REMOVAL OF AN EYE.-Last Satu

REMOVAL OF AN EYE.-Last Satur-
day DR.. W. F. Fundenberg, the we'll
known oculist and aurist of this city,
assisted by Drs. E. Fl. Parsons and
Geo. B. Fundenberg, operated upon
Miss Laura Michaels, Of Morgan
county, W. Va, for the removal Of
her left eye. When quite young Miss
M. was 90 unfortunate as to lose the
sight Of her eye from some lye being
thrown into it. Recently the sight Of
the other one began to get dim, which
necessitated the removal of the injur-
ed one to save the sound one. The
operation was entirely successful, the
patient returning home to-day. In a
few weeks an artificial eye can be in
serted. In connection with the above,
we might say that DR.. F. has per-
formed large number of similar op-
erations lately and has been always
perfectly successful. - Cumberland

B1rUMINous CoAL.-The bitumin-
GUS trade has been without change
during the week, though it steadily
captures new markets in quiet way.
There has been break on the Chesa-
peske and Ohio canal that is inter-
fering with the shipment of Cumber-
land coal. The probable break of
the Anthracite Combination will be
serious blow to the bituminous in
terests, for it would be followed by a
heavy decline in prices of hard COAL

The several varieties of bituminous
Goals keep up their wonted condition
of steadiness. The Clear6eld for last
week is good, and shows signs of i'm
provement. The Cumberland dealers
are more cheerful. No doubt it would
be very desirable, to them, if anthra-
cite was moved up one or two notches
IN the scale of prices. The fact that
all the soft coal districts have held
their own, tells the most important
story. While the anthracite folks are
trying to mark up prices, bituminous
is keeping it's old volume of trade, at
low prices, and occasionally entering
wedge into new fields of competi-

A Splendid Cotton Gr0p-Repert 0f the
UMrenM NK Agriculture.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE October. returns
to the Department OF Agriculture indicate the tn
average condition Of the cotton crop at 80, the
same as in September.
State average-North Carolina "a, @ decline Of
q; South Carolina a. an increase Of 4: Georgia
s5. an increase of 4: Florida 81. m Increase of
7; Alabama 81, a deerease of / Mississippi So,
a decrease of 3; Louisiana SO. unchanged:
Texas 1o3. an increase Of 2; Arkansas 90. O. de-
cline Of 8; Tennessee 1o2. an increase Of IL.
Compared with October, 1877. the growing
crop shows nm improvement Of eleven per cent
The October condition fully equals that OF the
splendid crop of 1870 and excels any interyen-
ing year. Insect Injuries are unimportant. The
eastern section of the cotton belt was visited by
storms, moving through narrow sections and
doing much local damage. In the Mississippi
Valley yellow fever quarantine regulations
have restricted the making Of the crop. Texas
reports very fine crop. some counties report
ing prospective averages as high as @ bale per
acre. Arkansas has fallen. through drouth In
some sections and in excessive rains In others,
With the increased acreage planted the crop
now promises a turnout Of upwards Of five
million bales.
