Correspondents olthe Intelligence.
Our rolling mill will resume work on
Monday, at the increased rates asked BY
the strikers.
The dust in the streets aud in the roads
near town is thicker, deeper and more
annoying than was ever known before. It
covers everything as a cloak it fills eyes,
ears, nose, and even mouth, unless II is
kept tightly closed, and this all for the
wantof shower Of rain. But Just now 1t
looks as II we would have that shower be-
fore night. 1t will be most acceptable to
all parties when It comes.
The festival held by the ladies' of the NJ,
Z. E.eewlngSociety was success financially,
something over 80 was netted. The ladies
deserve great credit for this, as we'll as ali
they do Tor the new church building. But
lew attended the last night, but those few
seemed 70 have money, for according to
the crowd more money was realized than
on the hrst night. The ladies feel under
lasting obligations to Jacob Kemple, ESQ.,,
ior bis valuable services In acting as auc-
tioneer in disposing Of the last remains OF
the festival. The cakes went off like Wild
fire, and It was all owing TO the auctioneer.
May he live long to do many more such
good deeds.
Mr.. G. S. McFadden granted the ladies
the free use OF his Rne store room, In

Foster aud Gibson at GAINESVILLE on
Saturday Afternoon,

BARSEsvILLE, O., October 4.-The Fos-
ter and Gibson meeting here to-day was
the largest held in the western part of
this county since the war. 1t was the first
day meeting We have had this campaign,
and our, people had made great prepara-
tions for 1t. The decorations were the
finest ever seen here, and ELECTED much
praise. There were three bands and q
procession more than q mile in length.
The meeting was held in the fine private
grounds Of Kelion Hoger, Esq. and was
attended by fully FIVE thousand people.
Governor Foster spoke one hour, and, al.
though very hoarse, his speech was
strong aud'Sell received, and one Of his
best points was to set our people right on
the Supervisors Law. General Ewing,
when here, stated that the Supervisors had
power to make any man show his ticket,to
make arrests and in fact to exercise all
the power conferred to Deputy Marshals.
This, Governor Foster corrected by quot.
ing the law on the subject. That wonder
ful man, Gibson, spoke nearly two hours,
and literally carried away the audience
by this oratory. At the close OF his speech,
ronsing cheers were given for Foster,
Gibson, the ladies and the ticket. This
meeting has done much to rouse our peo-
pie, and will have splendid effect.

Rise OF Three Cents on wheat at MIL.

Rise OF Three Cents on Wheat nj MIL.
WRukee-N0Tember Closing Firm nc
Sill.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, October 4. - The
wheat market to-day experienced the
most decided advance yet made this sea-
son, the rise being fully three cents over
yesterdays quotations. The advance was
legitimate, made chiefly upon foreign re-
ports by cable Of improvement in the
English markets.
Atthe morning and noon Boards prices
ruled firm and steady. November wheat
opened at 81 09, fell TO 81 0Sl, but gradu-
ally improved until the close, 81 II being
the last quotation and the highest price
yet realized this year. The market closed
hrm and strong, and there Is every indi.
cation OF prices rapidly advancing from
now on. The first sales Of January wheat
were made to-day, the price being ST. l2.
The feeling is decidedly bullish, and the
advance is considered permanent There
is every probability OF the price OF cash
wheat going up TO 81 25. The stock on
hand has reached one million bushels,
and the dali ly receipts are very large. The
feeling is that a sudden advance may be
expected.

milleIs and brokers' will hold for big
advance. Great excitement prevails in
-four circles, and il wheat should de.
preciate the millers would be left in the
lurch to the tune Of thousands. II wheat
continues to advance no flour will be
placed on the market Monday, and prob.
ably none during the week.
