coated with any metal compound, from tho
extra duty of one-half cent per pound laid
upon all other galvanized or coated articles of

and taggers tin.
In the discussion on the amendment, Mr.
Beck stated that in the territories of the
northwest the cattle kings" had got laws
enacted which were very oppressive to actual
settlers, requiring them, no matter how poor, to
inclose their farms with costly wire and lum-
Der fences, and even forbidding them, under
penalty of fine and imprisonment, from driving
out otherwise than gently" cattle that may
be devOurng their crops. Mr.. Beck thought
that these laws ought to be repealed by con-
gress,
Pending the vote on this question, Mr..
Sherman offered an amendment (Which was
ordered TO be printed proposing to substitute

iron, &C., the following:
Iron In pigs, iron in kettledge, spiegelesen and

wrought scrap iron or scrap steel, IS per ton But

Railroad AGIairs.-The Philadel-
phia North american of last week has the
following in its financial article:
"Holders Of Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road Company general mortgages, Of
which there are So, $50, 900 outstanding at
6 per cent, are jubilant over the discov-
cry that traffic contract has recently been
made with the Pennsylvania so favorable
to their interests that while the latter cor
poration does not exactly guarantee the
bonds mentioned, 1t consents to provisions
which are said to virtually effect the same
results. 1t Is claimed that the bOnds are
rendered 'gil,-edged' by the Pennsylvs-
MAS agreeing TO give the Shenandoah
Valley all the business i: can control for
points which can Dc reached by the latter
road, with fair limitations as to business
destined for points East or West which
can much more easily be reached more
directly from the Pennsylvania system by
some other route, such - Kentucky bust
ness, for instance, which Of course the
Pennsylvania Tan more readily reach by
Pittsburg. The Shenandoah Valley makes
similar promise 10 send business TO the
Pennsylvania. IL is understood that the
completion of the Washington and West
ern in the Shenandoah Valley interest Is
recognized by the Pennsylvania rs allow
able, although it will take away some
business given TO the Cumberland Valley
at Hagerstown. This the Pennsylvania
probably hopes to catch again by means
OF the Baltimore and Potomac at Alexan-
dria. The Pennsylvania is said further to
have agreed TO lay by 70 per cent. OF the
gross receipts of its system from business
furnished by the Shenandoah Valley till
October /, 1885; Is per cent. for five years
succeeding that date, and 10 per cent. for
the five years following the latter period,
for the purchase OF the principal Of the
Shenandoah Valleys general mortgage At
the rate Of 5000, 00c n year. OF course the
interest will have to be paid before these
redemptiOns can be carried our, and In
case the Shenandoah Valleys net EARN
ings are not sufficient for this purpose,
this will be done from the fund intended
for redreuing the principal. A consider
able term of years must elapse before fore
closure can be made under this arrange
ment, and it 10 said that this term Of years
is long enough TO make it extremely I'M
likely, even in the event OF severe COM
mercial depression, that the Shenandoah
Valleys net earnings should fall short Of
its fixed charges long enough to make
foreclosure even remotely possible under
the agreement"

owes much of its present prosperity and
success.
Mr.. Fulk was beloved by all who knew
him. He WAS Of a genial, happy DISPOSE
ton that attracted all who came In con-
tact with him, and ws know Of no one
who had more friends than he. Always

Harvest.-The wheat or op for this
year is now cut, aud few days Of pleas
ant weather will see It safely gathered
into barns or ricks. Most Of our farmers
finished cutting last week. From all the
Information we could gather We are led
to the conclusion that the yield is above
the average, although not equal to that
of last year. The hay crop was an unusu-
ally heavy one, the weather has been ex-
eeedingly favorable for oats, and We are
told that the corn crop Is coming up
grandly, and promises to make up fully
for all lost time in the spring. The out
look Is good, and the farmers, with rare
exceptions, have been well rewarded for
their toll aud patiss.cs.
