NEWS OFTHE WEEK.
Mark Lane Rev1ew.

The Mark Lane Erpress, in review, OF
the British corn trade the past week, says:
Wheat cutting has commenced a week earlier
this season than last year, thanks to the
weather. In spite Of complaints Of blight and
defective cars, the advices in the main are sat

expected deficiency the crop win be . fair
average Sone-that is, about thirty bushels to
the acre. Barley has improved little, owing
to recent showers, and where early sown' on
good mixed soil the crop promises fairly well;
but in the eastern counties especially the
grain has suffered much from blight and pre-
mature ripening. The yield in these districts
will be poor. Roots are doing well but
Scotland, where potatoes and turnips are euf-
fering for want of moisture. There was very
little change in the trade for English wheat,
which was quiet, but steady. Supplies were
moderate. Fresh threshed samples command
full prices. Occasional samples of new crop
have been shown by growers Imports Of
foreign wheat into London have been more
moderate and the foreign wheat trade main
tains its frmncss, Notwithstanding the proxi-
unity of the harvest. Lower prices telegraph

crease their stocks. The weeks sales have
been fair. Their does not IN the immediate

Maize on the spot has eased slightly in Lon

heavy arrival of shipments from Atlantic
ports, but prices for cargoes off the coast are
maintained, owing to selectios.

Destructivo Tornado.

On the afternoon of the 9th inst, ter
rible tornado, fatal to life and destructive to
property, swept over portion of New Eng-
land, Northeastern New York, and into Can
ada The great and most destructive force of
the tornado was in and about Walingford
Conn. There 10 houses and so barns were
destroyed, and from twenty to thirty persons
killed, and as many more wounded. There it
it blew over houses, uprooted trees and caused
the greatest devastation. It is estimated that
the killed will number at least twenty, while
the wounded will reach that number Tele-
crap wires and poles were blown down, max
ing it impossible to communicate with New
Haven on the South, or Meridian, or Hartford
to the north. The greatest excitement pre-
walls, and the widest rumors are afioat as to
the loss Of life. The tornado was confined to
blet Of territory about half a mile wide, and
the whole loss of life took place on the sand
plains, about quarter of mile north OF the
railroad station, near the line OF the New
York. New Haven & Hartford railroad.
The scene was memorable one. The wood
On houses were carried clear off their founda-
tions, from few feet to the height of mile
In the line of the tornado nothing was left
standing, and on each side OF the track lesser
damage was done, chimneys especially suffer-
ing. The Catholic church, wooden, and the
new brick High school, were totally demol-
ished. The top Of the brick factory of the
Wallingford community, was carried away.
Fire was communicated to the ruins in many
cases by lamps and stoves, and but tor the rain

Mistaken Kindness.

Those amiable people who are never
50 happy as when doing service to man
or beast, may sometimes err through
want of judgement. For instance, the
old man in this story:
There is an old getleman that comes
into town on foot every morning, who
appears to he great friend to dumb an
imals. Whenever he sees dog scratch
ing at the shop-door to be let in he
promptly opens it for the animal. The
other morning he made mistake in the
dog business. He let one in, and soon
the same canine came rushing between
his legs, nearly throwing him down, and
covering the lower part of his trousers
with paint.
A man with overslls on was chasing
the dog, trying to get at him with a
paint-brush he had in his hand. The old
gentleman expostulated with the iratt
painter--for such he proved to be-say'
ing:
"My good man, why do you wish to
hurt that dog?"
because he has tipped over my paiut
and made an awful mess of everything

A Little Boys Terrible Death.

A bri ight little fellow aged six and-a-
half years, named George Kraus, has been
in the nabit lateiv of going to tannery,
where bis father was employed, and after
spending the afternoon in play &C.
comp.nying his father home. Day before
yesterday, at about two o'clock in the
afternoon, he went to the tanLery; and
after greeting his father, went out into
the lanyard. This was the last time he
was seen alive. As has since been de-
veloped, he, in walking across the inclos-
ure, inadvertently stepped into a vat---
f1om which the hides had been Withdrawn
containing strong solution of tannin
liquor seven feet in DEPTH. The sharp,
biting fluid bought INN cdiate uncon.
seriousness, and the body Of the the child,
after rising the usual number of times,
sank to the bottom, and when the parent
came along little latter, the dark smooth
surface gave no indication Of his sons
dreadful fate. Mr.. Kraus then, in prose-
cution of bis work, stopped at that iden-
tical vat, and threw into it, on his son,
seventy-tour raw hides, and then went
elsewhere and did other work.
That night, when he went home,
Georgie was missing. Search was made
for him all through the house and about
the neighborhood, but without success.
Unable to rest, the father put on bis coat
and hat and went the rounds of the sta
tion. houses, hoping to find the supposed
wanderer among the lost children. The
efforts were fruitless, and night of mis-
cry was passed by the distracted parents.
Yesterday morning search was resumed,
and the now nearly frantic father went
to the tannery and began a systematic
examination Of the tannery premises. At
two O'Clock in the afternoon he began on
the vat in which he had cast the hides
the day before. One by oae he pulled
them out by aid Of pole with hook on
the end. Sixty-two had been taken out
in this way when the next lift brought
the dead child to the top. The father,
on seeing him, gave one desparing cry,
and, letting go Of the pole, staggered
forward and would have fallen in but for
the strong arm of a bystander, who, after
laying the father, who had tainted, on
tine ground, fished the corpse out and
had it conveyed to the family residence.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

