, double
barreled one, and fred al the place. His
father, who i, seems, had been creeping
through the brush on his hands and
knees, arose and ran toward his son tell
ing him not to shoot again. But too late,
his son had pulled the trigger Of the 9th.
er barrel and shot his father, killing
him almost instantly. The young man
has become insane in consequence Of his
sad and terrible mistake,
a HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Mr.. Manning Martin, one Of the Oldest
and most respectable citizens, living on
Point Pleasant Creek, met his death in .
horrible manner few weeks ago. He got
uRin the morning, built fire in the kitchen
as he had been in the habit Of doing, and
in short time aiterward was found by
the family near the we'll in the yard quite
dead. with gun near him; and upon ex-
animation Of his body il was found that 4
charge from the gun had entered Just be-
low the ribs and ranged up through his
heart, killing him instantly, Just how
the accident occurred Is not known. No
report Of the gun was heard by any OF the
family, and this was accounted for by the
closeness Of the muule to his side, the
muLLle OF the gun having left its impress
sion on his side.
An inquest has been held over the body,
but | have not been able to learn what
the verdict was.

An APPEAL To lRlsHNES.-S0me one
has sent US communication signed AN
Irishman,n in which sundry reasons are
set forth why Irishmen should not vote
for the Democratic nominee at the APP
preaching election Tor State Senator on
the 7th. The writer alleges that not
withstanding the large and influential
support given to the Democratic party
by Irishmen, yet they have been com
pelled to take a back seat in the matter
OF emoluments. lie appeals to his coun.
trymcn to remember how two OF their
friends were treated at the last election,
who were candidates Tor Justice OF the
Peace, and show far behind their ticket
they ram He says that lrishmen have
received but zone empty title from the
party in power in this State. Had
there BEEN he says, ian! emoluments
attached to it | expect the gentleman
would not have got it, The case re-
ierred to is not explained, and We are left
to conjecture that the writer may posi-
bly, allude to the Colonclcy Of our friend
OBrien on the Gubernatorial staff. The
writer suggests tina, it Is about time for
Irishmen to hold off from supporting the
Democratic party and let the leaders
learn a much needed lesson.

wholesale market. The decline in the
retail market is more varied, and it Is
impossible 10 form any estimate. OF
course the retail market sympathiEes
with the decline in the wholesale market,
but owing to the large volume OF snug
gled goods brought in last year, the
clearing by auCtioneers and the breaks
by large houses, who, TO force the market
and 10 stimulate business, mark par.
ticular invoice down 10 or below actual
cost. some retailers are enabled 10 sell
away below Others. This Is shown in the
cotton sales by II. L, Clatin X Co., that
caused such commOtiou in the market
last week. These "brraks' are princi-
pally in domestic manufactures OF an UNI
salable or undesirable quality or style,
and do not extend to imporIations to any
great extent.
In some retail houses certain goods
were found thirty per cent less than last
years prices; in others the same goods
were held at decline Of ten or twelve, in
another at decline Of fifteen or twenty
per cent. Some firms seem to have been
taking advantage Of "breaks' and auc-
tions, and therefore have marked prices
down and do a driving trade, while
those who have not taken such chances
have marked their goods accordingly at
a figure nearer last years rulings.
An INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE MAR
KET
is the progress being made by American
manufacturers in improving the quality
OF their goods. II was only 4 little while
ago that the great volume OF the cotton
goods sold and consumed in this country
was made Of American cotton in Man.
chester, England, and shipped back here,
Our mills failed to successfully compete
with those OF Great Britain, but the times
are changing, and now We find that We
can successfully compete in foreign mar.
kets with Great Britain in certain manu-.
features. This is especially so in tlan.
nels. Our manufacture il OF SO high a
grade that importatiOns have been crow
ed out, and to-day the mills OF New Eng
land produce better article than any
other country in the world. American
drills and brown shirtings, too, are be-
coming very popular and in great de
mand in China over the English product.
Several American houses are exporting
goods to China and India and successfully
competing with the Engishmen. One
house in this city within few weeks has
shipped to China 5000 packages OF brown
shiriings and drills and have other orders
on file to be filled. 1t is also understood
that some shipments OF bleached muslin'
are being made.

