Increase in the Commerce Of Baltimore,

The Baltimore papers Of Saturday last con 8.
tanned 4 table showing the increase of trade
at that port during the last year, from WHICH
We extract the following:
September is considered in the grain
trade the date for commencing the statistical
year, the new crops being usually marketed
about that time. The statistics of the wheat
and corn exports from Baltimore in the twelve
months ended with to-day, compared with
the same previous period, show that wheat
exports increased six-fold, and though in corn
there was a falling off, the aggregate gives
nearly 10000, 600 bushels increase. The fig
ures are as follows From September /,
1877, to August 81, 1878, wheat 13, ,23l ,794
bushels; corn, 1898, AS bushels. Total.
32, $50, 2hnshels. From September l, 1876,
TO August 81, 1871 Wheat 2,O36, ls6 bushels,
corn, 20, 1871 ,609 bushels. Total. ~, S33, ,Tg5
bushels; increase, 9,3l6,447 bushels The
falling off in corn is due to the concentration
of interest in the shipment of wheat, which
now commands the attention Of nearly the
whole trade. The present month of August
the wheat exports have been phenominally
large from Baltimore, reaching 4 PSI, ,s3T bush
els or more than twice as great than for the
whole twelve months of lS76-77 given above.
In August, last year, 90 vessels of all classes
arrived at Baltimore for cargoes, while this
month 1877 have come up to port. The foreign
exports this month are valued at 81 200, 900,
or double that of any month Of last year,
the exports of petroleum, tobacco, cotton,
canned goods, lard, tallow, bacon and the
other domestic products all show increased
volume, and the remaining months of 1878
will undoubtedly give totals much in excess
of any similar period in the. history of the

| OUTRAGEs ny TRANPs.-The vicinity OF
Lilitz, Lancaster county, Pa, is greatly troub-
| led by tramps. On Saturday six of the des-
/ peradoes entered the house of Mr.. Joseph
| Boucher and demanded pies. When told
| there we're none in the house they threatened
the occupants with pistol The same party
afterwards tried to stop the wagon of Mr.. Pc
ter Zeller, and fired several shots over his
horse to compel him to halt, but help appear
ed and they moved away. They were pursued
| by party of citizens, captured and sent to
Jail after desperate resistance
Mr.. G. L. Gibson, dealer in agricultural i'm
plements, Frederick, Nd, while returning
home on Tuesday night in a buggy from a
monthly collecting tour in the upper portion
of the county, was caught, bound and gagged
by four rough characters, supposed to have
been tramps, about five miles from Frederick,
and robbed of $500. The demands of the
robbers we're enforced BY a revolver held at
their victims head After accomplishing
| their purpose they fed, and have not yet been
apprehended, although the county officers are
in pursuit.
Three men, giving the names Of Wm.
Johns, VIM. Harlan and John Cramer, were
arrested at Hagerstown Nd, Tuesday night,
on the charge of having set FIRE to the barn oi
Mr.. ]. j. Spessard, near Marion, Pa, on
Monday night. There were about two thou
sand bushels of wheat and quantity of oats,
harness, &c, burned with the barn. The
men were pursued here from Greencastle by
Mr.. Spessard's son and friend, and after
their arrest were taken before Justice Wright,
who committed them TO jail for hearing.
On the 3lst ult. seven tramps called at the
dwelling of John Welty, distiller, near Smiths
burg, Washington county, Nd, and demand
ed whiskey. Being refused, they remained
broke into his kitchen and ate everything they
could find. Mr.. Welty sent for help, but be-
fore it came the tramps left, and though pur-

There is a marked difference between a
simple note of hand payable to creditor and
a note drawn payable to order of maker and
endorsed by him to the creditor, which the
Journal Of Commerce thus plainly shows -
A note signed by John Smith and payable to
James Brown mot to the order of Brown
and containing no words implying that it was
payable to his order, is not negotiable, aud,
If assigned or transferred to another, the lat
ter takes it subject to all the equities existing
between the original parties. A note to the
order of another (some States make pro-
vision also that it shall be payable at some
particular place. is negotiable, and title passes
by endorsement, the possessor for value hay
ing o good claim against the maker, no mat
ter what the claims Of the original payee may
have been. There is little difference between
a note to the order of the maker, aud by him
endorsed, and a note to the order of another,
save that the former may be transferred by
possession and without further endorsement.

The Paris Exhibition is pronounced by a
correspondent of the New York Times ''the
greatest financial failure of the nineteenth
century," and the opinion is expressed that
international Exhibitions have followed each
other too rapidly, and that an interval ot
twenty or twenty-five years should be allowed
between any two of them. 1t is not probable
that the opinion quoted above is sound one,
since the same writer says Neither Wen
ma, Philadelphia nor Paris has really gained
anything by their shows 1t is of course a
difficult matter to trace out all the indirect
benefits that have accrued to exhibitors from
display of the best products of their work
shops, but very large number of Philadel-
phia exhibitors are well satisfied with the
returns from the display of their goods at
the Centennial Exhibition, and foreign mar
kets have certainly been opened for some
Philadelphia manufacturers as a direct result
of the International Exhibition of 1876.
There are fftytwo thousand exhibitors at
Paris, and, notwithstanding the unusual lib
erality of the judges, only about $4,000 will
receive awards, leaving nearly one-half of the
exhibitors to go home with the assurance from
the judges, if not from the public, that they
must improve their products in order to gain
awards and business. Such exhibitors may
lose money by International Exhibitions, but
their losses should be balanced by the gains
of their successful rivals, and the general re :
suit be improvement in the methods of doing
work and in the products of human industry
and skill.-Phitadelphi Ledger.

