A STORY of genuine romance in real
life comes from Marysville, Ohio. A
promising young man of the place, son
of one of its most esteemed merchants,
was engaged to be soon married to a
beautiful young lady, who, few days
before the day set for the wedding, was
taken sick and died Her bereaved low
er was inconsola BILE, and resolved to put
an end to his life. He first wrote this
letter to his parents: What have l to
live for? | often think of drinking to
drown my troubles, but that would not
be showing respect to the one so dearly
loved. Rather than to become drunk
ard, | will end it all by dose of prussic
acid. Ny last wish is that | be buried
next to Dora, and that two monuments
be erected over our graves, to cost not
less than $500" Then proceeding to
the room of his late betrothed, he threw
himself upon her death-bed, swallowed
the drug and breathed his last. He was
buried beside her in the cemetery, and a
monument will be erected according to
his wish.

"MUsHRoON towns" are generally
supposed to be confined to comparatively
young countries like our own, but the
London Builder applies the term to GER
tain portions of London's own suburbs
which have sprung up and spread widely
within a few months time. One of
these new suburban settlements which
includes about twelve roads and streets
and about 600 houses, the greater por-
ton of them occupied, was laid out
about a year ago, and the first brick laid
in September, 1877, and from present
appearances it gives promise ere many
more months elapse to house a popula-
ton of nearly 1000 inhabitants.

cattle, and 300 head of sheep, and will
thus go far toward feeding the British

failure, she seems to be destined to be a

mother country and her Republican
daughter. She could not be better en-
gagged than in the cattle trade, which
promises to increase steadily.

New York Butter and Cheese Market.
BUTTER-Referring to the trade in gem
eral way, we find increased receipts and an
easier feeling in common, medium, and
even good butter. Strictly fine, both state
and western are less affected, but what
| looked like an advance a few DAYS ago,
looks almost the other way this morning.
Choice state dairies and creamery were ad-
vanced 192c soon after last report, but are
weak now at the advance. Shippers are re-
stricting their operations, which throws
considerable more butter in the way of
home buyers, who begin to insist on lower
prices. Western creamery falls but a little
way behind state, and not over 1c difference
is made in prices. The dairy butter, how
ever, in generally poor, and seldom reaches
outside quotations, though some of the finest
marks bring a trife more. Fancy marks
of ladle-packed Iowa butter sell freely at 1401
15c, though it must be strictly fne-havored
to reach the latter figure in fact the outside
quotations of our entire list must be consid.
cred the extremes. Just at the moment the
market is unsettled, with the tendency
rather in favor of a decline. Quotations
Creamery, fine, 25026c p ID; do fair to
good, 20@24c; dairy, tubs, choice, 15M17c
do, fair to good 12@14c; do, poor to fair

fair to good, 8@10c; do, poor to fair, 748c
tirkins, selections, 13c; do, fair to good, 1O
@12c.
CHEEsE-There is a good demand for
fancy, mild favored September cheese at
94c, but after leaving this grade there is a
dull trade, with prices relatively low. Even
the last half of August make are rejected
by many buyers. The home trade has been
very good, it being estimated that it reached
$4,000 to 10000 boxes last week Tele-
graphic information from Liverpool is to
the effect that receipts are light and stock
moves more readily at the advance. 1t is
also autl critically announced that not to
exceed 10000 boxes of cheese are now on
the Liverpool market, which certainly is a
favorable sign. The majority of the
stock now offered is sharp offavor
cheese, and for such there appears
no demand. This makes trade ex-
tremely dull for all except the finest or ldes
of late make. Fine Ohio cheddars are in
limited supply, and the market is firm at
ST@9c; fine flats sell about the same as
cheddars. Quotations: State factory, fancy,