The Drowning OF Two Hundred
PiIgriInS In lnlin.

from the Madras Mlll.COrSPondeEce from Ma
dura, August
Intelligence has been received at this
station Of irightful catastrophe, which
beiell a party OF pilgrims to the Mahaling-
am shrine, on the Tinnevelly frontier, on
the evening Of sunday last. Ii We are 10
believe the reports OF returned pilgrims,
more than two hundred persons were
drowned under circumstances OF the most
heartrending character, Thirty-three OF
the Madura Pilgrims have been either
carried away by the mountain torrents or
are missing; and it is irightiul TO think
how many more, from Tinneyelly or other
parts, may have shared the same fate,
The shrine in question stands on the
summit Of one OF the Saduragiri hills
literally four hills which form portion
Of the Sapoor estate, though included in
the Tinneyelly district, The direction
from Madura is south.southwest, and the
distance nearly fifty miles, What partic.
ular manifestation OF silva this shrine was
built to commemorate cannot at present
tell, nor is il known where the first devo.
tee from whom the present one traces an
unbroken line Of succession established
himself; but, however that might have
been, thousands Of people from all parts
OF the country flock thiIher in this part Of
the year to get cured Of fancied or real
evils, and, ii possible, to lay by a store Of
blessings for themselves and their children
From the base Of the hill long circuitous
path leads up TO the shrine, for distance
OF ten miles or so, along fearful chasms,
and deep, meandering mountain torrents,
and through meshes Of cane.barke or other
underwood. The pilgrims arrived at the
shrine, used to pass a night or so in the
Jungle without anything like roof over
their heads. The dry bed Of the mount.
ain torrent that skirts the shrine used to
be their quarters; and there they cooked
and ate their meals, sung and danced, and
otherwise made themselves comfortable.
On the evening Of Sunday last there was
the same spectacle a. used TO be in former
ycars-thOsands Of men, women and chill.
dren were talking. or eating, or dancing
in the sandy bed hundreds Of sheep and
fowls, brought upto I've sacrificed, stood in
mourniul groups each waiting its turn; ;
some pilgrims, more religious than the
rest, were rolling in front Of the shrine
or performing other equally curious
eyolutions-in tact, everything went on
without hitch. At or. N. there was q
tremendous shower Of rain, ten minutes
later, the hitherto dry bed was full, and
the water rushed down headlong carrying
tb,.n ,vLn roull upt iprpa thptr Wuy
through the crowd, and the general con-
fusion was rendered itill more dreadful by
the darkness. Many dead bodies inter.
copied by roots and bushes were picked
up in the bed; a good many were seen
floating on towards the Waptrap tank
some were found jammed between stones,
and only very few Of the ill.starred
lot saved themselves by catching hold Of
some friendly bough.

Speculations as TO the Course of the Go
vernment i'm Regard to the Change
In Spain, dc. ....,..-
WASHINGTON, January 4.-The recent
change in the Spanish Government naturally
occasions comment as to what course our
Government will pursue concerning it. Al
ready there is much speculation connected
with the unsettled questions between the
United States and Spain, involving those
growing out Of the Virginius affair.
The mere fact that the President and Sec:
retary Fish, in common with all public men
aud citizens generally, have recently con-
versed upon the subject Of the change Of
government certainly does not justify
The assertion that more vigorous
policy than heretofore will characterize the
Executive, or that these gentlemen are not
in accord relative to the Cuban and
kindred questions. Both of the above.
named gentlemen are known to be OF the
same opinion respecting them, the Secretary
always rejecting the views of the President
in bis official communications. 1t may there
fore be safely said that there is no divergence
of views between them.
1t cannot of course be stated precisely
what our Government will or will not do
in the present state Of affairs. as but
little is accurately known here of the
condition of things in Spain beyond
the general fact that the monarchy bas
been restored and Alfonso declared King,
and this with the apparent acquiescence of
the people. There is no doubt, however,
that our Government will not be less urgent
now than In the past for settlement of the
pending questions 80 closely affecting the
interests of the United States, and that the
negotiations which were commenced with
the late Government will continue.
