THE FALL TRADE.

bCrOps Unparalleled, business Am-
proving, Prospects Flattering.
A stroll along Pearl street and other
Wholesale districts OF the city can no t
fail 10 strike one fayorably as to the ap-
pearanoe OF business existing. The side
walks are piled with boxes stacked to
prodigious heights, express wagons are
hurrying to and fro, and an army of
young men truudling trucks and label
ing boxes, shrong The doors of most Of
our leading wholesale business houses.
Such scenes as the above can not tail to
convince the most doubling that in spite
Of the cry OF hard times CincinDati Is
even now doing more than an ordinary
amount Of business, ~ T. 80.
II Is a lact, az Slated by a number OF
reliable business men, that the TALL trade
has already begun, which is earlier than
1t has commenced for a few years past,
and that the prospect is really tiattering
for good healthy business In ali
branches of trade.
The dry goods men-some Of them
are very sanguine, while others,
although they think the sales will prob
ably be large, say they sell on so small
a margin that the profits cap not be
very great. They all agree, however,
|
the prospects good.
Groceries have been gradually improv-
| ing for the past month. In the expressive
language OF our prominent Wholesale
merchants, the trade Is at present
"bully," and as the farmers and country
iobbers are In condition to pay, there
is no possible reason why it will not
continue to improve.
The boot and shoe men are all making
large sales, even now, and as it is an
acknowledged TACT that Cincinnati shoes
are Of su Jerior quality, as fall and
| winter approaches. this trade must
| necessarily be large. Ole weli-known
firm states thai they did worth vi
business one day this week.
SO we might 20 on through all the
branches OF business. Not less than
one hundred men, representatives. Of va
rious branches Of Cincinnati trade, have
predicted that business this fall will be
better than ordinary.
| The foundation on which ali build
their hopes is the unprecedented good
crops throughout the country. s II er-
intendent Maxwell, Of the Chamber O.
Commerce, says all crops harvested are
remarkably fine. The corn will be good,
should not all early frost overtake il;
and while he thinks 1t pity that men
should be too sanguine, there can be no
doubt that there Will be healthy look
ing up in all branches Of commerce.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
VIM. Zeigler, of Frankford township,
was severely kicked on the arm by a
horse last week.
On Friday last, ,as Mr.. Edward Potts, of
the First Ward, was walking out Han
over street, he slipped on an icy pave
ment, and fractured his right ankle.
On Wednesday night fire broke out
in the dwelling of John Greeham, baker,
of Mount Holly, Cumberland county
He and his children were asleep at the
time. The fire was first discovered by
his little daughter, who was awakened
by the smoke filling her room, She
gave the alarm, and attempted to go
down the back stairs, but the flames
drove her back and the father and
children were compelled to flee into the
street, leaving everything behind, ex-
cepting what they had on. Mr.. Greeham,
in the hurry and confusion, forgot $175
in money, which was burned. Very
little furniture was saved. The loss is
about $4 900, on which there is an insur-
ance in the Dover company of York of
$4,000. 1t is supposed that the fire
originated from the stove in the sitting
room, probably some Goals fell out on
the floor, as that was the only fire in the
house. The roof of the Lutheran
church close by was on fire several times
in different places, but the building was
saved.
A distressing and heart rending acci-
dent occurred at the residence of Mr..
Jos. l.. Herman ,on West Louther street,
about o'clock on Saturday evening"
Mrs. Herman had occasion to go into
the cellar, and left her two children-a
boy of II years, and little girl not yet
one year old-seated at table, upon
which was coal oil lamp. The mother
lamp on the table exploded with loud
report. The mother, terror stricken,
rushed into the room, which was then
filled with smoke and fire, only to find
the youngest child 'enveloped in sheet
of flame. The mother seized the burn
ing child, and ran out into the street.
The Oldest child also ran out and gave
the alarm, which brought to the scene
several of the neighbors, who entered
the house and smothered the flames, or
in all probability the house would have
been burned.
The child was horribly burned about
the face, head and arms, while the lad
escaped uninjured. The child suffered
very much, and at 2 o'clock on Monday
morning death came to hand. Mrs.
Herman was also considerably burned
on the hands and arms in rescuing her
children from the burning room. The
sad occurrence has caused much sympa-
thy in the community.

