Speaking of recent election of Ben
Hill TO the Z. : Senate, from Georgia, cor
respondent OF the n. Y. Herald writing from
Atlanta, says: "The scene when the ballot
was closed was understandable. Grown men
wept like children, ;he members rushed 10
each others arms, hats went to the ceiling
and men jumped to the tops of the desks
The vast crowds IN the corridors now caught
the enthusiasm, the whole OF the great capitol
literally rang and tremhl'd with applause.
The deaisning cheers, coming mysteriOusly
from an invisible audience, entered every
door Of the House. drowning all -ther sounds.
The two houses separated in the tumult, and
the crowds hurried t. the telegraph office
and in ten inmates the news of HIS triumph
had gone all over tie STATE and the Union.

Foul Play in Kansas.

About three weeks ago George Clark
Jesse Eaton, Virgin Wright, and W. c. Pow.
ell, well known citizens OF Austin, Sumner
County, Kansas, lett that place for Kiowa
Barbour County, with four wagons loaded
with corn. Not returning at the time they
weree expected to, the opinion prevails that
they were murdered by Indians, and their
teams run of. The opinion is strengthened
by the report that the remains of fonr wagons
and harnesses have been found on the road
by hunters, and by the fact that party OF
Sioux passed through that section of the
country some time ago. A number Of friends
OF the missing men have started out in search
of them.

Trade in the mercantile line has been
unusually goUd tor mid-winter, in Wholesale

and that further advance may T. expected.

in wheat. There is quite a broad marg in

The local offerings Of wheat have been IN

have to note a very sharp decline within the

similar movement ia the great mark<ts, and
can only be accounted Tor by the suppOsition
that buyers found themselves paying more
for grain than It was worth, or than it was
likely to be worth Ia the spring. The sudden
hutiing down ola large number Of the -four
ing mills Of the State, lot onlyin MinnneapO-
lis but in nearly all the principal centres OF
flour manufacture, 9s undoubtedly lad de-
pressing influence on the current buying
price OF wheat. The reason given for this
evidently concerted movement is the alleged

its product, flour MillcIs asserted that they
lost money on every bushel of wheat that
they bought and Manufactured, although they
were careful not to give figures to support the

Board.
With regard TO the examination OF Kenner,
fthe Louisiana returning Board, by the Con-
gress0inal committees IN Washington, con-
corning certain alleged changes in the returns
OF Vernon parish, a Washington correspond
ent OF the Chicago Tribune states that the
Democrats have by some means become pos
sessed OF number OF the original returns,
and are confronting the returning board au-
thOrities with the same, much TO their sur
prise. How they became possessed of these
original documents seems to be one of those
mysteries which ''nO 1ellah can find out, -
but it is tact that they have possession o
the original returns from several parishes in
which changes and ensures appear, and Sex
pect to show that these changes have in
creased the Republican vote OF the State and
diminished the Democratic sufficiently to
elect Packard and thr'e Republican electors,
who were actually defeated, even after the
vote Of every poll which was challenged had
been rejected

means managed to grind up the APP

A sudden gloom was cast over this

committed suicide by hanging him
self, on Sunday, November 4Lh,
Saturday evening he attended an oys-
ter supper with his wife, at the TowL
Hall, and seemed to be in excellent
spirits, and he was thought to rest
we'll through the night. When lie
arose Sunday marning, he did not
seem as usual, yet the change was
not such as to attract attention at the
time. When breakfast was ready,
his wife spoke to him as he was sit
ting by the stove, asking him to come.

ound, and requesting them to SIT
down, went INTO the woodshed, and
from the shed up stairs over the room
where they were eating. The family
while at breakfast heard him moving
symething up stairs and then pass
out into the hall, down the front
stairs and, rs they supposed, out
doors. They thought he had gone in
to his father-in-laws house q few rods
away as he was accustomed to do
Sunday morning.
Some three hours after this his
brother when going through this
chamber to feed the horse, found him
hanging and dead. lie was immed-
lately taken down BY his brother and
father-in-law and means taken for
his restoration, but in vain
The theory that seems most proba-
BILE Is, that after leaving the kitchen,
he went up stairs and arranged the
rope and the box upon which he stood
to adjust it. then walked through the
chambers and down the front stairs
as though going out. to attract the
attention Of the family; then, with
all the caution of insanity, crept
stealthily up stairs, leaving the door
open so as to make no noise, and
committed the rash deed. No reason
other than insanity can ever be sur
Used for the act.
He was kind husband, respect
ed citizen, and an acceptable member
of the Congregational church; one of
the kindest and best of neighbors, al
ways ready TO assist in sickness, and
kind to all in trouble. He would
seem to be the last to commit a deed
that would cause all his friends the
deepest grief. He leaves wife and
child to mourn his untnnely loss.

Of Milo j. Temple which was receiv-

There will be a temperance meet
ing at the Town Hall next Tuesday
evening, November 18th. Ills hoped