ASLow DEATH-A correspondent furnishes
the Centreville, Md. Citizen with the follow
ing account of the touching death and long
suffering of a little son of David Jones, Esq,
of Kent Island On Thursday night last,
John Calvin of FIVE summers, son of Capt.
David Jones, of Kent Island, died after a
most painful illness Of eighteen months con-
| tinuanee, oeGasioned by swallowing some
concentrated lye. There are facts in con-
nection with this case worth relating and
remembering. During all that time the child
ate nothing but in liquid, and swallowed this
with great difficulty. But what is strangesi
of all of nineteen days before ne died he took
only two teaspoonfuls of sweet milk-not an.
other drop OF anything entered his stomach.
Ard during these nineteen days and nights
not one thing left his system. 1t is frequent
ly the case patient can and does subsist for
weeks on medicine, but this child could swal
low nothing His throat was entirely closed
| How he lived so long will always be a mystery
He often asked for cool water, but only took
it into his mouth where he held it for a mo-
ment, and seemed to derive sustenance there
from, and yet such, we presume, was not the
/ case.

Her Nepheic Declares that She icas Bedrid
den and Wdred no F7ag.

10 THE EDITOR or n. Y. SCX-Sir 81 have
Just read a communication to The Sum pur-
porting TO set forth certain facts in relation 10
the iiie and character of the late Barbara
rritcnie, the heroine Of Whittier's celebrated
war poem. IL may not be improper to state
ihat l am the nephew of ''Dame Barbara
ana had the settling up of her husbands es-
tate IN the capacity of administrator. This
necessarily threw me into frequent communi-
caiion with that aged and venerable dame
barbara Fntchie, my venerable aunt, was
not a iady OF - summers, rs your correspon-
dent alleges, but an ancient dame of SO win
ters, when she departed this life, and it is but
truth to add that she never saw the inside of
the Federal hospital in this city. Nor did she
depart this life in September, 1868, but died
on the 18th OF December, 1862. Nor did any
OF the Federal soldiers from the hospital at
tend the old lady's remains to their last rest
ing place. This, to my certain knowledge.
was fact, no orders TO that effect having
been given. Therefore, none of these conva-
leseing Invalid soldiers were at my old aunt 5
funeral. So much for this branch of your
New York correspondent statement.
Now, word as to the waving of the Fed.
eral flag in the face of the rebels by Dame
Barbara on the occasion of Stonewall Jack
sons march through Frederick. Truth re-

his troops, did not pass Barbara Fritchie S
residence at all, but passed up what in this
eityi popularity called ''the Mill alley about
three hundred yards above her residence,
then passed due west toward Antietam, and
thus out of the city.
But another and still stronger fact with re-
gard 10 this matter may be here presented,
viz: The poem by Whittier represents our
venerable relative then 90 years Of age) as
nimbly ascending to her attic window and
waving her small Federal flag deiiantly in the
face of Stonewall Jackson's troops. Now,
what are the facts at this point? Dame Bar
bara was, at the moment of the passing OF that
distinguished General and his forces through
Frederick, bedridden and helpless, and had
lost the power of locomotion. She could, at
this period, only move as she was moved, by
the help of her attendants.
These are the true and stern facts, proving
that Whittier poem upon this subject is fic-
ton, pure fiction, and nothing else, without
even the remotest semblance or resemblance

The HORNED CArERPu LAR.-Of all the
horrid, repulsive looking things in the insect
world, this creature is the most so. We saw
one last week which young lady of this town
had preserved in alcohol. 1t was six inches
in length and as thick as q mans S thumb. 1t
is of green color, with a pale blue band on
each ring; the head and legs are orange col
ored; so are the long spines or horns, though
their tips are black and hard, but it can
neither sting nor prick, and may be handled
with safety, if one can overcome his disgust
at the ugly creature. When it has completed
its growth the caterpillar goes into the ground
and forms chrysaliS two inches or more in
length, and remains in this state until the
next season, when it comes out in June a
large and beautiful moth, known to entomol-
ogists as the ''Regal Moth, the larva being
the 'iRoyal Horned Caterpillar" The gen
eral color of this moth is orange-red, the
light spots on the fore-wings being yellow,
with bars of dark red and olive color. This
insect is not very abundant, but is occasion
ally found in all parts of the country. 1t tmay
be seen in the summer twilight fitting among
the shrubbery and flowers of the lawn or gar
den, and is sometimes mistaken for the hum
ming The caterpillar is a voracious
feeder and lives mostly on the leaves of the
walnut, hickory and other trees.
