English Grain Market.

LONDON, Decemb Der 4.-The Mark Lane
Express says of the weekly review ol the
British trade: English wnest continues
to be marketed spsringly in London and
provinces. Imports OF foreign wheat TO
London have not been so excessive lately.
Mondays return gives $4,000 quarters.
The falling off Is chiefly noticeable in
Indian produce, OF which prospective
imports n sy be more moderate, as Cal
cutts advices speak Of the inadequate
slate of inland transportation and conse-
quent difficulty of charters In full filing
their engagements. The open season
has enabled shipments to be con-
tinued from st. Petersburg and
our market remains dull; supplied
with the useful class OF Russian wheat.
A good inquiry was for American de
scrlptions, but shipments are not
taking place 80 freely, business of. The
stands have been exceedingly quiet, but
prices show sn advance of one shilling
per quarter, on all desc riptions. Re-
quirements OF the country are being
fully met by weekly imports. Wheat
and the present attitude of trade is de-
voio OF speculation, strict attention be-
ing turned to political affairs. Ameri-
can maize has lost some Of It's
recent activity, but half prices are still
obtsinsble and unusually light imports
OF this grain render it unlikely any
marked decline will occur as long as the
southern European ports remain block
AIDED, and the export trade IN America
is directed on wheat, Grinding barley
improved six pence to shilling per quar-
ter at Mark Lane, and IN the country
osts and other varieties Of feeding corn
met with quiet sale at the late rates.

Insufficient Bonds.

Among the subjects that received
special attention was that of several
nominations to postofiices. Sometime
ago the postof1ice officials reviewed the
bonds given by postmssters throughout
the country, and it was found that quite
a NUM- per were under insufficient bonds
These officials were ordered 70 file new
bonds, but many of them could
not find bondsmen in the commu-
mites IN which their duties lay, and
they were consequently suspended, and
men nominsted who furn shed the
required bonds. The failure to confirm
the new sppointees ls the source Of much
trouble, for, under the isw, the suspend
ed iunctionsries continue TO administer
the affairs of their respective offices, some
of them serving who are not under bonds
at sll.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean heartily
sgrses with Mr.. LEIGHToN in his estimate
Of the use of the dramatic form Of COM
position. "He argues, and correctly, that
4 drama has broader, wider field,
greater freedom of thought, of magma
ton, and character when freed from the
psrsphernslis and tinsel and adaptation
Ofths thester. The dramatic form ofcom-
position reproduces more living
characters, and their peculiari-
ties are brought more vividly
bsiore the mind of the reader than any
other method. The criticism that ev-
cry drama must necessarily be a compo'
sltion fitted for the stage is tsll cy.
The volume before the reader torcibly
illustrates the striking effects of dramatic
composition IN its power TO abs Irb and
interest as the characters walk before
him upon the imaginary stage. The book
hn real merit, and will furnish smuse-
ment and instruction for many winter
evening in the quietude of the library
and the home"

TEsTIFYING As EXPERTS.

Wheeling doctors are not the only
people who believe that professions al
knowledge is something that should be
paid for a. a greater price than $l.50 per
day. Some time ago the real estate
agents Of st. Louis, annoyed by the fre.
quency with which they were called to
give $40 worth Of information to q court
for $l.60, passed resolution that they
would in the future charge the courts as
much as they would anybody else; and
now comes case, cut at Fort Wayne,
Indiana, involving the doctors. In this
latter case, two physicians have got
themselves into Jail for refusing to give
testimony as experts.
There is much reason in the demand
for compensation in proportion to ser.
vics rendered, yet good deal can be said,
as the law now stands, upon both sides.
Once admit that the State is justified in
taking citizens from their ordinary occu-
pstions, merchants from their stores, me-
chsnIcs from their shops, farmers from
their plows, without any regard to the
value of their time, 10 testify as to facts
within their knowledge, or TO act as
Jurors, it will puzzle the best of Us to dis
cover why doctor or real estate agent
should be exempt; nor does it matter
much whether the enforced attendance is
for the purpose of teshfying as an expert
for sitting rs sjuror to hear the testi-
mony of others. But the principle OF
work without pay is vicious one; in
the long run the State gets no more SER
vice than it pays for, and while it may
occasionally make clear profit of eight
dollars and half by getting ten dollars
worth of experience for one dollar and
fifty cents, the cause of justice is likely
to oftener suffer from the way in which
an experts testimony Is biased by this
compulsIon. This question, however, can
only be reached by going behind the
whole jury system, which, in its present
condition, is miserable farce, and which
prevents more justice than 1t
helps. Nine out of ten of the cases
which are now tried before iuries, could
be settled more cheaply, quickly and
Justly without resort to this sntiqusted
institution, and if this were done, it
might be possible to convince lsw-givers
of the policy of paying jurors, witnesses
and experts the value of their time and
of their services.

