bridges on Clear Greek road.

over, but did not kill it. As be
neared the wounded game to kill
1t with a stick, the porcupine,
bleeding in dozen places, drag
ged its body to the edge of the
tlume, where it turned for mo.
meot deiiantly upon its persuer.
Just then a stick of timber hoa;ed
past. aud piucky little animal
sprang upon it, and in lew sec.
onds the timber drifted into q
stronger current, shot out Of sight
under the bridge, and then went
down the sharp tall in the hume
at a rate which must have aston
ished the little fugitive. The trip
to the bottom Of the incline was
safely made, and out Of sight with
the porcnpine still Singing to it.
People who Iivein the vicinity say
that timber frequently comes down
the fume with squirrels upon it,
and one day stick was seen ma.

LONDON, Oct 24.-There has been good
progress in sowing; the condition remain
ing very favorable. A proportion of the
potato crop in Scotland is discovered un-
sound, which will make a necessary in
creased consumption of bread.
Provincial exchanges at the close of the
week showed rather less depression than
on Mark Lane last Friday when the best
samples of wheat were only saleable at a
reduction from Mondays rate. The sup
ply continues liberal for country -four.
All feeding stuff is dull and generally
cheaper. Foreign breadstuffs are depres-
sed since Monday; there was very feeble
demand. Factors were compelled to sub
NIT to concessions up to one shilling in
order to effect sales. Liverpool and most
of the coast markets were cheaper for for
eign wheats. Il is noteworthy that this
late depression in trade occurred simulta-
neously with the substantial incrsase in
the floating supply. The arrivals were
43,O72 quarters, all red wheat, except
1 .0t5 quarters from Calcutta.
There was very moderate supply OF
foreign flour in London during the week,
namely Is, ,356 sacks, which two thirds was
from the United States and the remainder
from Canada and the continent. Values
/ in London are generally maintained.
American barrel -four is quite out of mar
| ket.
Maize is decidedly cheaper. Mixed
American was freely offered in London,
Friday, at 90 shillings. showing decline
of one shilling since Monday.
Oats dul and unchanged Arrivals
small
Barley and peas are cheaper.
| Thirteen wheat cargoes are reported te
have arrived up to Friday, of which eight
were sold. Fifty four shillings were paid
Thursday for red winter

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-Ex-Se Senator Pom
stated that Morgan had declined the secre-
taryship, but one of the presidents secreta-
ries said that no positive declination had
been received to his knowledge. The
president was assured that Morgan would
accept before he appointed him. Mrs. Nor
gan urged her husband not to accept on
score of health.
The president notified the cabinet and
others that he was too busy to see them
to-day. The nomination of attorney gen,
eral is withheld because it is said Howe
may be offered the treasury if Morgan de
clines.
The president told senator to-day he
would not ask the senate to sit longer than
Thursday evening.
At / 80 the President said Morgan ha6
not accepted and he believed that was
equivalent to declination. 1t Is believed
new names will be suggested for the treas

down. Ever since he has been uncon

moment. The parties are the father and
brother of George W. Weir, new in Jail fol

mas The affair was occasioned by the
refusal of the old gentleman to sign pa
per giving his only daughter to the guar

He admitted his guilt to responsible par
ties. Great indignation is expressed by
our citizens that he was allowed to escape
When George was informed of the occur

and indignation against his btother.
