The Norman Failure.

The failure of the well-known to-
baccO firm of MeSsrs. William p.
Weyman & Bro, Pittsburgh, which
occurred recently, has again been
brought prominently before the
public by the painful announcement
that on the Sd inst. Mr.. William p.
Weyman, senior member of the
firm had committed suicide by cut
ting his throat. This is the second
time he had attempted to take his
life. Owing to great mental strain
Mr.. Weyman had become insane,
but seemed TO have somewhat re-
covered, and, with that cunning so
often practiced by those who, gui-
ded by an insane impulse, have de
termined upon their own destruc-
ton, eluded his nurse with the sad
result. The firm is largely involved;
they have fought hard 10 evade
failure, but row this double misfOr-
tune befalls them. Mr.. W. II.
Crouch, who has been for twenty
eight years intimately connected
with the firm, will, we are sorry to
learn, lose heavily by the failure.

CIarksViIIe Wholesale Market.
CORRECTED BY j. J. CRUsMAN

Business continues very quiet for this
season of the year and our merchants expect
but little general improvement before the
beginning of the harvest season. In the
Grocery trade we note decided upward
movement in the price of all grades of
Sugar, caused by the very small stocks held
in all of the producing countries which con-
tribute supplies to the United States.
Louisiana made good crop, and this until
now has helped to prevent an advance in
prices, but it is much too small proportion
of the quantity consumed to influence
prices, when Europe has made a failure in
its beet crop and comes in competition with
us for the Cuban crop of which the United
States usually gets the lions share, and
which furnished almost three-fourths of the
Sugar consumed in the United States In
consequence of this the sweets of this trade
win probably cost US more than for several
seasons past. Weagain raise our quotations
slightly with a tendency to further advance.
Molasses has also advanced slightly in
sympathy with Sugar. Coffee has had a
buoyant market with an advance in prices
in the larger cities, but our prices as yet
remain unchanged. Flour, during the
week past, has reacted somewhat from the
it, and the larger markets, where prices
were more rapidly advanced than in ours,
have lost some of the advance. But the
supply OF fancy grades is not large and it
may require still nearer approach to har-
vest to bring down prices of this grade.
Wheat, of all grades but the highest, has
declined materially in the large grain mar
kets during the past few days, but with us
there is no stock, none whatever, to be
affected either way. Corn, in sympathy
with Wheat, is also lower and less in de-
mand. In Provisions, the legitimate con-
surnptive demand seems to have increased
somewhat, but the speculative feeling pro-
duced by the first batch of war news has
entirely subsidized and the "head centres" in
Hog products quote a considerable decline
in all kinds of Meat and Lard. In this con-
nection we would remark that we are asked
almost daily why the prices of Bacon, Pork,
etc, have not advanced from war influences
as did grain and Flour, and we answer that
as the war sat present waged neither OF the
beligerents use our meats, nor dothey ex-
port supplies OF this kind to Europe. The
Russians supply themselves from their own
extensive domains or from Asia Minor,
while the Turks hold all of the product of
the Swine in adherence, whether inter
dlcted by the Koran we are not now

On Tuesday evening the body of
a newly born colored infant was
discovered in Drane's pond it was
not dressed and was in all respects
exactly in the condition in which it
was born, except that it was wrap
ped in towels. 1t was evidently of
the African race. witnesses were
examined at the inquest held, and
the verdict simply stated in brief
the death Of the child. We feel
compelled to say that cOrOners in
quests are most effectively cOnduc-
ted in this place; if no other inves-
LEGATION were made in the present
instance, n respectable physician
should have examined the body to
ascertain the important point Wheth-
er the child was born alive Or not
of course this would have increased
the expense somewhat, but the
money would have been paid for
something; a. it is, the expense of
inquests is simply money thrown
away, and unless more is to be done
the office of coroner had better be
abolished as a useless expense.

say it is a mistake to sit for a gem

and enlarged to those sizes, because
ct the best you only get a copy of Il
cheap kind of reversed picture, when
you can sit for a satisfactory mega
tive direct from life, and after pay
ing no more for the first picture than
the travelling agent will charge you,
the original negative is still on file,
from which you can order duplicates
at mere nominal price. l respect
fully solicit a share of the patronage

The ST. John Sewing Machine

Possesses advantages over many,
and indeed all, machines heretofore
introduced, viz: the beautiful ar
rangement by which it runs forward
or backward, sewing at the same
time. 1t winds the bobbin without
running the machine. No unthread-
ing the needle. 1t is free from
cams, cogs and springs, and thus
ObViates friction. All of its vital
parts are simple and easily adjusted.
1t has patent box cover affOrding
a work box or extension table at
will. 1t is now being introduced in
this city, and an examination of its
merits is respectfully solicited. The
machine can be seen at my office at

Tribute Of Respect.

