THE M A R K E T s
CHEESE.

Nxw YoRK, June 13, 1879.
The market opened this week at "a
and 7A cents and steadily declined to
the close. Receipts have only been
moderate. much under those Of the same
time last year, but the demand is so
limited that the slightest increase in the
supply affects prices. We are still suf-
fering the results of last years surplus,
whilst they have gone from here. Old
cheese are still plenty in the English
markets, and until they are consumed,
we may expect . poor trade. Present
prices are simply ruinous, but we feel
thst they cannot last and that sooner or
later the trade will again be In good
condition. The production Of cheese is
certainly much curtailed, and once we
get started right, there viii be better
business. Fancy cheese close at 6 and
2 cts. Fine. 81 and cts. Fair to
good, and cts. There will be but
little II any, stock carried over.
Butter. Prices are still lower than
at our last. II cts. is the outside for
creamery, and much has been sold at
16 cts. Dairy, II and ID cts. for fine

Union School Exhibition


viii be held this year in the new
Congregational Church, and its large
seating capacity, will we hope, accom-
modate all who may wish to attend.
Doors will open at 6: 30 P. NJ, and ex-
ercises begin promptly at z: 30 P. NJ.
Muslc will be furnished by orchestra Of
the Cleveland Grey's Band. Admission
will be free, but to accommodate the
wishes of some who desire reserved
seats, and alec to aid the graduating
class in paying the expenses for music,
etc., . few seats will be sold and the
proceeds devoted to that purpose. No
one will be expected to take them un-
less they prefer it, and the larger pro-
portion OF the seats will be left entirely
free, giving much greater opportunity
for the public to be comfortably seated
without charge than any other place
In town. We look for . fine entertain
ment as In former years, aud one which
will be creditabie to the reputation our
schools have alre ady established.

Athlete Sports at our Fair.

1t strikes US that the athletic part OF
our forthcoming fair Is rather over
done. Everyone is familiar with the
fact that many persons have been In
jured in such contests. Few persons
would object to . clean, straight com
petition In such athletic sports and
tests Of strength and activity as are
more calculated to excite mirth and
develop muscle than to injure the con-
testants and demoralize community. To
zee two or more powerful men close In
. "catch - catch can" conflict, before
an eager compay, each urged on by his
friends and goaded by the cheers from
the crowd; each with trained muscle
and nerve, desperately contending with
his adversary until one or both have to
yield from sheer exhaustion, (or be car
ried on the field It may be) is not to us
q pleasant right.
We hardly think boys Of the tender
age Of Is or 1e years suitable persons to
encourage to engage In a public CON-
test like the one proposed In the ath-
letic programme. Lads Of the ages re-
ferred to are perhaps more easily injured
that ut almost any other. Tho muscles
are soft and In most cases the boy IL In
the midst Of his most rapid growth, and
a. devoid Of judgment-as he is unfit for
violent or long continued exertion. No
man who understands the danger Of
injuring young. horses will allow
one that he may have to be put to Its
utmost exertion until IL has arrived at
maturity. There are other reasons why
We think 1t not wise to introduce such
an extended list of athletic sports at our
fair. But rs these are the ones which
we think sufficient and very apparent,
we commend them to the careful and
candid Judgment Of our citizens and Of
tho committee.

Balloon Excursion.

Al We were about starting on our
homeward trip, the emperor insisted that
We visit their Joss House, for the pur.
pose of engaging with them in prayer to
the great Buddah, for our safe return.
We came very near losing everything by
q remark made by Brindsmade, to the
effect that he for one would not join in
prayer to an unknown god. for he was
afraid of being influenced. to join the
heathen. We told him under the cir
cumstances he had better remain at the
outside gate. As that was the place We
would always expect to find him. The
emperor enquired who We called heath

Hefrick, who was now acting - spokes-
