THE COTTON CROP OF IS16.-Some inter-
estin facts relative 10 the cotton crop for
the year ending September 1, 1876, cuIled
from q circular issued from the office of the
Commercial and Financial Chronicle, are
herewith presented The total crop for the
year reaches 4.669, 2sS bales. This is the lar
gest crop raised since the close OF the war
and next TO the largest ever produced, being
within few hundred bales of the crop OF
ls59-'6O, which reached 1859, ITO bales. Toe
spinpers during the past year have taken
l,356, 1913 bales; ,252, 994 bales have been ex-
ported, leaving on hand q stock Of 100, $50
bales During the year spindles have gener-
ally been active but not pressed. Trade has
been hfeless, and the prices obtained have
been unremunerRtive. 1t has been an un-
usual period with cotton manufacturers all
over the world. 1t is thought. however, that
there Will soon be an Improvement in the
condition Of affairs, and with q return OF
better prices all the mills will be put In ope-
ration again. There has been 9 slow but
steady increase in the export OF drst- class
'abrics, and 1t Is thought likely that this
will proceed without interruption. Tue
prospect for the coming year Is thought to
be very encouraging. There have been no
marked changes in the south. While some
new mills have been started, others have
suspended and others have been running on
short time. or the Sea Island oottOn-a
highly-prixed Quality-the total growth this
year has been as follows: Florida, $3.50 bales;

A CLERGYMAN's UNHAPPY HoME.-The

A CLERGYMAN's UNHAPPY HoMK-The
Springfield Republican says that the trial of
Rev. G. L. Lothrop for cruelty 70 his family
was begun before the First Church, Amherst,
MASS In secret session, Monday evening,
the accused not being present. The testi-
mony covered the training of the three
daughters from their infancy up. and was OF
the most revolving character, involving bru-
tai hoisewhipping for trivial offences, sys-
tematic starving, feeding of rotten meat,
and positive dishonesty and faithlessuess In
his family relations. The climax OF this
family history was the determination of sui
eide last spring on the part of Mary, eighteen
years old. The reading of a letter to her
older sister TO that effect before the church
produced the profoundest sensation, melting
many to tears. Rev. Mr.. Jenkins testified as
to how he saved the girls life by the greatest
effort, and by finally taking her into his
own home. Her arms were found to be black
and blue from recent beatIngs, and her
clothing mtserably insufficient. He induced
her To promise not TO take morphine as long
as was cared for. II was also brought out
that Mr.. Lothrop's threats TO relati YES who
have heretofore known OF his lnhumanity
have kept the matter secret.