MONDAY, August l2-The Potter COM
mittee re ,umed its session. but all the men,
bers not being present, no witnesses were ex-
amined. Stanley Matthews had been sum-
moned but refused to appear. Gen. Butler re-
marked that If Matthews answered that he
would not attend or obey the summons OF the
House Of Representative, the sooner the issue
was male, the better for the House and Sen
ate, SO that the power of both can be deter
mined. He therefore moved that it be enter
ed on record that Matthews refused to appear
before the committee and that the same be
reported to the House for their action in the
matter. Mr.. Potter remarked that he would
entertain Buffers motion, but thought it bet
ter to await the presence of Hiscock and
Singer before voting on it. He therefore
adjoured the committee ill IL o'clock to.
morrow. The committee then went into OK.

Failure or the kFAFm OF the Governor OF
Ohio.

Failure OF the ArhFn OF the 4aovernor Of
Ohio.
About thirty-two of the New York
creditors of Richard NJ. Bishop & Co., grocers
of Cincinnati, met on the 9Th inst, in New
York. VIM. T. Bishop, a son, and W. s. Dick
enson, a son-in-law of Richard NJ. Bishop,
were present. Mr.. Arnold read schedule
Of the liabilities of the firm as follows: In
New York, $145, 600; in Philadelphia, SIG,
in Boston $4,000; in Baltimore, 5000; and
$iS4 4,525.85 due in different small cities, near
~ all in the West. The liabilities were stated
to BE- S256,S2S70, the assets of the firm being
$23322S and the individual assets of Rich
ard NJ. Bishop and W. 7. Bishop being 81, 600.
1t is understood that sharp questions were
asked in regard to the management of
one business for the last few years, which
". T. Bishop answered promptly. He attrib-
uted the failure of the,1rm chiefly to the heavy
depreciation of real estate, but told of losses
by the Climax Moving Machine company,
through which $50, 900 was lost in investments
in machines and $4,000 in stock. Referring
to rumor that Gov. Bishops electioneering
expense had something to do with the failure,
his son, it is said, stated to the creditors yes
terday that the Governors campaign expense
did not exceed $65OO, and that he had OF
drawn over $50 from the firm since he has
occupied the gubernational chair.

AN ANECDoTE OF THE PRINCE OF HuMOR-

AN ANECDOTE OF THE PRINCE OF HuMOR-
lists.
Says the San Francisco Golden Era
Those who knew John Phoenix (Lieuten-
ant Dcrby)-knew him as We iid-will
be glad to read the following striking
auecdJte, so characteristic of his noble
nature. All who knew Derby will re-
member that there was nothing about
him or his humor resembling those sour,
discontented, practical jokers so naturally
and justly tabooed in society. Good
nature and good fellowship he cherished
and beyond these, save in the way of
harmless lnirth, he never swerved. 1t
Was not in him. His power of face was
something wonderful, and this is suf-
ficiently attested by the anecdote.
He was sitting one evening in the guests
lolling- room of the old Oriental Hotel.
when little beggar girl came in, and
with the keen discernment of little peo-
pie in general, noticed his child-loving
benevolent countence, and approached
him, asking aims. She was very young,
innocent-lcoking, and had none of the
juvenile whine of persistency of most
young medicants whom one meets in the
streets and in the halls of our public
hotels.
Phenix at once assumed mournful
expression Of face, and began to talk, as
1t were, eontdent,ally and affectionately
to her. He told her that his father was
long since dead, and that he was now
left entirely alone in the world; that be
was then but little boy, with nobody to
look to, and often had not known where
to sleep at night.
The little girls blue eyes began to
mcisten; the l"lling guests, most of whom
knew Lieutenant Derby, gathered around,
when what was their surprise to see the
sympathetic beggar-child 60 close up to
him, and, in a quiet, confidential way
take out of the inside pocket Of her soil
eu and tattered frock all the money
which she had gathered through the day,
and place it in his hand. 1t is needless
to say that the tender-hearted and
courageous little donor of her hard day s
earnings had not only her small yet great
benefaction restored, but went away with
great possessions, educed from the
pockets Of the sympathetic bYstanders.
