A Lecherous Post,na.tcr.

I, The sensation in Cincinnati on the 1st
inst, was the suit brought against the ncwly
installed postmaster, J. ?. Lodge by Jos. j.
Crane, who begs to have judgement rendered
in his favor in the sum Of $40, 900 against post
master J.P Lodge Of Cincinnati, as compen-
sation to himself, plaintiff, and penalty against
J. P. Lodge for debauching the wife of the
aforesaid Joseph j. Crane and alternating her
affections. The petition sets forth, that the
seductive proceedings of postmaster Lodge
commenced in October, 1874, and have been
continued efficiently and necessarily ever
since It is alleged, but not in the petition
that postmaster Lodge has this woman now
in his employ in the Cincinnati post office.

Foreign Grain Markets.

The Mark Lane EGpress says the agri
cultural outlook is decidedly less favorable
than three week ago. Unless dry forcing
weather comes quickly the hope for an album
dant cereal harvest must be abandoned. Grass
is everywhere abundant, and the hay crop
will be very large. The glowing reports of the
condition of the crops in America and other
grain producing countries, added to the
quiescent state of politics, has rendered the
wheat trade remarkably dull and almost stag
nant. Notwithstanding the adverse weather
and light foreign shipments for London trade
has been continually lethargic, and the
amount Of business so insignificant as to
furnish no index of the course of prices. En-
glish wheat at the country markets declined
two shillings, but farmers were not eager to
sell. Much of the inactivity has doubtless
been owing to the suspense about the Eastern
question. As few days will probably deter
mine the course of affairs, movement in
trade, even if downward, may be expected
soon. Maize is lower and quiet in conse-
quence Of heavy American shipments for the
week ending the 10th. The floating cargo
trade for wheat was dull at former prices.
There have been few arrivals at ports of call.
Maize yielded one shilling and one shilling I'D.
again owing to American shipments. Sales

from Jamaica. He is accompanied by two

The strength of the patriot army to-day is not
much over 4, 600 men, but they are; well armed
