"FrighteMimg Invalids.'

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of a cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, we have mass of evil
dcnce to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
fever. &c.. have been permanently cured by

Resolutions Of Respect to the

Whereas Professor Edward p. Weston has
suddenly departed this life while pursuing the
high and noble calling to which he has devot-
ed, and in the end sacrificed his life,
Therefore, Resolved. That the Board of d.
rectors feel that language cannot express
their emotions of sorrow and sadness at the
sudden death Of the honored President of

Resolved. That we recognize in DIR. Wes-
toms demise not alone great loss to our In
stitution and community. but his death is a
public calamity, and the cause of higher edu-
cation for women must suffer thereby an IT.
reparable loss.
Resolved. That we unite with the people
of Highland Park in that deep and sorrowfu
mourning which has stricken the hearts of all
our citizens, and words can but feebly express
our appreciation of DR.. Weston's social quail
tiles as citizen while in him were combined
with noble christian character o conscien
tious, high minded, thorough, scholarly devo.
ton to his calling which encouraged and ele
waited all who came in contact with him.
Resolved. That in common with this Who'll,
community, this Board extends to the mem
bers Of his esteemed and worthy family al
well as to his associate teachers and the young
ladies of his Institution their most heartfelt
sympathy in their great and unexpected be
reayement.

Business Activities.

Since the first week in September the
price of mess pork has risen from IS 80 to
$40 20. a gain of 16 per cent; the price of
refined petroleum has risen from 3-s
cents to 1874 cents, gain of 81 per cent I;
and the price of No. ? red Winter wheat
has risen from 81 10 to 81 81, an increase
of 81 per cent. The great advance in the
price of cotton occurred earlier, and since
the middle of September. when middling
uplands sold for y 3-S cents, there has
been a decline of cents, followed with
in the past two weeks by another advance
of 1-2 cent per pound. In iron, and in
some other articles, the recent advance in
prices has been even greater than in either
of the products above mentioned, The
eagerness of buyers 10 secure supplies.
and to anticipate some part OF the advance
in price. has been supplemented by enor.
nous speculative purchases. until it is
doubtful whether the present prices Of
many important articles can be main
tanned.
In wheat, for example, the quantities sold
in this market for two months past have
been from three to five times the quantity
received here. Last week, 9, 500. 900 bush
els were received, and S.06S, 900 bushels
were sold; during the previous week,
$4,000 bushels were received, and
a L,,c hole sold and Jrrinn
the week ending September II. only
$4,000 bushels were received, and
9,459, 900 bushels were sold In fact, the
sales in this one market have been larger
within the past seven weeks than the entire
receipts at all the Atlantic seaports. by
about 20, 900, 900 bushels This shows how
great has been the activity of traffic. and
the speculative purchases have evidently
been much greater than all the purchases
Of actual wheat in the line of movement to
consumers. In all these transactions,
however, little currency is used, while the
checks given and received rapidly swell
the exchanges of the banks. Bank credits
are drawn upon sharply in the buying and
selling of three or four times the quantity
of products that is really moved through
this market. The wheat market had a
sharp reaction at the close of last week,
and it is probable that dealers in other
products will also be reminded that they
cannot expect prices to rise continually or
without limit
Behind the great speculative activity,
which is apt to be checked by naturaldaws
there is also an enormous development in
the volume of healthful business. Crowd
ed streets and ferries, busy factories and
mills, and railroads fairly blocked with
excess of freight offered. all bear wit
ness that the revival Of business is real
and general. That part of the improve
ment is substantial and lasting. More
men and women find paying employment,
and the people employed are able to con-
sumo more freely of the products of the
labor of others, than at any previous time
in the history of the country. In single
year of prosperity on a specie basis the
country will have recovered all that it
lost during five weary years of disaster
and prostration.-NeW York Tribune.
