An Active Grain Movement

| n. Y. Herald JAMS.
The shipments OF -four and grain from
the port OF New York last Saturday are
said to be in excess of any previous days
shipments for some years past. Some
vessels sailed loaded with grain and -four
besides the quantity carried by Others as
/ part of their cargoes. The demand for
export is active, and if the present COM
plications in Europe continue 1t is net
Likely to decline. Fortunately the boun-
tiful harvests OF last year have left US In
a good condition to supply our European
customers with the necessaries OF lie, and
should the war continue for SIX years we
shall take care that the people on the
other side of the Atlantic are not lett TO
stsrve. 1t will be observed in cor nectlon
with this liberal expectation that our
receipts for -four and grain for December
are largely 1 excess for those OF the cor
responding month OF last year. The
canal closed after the first week IN d.
cember, but the transportation by rail-
road has since been greatly increased.
The New York Centrsps monthly return,
issued on Saturday, shows that the
amount OF grain delivered IN this city by
that route last month was 2,7I,OoO
bushels-s gain OF l,55l, 600 bushels over
December, 1876. The deliveries OF flour
during the month by the Central and
Erie routes amounted to $4,000 barrels;
a gain of POI, 900 barrels over the same
month last year. There is an unusual
supply OF grain and -four on storage IN
the West, consequent on the bad condl'
tioa of the country roads during the
autumn, which prevented deliveries st
Chicago, Milwaukee and other distrlbut-
ing points in time for lake and canal
navigation. The nctive shipping demand
will, however, keep the movement by
railroad active during the winter ana
will materially benefit the business IN
terc3ts of the city. A table of the ex-
ports OF wheat aud corn from this port TO
European ports from September to De-
cenber Is, 1877, shows an increase OF
8 10000 bushels of grain and o64, OoO
bushels OF corn over the same period OF last
year Yet the great movement OF western
corn Las yet to come, the wet weather
having DELAYED the shelling much De-
yold the usual time.

VIVA, Nigh, Have Been Heard.

a knot OF physicians might have been
seen gathered around the elegant glass
case, standing in the Main building, In
which Benson's Capcine Psrous Plaster
was exhibited, discussing It's merits and
superiority over other porous plasters, and
the listner might have heard words OF
warm praise iall from their lips as they
spoke of the revolution II would likely
effect in rem edies for diseases treated ex.
ternally, such as rheumatism, lame and
weak back. spinal and kidney disease,
sciatica, lumbago. sprains, bruises and all
aches pains and of local nature. With these
opinions the Centennial jurors who were
also learned physicians, were in perfect

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1878-03-02

On Thursday afternoon, Feb. %,
died, Mrs. Mary B. Bailey, widow
of the late Major Charles Bailey, at
the residence of her son, DIR. c. w.
Bailey. This estimable lady was
nearly the oldest resident left in
GAINESVILLE, having died at the adj
vanced age of four score years and
two. For very long period of her
long life she was member of the
Presbyterian church in which COM
muniOn she was cherished as a
shining light for her Christian
virtues and active benevOlence. OF
late years her infirmities confined
the manifestation of her relig ious
principles to the resignation and
fOrtitude with which she submitted
to the sufferings and disabilities OF
age, throughout which period her
declining years were sOothed by the
tender ministrations of an affection
ate family. Disease was no proper
name for the cause of her death, it
was simply the failure of those vital
powers which had run their course
and were no longer able to sustain
the functions of life. The appoint
ment for the funeral has not yet
been made, as the family are await
ing instructions on the subject from
the Hon. Jas. f. Bailey, L. S. Sen
atOr, son of the deceased.
