CROPS AND MARKETS.

London. April 3O.-The Mark Lane Ex
press says the general tenor of agricultural
reports is distinctly satisfactory as regards
the wheat and spring corn crops. and it is
very seldom that advices from the rural dis.
tricts as to weather, work and crops record
SO few complaints as at present. Supplies
Of English wheat have been light and prices
have undergone little or no change either
in London or the provinces and quiet but
steady tone prevailed. With political
affairs unsettled holders Of foreign wheat
have been content to satisfy the retail de-
'mand. The requirements Of the continent
are for the present supplied. This import
ant element of strength being wanting,
holders only had the ordinary consumption
wants of the country to fall back upon,
which do not appear to be large although
there has been sufficient business to pre-
vent prices receding to any quotab.e ex-
tent. Millers, generally speaking, hold fair
stocks. America has furnished the bulk
of imports of wheat into London, which.
however, has been quite moderate, with
fair arrivals at the ports. The call of float
ing cargo trade for wheat has ruled firm
Prices advanced fully shilling apparently
owing to the continued political uneasincss,

ACCIDENT TO AN Ex.,vDeE OF DAKOTA

Times, was the first United States district
attorney for Dakota, and afterwards Judge
of the third judicial district of this terri.
tory:
Baltimore, April 21.-Ex- Judge VIM. E.
Gleeson, of the Baltimore bar, formerly a
Judge IN Dakota, and student in his office,
named Frand Theophil, the judges adopted
son, returned to their residence about 0
o'clock last night, aud soon after retired.
Not appearing at breakfast this morning,
their door was forced about II o'clock, when
it was found that both had been asphyxiat.
ed with gas, which strongly impregnated
the atmosphere. The spiggot was found
turned on, and the gas was rushing into
the room. Theophil was found lying on
the bed, q corpse, and Judge Gleeson on
the floor, In an unconscious state. He was
living this evening, but will probably die.
The affair is regarded as very mysterious.
It is thought the gas had been left burning,
and was probably extinguished by a draft
of air from the window.

Secretary Sherman, in a recent interview
on the Florida confessions, expressed himself
very strongly on the subject ofthe presiden-
tial::election in the south. About Louisiana
he said he knew. He saw matters there with
his own eyes, and they were enough to make
the blood boil. In Florida there had doubt
less been trickery upon the democratic side,
but in Louisiana there had been downright
repression and bloodshed aud tyranny. He
had no doubt but that there had been de-
liberate plan, we'll matured and thoroughly
carried out, to bulldoze the cotton states for
Tilden. Ia Mississippi the negroes were
kept from the polls BY terrorism. In Ala
bama it was the same, and elsewhere; and
ifeither Louisiana, South Carolina, or Flor
ida had been carried by the democrats, he
believed it would have been crying nation
crime and outrage. He for one believed
that in all the cotton states there had really
been clear, large, and undoubted republi.

HOLLYWOOD Cemetery.

Editors Dispatch Perhaps it is not gen.
orally known that Hollywood Cemetery,
where rests the remains OF thousands OF
brave soldiers as we'll as thousands OF our
citizens, is entirely at the mercy Of rowing
cows, goats, dogs, chickens, &c. For some
time past the fence around portion OF the
grounds has been down, and it appears as II
there is no prospect OF lis being put up
again; in consequence, animals OF all kinds
enter the grounds and devour the beautiful
shrubbery, plants, and even the flowers that
are placed upon the graves, and trample
down the mounds. Now, this is mortify-
ing and distressing to those who have loved
ones buried there.
The writer visits Hollywood very often,
and has witnessed what he has just de-
scribed. No longer than few days ago he
was there, and upon going to his section
was grieved to find that plants, shrubbery,
and flowers. upon which much labor and
time had been bestowed, had all been eaten
up and trampled down by goats. This is
indeed a sad state OF affairs. Is there no
way to remedy this great evil? Cannot
something be done to protect this sacred
place from devastation? Shall this beautl-
| full cemetery be stripped OF all that tends
to beautify It? This thing has been
going on not only for days and weeks, bu'
! for months, and nothing has been done tc
preventit.
1t Is hoped that those in authority, ano
whose duty it is to keep the enclosures II
order, will see the necessity and Importance
of at once rendering the grounds inaccessi
BILE to rowing animals, chickens, geese, &c

STRIPED STOCKINGS Gottschalk
yesterday sustained the motion to set aside
the nonsuit in the case of Waite against
Crawford. The suit is for damages to the
child of the plaintiff, caused by wearing a
pair ,ta striped stockings purchased Of the
defendant. On the trial there was evidence
tending to show that the stockings were
poisonous by reason OF thedye used to give
them brilliant coaors, and thet the newspa-
pers had published reports eef the death Of
children occasiened by wearing similar
stockings. The plea that the defendant was
ignoYagt OF the dangerous eauality OF the
stockings was met by the proof that he took
the ;Aie6e- Democrat, and aEeht to haye
known everything; and tthe further fact
that, when he heaEd that there was death in
the stockings, he sent all he isd to an anc-
iion-house, and sGld no moae OF them at
his store. 1t was not shown on the trial
that the. defendant azas not the manufactu-.
rer Of the striped stockings, aud under the
instructioss OF the Court the Plaintiff took
aaonsuit. The JUDGE now says,there were
faeks introduced at the trial thatssiould have
been submitted to the jury, and he there
fore sets aside the ilonsaitand grants new

RICHMOND, December &c

RICHMOND, December 80, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: In order to obyiate a
difficulty which has hitherto been found to
Inconvenience New-Year's callers, / would
here throw out suggestion or two, which
may prove OF service for the future. In the
first place, let those who propose to receive
visitors that day have a servant Id imme-
diate attendance at the door, that callers
may not be subjected to any unnecessary
delay. In the next place, Iwould advise that
every one who does not intend receiving
should Indicate that intention by hanging
out basket. 1t may appear trivial to some
to lay such stress upon matters apparently
mmaterial; but where eighty or ninety
visits have to be compressed into the space
OF few hours, as is the case in some in
stances, every moment is OF the utmost con
sequence. Yours respectfully, Fl.
