SATURDAY, July &c 4. ~
The bull party, though only a week Old, Is lusty
as though 1t had stall for months, and day
exhibited its powers by further advancing all the
active stocks. AS matter OF course Lake Shore
forced into chief prom lnence and marked up to
6lk, ex dividend, q figure which once the
highest and closing price the day. So far nearly
Ave has been added to its market value
the bulls commenced operations and II has
at the expense Of frightening the shorts OF their
positions and considerably reducing their bank bal

1t remains 70 be seen whether the movement Will
bs continued on bull basis, pur ct simple,
or whother there Is any real intention of
suppanting Mr.. Vanderbilt in ths control
Of the road. as Is hinted at in some quarters Un-
doubtediy many holders, who we're inf nuenced into
buying tie stock under the representations OF the
Vanderbilt people feel very at seeing
eipatlons Of reasonable dividend fade away under
Inc eeggariy declaration OF one per cent and would
Tor want oi better settlement, growngly tako out
In revenge what they failed to obtain money. To
upsct the Vanderbilt CONTROL then. is nabiy
The desire OF parties, who confess themselves
10 be "stucK;" but whether It lays in the power Of
Mr. Sage and the whole bull forcs OF horse foot
dragons 10 achieve this difficult feat Is moro than
doubtful Another week will probably develop
whether the movement Lako Shore Is simply bull
twirl or whether Is conceived with the deep design
Of securing the object in question. The result to-
days advance In Lake Shore to improve the rest
oi the list materially aud to settle public opinion still
more firmly in favor Of higher prices. In fact the

A Moving Event.

Speaking OF queer things In the his.
tory Of house.rsnting. certainly the
quserest which has ever come 10 my no.
tics occurred to . friend OF mine, the
merit Of Its strangsness being It's literal
truth. A little more than q year ago he
rented q house to o party who was q
stranger, but who. paying his first
months rent In advance. and having
every appearance Of being o respectable
man. was counted by the agent as q good
tenant. The irst OF the second month,
when my friend went to collect his rent.
imagine his surprise at not finding any
house upon the lot. Some time during
the month the house had been moved
away. and 10 this day he has been un-
able TO hnd q sign or trace OF IL. I have
often heard OF tenants leaving o house
without paying their rent. but this Is
the frst case I ever knew or heard OF
where the tenant not only got away with
his rent, but with the house also. They
do these things differently In Chicago,
you know.-Cor. Troy Times.

particulars In regard to the island Of
Juan Fernandez. the scene Of De Foes

written by the Captains vile on board
an American whaisr which called ut tho
island for q supply Of wood and fresh
provisions. The writer says: Find

We found q nice landing place. With q

and there is an ample supply Of fresh
water. Wild goats are abundant, and
many are consumed by the natives for
food, the skins being handed over to the
proprietor. There are also n great num-
Der Of fine ish In the surrounding wa

about 5000 feet. The scenery 10 varied
