GenernI Trade.

Though not so brisk as ruled last
week and for some time previous, a
fair volume of business prevails in all
lines Of traffic, and jobbers, while not
over worked, yetannouuce themselves
we'll satisfied with their patronage.
The leading feature Of yesterday and
to-day was a notable scarcity of hay,
for which the demand is active and
only two or three dealers with any on
hand. Prices are Soc to 81 90 per ton
higher, and a fiat boat load now IN
der way below Cairo is expected to
meet a ready market at full prices.
Complaints continue in relation to the
injury sustained by rain or snow at
points of shipment, and scarcely .
consignment arrives not more or less
damaged. A brisk movement is re-
ported in table varieties of potatoes.
and prices are we'll sustained though
an uncertain feeling prevails, with
but little confidence in future values.
A demand has sprung up for millet
and prices took a smart upward turn
yesterday. Reports from Nashville
that prices are strong at $l,75
per bushel, with an active
request in other markets caused lively
inquiry here, and sales between deal
ers were at $l4O per bushel, with
$3.50 to l so as the asking fgurein the
evening. Free sales of oats are report
ed at easier prices and have been
offered to arrive at rates faYoring buy
ers. Corn and cornmeal are quiet.
Flour is in slower movement with
values steady and stocks liberal.
Sugar is unsettled and tending higher,
with Louisiana fast disappearing from
the market. Meats rule quiet, with a
steady jobbing demand, and lard is
scarce and stiff. Cabbage is in active
demand, with arrivals from Louisiana
very trashy, dealers complaining that
heads are nearly all leaves. The
quality is unusually poor this season,
and the defect is attributed to the late
overflow and unfavorable weather on
the gulf coast. Chickens have been
in active demand Tor some days, and
several hundred dozen sold yesterday
at 81 per dozen. A few hundred
nicely dressed chickens came in, the
first for some time, and went off at "a
per dozen. A more liberal supply

The Western Flood.

A YANKTON, Dakota, letter gives
n us these details of the late disastrous
freshet there:
In contemplating the ferocious tracks
left by the flood it seems miraculous that
hundreds of helpless people did not per-
ish. For so great disaster, in the
material sense, the mortality has been
comparatively trihing. 1t is estimated
that the whole number of drowned
persons will not exceed dozen, or at
the very utmost a score. The number
of marrow escapes" recounted is aston
ishing. 1t would appear that the people
in general took matters very coolly.
There was no panic, and presence of
mind, aided by individual heroism, &C
complished the work of rescue. Had
the settlers stampeded in wild terror
when the flood first broke around their
homes, many more would have perished.
AS it was, some were cut out through
the tops of houses, Others betook them
selves to trees, where they roasted
through one terrible night of March,
and few were hardy enough to dare
cross the treacherous ice. gorge and gain
safety on the higher banks of the river.
Most of the detailed information relative
to the great freshet has long ago reached
the Times by telegraph, but from Man
dau and McCook, a distance of several
hundred miles by river, at least $500
people have suffered more or less from
the effect of the freshet. OF these, half
have managed to save something for
new start, while the remaining half
have been, in most cases, left without
houses, bedding, food, clothing, teams,
plows and even soil. Their wheat has
been utterly ruined. They have no
seed.
called upon Secretary Hand, acting
governor of the territory, to day, and
asked his opinion in regard to the situa-
ton. He said:
1t is bad, very bad, indeed, but we
are consoled by the providentially small
loss of life, when hundreds, if not thou
sands, might have perished. Fully
fifteen hundred people will have to be
supported all this summer, fear, be-
cause they have saved nothing but their
lives The season is growing late, and
they cannot raise crop unless they
have immediate relief in the way of
money!
What will they most need to make
new beginning with 20 asked.
Well, material to put up some kind
of a house to shelter them, the govern
ment has sent some tents already-an
ox-team and plow, a milk COW, and a
few other things indispensable to a
family on farm. / think the sooner

duced by the incipient stage Of decom-
position.
"But, Mr.. Mortal" he continued,
you must keep watch of this corpse.
DO not close the tomb door. Visit every
hour until decomposition has actually
begun"
We ought not to bury this body"
remarked. placing my hand under the
arm pits, where the heat could be very
distinctly felt
Better not say anything 1t would
create an excitement"
And 80 the consultation ended. The
funeral took place and the corpse was
placed In the tomb. That night Spade
and watched IL. The lid of the coffin
had been removed and / had provided
myself with articles necessary in case
there should be any further signs of life.
] cannot tell how 1t was, but somehow
it was impressed upon me that General
Sidney was not dead. Perhaps it was
because had recently been reading of a
similar case in England where suspend
ed animation had been restored after the
lapse Of a week.
There was nothing to indicate re-
suscitation during the night, and in the
morning 1 went home to breakfast leav-
ing Spade in charge OF the tomb. | had
scarcely tasted my first cup of coffee
when Spade rushed breathlessly into the
house, assuring me that "the General"
as he expressed it, "was opening one of
his eyes" did not stop to ask why he
did not open the other, but seizing some
clothing had prepared for the occasion,
/ bade Spade go for the doctor, and ran
with all my might for the tomb.
Both eyes were open. poured some
wine into his mouth, and commenced
rubbing him with energy. When the
doctor and Spade came, he had moved
his hands and begun to breathe with
difficulty. By the DOCTORS advice he
was borne, coffin and all, to my house,
and in the course of the forenoon he
was able to sit up. We worked over
him ineessantly till noon, when he in
sisted upon being conveyed to his own
house, which we reached just as the
"wil party" left; held the General up
while he listened to the conversation of
his amiable nephews. The rest the
reader knows.
General Sidney lived only fortnight
after his wonderful resusctation; but
long enough to make a new will, in
which both of his nephews were disin-
herited, and his fortune given to various
benevolent associations.
