"GRUMBLINGS LOUD AND DEEP. -

There were loud complainings on Tuesday
night as to obtaining seats in the Carson Opera
House, especially in the dress circle. Several
of these complaints have reached the repOterial
ear, and the usher of the dress circle would
not feel at all comphmented were We to re-
peat the harsh things said of him. May be,
after all, he is not wholly responsible for the
annoyance of many who supposed they had
reserved seats, but discovered later that other
parties were in possession of them. Certain
it is that somebody is to blame. We have
the handsomest theater between Chicago and
San Francisco, and naturally enough are
proud of it, and this makes the regret keener
that anything should occur to mar the enter
tainments given therein. We suggest that the
ushers of the Opera House at once familiarize
themselves with the sections and numbers of
the building, and thus do their share toward
preventing a repetition of some of the I'M
pleasant and unadvertised scenes presented at
the recent performance of the Georgia Min
strels

LIVERPOOL COTTON AND GRAIN MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, September 27.-This weeks
circular OF the Liverpool Cotton Brokers'
Association says: "Cotton was in moderate
demand with free supply; quotations OF
most descriptions were reduced. American
was dull and inanmate, the demand being
freely met at i'd. decline. Sea Island was
freely offered, and in some instances at
lower rates. Futures were more freely Of
fered, with very limited demand; prices
declined 1-16d."
The leading grain circular says: "The
grain trade at the British market has been
dull during the week. Wheat generally de-
clined, especially new English, which in
most cases is so defective as to render its
sale difficult; finer qualities Of red Amer-
can steadier and generally held for previous
rates. The continental demand continues
for cargoes off the coast. At this market to-
day there was 4 moderate attendance; red
wheat in good demand, and, owing to the
scarcity, advanced 3D.; other descriptions
unaltered. Flour steady. Corn In fair bust

of Health to-day has issued a notice to the
people Of the United States that rumors Of
a nature highly exciting and prejudcial 10
our city have spread over the country as to
the yeilow.fever being epidemic here. They
deem it their duty to announce in the most
emphatic terms that such statements are
false and unchristlan attempts to iniure COM
mercially people who have tried to do
their full duty to their suffering southern
brethren. and affirm sacredly that, while
there may have been several instances Of
yelow-fever of an indigenous character,
even upon this there has been great diver
sity Of opinion among our most prominent
and able physicians; nor has there been u
new case since Monday last. There have
already been several frosts, and. with the
city in never SO exceptionally a healthy con-
dition, they have no hesitation in assuring
friends who may be absent and the people
OF the country at large that there bias not
been. nor is there now, epidemic Of any
character whatever.

has cut twenty-five cords good wood
from the first clearing. We believe that
good fire-wood could be raised in seven
years from the a,lanthus planted In guilies

have seen locust-seed sown, and good, yalu-
able lumber produced on WORKOUT land.
Much may be done in this way to improve
large tracts OF WORKOUT land and get them
In condition to pay for clearing, enclosing,
