The action of the German government
in prohibiting the importation of Amer
ica pork is causing great deal of COM
ment on the New York produce exchange.
One of the leading brokers in an inter-
view said he did not think it would have
much effect on the New York market.
The French prohibition did some dam.
age as long as it lasted, but we do not
send as much pork to Germany as to
France. He thought there was no good
grounds for the action by Germany.
Saturday was a most exciting day on
the Pittsburg oil exchange. Prices

and were, if possible, more exciting
The opening sales were made at 81 20,
followed by reaction aud drop of five
cents. Tue weakness. however, was onl,
temporary. The market rallied toward
the close, final sales being made al
$l.2O2s. The transactions were the
largest IN the history of the exchange,
and aggregated 9,l59,O0O barrels.

which had been returned because of GER
tain formalities. Her claim is $4,000 for
skillful attendance in professional cap
acity as physician. It will therefore
have to be considered as coming within

Tue board will meet D: tae treasury de.

From the Hanover Spectator and Citizen Of
Thursday &c take the following;
On Friday last Jacob Warner, who resides
in Codorus township, aboat two miles and a
half from Jefferson borough, was found sus-
pended by the neck in his barn, his knees
almost touching the floor. He was immedi-
ately cut down, but life was extinct Mr.. W.
had long been church member and held in
high esteem by those who knew him, and was
in good circumstances. At times, however,
he was subject to fits Of dependency, and q
watch had been kept upon his movements.
Eluding their vigilance on Friday, he found in
the wagon shed piece Of rope about seven
feet in length. with which the fatal act was
accomplished. The deceased leaves wife
and several children.
Mrs Elizabeth Forney. of York, is 80 years

To the People of Carroll.

We find that the purchasers of the Carroll
county Fair Grounds are willing and anxious
that our fairs shall not go down, which would
be a crying shame to our citizens, Carroll
being the fifth county in the state.
Although they have offers that would pay
them better, they are willing to put 1t at price
that even with failure, very little could be
lost, as the grounds would at any time bring
cost or near it. We hope our citizens have
pride enough and feel enough interested in the
matter to Join in raising the amount necessary
to accomplish it; the amount is so small
that we think it should be gotten up without
any trouble.
We have heard of different ways of getting
it up, the one most feasible We think is as fol-
lows:
Number of shares to be disposed of not to
exceed 800 at $40 each. Grounds. with all
the buildings, &C., as purchased from the At
torney and Agent of the Mortgage, to cost
ST. 600, which will leave in the treasury of the
Society 81, 100. TO be used as the directors may
direct. Said directors or board of managers
TO consist of President. Vice President, Sec
retarys. Treasurer and FIVE Directors, which
will be named in the act ofincorporation, whose
term will expire upon the election of officers.

Monday of January. 1888, and yearly there
after. \ provision Is To ne maue IN int DN-
Laws that will entitle the stockholders TO tick
cts of admission to the annual fairs held on
the grounds. in the following manner Two

mission; three shares to ticket of admission

and unmarried children ten shares and over
