Henry Cowgirl, agent at Woodsde Sta.
ton, received a serious injury on Thursday
last. In closing the warehouse door, the
staple drew out, causing him to trip his foot
over the gang-plank, which threw him with
considerable force, head foremost, a dis
tance of eight or ten feet off the high plat
form into the middle of the track. He
was carried to his house, apparently life
less, and remained senseless during five
hours. He has received no fracture or
other serious internal injuries

very old, one bearing the inscription

Our PENINSULA AND THE WEsT.-We are
told of the rich prairies, fertile bottoms.
expansive fields and immense crops of the
far West but in the light of facts what does
it all amount to? What signifies it if man
is so prosperous one year that he can build
himself fine house the next, if the fol-
lowing year it is picked up by a cyclone
and with his family is dashed to pieces.
Year after year we read where one of these
monsters makes swath through whole
counties and States as a "besom of des.
truction:" nothing can stand before them.
Think of a wind that in town of 200
houses, as was the case in Marshfield, Mo-,
last week, only left 20 standing, and killed
nearly 100 outright and left badly wounded
200 or 800 more out of population of 800
souls. Nor was this place alone, for a
number of others Jared nearly as badly.
The velocity of the wind was of such a
force, we are teld as to carry child q
distance of three miles and land it in the
crutch of tree thirty feet from the ground,
and it is stated that wagon was picked up
and carried about the same distance.
1t is said the wind was Of such force that
it blew the clothes from off the people and
| the bark from trees. Such occurrences in
this latitude, and to US between the Della
ware and Chesapeake Bays especially, is
simply incredible. We have had no expert
snces to compare it with, beyond the pros
tration of an old outbuilding, few shade
trees or the occasional lifting of roof. Such
thing as the demolition of our homes anc
destruction of our families never enters oul
heads. Such destruction as has attended
these cyclones is tenfold worse than the hur
ricanes of the Indies or the volcanoes o
South America. If our lands are not 81
fertile, our farms not so expansive and tia
means of acquiring competency mucl
slower, between making it speedily ant
having it swept away in a moment, ant
our easy go-long way of making living
we certainly prefer tho chances betwse
our two bays.

IHE BEsFTMENTs OF THE FARM.-Whils no
business is so assuring of enough to eat as
the farmers life, none other is so subject to
the accidents Of life beyond his control, as
that OF the tiller Of the soil. Chief among
these are what are called the "Provi.
dences"-too much wet weather, excessive
droughts, blighting frosts, depredations of
insects, &c, none of which can he control,
though he may see the prospects of year
swept away in day. Then again in the
channel of trade it is said that he is left
the pittance that the "middleman" does
not want. Still further there is that vora.

life out of what prev. .-4 -lir prespects
and profitable returns While it has.been
thus with the farmer during the depres
sion OF the past five years, his lot, by those
following the channels of manufacture and
merchandise was considered enviable. They
had their "black" days, but when the
change came, it was with a tremendous
"beom." Mills that had been standing
idle for years were soon in full blast, men
who had been tramping about the country
with every avenue of employment closed
TO them were called back to the forge. the
factory and the busy mart, and the msr
chants were pressed with orders on con
unually advancing prices. The prices o.
grain did also advance, but it was mainl,
after 1t had left the farmers barns and wal
housed by the spectators in their immens,
elevators. 1t cannnot be denied that tn,
returns for crops were greatly in advanc,
OF the preceding year, and the stimulsss o
the new impulse had otherwise an indirsc

ing interest But it must be admitted tina
the possibilities are most always, barin

KALLoCH KILLS DEYoUNG.-The vendetta has been
transpanted. The murderous quarrel between the
De YOungs, of san Francisco, and the Rev. Mr. Kali
lOch, now Mayor of that city, which startled the
country last Summer has been renewed in shocking
way and with shocking result. Then twas Charles
De Young who shot down Mr.. KalloCh for making
vile charges in public against the character of mis-
mother. Mr.. KallOch lived to do good deal of mis-
chief in the demOralzed city and De Young escaped
the penalty of his crime. Now it is Charles De Young
who is shot down in his Office and by Kalochs son-
is shot dead. Deplorable as such crime would be
under any circumstances, il is doubly so when IL is
considered that il may inhame partisan hRtreds in
San Francisco, already hot enough, to dangerous
point II is true that there is less danger than there
was few months ago FiOt would have been prob
able. But with tho authorities more firm in their CON
troll and with Kearney in jail II is TO be hoped there
may be power enough In the law 10 punish this
youthful assassin as he would be punished in any

with regard to the shooting of Charles De Young of

Mayor of the CITY, They all state that Mr. De Young
was standing in the business Office, Just before s
o'clock Friday night, talking with friends when
Kalloch entered and fired without saying word.
De Young ran around by tho cashiers desk KalOch
meanwhile keeping the firing. and drew his revol-
yer but before he copd take aim KaOch leaned over
the counter and fired the fatal shot, In all five shots
were fired. Thpn Kaoch ran out, but was arrested
at the door and taken to prison. These particulars

THE BUSINESS OCTLOOK.-Therc is one thing that
interests every man and every pary-the business
outlook. The New York Tribune of Monday thus dis
cusses the business situation.
Breadstuffs seem to have touched bottom last week
After q continuous decline in prices lasting for
than two months, the lowest point this was
reached on Tuesday last and there has since been n
considerable recovery Wheat had fallen about %
last. for No. red winter but recovered to Sl3l TO
Sl32On Saturday Corn had fallen 10 cents per bushel
from G24 in January, but closed Saturday at 81 to
552 cents. Similar changes appeared in prices of
other grains, and there is still wide difference of
opinion as to the future of the market many heavy
operators believing that the rally last week only
temporary and that prices will fall much lower
while others hold that the statistical position makes
rapid advance in prices certain. The reports from
foreign markets do not to warrant the conclusion
that the demand has been supplied so far that the
estimate surplus of wheat in this country will be
all required before the crop year ends and il is per
haps significant that the recovery of prices last week
was accompanied and in part caused by strong pur-
chases for export At least for the present point
seems to have been reached at which the foreign
buyers are willing TO take surplus grain. There
are some symptoms however of u disposition among
the English buyers to resist by concert of action the
combination of American holders, and the marked
success which the waiting policy has attained thus
far may prompt resort to II still further The one
thing certain is that the price of wheat it could
never have been pushed above Sl50 this year. in the
lace OF the enormous yield and the increase of acre
age Nown for the next crop except by the expectation
of great scarcity abroad and Unprecedented foreign
| demand cannot now be maintained at the present
| figures unless that scarcity and demand result in
| large purchases and exports.
The movement of grain during the week ending
April 10 was enormous because the clearing of great
| number of vessels which have been awaiting open
navigation occurred in that week, but the shipments
during the week ending April II much smaller,
amounting to less than 600 900 bushels of wheat and
| 100000 bushels of corn. Whatever may be the
future changes in prices of breadstufs il does not
seem probable that the lowest figures of the season
| have yet been reached for iron cotton and many
other products, in which the decline still continues
