he was confident remained in South Car

mind. Patterson gravely informed the
Chief Executive that in his Patterson's)
opinion the President had made great
mistake in ousting Chamberlain by with
drawing the troops from the State House.
He sought to touch the tender spot in
the Presidents nature by saying that he
would as soon have Hampton for Gov
ernor as Chamberlain, provided he would
treat all citizens alike. But the Presi>
DENTAL hemorrhage refused to flow. Mr..
Hayes has faith in Hampton, believes
him honest and is willing to trust him.
Consequently Simon's son-in-law went
off with flea lin his ear, and the troops
will not be sent back to the State House.

NINE OF WEALTH.-On the farm of
Mr.. II. +. Henderson, in West Pike
land township, Chester county exists
as fine deposit of fire clay as can be
fonnd in the State. The bed underlies
an area of three acres and is about one
foot below the surface; while its depth
is unknown; a bore of twenty-six feet
does not extend through the clay.
Near the surface it has light blue tint.
but beneath it is as white as chalk and
when dried has the appearance of
Double Extra Flour. Washing the clay
shows the presence of lead in consi-
derable quantity, and test of the mat
erial proves it to be superior article for
the manufacture of fire bricks for mills,
foundries, stove works, &C.. while it
can be largely used in the pottery busi-
ness.-West Chester Local Ne,cS.

South Carolina. requesting them to
turn ever their office TO their successors,
subject to the decision of the Su-
preme Court. when it shall be filled by
the election of Chief Justice, after
the meeting of the Legislature on the

cials addressed will decline TO yield
their offices, on the grounds that they
hold them by declaration of the State
Canvassers; that thev were commits
stoned by Governor Chamberlain while
his title was uudisquted; that Governor
Hampton has no right to anticipate the
judgment of the Supreme Court, and
that his action is violation of his
pledges to leave disputed questions to

The EFFECT OF AN EASTERN WAR
ON THE UNITED STATEs.-The effect
that war between Russia and Turkey
would have on the United States may
be conjectured by studying our market
reports. The hsstile rumors which
have been flying between the capitals
of Europe for the past few days have
led to sharp rice in American wheat
and all breadstuifs. Other causes
have operated to stiffen the market for
these products for the past six months;
bat it is noticeable that American
wheat has been steadily advancing
since the early part of last fall, when
the Eastern question began to be most
threatening. Since then the rise in
wheat has been nearly 60 cents a
bushel. The prevalent belief that the
spring would see the opening of a
great war in the Easthas certainy done
its part in this improvement of prices.
From these facts we may conclude
that such war would be materially a
benefit to trade and commerce in the
United States. 1t would create large
European demand for American grain
and flour and provision of all kinds,
and the effect of this would be to
stimulate manufactures and business
TO- neary every branch of industry.
Ocean freight would partake of the
improvement, and if England were
dragged by circumstances into the vor-
tex of the war. American commerce,
having the preference for the carrying
trade, would get a start which it has
not enjoyed tor nearly twenty years.
American with these thoughts in their
minds, to say nothing of the concern
which they feel in the promotion of
Christianity and civilization in Tur-
key, will eagerly watch every days
development of the Eastern question.

POULTRY RAIsINe'-Many farmers and
poultry raisers do not raise their Spring
chickens as early as they might do.
with little trouble and loss of fowlss
Some, however, understand that early
Spring chickens are valuable for mar

Spring. Mr. Arch Kilsatrick. living
mere Dowpingtown. has as fine brood
of Spring chickens as it is possible to
raise having three hundred or more in
number of the White Cochin breed,
ready for market. He may therfor be
said to be first-class poultry raiser

A sad story is related of lady at
party in London whose dress and form
were faultness. just before dinner an
admirer offered her a flower from his but
tonhole, which she fastened to her dress
with a pin. AS they went down to din
ner, the gentleman thought he heard a
noise as though wind were escaping from
a bellows. The lady soon lost her fair
proportions. and the tightly fitting dress
was most baggy. 1t appears Il 1T the
latest fashion for thin ladies dresses is an

this afternoon. Between three and four hundi ed
persons were present. In the community where
Tie crime was committed the opinion seems TO be

murder on the part of Flanders, and not an act of
SELF defence. or done to protect his mother from
the violence of Austin. 1t Is sta ed that Austin
laid in 1ooksett the afternoon before he was shot
that his step son had threatened TO shoot him, aud
that he afraid that 1t might be done that night
wound WAS discovered on the top of Austin's
bead after death, which Indicated that he was
struck after being shot.

to Mantoba for Sl3 apiece, but will not bring
Thorn back short of 500. Therefore they are
obliged 10 remain there and live the best way they
can. Some OF the party that returned to this city
say that they walked about 200 miles, and by paw
ing about $50 after that, succeeded in reaching
this city.
