A VERY severe rain, wind and hail
storm visited a locality q few miles
north of LincolR, on the morning Of
the 9Th ult. The heaviest part OF the
storm reached the State farm, where
the corn was somewhat damaged. In
the course Of the storm groves were
bent down and snapped off like pipe
stems, and went flying over the
prairie like feathers. In some cases
the corn was blown out Of the ground
by the roots, and wheat and oats in
the shock were scattered about broad
cast. The hail stones that fell were
as large IA hickory nuts.

How Prices Are Fixed.

There is discussion among some
Iowa papers whether or not Liverpool
fixes the price Of American grain. Ger
tainly Liverpool fixes the price. of what
American grain it buys. So does Glas-
gov. There may be no relation at all
between the price of wheat in Chicago
pool. Then, again. the market may be
such that there will be a great intimacy
between the price of wheat in the Amer
ican and English market. Liverpool
fixes the price of American wheat in
this general sense that the price of COM
modities between all countries that have
an interchangeable trade tend to an
equilibrium. And, as Liverpool is the
great market exchange of Christendom,
the equilibrium in prices finds its usual
mercantile expression there. But the
price is made not by Liverpool, but by
the whole area of supply and demand.
If Liverpool miscalculates and fixes q
wrong price for itself, New York and
Chicago would not be governed by it,
but would fix what would seem to them
q right price. That will control price
as to all that go to New York or Chicago
market And it may be above or below
the Liverpool price. But it is true that
sooner or later, although New York and
Chicago may fix the price of grain aboxe
or below the Liverpool price, the price
in all three places will gravitate to
uniformity. Not, we repeat, because
Liverpool makes the price for New York
and Chicago. but because it indicates
that equilibrium. between supply and
demand which fixes price in Liverpool,
New York, Chicago and everywhere

Saddle Horses and Saddle Cats.

There is an increasing demand of late
for good saddle horses. The gaits that
especially command horse for use in
the saddle are the walk, the fox trot, the
single foot and the rack. The walk is a
gait understood byeverybody, but every
body does not understand that good
saddle horse ought to be able to go a
square walk az the rate of five miles an
hour. The fox trot is faster than the
square walk and the horse will usually
take few steps at this gait when chang
ing from o fast walk to . trot. The
single-foot differs somewhat from the fox
trot and has been described as exactly
intermediate between the true trot and
the true walk. Each foot appears to
move Independently Of the other, with
sort of pit-a-pat, one-at-a-time motion,
and it is much faster gait than the fox
trot. The rack is very nearly allied to
the true pacing gait, the difference being
that in the latter the hind foot keeps ex-
act time with the fore foot of the same
side, making it what has been called
literal or one-side-at-a-time motion,
while in the former,the hind foot touches
the ground slightly in advance of the fore
foot on the same side. The rack Ii not
so fast gait as the true pace, but IS
desirable gait in a saddle horse.-Na-
tional Lire Stock Journal.

A Director Of the Mechanics
Bank, Of Newark, Arrested
For Aiding and Abetting Cashier
Baldwin.

NEWARK, N. j., March 3.-Stephen
II. Condict, one of the directors of
the Mechanics National Bank, was
arrested this afternoon on a
charge of aiding and abbetting
Cashier Baldwin in misapplying
funds of the bank, and making false
entries on the books. He will give
bail before q. S. Commissioner Pats
terson, in the sum of $4,000 to
morrow morning. The affidavits on
which Condict was arrested are vo-
luminous, and charge that the books
of the bank showed loans to
Messrs. Fisk and Hatch, amounting
about 100000, that the directors
suspected that all was not right, but
that Condict assured them that
it was all right. and that they were
loans made by President Holsey,
Cashier Baldwin and himself, with
out the formal action of the board,
and when in fact no such loans were
made at all, and all entries were made
to cover up unjust distractions.
The affidavits also show that Condict
was fully informed of the discrepan-
cies in the unjust account, and had
the figures and details given him by
the clerks in the bank in October
and November, 1880.

South Carolina Republicans.

COLUMBIA, s. c., March 3.-The
Republican conference adjourned at
a late hour last night 7. E. Miller
(coloredl, senator from Beaufort

Failures of the Week.

New YORK, March 3.-Messrs. R.
G. Dun & Co.'S. Mercantile Agency
report the business failures of the
week throughout the country, as 1877
against 12S last week. The Eastern
States furnished II; Western, 45;
Southern, 80; Middle, 20; Pacific
Coast and Territories, 6, and New
York City, Z; total, 1877. In the
city of New York the most important
failure is that of Casade, Brooks &
Reynolds, who have liabilities of sev
eral hundred thousand dollars, most
ly abroad. This disaster is said to
have been caused remotely by the
collapse of the Union Generate of
Paris and the contraction of the con-
tinental banking facilities resulting
therefrom.

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, March 3.-McLeans's an
tecedents show that he is eccentric
and is addicted to drink.
Before the beginning of business
on the stock exchange, this morn
ing, all the members in the room
sang, "God Save the Queen"
1t appears that Mclean recently
endeavored to force his way through
the Eaton College scholars who were
at the station to secure good posi-
ton to await the passage of the
Queen, and consequently the bust
ling prevented his having an oppor-
tunity to fire when he might
have done so with worse
result. There are various accounts
as to whether his arm was struck
while firing, or after he had fired.
The police evidence at the examina
ton, which the prisoner tried to
shake by cross examination, went to
prove that he fired straight at the
carriage and not at the wheels as he
alleged.
The Pope has telegraphed his re-,
gret at the attempt upon the Queen S
life, and congratulations upon her
escape.
Bradlaugh arrived at the
House of Commons to-day,
and took his seat below. the
bar. In the House of Commons this
evening there was a considerable
scene, in consequence of Johnson,
Attorney General for Ireland, vir-
tually admitting that warrant
under the coercion act existed against
Arthur O'Conner, a Home Rule
member of the House for the Queen S
County, O'Conner moved an adj
journment. He inquired with what
offense he was charged.
L. NJ. Healy, member for Buford
Borough, who believed similar
warrant existed against himself, sec
onded OConner's motion.
Phillip Callan, Liberal member
for the South, endeavored to exact
a pledge from the government not
to cause the arrest of members visit
ing their constituents.
Gladstone refused to grant such
immunity or to give any further
information.
OConner finally withdrew his mo-
ton, saying he knew that the war
rant contained an utterly unfounded
charge of reasonable practices. He
detied the government to try him in
England.