A Sad Warning 70 Parents-Free

WASHINGTON, PA, Dec. 4, 1877.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 4, 1877.
The little child of John Msrgerum,
which was so severely burned on Thanks
giving day, died the next evening: after
suffering most intense pain, and was
buried on Sunday afternoon. While
not intending to reaec! upon the parents
for any wsnton csrelessness, nor to add
ningle psng to their intense grief, yet
the habit of parents in leaving small
children alone with no older response
BILE person has been productive OF 50
many fatalities, that the practice cannot
but be censured. La the winter, in cold
tenement houses where large fires are
necessary to keep the rooms any
thing like in q comfortable condition,
great care should be exercised in
guarding little ones, and II they
must be left alone, as is sometimes the
case, some screen or guard should be
placed around the fire. and 1t is to be
hoped that this sad occurrence may put
parents on their guard.
A short time ago the experiment OF
a free reading room was begun IN our
town and its success is well nigh assured.
A fine room has been fitted up and
furnished with comfortable chairs and
benches while the tables are covered with
the current literature of the day, mot OF
the yellow back or dime novel character,
however, where the young boys are To-
yited every evening without charge.
These rooms are well attended and the
interest is increasing.
This is not to take the place
of the fine library donated
10 the borough by DR.. lie.

certain annual fee, to be resd at home,
but It's design is to furnish pleasant
place for evening psstime, where the
Young bows NAV meet their friends and
improve their minds at the same time.

The monotony OF hotel life wss some
what varied to-day, at the Valentine
House, by the arrival of party OF per.
sons from the southern eide OF town, two
OF which party desired to be joined in the
BAT ds OF holy mstrimony. The high
contracting parties were George Swsrt,
Esq, of Amwell township, this county,
and Mrs. Ellen Hopkins of Greene
county. The knot was securely, yet very
gracefully, tied by Rev. J. F. Dyer, OF
the Methodist Church, who hsd accom-
panied them here for that purpose. AL
though several winters have interviewed
them since they passed their "teens,' yet
they left for your city 'just as happy as
married folks" W.

Case OF Cnniain Perry.

SAN Francisco, December A Port
land dispatch says; General Howard
has approved of the finding of the Cour:
of Inquiry in the case OF Captain David
Perry, charged by the citizens of Idaho
with neglectlng to succor band OF voluI-
teers when pressed by the Indisns, At the
Cotton wood fight. The findings are to
the effect that Perry could not know the
character OF the volunteers till they were
attacked; that de.sy OF about ten
minutes occurred after the attack before
sending the troops to their RELIEF, and thst
the volunteers received no additional H.
Jury on account OF the delsy. No testi-
mony wss elected rejecting or the cour-
age of Captain Perry, and the findings
exonerste him from having made sq im-
proper delay under the circumstances
b.ing nearly surrounded himself by hos
tile Indians.

WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE.

Yesterday We noted the present con-
dition OF the work on the line of railroad
under construction between Martins
Ferry and Ssndusky The condition OF
the work ls not such ss it might have
been, if the programme and contracts OF
the old board q. directors of that COM
psny had beer carried out. About
one year ago there was 8
change in the management OF the
rosd, Mr.. WOOD, the original head
Ot the enterprise, being deposed and the
engineer, Mr.. ROBINSON, placed in his
Gesd Some time prior to this
change, & contract WAS entered into by
he directory with Mr.. DARRAH, who is
now heavy contractor on the Wheel
Ing and Tuscsrswss railroad, for the
building of the entire line, grading,
bridging, trsck-lsyitg, bslssting and
making the rusd ready for the
cars, for the moderate sum of
5000 per mile, the company to furnish
The iron and ties only. But one-hslf OF
this amount, $4,000, WAS payable out OF
The local subscriptions, and the remain
ing half was to be paid in bonds OF the
company. Mr.. DARRAH was sn energetic
and successful contractor. There Is no
doubt but he would have been far along
With the work by this time. The money
70 psy him could have been procured,
indeed it was already about subscribed
Along the line. Under these circumstan-
ces We believe We risk little IN
saying, that had Mr.. WOOD remained at
the head of the enterprise, and had his
efforts been fully seconded by the board
Of directors, and his contrscts been car
ried out in good faith, we should soon
have seen a completed road between
Martins Ferry and Ssndusky.
. But Mr.. WOoD WAS deposed, his con-
tracts were set aside, and new one was
entered into with Mr.. WILSON,
Of New York, who had already
given evidence OF his untrustworthiness.
This contract WAS 8 much less favorable
one, even II the contractor had been 8
Iuoeesstul and reliable one. After build
hg few miles Of the road, gotten into
deb. 70 sll sorts OF people, for sll sorts Of
'upPlies, upon sll sorts of pretenses, and
brought many complications upon the
road, Mr.. WILSON has found it more
agreeable to take boarding and lodging
some hundreds of miles away from
the scene of his exploits, In the
meantime, the work on the rosd is
practically suspended, and the sub
scribers to its stock are groping IN the
log as 70 its future.
From all we can gather in converse
"on with parties in the secrets of the
management, there il slim reason TO hope
'of any good 10 result unless the stock
lohen shall come forward and reorgsn-
"s' putting good men at the head again.
