Our market has been disturbed this week
by the striking troubles and mobs and riots
occurring in the "law-abiding North !" sales,
therefore, are smaller and will probably not
exceed $50 hOgsheads. Some orders from
the North have been withdrawn, and as the
railroad refuses to take shipments, there
has been less disposition to buy. Prices
have, however, been well maintained, con-
sidering the difficulties surrounding the
market. In Louisville sales have been
temporarily abandoned. We quote:

DEAR SIRS-Your communication in re-
gard to the BlaSdel Churn received. We
have been using it nine months to our entire
satisfaction. We have tried other churns,
but ON seeing this the common-sense prin-
ciples upon which it works so recommended
it to us that we bought it, setting aside new
churn. My wife wouldn't give it for all
other churnS on our market. If you want to
use this among the farming community let
me say to them that am farmer and in
no way interested in any churn factory or
business house, but with an eye single to
benefit the families who want a churn that
will bring butter without wearing the life
out ofa wife, daughter or servant.

The Mob Last Night.

No apology nor excuse can be off
cred for the violence done by the tur-
bulent men who constituted the mob
in the city last night. The assaults
made with sticks and stones upon
private residences illustrated spir-
it that deserves the most unquali-
fed and emphatic condemnation.
The guilty parties, however, should
not be confOunded with the really in
dustrial class of the community. The
bOisterOus crowd that yelled along
the streets and attacked, among
others, the residences of Mayor ia
cob and DIR. StandifOrd, contained
no WOrkmen connected with any of
the railroad lines centering here.
The mob was composed largely of
negroes, who undertook to lead the
demonstration, SubOrdinating the
white element to their control. These
acts of violence are well calculated
to destroy the sympathy which the
community naturally feels for the
distress now experienced among the
labOring masses and, it may be tru-
ly said, the men who wreaked their
revenge upon inOffensive gas-lamps
and WlndOW-paneS are the aVOWed
enemies of honest workingmen, who
are seeking redress for real grievan-
ces through various forms of pro-
test. The MOB cannot prevail over
law in Louisville. The imperative
duty of the municipal authorities
leads them to apply armed force to
all outbreaks against the peace, and
the instigatOrs of riot must ultimate
ly endure disaster. The principle of
self-preservation is superior to all
other considerations in an hour like
this, and, guided by this principle,
the Iaw-abiding portion of the pop
uIation will for the time, disregard
the pleas Of poverty in order to more
promptly and effectually reach the
sources of turbulence.-LOuiSUiLIe

Superstition in Pennsylvania.

woman committed suicide in SOmer-
set County, few weeks since. While
a grave was preparing for her in pub
lie cemetery, several men came forward
and objected to her burial because the
place would be haunted, all these idiots
being imbued with fear of post-mor-
tenn appearance, with the usual blood
curdling capers of the disembodied
spirit, and the husband of the unfor-
tunate lady was compelled to bury her
on spot set apart on his farm. The
circumstances became generally known,
and some kind, hearted neighbors, who
don't take much stock in ghosts, resur-
rected the body, and buried it in the
place which she had selected previous to
shutting off. Then the superstitious
people got violent. One of them, who
appears to have dabbled in the art of
or mystical lore, made a cal
culation to the effect that three hundred
years must elapse before the "spook"
could be finally quieted, and SO great
was the feeling in the matter that the
gentleman in charge of the cemetery
has been notified to remove the body
inside of ten days, or abide the conse-
quences.
