flattering as at first appearance. In
this connection it is curious to note
the fact that the average gold value
of silver dollar is Sc ceats, while
the greenback is worth So.

CATTLE-The market is very dull.
some twenty head remain in the yards
unsold, and as many more have been re-
turned to pasture.
HoGs-There is no call for anything
but good bacon hogs. and it is only in a
retail way they will bring 6lc. A couple
of sales were made at 6sc.
Sheep and lambs are very dull. The
supply greatly exceeds the demand.
Over 40 head were sent away yesterday,
unsold. There were some good lambs IN
the lot which were offered at 4lc, but
there were no buyers. Out OF lot OF 81
head of lambs yesterday, the pick OF six
head was allowed at SC.
Cows-Only moderate demand.
CALvEs-Dull.
the market shows a downward ten
tency all through, with indications of
lower prices next week, particularly If
there are many arrivals next week. 1t
will be noticed that our own market
sympathizes with that of Baltimore,
which is in demorslized condition.

The summer-resort season will last
longer than usual this year. He'll is to be
let loose in New York about the middle
of September. That is, they are going to
blow up "Hell Gate with three or four
thousand tons OF dynamite at that time,
and q feeling OF anxiety pervades the
bosoms of fashionable circles in conse-
ouence. There is no knowing exactly
what the result will be, but there is q
general disposition among Gothamltes to
dodge the blarsted thing If possible.
Scientists are Of the opinion that if the
world is favorable, Long Island, New
York below Union square, and all OF New
Jersey will be distributed ,hroug b the

poses, by 30 much reducing the Demo

L Lightning bolt writing Gods
Name on u Blasphemer.

From the Lynchburg News.
Some Of our contemporaries seem dis
posed to question the truth OF our state
ment that negro man who was killed
by lightning few days ago in Campbell
county had the letters GOD on his
BODY. DR.. Thomas f. Moorman, whose
postoffice address is Mt. Zion, Campbell
county, has furnished the Richmond
Christian advocate An occunt oil the cir
cumstance, from which we extract tho
following:
"On the evening OF the 9th inst. Perry
Jones and George Brown, colored men,
VIGOROUSLY the most profane, wicked per-
sons in the whole community, with three
other colored persons, took refuge, dur
ing the rain accompanied by II good deal
of lightning and thunder, in n tobacco
barn on the land of MIR. George Cfeasey.
From their several positions one would
have thought two OF the other were in
more, and the third in as much danger
rs Jones and Brown were. They, as
their custom was, were engaged in cars
ing and swearing. Suddenly the light.
ming descended upon them, while the other
three were comparatively uninjurci,
Jones was killed and Brown was stricken
down senseless and almost liieless tor II
time. lie revived alter a few minutes,
and soon seemed TO have regained all
his strength, but was dumb and bereit
of his mind for several hours. The
lightning had set fire to his clothing,
and he WAS burned on the chest and left
side and arm before the fire was
extinguished. IL his mariac efforts
to free himself from those who were re-
straining him the skin was rubbed from
the burned flesh and represented the fol-
lowing characters, GOD. Very close rep
rcsentation, to say the least of them, of
the capital letters used in printing the
name of Deity, while around and between
them the skin was unremoved, and APP
purently not burned. The above char
acters occupied the angles of an cquiiat-
eral triangle, which, as you are doubt
less aware, was in ancient days the sym.
Dol of Deity. This man then appears
to have been branded with the name of his
Creator in the symbolic language, it may
be of his forefathers, three thousand year
ago, and in the printed language of the
nation TO which he belongs

And all the time he was standing with
one little brown hand on the back OF the

more questions on my part, to which he
answered that he hoped to be watch

REMARKS.

REMARKS.
The sheep market seems to be in full
sympathy with the rest. There Is no
Eastern demand and very little from the
country, some few sales of stockers hav-
ing been effected. The demand has been
limited this week almost wholly to the
home trade, and prices are scarcely as
firm as they were last week.
We quote fat sheep at 4@5c, as TO
quality; lambs 4@6c; stock sheep 81 w
G93 rs, the latter for select stockcrs.
