ed one OF it's members a victim 10 his re-
lentless grasp.
Sister Emily Ricketts,, wife OF Bro. w
/. Ricketts,, departed this life on SUNDAY
morning the let day of April. 1877, in
Ohio county, Ky, after a lingering and
painful illness, aged Al years, 8 months
and % days.
For more than quarter of a century
sister Ricketts, had been not only an ex>
emplary bat Jealous and working mem.
Der of the II. L. Church South, ever
adorning the profession she had made in
early youth, by sn upright walk and
godly conversation. And when affection
had laid heavily its hand upon her and
she lay for weary months upon a couch
of suffering and pain. she was enabled to
triumph in the promises of that religion
which had cheered her from early wo,
manhood, and as she looked out upon the
turbid waters of the "last river" with a
full assurance that che had au inheri-
lance beyond its chilling waves.
She was charter member OF the New
Liberty Grange. in which she lived an
honored member, filling responsible posi-
tions until the consolidation of said
Grange with Goshen, when her name
was transferred to the roll of the consol>
ldated Grange, though she herself was
confined to bed of affection.
The family and kind friends watched
over her with devoted attention through-
out her Prolracted illness. The church
to which che belonged consigned her
away to der last resting place with suit
able formalities, and the brethren and
sisters of the Order of P. of II. desiring
to pay a last tribute OF respect to her
memory, after the reading of the above
memoir, adopted the following resolu-

Resolred, By the Goshen Grange that
IN. the death Of sister Ricketts, our Order
has lost valuable member; and that
we will ever attempt to initiate her vir.
tues, and cherish her memory.
| ReSoiued, That while We mourn her
loss, we mourn hot as those who have
no hope" but we bow with humble sub.
mission to this sad dispensation OF the
Great Master above, feeling that he doeth
all things we'll.
Resolred, That we tender our heartfelt
sympath'es to the beTeavei family, and
point them to Him, who cheered the
wife and mother in health, and comfor e.l
and supported her in her afilic.ion. and
who will ever comfort the distressed and

Louisville Trade Gossip.
by Our Special Correspondent. |

BY Our ST eeial CorrespondeHt.1
The mule trade was very brisk last
week, about 800 we're sold at auction, and
a large number were disposed of at pri-
vate sale Fiiteen>hand mules sold at
from S25 upward" About $50 horses we're
sold at auction, prices ranging all the way
from $25 to SIPS The horse and mule
trade ia said to be. better this season than
for years before.
The tobacco receipts during the month
of March were 1865 hhds. more than in
March last year. The stock on hand in
Louisville April %, was 5S05 bids there
was sold during March 5l34 hhds. The
tobaccos received recently have been noted
for their greenness and mixed condition,
and were conspicously lacking in richness
and gum. The markets Of the world are
well stocked with tobaccos at the present
time, and farmers who are holding for a
rise, in view of the favorite outlook for the
sowing season, may possibly miss their
aim.
Grain trade last week was fair, but the
market WAS bare OF oats which advanced
from Il to . cents per bushel Trade
in corn very light, few shipments in fact:
the increased planting of corn in the Gulf
States has had a material effect upon
shipments in that direction. Advices
from all sections OF the State indicate
that the small grain crop is in very
promising condition. Farmers are alive
in the matter Of obtaining improved har-
yesters. In this connection McGill & Tru-
man, 90 West Main 81, informed me that
they are receiving lettef-:of inquiry from
all over the State, as TO the prices of the
celebrated Buckeye Reaper and Mower,
for which they are agents. This firm
has had this spring largely increased
trade in garden and field seeds, as well as
plows and other farming implements.
Wool, last week, was quiet and inactive;
prices in favor OF buyers. The best opin.
ion is, that in the higher grades of woods,
such as Combing and delaihs, there will
be no decline But dealers find they cam
not handle bury woods" to any advan>
tage, either to themselves or sellers.
Feathers are dull at As cents. Prime
ones will probably hot go lower than those
figures.
Ginseng holds its own at 81 10 per ID
1t is very strange trade, every ounce of
it goes to China; it is sine qua non, with
Acknowledged John. He uses it as Ameri
cans do tobacco, aud burns it for incense
in his fantastic heather worship. a
member OF the pig-tailed race would not
expect any kind OF luck, unless he had a
pieccof ginseng somewhere in his clothes
There was a slight falling of in egg re-
ceipts-only about $1,000 dozen came to
this market last week. Prices firm at l2
cents.
Butter came in freely at prices ranging
from Is to Is cents per pound.
Potatoes are advancing in price, in con-
sequence of light receipts. and will con-
tinue to do so. The market is lively in
seed sweet potatoes Choice varieties,
such as Southern Queens and Virginians
are scarce. Trade is generally hopeful
and CHEEKY: it looks like the good times
coming" come at last.

Editor Herald;
As some parts of the county are bring
ing out their candidate for jsilor in 1878,
it will be proper for me to remark that
the friends of Shelby Baker are speaking
OF putting him before the people for said
Office. Ii all the candidates for office
next year will announce themselves. We
will have lively time for twelve months,
although il would seem rather premature
A petition is in circulation for yourself
to tecome candidate for the Legislature
Ii it would not too greatly conflict with
the editorship OF the HERALD, John p
Barrett will be handsomely elected to
represent Ohio county.
Hon. R. P. Hooker is announced for
the same office, but as quite a number
here believe in one term of office, they
desire new man. Mr.. Hooker is self
made man and stands as high as any gen.
tleman through this community.
Messrs Orr Bro. d Co. received, last
week, about seventy-five thousand pounds
Of tobacco. Their stemmery is full, and
they will have to secure another house to
receive the balance of the tobacco they
have bought.
A. II. Kahn bought another new stock
of goods last week lie sold the others
20 rapidly he came near selling out
/. 2. Barnard received large lot of
clothing last week direct from Philadel-
phia. His suits of clothing range from
Sc to $50. aud are made of good material,
as well as cut in the latest style. lie will
to-day receive large assortment Of ladies
hats direct from first-class milliners
They will not be OF cheap class, and
ladies vii! find it to their interest to call
and examine them. Mr. Barnard is set
ted here for life. and will deal fairly with
those who give him chance.
Johnny Foster has enough tobacco
plants to set out one hundred acres, and
saws il any body has more bugs than they
want, he would be pleased to have them
send him a few. Johnny is one of the
most industrious young men in this vi>
cinity.
Mr.. McNickle has taken charge of the
telegraph office here. That makes four
Scotchmen at the Poyner House, and all
are clever gentlemen.
During my life time l have had many
enjoyable occasions, but one Of the most
so was at the Lyon House last Friday
night. DANDY" knows how to get up
nice party, and also understands how to
treat travellers who stop at his house.
Mrs. Hester Williams has left town
and gone to farming. The first week she
lost all the chickens she had, and two lit~
tie pigs; the second week she made fifty
pounds of butter aud bought all the chick
ems back that her kind friend had stolen
from her. She has employed an old wild
over now 10 watch the chicken roost.
