New YORK, September 11.-A cores.
pondent tells the story Of the cause Of
Sitting Bull leaving British possessions.
he says the British officers and Sitting
Bull had council, ard after the council
the tribe performed the usual dance. A
young half breed, Bill Culverson, at pres.
ent the government scout, Joined in the
dancing; after it was over he became ex-
cited. counted his scars and said to Sit.
ting Bull, Look l have killed as many
OF your hostile red dskins." Sitting Bull
drew his revolver, and the movement
was initiated by Culverson, but before
either could shoot, Maj. Welsh, with his
revolver drawn, sprahg between them
and told Sitting Bull 10 put his pistol
away. Turning 10 Sitting Bull he said,
~ want you TO understand that you can't
commit any Of your deyiltries here as you

Improved order Of RED Men

COLUMBUS, O., September 1.-THE
Great Council OF the United States ol
Improved Order Of Red Men assembled
here to-day and were received In form
by the Great Council Of Ohio. Nearly
every delegate Is In attendance.
The Grea! Council assembled at 0
o'clock, when Adam Smith, ut CALIFORNIA,
made his long talk, In the course OF which
he stated that the Order during the past
year had not been SO prosperous as was
desired. Since the last meeting eighteen
tribes had been instituted. He WA con.
WINGED that the future success or failure
ot the Order depended upon the interest
taken by the Great Council in revision
Of their ritualistic work, and in this
work all parts Of the Indian traditions,
which will tend TO make the Council work
entertaining, instructive and useful,
should be retained, but all Others should
be rejected. An early consideration Of
the taxation and reduction Of the char.
ter fees was recommended.
Joshua Morris, the Great Chief OF Rec.
ords, made long talk. He referred to
the condition Of the tribes in all states,
and said they were in the poorest condi-
tion in MiSsissippi; many tribes have
become extinct. He reported that there
were now 567 tribes in the United States
with a membership Of 36,422. During
the past year 3Sl deaths have occurred
and 4,2SS new members received.

The Approaching Extra Session
OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-THE esti-
mates for the support Of the army for The
present fiscal year have been prepared by
the War Department and sent to the
Treasury Department which will trans.
init them to Congress at the extra session.
These are are the only estimates to be sent
in. The question with regard to the
Presidents sending the usual message and
reports ot the Executive Departments to
the extra session was not long ago con.
sidered in the cabinet, when 1t was agreed
that the message and accompanying docu-
ments should relate only to the business
for which Congress is 10 be especially
convened, and not to the general subjects
OF legislation, 1t is thought that the mes.
sage will therefore be brief.

Review Of the British Grain
Trade.

LONDON, September l1.-The weather
the past week has been most favorable.
The cool weather and keen winds dried
much Of the laid corn. A considerable
quantity OF grain has been secured, al.
though ii is feared It is not in a prime
condition. In Scotland the affairs are
different, as a large proportion Of the
cereal crops is yet uncut. The oats in
some districts are reported quite green.
Do lighter soils some quantity OF barley
has been cut, but the greater portion OF
the crop is yet secured. The crops
which appear lik, 10 turn out best, as
far "a the yield Is concerned, are oats,
peas and beans. The potatoes are
affected by disease IN nearly every
district. AS harvest progresses the con.
viction is forced upon us that the yield Of
agricultural produce generally will be
FAR from abundant, To this fact may be
mainly attributed the firm tone which has
prevailed in all branches OF the grain
trade. True, offerings Of English wheat
have been fair both at Mark Lane and
country markets, but very small proper.
tion OF samples on offer has been in good
condition. The known great scarcity OF
old samples and the large anticipated de.
ficiency OF this years crop OF English
wheat have forced the attention ot buyers
to foreign grain, which has improved one
shilling TO two shillings per quarter un.
der the increased demand and this in the
face Of large stocks in granery, the
heavy foreign imports and abundant
American crops in the back ground.
Should, however, the English growth this
year not exceed 9,5OOOO0 quarters, at
which Il has been estimated by we'll
known agricultural authority, it may not
be too much to say that after all, when
brought forward TO meet the require.
ments OF the new cereal year. The Amer.
lean surplus may possibly be absorbed
without unduly depressing prices, as was
the case last spring when the Californian
crop, which was the largest ever grown
on the Pacific slope, was 90 rapidly ab.
sorbed that its disappearance seemed al.
most unaccountable. Certainly 4 large
quantity offoreign wheat will be required
70 meet the couutryt needs, and, with
little prospect of cessation Of the East.
ern war, trade presents a healthy ap.
pearance, and the prospect OF any immed.
late material alteration in prices either
way need not be looked for. The new
cargoes OF wheat which have arrived at
the ports OF California have been disposed
OF at advancing prices, and now only one
cargo represents the usual arrived fleet.
There has also been good demand for
wheat on passage and for shipment at l
shilling to 2 shillingS per quarter more
money. but resales checked advance.
Maize of the coast has found buyers at an
Improvement Of shilling per quarter,
while for shipment there has been an &C.
tive inquiry, and prices close nearly
shilling and 9 pence per quarter over
those Of last Monday.

Our MOuudsyiIIe Letter.

MoUNDsvILrE, September II.
ElIton IntellSoncer:
The marriage of Richard Ferrell and
Niles Mary Edwards, daughter OF George
Edwards, Esq, took place last evening in
the NJ. +. Church. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. ]. NJ. Warden, and
was witnessed by an audience OF at least
600 persons. The happy couple left for
the West on the night train, bearing with
them the congratulations and well wishes
Of their numerous friends. May they
live long and be happy, and may their
honeymoon never set.
An entertainment was given last ever :
ing in the School Hall by Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Il. Scott, Of st. Louis. On account Of
the wedding, the audience was not as
large as it would otherwise have been,
though fair. The entertainment was
Of the very highest order. 1t consisted
Of the recitation Of sentimental and hu-
morous selections from our best authors.
II ia the general verdict Of those WHO
heard them that they are elocntionists in
the true sense Of the word. Mr.. Scott did
his part we'll, but, without wishing 10 de.
tract from him at all, must say that
Mrs. Scott, in the recitations Of "Charlie
Machree," "Jemiman and the Naughty
Cir" excelled nything in this line that
l have ever heard. They deserve a lib.
erAl patronage wherever they go, and We
wish to see them this way again.
More than $50 pupils are in daily al.
tendance at our public schools. Y.

As the announcement Of the list OF ap-
poinlments Is about the last work con.

exercises, large number Of citizens,
members OF the church, and others had
gathered TO hear the announcements. The
hour Of 10 o'clock r. N. had almost
come and still the committee had
not returned. Some becoming uneasy
and tired went home, but many remained
patiently, and after time the commit.
tee put in appearance and the President
took his place 10 read the list. What
atillness creeps through an audience upon
the presentation Of such report Al.

still there is kind OF charm in the read.

gins. In listening our minds run out
over various fields Of labor; some will give
their new pastor hearty, cordial welcome;
others will be cold and Indifferent. Some
will be well paid, others will receive
scarcely enough 10 provide bread and
meat for their families, and yet all seem
to go out patiently and work faithfully
for the Master.
This session oil the Pittsburgh Confer
ence 10 one Of the most pleasant ever held.
The citizens have been much interested,
and have given it cordial support. Our
town is better because Of the presence Of
such hopeful influences.
Alter the reading Of the report the
President uttered few touching words,
a verse was sung, prayer offered and
the Conference adjourned 10 meet in
Sharpsburg, on the frat Wednesday in
September, 1878.
