A decision by a local court in Pennsylvania,
90 the effect that the counties In which tho
riots of last summer occurred are responsible
for the damage done, has filled the people of
Allegheny county, in which Pittsburg is sit
uated with alarm The prospect of being
compelled to pay s4,ooo,ooo or $5.Ooe.ooo Is not
pleasant. 1t will, however. be q good lesson
for the people In the future. Property-hold-
ers who know that they must foot the bills will
not stand idly by again when tramps and
rioters are burning and destroying the prop
erty OF others.

The reasons for the heavy decline Of last
week in wheat are thus sketched by McLaren
j. CO., Of Chicago:
The adviccs all the week from Europe have
been of peaceful character; the quantities
of wheat and flour on passage to the United
Kingdom have shown an increase of 175,00O
quarters on the previous sennight. The
weather here has been all that could be de-
sired for the crops. From Canada come glow
ing reports as to the appearance of the fields
and the extent of acrea % sown. From Cali
fornia we hear that harvesters are at pre-
MUM for the ingathering of the enormous
crops. From the South we learn that the
grain crops Of this season will exceed those
ST any previous year since 1865, and that in
many cases wheat has been sown in place of
obaceo. From Adelaide, in Australia, the
BILE flashes the news that the rains have
en- OF the greatest benefit to the growing
crops, and that the surplus wheat for export
from the last crop is over 100000 bushels.
Taking all these facts into consideration, the
net fail in prices on the week will perhaps not
be considered excessive.

The Arrangements for Furnishipg It at
GreenleafA.

OTCenxe81Ss
Although it is not usual to pay any attention
to misrepresentation published for advertising
purposes, yet the card under the caption of
The Standard Time" in the morning paper
contains SO many misstatements that We feel
compelled to correct the impression it is calcu-
lated to convey to those unacquainted with the
Senterprising, dc.," who publish it.
That the State hes adopted Carleton college
observatory time for its standard is too general
to merit notice, but the fact that none Of the
railroads centering here use it for their running
time is sufficient comment upon that portion of
the card. All the roads which have their head
quarters here, except one, will commence run
ming by ssNorthfeld time" on Monday next.
Nov. 4th, according to previous arrangement
with us. That the ''enterprising, &c. antici-
pated the need of the public, and were the first
TO negotiate for time signals, is refuted by the
subjoined card from Prof. w. W. Payne The
only portion of the card which seems to de-
serve credence is that which refers to the knowl-
edge that obtains in scientific circles the infer
ence being that the fact is not well known out
side, which will account for the apparent igno-
rance OF the "enterprising, &c.," about the
subject until the last week, when tbey became
aware that we had made the necessary prepara-
ton for having the signals in our store.
Respectfully, P. F. EAaAr,
The jewelry house of D. G. Greenleaf was the
first to negotiate with us for time signals. and
we We're aided by them in obtaining the neces-
sary telegraphio communication and in the
proposed introduction of the Northtield stan
