A Negroes Fright.

While performing some work for
"Uncle Sam," in one of the Southern
ports, where it was customary for those
who supply the markets with early gar
den truck to load their boats and row
them around to the wharf, it happened
that one day a burly negro loaded his
boat with watermelons, and had just
reached the dock where the usual num-
Der of loungers stood watching the OPP
erations of a diver. The negro, all un-
conscious of his situation, was z~ealously
endeavoring to dispose of his cargo,
when Fuller suddenly emerged, helmet
first, from the water, thrustipg his Cog
gle-eyes and ugly head before the as
tonished occupant of the boat. and,

aHow Could Mary Milk Her2r

At a school in the country, the SEN
tence, MARY milks the cow" was CIV
en- out to be parsed. The last word
was disposed of as follows:
Sow is a noun, feminine gender,
singular number, third person, and
stands for Mary"
Islands for Mary!" said the excited
pedagogue; show do you make that
outp" :
because" answered the intelligent
pupil, ssif the COW didn't stand for
Mary, how could Mary milk her?"

On this Sitting Bull Indian question
A. c;o,. C;%r Yor,oN To,rool 10, 4,

On this Sitting Bull Indian uestion
the Sioux City uowa) Journal has a
word of wisdom to add. 1t says:
Colonel George Clendenning, a man
of more than ordinary intelligence, who
has spent the last ten years among the
Indians on the Upper Missouri, as a
trader, while in town a couple of days
ago expressed an opinion regarding the
best way to fight old Sitting Bull. He
said there were men enough on the up
per river, Injured to hardships of from
tier life, to corral Sitting Bull within
two month, and who are anxious to
take the contract. These men need no
baggage and forage trains. They can
subsist on straight meat and roots, and
their animals require no attention, be-
ing Indian pories which can inhabit a
snow drift in winter and come out fat
and sleek in the spring"

THE MARKETS.

The King street curb market did not
present very animated appearance this
morning. 1t is true it was well supplied
with all eatables necessary for life, but
the buyers was not as plenty as on Satur-
day, and in consequence trade was rather
dull with the farmers. a rather surprising
fact under the circumstances was that
prices were advanced over those last
market day. ...
Butter sold at from 35 to 40 per pound;
eggs, 28a30 per doz, corn, 12a15 per doz.,
peppers, IL per doz., sweet potatoes, 8al5
per half peck; white do, 8a12 per half
peck; tomatoes, cabbage and other vege-
tables remained at the usual prices.
Peaches were scarce, being supple d
by wagons, and were selling at 40a45
cents per half peck.
In the meat market prices remained
unchanged, and the supply exceeded the
demand. The fish market remains
unchanged, with the exception
that lake shad have made
their appearance and are bringing 16
cents per pound; also bass have appeared
and are selling at the same price.

The Alliance Temperance.

.
OPENING OF THE sTRIsiPLEHALLM MEET
lNeis-7THE EXERCISES AND ADDREs-
SEs. @, ~ ''i - = -
owing to the approach of cold weather
the alliance temperance tent at the cor
ner OF Ninth and Lombard streets was
taken down short time ago, and those
engaged IN the movement began to seek
place wherein they could continue the
meetings, and recently secured the sec
ond story back room in Strimple uall, on
King street below Second. s'i'f
| Ihe room was fitted up, the chairs and
other articles from the tent having been
removed there, and placed in a conven-
lent manner both for spectators and
speakers. The first meeting was held
last evening, the attendance being very
satisfactory. The meeting opened with
the usual exercises of singing and prayer,
at the conclusion of which M. Charles
Moore made few opening remarks, in
which he said that he did not see WHY
the meeting could not be continued, not
only one night or one week, but for years.
Ihere was just such meetings held at the
foot OF Fulton street, in New York, where
all the sailors that landed could 60 and
hear the word of God preached. He did
not see why one could not be establishe
here. The farmers come into the city on
Tuesdays and Fridays and during the
evening wander around town, and in the
beer saloons? why not have it so that they
could come here.
He then introduced Rev. Mr.. Killianl
| of Asbury M. E. Church, who said that
he did not know of a place where such
meetings were more needed than where
the present one was held. The location
is in that part ofthe city where drunknes:
and vice abound. In many cases the sub
jects that the meetings have been design
ed for, have not been reached. 1t be-
hooved those who were engaged in the
work TO go out and make personal eff
fort for those subjects. He loved to see
conversion. He remembered few
years ago when the place was what they
called a free and easy. Sometimes there
t was ball, and others a theatre. HI
would now like to see it dedicated for
Z ever to the work of God and reformation
: "Bring forth the Royal Diadem, wa
then sung. NN
;, Rev. Mr.. Latrobe of Calvery P. ]
Church was next introduced. He rea,
: the oath, 25th and 26th verses of St. LUX
which speaks of the "unclean spirit gon
t ofman, he walketh through dry places
a seeking rest, and finding none; he return
eth to his house and taketh unto himself
seven other spirits, and the last state G
:. that man is worse that first" He spok
e of the seven spirits and said that if yol
drive the spirit drunkness out of mar
e and don't give him something to TAX
$ hold of in its place he will go back, ant
. will be worse off than ever. He close
: by inviting all present to accept Chris
e and sign the temperance pledge. "Res
s in Jesus" was then sung, after which th
e meeting was addressed by Mr.. Starr an
r others, aud dismissed with The lon
r metre doxology and the benediction.