May the 9Th, 1877, the following preamble
and resolutions relative to the life and death
of our beloved brother, Jacob Rudolph,
were adopted at meeting OF Fredonia
Lodge, +. A. NJ:
He who does all things right, in His wise
providence, has taken this most excellent
brother from our community, our associa-
ton and our mystic circle. We may truly
say that life with him was success. He
passed through the different stages of life,
childhood, youth, manhood and old age, in
the same community, hence was well
known, and khoicn to be much respected by
all that can appreciate true worth. His
name was as a household word in almost
every family in the neighborhood in which
he lived for more than three score and ten
years. So noble, generous and cheerful was
his disposition that it was both pleasant
and profitable for old and young to associate
with him; consequently all ages sought his
company. AS a husband, he was kind as a
father, he was affectionate; as neighbor,
he was generous and beloved; as a citizen,
he stood as a pillow of good society as a
Mason, he was firm and loved, and prac-
ticed the noble principles of our order, and
as q Christian, he was consistent, humble,
constant and full of faith and good works.
Though dead, he yet speaketh; and will
long, by his influence, continue to speak 10
many for good. He has been called from
labor to refreshment or rest we meet him
no more in the common circles of life; we
hear him speak no more words of advice
nor cheerfulness, nor hear his hearty laugh.
No more do we meet him at church, nor
hear his prayers or songs of praise no more
does he meet with us in this Lodge, where
in other days he wore the white apron, the
emblem of purity, but he now wears the
robe of righteousness, washed and made
white in the blood of the Lamb, and restsin
a house not made with hands, eternal, in
the heavens. Truly we may say a good
man has fallen; and may his mantle be
caught by some one who viii las he did
wear it to the credit of himself and the good
of others.
Resolved, That while in the death of
Brother Jacob Rudolph his companion has |
lost a loving husband, his children a good |
father, the country one of its best citizens, |
the church an earnest, liberal and working |
and this Lodge q worthy brother, |
we bow with humble submission TO the will |
and ways of Him who maketh all things |
work together for good to them that love |
God.
Resolved, That we condole with his fam |
lily in their bereavement, and that the men, |
beers of this Lodge wear the badge of mourn |
ing for thirty days.
Resolved, That this preamble and resolu-
tionS be entered in our book of records, and |
that copy be furnished his widow, and |
also copy be sent to the GAINESVILLE /
and Cumberland Presbyterian
for publication.
Respectfully, by your Committee,
II. L. BURNEY,
EFT SWIFT,
G. C. HALLIBURTON.

If any of you desire to purchase a
patent churn that does its work
quickly, neatly, and produces a
great deal of butter, provided you
use plenty of pure, rich milk, try
one of those manufactured by
Messrs. Barksdale, Clark & Co.
They are all that this reliable firm
claim for them. | am using one,
and believe it to be the best churn
ever bought, and | have tried a
variety. 1t is true they cost more
than the old flip-fOp sort, but they
are greatly superiorin every respect.

Base Ball.

y spicy little match came off on
base ball hill on Thursday evening.
\ knot of ambitious youngsters con-
stituting the second nine of the Col
lege determined to achieve great
ness or die in the attempt; so they
challenged the first nine. Things
were a little equalised through
Eakin the first mines pitcher being
unable from sickness to pitch more
than a few innings. At first the
youngsters astOnished themselves
and everybody else by taking the
lead of their seniors, being at one
time IL scores ahead. During the
last three innings however, the
seniors concluded that it was getting
serious and put their best foot fore
most. Eakin brought up his heavy
artillery and reversed the score
so that it stood at the close.

Try them again boys and give
Eakin Il dose OF Strychnine before it
comes off.
