The Law of Horse Hire.

1t has been decided that when a horse
or carriage has been let out for hire for
the purpose of performing a particular
journey, the party letting warrants the
horse or carriage fit and competent Tor
such a journey. ii the hirer treats the
horse or carriage as any prudent man
would do, he Is not answerable for any
damage that either may receive. But
he must use the horse for the purpose
for which he hired him. For instance,
a horse hired for saddle, must not be
used in harness. If tie hirer violates
this express condition Of the contract
he is liable for any damage hat may
occur. II the horse is stolen through
the hirer's negligence, such as leaving
the stable door open all night, he must
answer for it. But If he is robbed of it
by highwaymen, when travelling the
usual road at usual hours, he can not he
held for damages. AS these questions
are frequently in dispute, these decisions
may be intoresting.-RuraL SIN.

AT the recent convention OF English
ard American cotton-dealers, held in
Liverpool, resolutions we're adopted to
the effect that, in reference to cotton
sold ''to arrive" arbitration upon the
qualityshould be based upon grade, and
that the value should be fixed according
TO the official quotations of the day
that the Liverpool drawn samples of
American cotton are, on an average,
worse in appearance, and consequently
In class, by 1-l6d. to I'd. per pound than
those drawn in America before the
cotton is compressed, and that q severe
pressure will further d~eteriorate the
class; that it is desirable that cot
ton should be sold in America at its
net weight; that the same system OF
sampling and the same classification OF
American cotton should be adopted in
all European and American markets,
according to the standards to be fur
nished by the Liverpool Association, to
be ratified by the American National
Exchange.

REPORTS have been received at the
Illinois State Department of Agricul-
ture, showing tho condition Of crops in
the several counties Of the State on the
10th of August. It appears that the
corn prospect Is a little less than n full
average crop, while in some of the best
corn districts tho yield will be unprece-
dented. Spring wheat has been almost
a failure throughout the State, caused
by rust and wet weather. The same is
true in regard to oats, the crop being
generally very short as to measurement
and light as to weight. The hay crop
is unusually large, and most of it saved
in good condition. There will be a large
yield of Irish and sweet potatoes. The
fruit crop promises well, although many
orchards have suffered from blight and
worms.

Dead Bodies of u Man, Woman
and Child F0und..Suicide.

ST. LOUIS, June 3.-The dead bodies Of
a man, woman, and girl about three
years dld, we're found in a secluded part
Of the woods near Belleville, Illinois, yes
terday afternoon. The woman and child
were shot through the head, and the man
in tie heart. The parties are unknown.
From the position OF the bodies and the
manner in which they were arranged, it
is supposed the man shot his wife and
child and then killed himself. Persons
living near by heard three shots about
sunset Thursday night, and 1t is believed
this frightiul tragedy was enacted at that
time. The Coroner's inquest to-day will
probably unrayel the mystery now sur
rounding the case.
VIM. Berger and another imam, name
unknown, committed suicide last evening,
one by jumping into the river from the
ierryboat, and the other from the wharf
boat at the foot Of Olive street.

left q trunk at the Tiemann House, in
which was found photographs Of all the
deceased, made by George Becker, Of
Evansville, and hymn book with the

position is the woman was n sister OF

that Mr.. Bristow does not gain strength