e same place every night until furthe

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Young Man Dhle Coupling cars Is Cuugj
and Fdtdlly Injured.


A Young Man Uhae Coupling cars Is Caught
and Fdtdlly Injured.
Last evening about 8 o'clock as John
McCafferty brakeman on the +. w. &
b. r. R., was engaged in coupling a
car to the locomotive at Delaware juno
ton, he was caught between them and
very badly squeezed across the back and
chest from the effect of which he died this
morning at 8 o'clock.
1t appears that the first intimation that
those who were out with him had, was
when the engineer started to pull out and
finding that the engine had not been
coupled to the car he glanced back, and
saw the wounded man fall to the track.
He Immediately left the engine and going
to him picked him up, and in doing SO
found that he was very seriously injured.
He was put on the engine and brought to
the depot, after which he was taken to
his parents residence, No 400 E. Ninth
street. DR.. Kane was Immediately sum-
moned, and did all that medical aid
conld do to alleviate the suffering of the
unfortunate young man. At the time
he was picked up blood was flowing from
his ears. nose and mouth. He was about
% years of age, unmarried, and had beer
on the road but short time. The Caro-
ner has been notified and will hold ar
inquest sometime during the day.

COSTLY SPoRT.-Recently Mrs. Ann
Jane Mullen, of Ogletown, appeared be-
fore Esquire Frazer, and swore out war
rants for the arrest of several parties, on
the charge of vagrancy, but when they
were brought up for a hearing she failed
to appear. An attachment was issued
and served upon her by Constable White
man, who brought the delinquent to the
'Squire's Office this morning. The Squire
gave her the alternative of paying the
costs of the case, amounting to about SIT
or, going to Jail. She chose the former
and went home wiser and a poorer
woman.

THE BRITISH GRAIN MARKET.

What Is eIpected in regard TO the Amertcd, crop
LONDON, September 25.-The Mark
Lane Express i'll its weekly review of
the British corn trade says " The
weather for the last ten days has been
more favorable even Scotland reported
in the middle of the week some progress
with the harvest. Since,sthen, however,
rain has fallen generally Potatoes are
spoken of very badly in Scotland and
and the North generally. The wheat
trade during the week has been quiet,
but firm. The country markets are be-
ginning to fill, but the condition gen eral-
ly is bad, and in the North many samples
are selling as low as 40 shillings per
quarter and even less. As the damp
weather comes on the condition of Eng
lish wheat will render it almost unfit for
use and a large proportion of 1t, unsala-
BILE, must be Kept till spring. The sup
plies Of English wheat will, therefore,
probably be sold for the next few months
especially as the price OF barley is likely
to be good, and farmers will have every
inducement to thresh this rather than
wheat Good dry samples of new red
wheat MAINTAIN their price at 90 shillings
per quarter
The truth of the matter as to the large
surplus of the American crop this year
begins to be more clearly understood.
1t may be admitted that there is sur
plus Of 100 200, 600 bushels Yet with the
unprecedented exhaustion of stocks
throughout the States the usual exports
to other ports, a large export to the Con-
tinent, the present modern prices and
the disposition that growers will natural
" feelito hold over such fine quality at
such prices, it is not likely that the ex-
pofHthis year to. Great Britain will ex-
ceeU that of some former years unless
prices should advance and offer induce
ment to growers to sell more freely.
