THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Dun, Barlow g. Co. 8 semi-annual report,
under data of July IA, 1876, has been re-
ceived. from which it appears that for the
first six months Of this year there have
been, in the United States, forty Xix hun
bred failures, with liabilities amounting TO
$1OS, 415 400, against Thirty five hundred
and sixty-,hree failures and $40 S44 2G6 of
liabilities tor the corresponding six months
last year. Notwithstanding the large in
crease, both IN number and amount of liza
bilities, over last year, yet the prospect is
more encouraging than, at first sight, ap-
pears, as this increase was mainly in the
first three months of the year. Thus in
the frat three months of 1875, there were
nineteen hundred and eighty-two failures,
while this year there were twenty eight
hundred and six, while the liabilities for The
first three months of the present year were
sixly-four millions OF dollars, against sew
enteen hundred and Iinety-four failures
and forty-three millions of dollars of liza
bilities for the last three months-both
items showing an improvement Of nearly
forty per cent
In Vermont, the failures for the frat six
months of last year were thiriy-two, with
two hundred and ninety seven thousand
dollars of liabilities; against twenty nine
failures, the corresponding six months of
this year, with six hundred and ninety-nine
thousand dollars of liabilities. In the first
three months of the present year there
were twenty three failures, with four hun
bred and thiIty-seven thousand dollars of
liabilities, while for the last three months
the number of failures was Elk, and the IL
abilities two hundred and sixty-two thou.
sand dolars-about the same improvement
in amount of liabilities as in the country at
large, but vastly greater improvement in
the number of failures.

The Hawaiian Treaty..

The house bill to carry into effect the
reciprocity treaty of January 20, 1865, be-
tween the United States and the Hawaiian
Islands, was with some trouble passed by a
vote of 30 ayes against 10 nays. Many of
the southern senators were quite violent in
their opposition on the ground that it will
injure the malset for their sugar and rice.
The president will now issue procama-
tion declaring the reciprocity treaty e, lc
in force, and the following articles being
the growth and manufacture or produce of
the Hawaiian Islands, will be adm tilted into
this country free of duty, to wit: Arrow
root. castor oil, bananas, nuts, vegetables,
dried and undried, preserved and UMPIRE
served, hides and skins undrassed, rice,
pulu seeds, plants, shrubs or trees, Musco-
vado, brown and all other unrefined sugar,
meaning hereby the grades of sugar here
tofore commonly imported from the Ha-
waiian Islands, and now known in the
markets of San Francisco and Portland as
Sandwich Island sugar." syrups of sugar
cane, melado and molssses and tallow.

PIGEON Cove, Mass

PIGEON Cove, Mass, Aug. IA.
Editor Rutland Globe When one steals
away from business and the cares of a coun-
try store, and suddenly finds himself o
guest in one of the first states of New Eng
land, and at one Of the most fascinating
spots on earth, the transition is so sudden,
80 complete aud yet so agreeable to the bur-
dened mind and worn out body, that he
can hardly realize the change. At least
such were my convictions when found
myself snugly at rest, in this beautiful nest,
and much frequented watering place. The
name Pigeon Cove is certainly not very
euphonious, and there is something pleas
ing to the ear in its expression, and many
things here for the eye to gaze upon and
be satisfied. If one were to form an opinion
of this happy retreat for invalids and seek
ers after pleasure by the ride from Rock
port to The Cove by stage it would cell ain
ly be any thing but fisttering, tor it is a
rocky, barren way, and not calculated to
please the weary traveller. But happy
disappointment was in store for me, and
the change was SO evident that could but
feast my eyes in seeing and drink into the
fullest extent the many wonderful and
charming sight, that everywhere meet my
gaze, the magnificent drives reaching far
and in different directions. The grand
views of old ocean with its mountain waves
and flashing waters as they follow each
other to the rocky shore, are beyond des-
scription.
And first, let me speak of the Pigeon
Cove house and its excellent proprietor,
Mrs. Robinson, with her clerk, Mr.. Kimball,
who is gentleman, and one who is ever
ready to ans wer to the call of guests. Its
location combines elegance and comfort,
nicely shaded with the symetrical elm and
leafy maple. Between eighty and one hun
dred guests find ample time to while away
the glowing hours, so that one is hardly
conscious of the lapse of time until reused
from his reverie by the sounding gong for
| dinner and tea. This renowned hotel is
conducted by Mrs. Robinson in the most
superb anu queenly manner, and happy
home marks the countenances OF It's in
mates. She has recently bought the Ocean
house, and In connection with the Pigeon
Cove, they form the lovelest spots and
most enchanting boarding houses on Cape
Ann. The Ocean View looks directly out
upon the mighty deep, and nothing pre-
vents one from extending his vision as far
as the eye can reach. The bathing places
are close by, on the rocky coast, where
holes are drilled into the solid rock with
iron potts cemented at the bottom while at
the top are ropes made fast and running
to each securely fastened so as to insure
safety to the bsthers. Many improve the
golden opportunities to their utmost satis-
faction. Those who are used to ocean
bathing are usually quiet, battling the
waves ike veterans in many a well-fought
field. But the new corners, unaccus-
toned to this novel strife with the briny
deep, ring out their hill cry, and make
the air resound with music-vocal, to be
sure, but not always in harmony with the
elements.

effect of the present depression that til
causes which produced the depression ar
now completely changed ; and that in a.
departments there is change, chang
which it was necessary for the three year
of depression to produce, and withou
which it was hopeless to expect revivs

Sad and Fatal Accident at Sheldon

Friday night several young men in Shell
don went out to fight fire on a neighbor-
ing hill. About 2 o'clock Saturday moin-
ing one of them, Robert Sake, son of Hon.
r. j. SAKE, United States consul at ST..
Johns, returned to the village to see to his
store, being accompanied by young
Frenchman. They found that the steps
had been removed and the key-hole file d
with mud. AS the store had previously
been robbed, young SAKE was alarmed, and
after piling some boxes in the place of the
steps, mounted them, drew and cooked his
revolver and the two endeavored TO effect
an entrance. The boxes gave way, and as
they fell the revolver was discharged, the
ball entering Saxe's right thigh and passing
downward so far that it could not be found

During recent thunderstorm two men
unloading hay in barn belonging to Mrs.

lightning striking the end of the barn far

general prostration Of business for two or

men have been out Of employment here for
months. As soon as yellow-fever appeared
very many OF the people who are well to do
left. In fact most Of those who are to be
relied on to contribute to the relief of the
poor have gone. Many Of these have re-
spondcd to the calls OF their fellow-citizens
with money. The present and prospective
needs are great. Prices are advancing.
Very many families who month ago
had competence are now facing por-
erty. Our physicians have nobly re-

there is limit even to doctors patience.
Contributions OF money, medicines, and
provisions are solicited by the Benevolent