A Juniata County Party Go Hunting.

Mr.. Editor Dear Sir:-I would de-
sire to inform the citizens of Perry and
Juniata Counties of little incident that
occurred in Madison township, on the
11th day of this month. A party of
five men and boys from Spruce Hill
township concluded to take a hunt
They provided themselves with a two
horse team; straw for bedding and pro-
visions to last one week, then started for
the mountains in Madison township
AS they proceeded on their journey, the
writer noticed their faces beaming in
anticipation of the game they expected
to capture. AS they neared their destina-
ton, one of the party noticed q trail
which he supposed belonged to Bruin,
and concluded to follow while the rest of
his comrades proceeded to their intend
ed camping grounds. AS our young hunt
er still pursued the trail the perspiration
dropping from his brow in his eager
ness to bag the game, he presses on until
in the distance, he spies the form of a
man. He rushes up to him and asks
him if he could tell him what kind of q
track it was. The man told him he
thought he could, that it'was the track
of his colt which he had let out that
morning. Our hunter does not believe
him. Our Informant tells him his horses
are short distance in the woods, to go
and see for himself. He goes and sees and
turns with frown, and starts for camp,
and this is all we hear of him for three
days, when the writer sees our gallant
hunters going home without even as
much as wood mouse. They present
ed very haphazard appearance. Some
of them had large bundles of bed cloth
ing hung around their necks, while 9TH
ers carried baskets, overcoats, guns, &c.
Had the writer not known them to be
hunters he would have taken them to
be band of Gypsies. They seem to
have been very obliging set of hunt
ers. AS they went through certain
gentleman's 3 corn field they put the fence
down, and we suppose they forgot to put
it up again, thinking, perhaps, that
Bruin might pass that way and could
not cross the fence but this gentleman

Miss Lille your note was received
And some of your wants / hope are relieved ;
If the contents of your basket you contemplate,
Among them you'll find the candy and slate |;
SO many little girls for books and dolls cry,
That sometimesth demand exceeds the supply;
Next Christmas, if you can wait awhile yet,
The book and the doll you'll surely get;
Mrs. Santa sends her love to you,
And is glad you remembered her too;
l hope the weather will be bright and clear,
And you may have merry Christmas and a
happy New Year.
Now with shake of my head and shake of my
paws am off.

For The Times.
LIVERPOOL, Dec, 9th, 1S76.--Editor
TIMES :-Sir,-Ca you give any infor-
nation in regard to question that is ag-
itating the breasts of the Tax payers of
this place. What is the chief end to be
accomplished by the election of a Coun-
ty Superintendent of common schools.
Is it for the benefit of the children of the
people that pay the expenses, the Teach
ers, or the lucky individual that reaches
that very honorable position? From
what we know of the powers vested in
that official that perambulates' through
the different districts of the County, and
says who can and cannot teach the
young ida to shoot, we do not feel COM
petent to Judge. Yet we should like to
know where his authority ends. Is he
the great " mogul" that has only to is
sue his orders and all must obey? If so
can you give us information as to where
this authority is derived, so that we can
keep posted. Does the county pay for
more than one institute in a year, or is
it " epidemical, " Tripodical'', or
Whdts" Or does the school law pro-
vide for proselyting; that is, does it al
low the Superintendent to close up
schools for weeks for the purpose of al
lowing teachers to become Inherent
"Sankey & Moody" Songsters at Tri-
podical institutes. This is what is the
matter with us, too much institute and
not enough school. TAX PAYER.

will exactly meet the views of very
many of the taxpayers of the Coun-
