A CARGO OF GRAssH0PPERs.-Wh the
matches of the ship G. G. Chapman of this port,
which has just arrived at New York from Cal
cutta, we're lifted, hundreds Of frisky grass
hopers sprung from their warm berths among
the jute butts, where they slowed themselves
when they had boarded the vessel in India four
months before. These tropical insects resemble
the grasshoppers common here in movement
only. They have many long feelers and are of
light brown color. Capt. Pote has also two
other and more interesting fugitives 10 pal,
of Indian ring doves, which alighted on the
ship in an exhausted condition, when she was
400 miles out. The captain says that 40 days
during his voyage be did not see sail. This Is
an unusual occurrence even in sailing around
the Cape of Good Hope.

That portion Of the report which gives the
details OF lake and river navigation reveals
some curious facts. 1t appears that a larger
amount of tonnage is owned by the inland city
of st. Louis than by San Francisco the official
figures being 100000. Among other cities
prominent in the river trade Pittsburgh is cred
tied with 107 900, an amount nearly equivalent
to the foreign and coast tonnage of Baltimore.
Among the lake cities Buffalo, as might have
been expected stands first, with quota of
161 900 tons; next comes, not Chicago, nor
Milwaukee, nor Detroit, but another New
York port-Oswego, with tonnage of 10000.
Chicago is credited in the official table with
only 81 900, or the precise amount assigned to
Belfast, Maine. The tonnage of Milwaukee is
67 600; that of Detroit $4,000, both ranking
below Cuyahoga, Ohio, which has "a, 1000. And
finally, we may mention that the shipping
owned in the district of Huron, Michigan,
represents larger amount of tonnage than
that ascribed to New Orleans. We may note,
also, the broad fact that the shipping owned on
our Northern lakes now aggregates not less
than ESQ, 900 tons, while that on our Western
rivers is set down at 422, 900. To measure, at
glance, the vast Importance of our lake and
river navigation, we may point out that Its
joint tonnage would exceed that of all the
vessels belonging to the Atlantic and Gulf
Stat and engaged in foreign or coastiDg trade,
should we exclude from the latter category the
single State of Maine and the cities of New
York and Philadelphia.

| Although last evening was the regular prayer
meeting night for the various churches 10 the
city, the meeting conducted by Mr. Needham
at the First Baptist church, was fully attended
and full of interest. These meetings have
been fortunate in securing az excellent choir,
and each evening before the commencement of
regular services, it has shown itself to good ad
vantage.
Hymn No. 81, "Lo, the day Of God is break
ing" opened the meeting. Rev. Mr.. Anderson
offered prayer. The Hymn No. Is was sung,
after which Mr. Needham made announce
ments for today as follows: Bible reading at
p. M, subject, "The Redemption; noon meet
ing at No. 100 Commercial street, at 12a o'clock
latter today they will be held at 11.3O a. M y
preaching at 7.30 p. m; also prayer meeting in
the vestry at the same hour.
Mr.. Needham then offered prayer, and Mr..
Cato afterward sang fine solo, "The Cross"
The subject of the evenings remarks was
taken from Zachariab, 13-"There shall be
fountain opened for sin and uncloanpess. while
preaching in Belfast, ireland, upon one of its
wharves, became very thirsty and greatly de-
sired water. aud on stating my desire to
friend, he said, eve are near fountain; L will
take you too it," 1 shall ever remember the
pleasure 1 received in shaking my thirst at that
fountain Just such pleasure may tbs sinner
receive if he will but accept of the offer of
Christ TO come to Him, the fountain of living
water and drink.
Fountains serve two-fold purpose-1st, to
quench our thirst; ID, to remove uncleauness
The fountain spoken of ia the text refers to
moral needs. The sinner needs to drink from
its waters that he may live, and he also needs
to plunge beneath its waters that the stains
and upcleanness of sin may be removed. If
we were able ourselves to obliterate all traces
of sin, there would have been no need of OPEN
ing, this fountain. But God knows we are not,
and by the sufferings and death Of His son
Jesus. it has baen opened for all. Its waters
are efficacious to remove all SIM even the vilest
sinner may wash in it and be clean.
Hymn SIT is well with my sonl,' was then
sung, followed by solo from Mr.. Cato, and
the meeting closed with prayer

Though. They'd Caugh, a Dexter Robber.


Last Saturday evening young man arrived
in the town of New Sharon by one of the stage
routes. The news of the Dexter robbery had
| preceded him and when he owe up to the no
tel it was well filed with people discussing that
| affair. His only baggage was small valise
and he went directly to his room, first ordering
his supper sent up to him. This proceeding
| Immediately aroused the suspicious of the
crowd about the Office and he had hardly had
time to get up stairs before it began to be whis
pered that perhaps he knew something about
the Dexter robbery. This theory accounted for
what was considered his strange conduct, and
it soon became accepted as settled fact that
the New Sharon hotel contained the wretch
who murdered the treasurer Of the Dexter
bank. The report soon got to the sheriff and
he swallowed it Immediately. He whispered
the startling Information to justice of the
psace and warrant was Immediately issued.
The next thing was to find posse Of suffi-
Gent nerve to accomplish the capture. The
corner grocery was visited and the loafers that
generally congregate there hailed into the SER
vice Of the State. After providing themselves
with guns and swords and clubs they marched
to the hotel and proceeded to ascend the stairs
to the room that was supposed to hold the rob-
Der. Before they reached thu door some one
of the crowd suggested that the inmate might be
armed, suggestion which brought the process
sion to dead halt. A consultation was held
in whispers, and as there was no whiskey in
town it was finally decided necessary to put
themselves under a courageous leader. Accord
ingly stage diver, distinguished for his reck-
less and daredevil spirit, was sought, and he
promised to head the crowd into thu jaws of
death or mouth Of he'll if mead be. He imme-
diately placed himself at their head, and with
strengthened nerves, they marched again up the
stairs. Lest the robber might shoot it was de-
cded to surprise him if possible Accordingly
the door was smashed in a twinkling, and be-
fore the inmate, who was asleep, could collect
his scattered senses he was dragged out of his
bed, the warrant read to him, and lynching
threatened by the crowd, which had now be-
come exceedingly valiant AS soon as he could
get an opportunity he explained that be was on
his way to the Normal School at Pennington,
and that his strange behavior resulted from the
fact that he had bad headache. The troops
were withdrawn.
