Killed by Her Brother.

A most distressing affair occurred in
the northeastern portion of the county
recently, which resulted in the death of
an estimable young lady, the daughter
of Mr.. Thomas Patrick, of the Launs-
dale neighborhood. It seems that fire.
quent depredations upon Mr.. Patrick's
poultry yard had been made of late, and
that his son, a young man of about 20
years of age. had been watching for the
thieves and on the night referred to
the young lady went out to the coop to
get chicken to prepare for breakfast,
and the boy, hearing the cries of the
chicken and not dreaming that his sis
ter or any member of the family was in
the yard, rushed out, and picking up
brickbat hurled it in the direction of
the noise, and with such unfortunate
precision as to strike his sister in the
head, inficting wound that resulted
in her death after few hours of suffer
ing.-A6erdeen Miss Times.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
t New York +" Public's" Review.


The Clearing House returns from
twenty-one leading cities of the United
States, for the month ending March 80,
as compared with the corresponding
month last year, show loss of 8 ITO
per cent. The cities that have lost are !:
New York, IL ITO; Boston, $40; Phil
adelphia, IA $40; Chicago, IL ITO;
Cincinnati, Is $40; Baltimore, 6; st.
Louis, 16 40; Pittsburgh. $40;
Providence, 2-10; Cleveland, IA 8. 10;
Kansas City, A 5-10; Columbus, Is;
Syracuse, IA $40. The cities that have
gained are New Orleans, IL 40; San
Francisco, 81 Ito; Milwaukee, Is 40;
Louisville, 40; indianapolis, 3 ITO;
Springfield, 8; Worcester, %; Lowell,
$40. The four cities of the largest
trade show losses, though at Boston the
loss is insignificant. OF five cities of
the second class, New Orleans shows a
real increase in business, and San Fran
apparent only. The three others lose,
but Baltimore less than the decline in
prices during the year. At the head of
seven cities of the third class Milwau-
kee gains much more than it lost, in
consequence of the slender wheat move
ment last year, and Louisville reports a
slight gain, while Indianapolis gives
evidence of substantial growth. At
Kansas City the failure of banks has
caused part of the difference, but real
losses remain there and at Pittsburgh
and Providence. OF seven cities re-
porting less than $4,000, 900 each,
Springfield, Worcester and Lowell show
that the condition of manufactures in
Massachusetts, has improved, and the
imperfect comparison for New Haven is
not discouraging. Whatever improve
ment appears may be traced to wheat,
cotton, some branches of manufacture,
and success in mining the precious met
ais. A large share of the export trade
has gone to Boston and Baltimore, and
a larger portion of interior trade to
Louisville. But as whole the bust
ness of the country has been less active
and less prosperous than it was even in
the dismal first quarter of 1877.

Manitoba Weather.

They have genuine cold weather in
Manitoba, where the thermometer marks
80 degrees below zero for days together,
and frequently drops to 80. A CORE
spondent says that what is called a
poudre day is exceedingly dangerous for
the traveler-not because the tempera
ture is then lowest, but because the air
is filled with fine snow, so that sight is
entirely obscured at distance of few
feet. A wind Sits the snow over the
paths, obliterating all guiding marks,
and the chilled traveller is lost. The al
most unconquerable desire to rest is not
the least important part of the danger.
The coolest days are still $50 magically
still that all the usual sounds of nature
seem to be suspended when the ice
cracks miles away with a report like a
cannon when the breaking of twig
reaches one like the falling of tree !;
when ones own footsteps, clad in soft
moccasins, come back from the yielding
snow like the crunching of an iron heel
through gravel; when every artificial
sound is exaggerated hundred fold,
and nature seems to start at every break
In the intense silence. The atmosphere
is as clear as crystal, and the range of
vision seems to be unlimited" On such
days a nose freezes with wonderful
quickness, and it is reckless to expose
that organ for many minutes.

Canadian Statesmen at Fisticuffs.

In the Canadian House of Commons,
while Mr.. Bunster, member for British
Columbia, was speaking, Mr.. Cheval,
French Canadian member, began play
ing iewsharp, and initiating the cry of
cat in distress. The British Column
bian became enraged, and dared the
owner of the musical instrument to meet
him outside. They met shortly after
ward in one of the corridors, when the
hirsute British Columbian struck Cheval
savage blow on the side of the
head. The plucky little Frenchman
seized his burly assailant by the beard
with his left hand and vigorously struck
out with his right. The noise attracted
the members, who rusehd out and sepa-
rated the pugilists, the Frenchman car
rying off as his trophy huge bunch of
Bunster's hair. Bunster is the member
who brought in the resolution that no
one whose hair was over five and half
inches long should be employed on the
Canada Pacific railway.-CttaWa Can

Family Estates in This Country.

Several years ago Edward Everett, in
a public address, remarked that wealth
in this country could not descend to the
third generation. 1t is singular that the
most prominent example of the falsity
of this theory should be found in the
families with which Mr.. Everett was con-
nected by marriage, the Adamses and the
Brookses. The will of the late Sidney
Brooks is an illustration. Notwithstand.
ing the laws of entail and primogeniture
are not in vogue in the United States,
the tendency of wealth is growing
stronger and stronger toward building
up and extending family estates in di-
rect line. The next generation of the
Adams family, if it inherits the accumu-
lative propensities of the past and pres
ent generations, will be one of the
wealthiest in the country, and will prove
that wealth accumulated by the founder
of family can be held through as many
generations as in England. Boston

This event, though not unexpected

with whom she met. The bereaved
fomily have the herrtfelt sympathy of
all in this hour of their sore bereave-

The citizens Of KenOsha will be pain

Wilson, and before she was twenty she
was married to a young merchant of

there he transferred his business to
