!" And the drops that are falling make glad the
seeds,
That promise bloom, and waving golden wheat
When Jnne's clear sun your mist-clad hills shall
kiss
And earth's rich harvest answer to our needs
The markets during the past week
have been very nervous and active, but
the cause of this activity is entirely diff
ferent from the cause of an active mar
ket. Two weeks ago. the war news
was the leading factor, today every
thing looks peaceful, and the matter
seems in a fair way of being settled by
arbitration. 1t looks now as if war was
only pretext and not the cause of our
better markets. The season is very
backward both here and in Europe; it
Is iuliy fortnight late and the general
estimate is month late. The late
spring and very bad winter wheat re-
ports, therefore, are the main causes of
better prices. Wheat has advanced
about 30, corn about &c and oats
about &c the past week Ii the weather
should come off fine and crop reports
improve farmers may look for small
drop in prices. Quite business was
done by Lancaster hog buyers during
the past week, hogs bringing from So 90
for poor to 81. 10 for choice, and the re-
ceipts running as high as 163 hogs.
Prices declined about 10c(9l5c during
the week in Chicago. This decline was
partly caused by the continued large
receipts. Then there is depression in
cotton. Gripping the purchasing power
of the south. but with the present price
OF corn, corn being higher than hogs,
farmers may with reason expect higher
prices for their hogs from this on.

MURDER AT MOUNT OLIVE.

The particulars Of the murder com
mitted AZ Nj. Give last week, of which
we make mention in our State News
column, are about as follows: Jake Wolf,
the murdered man, was a cattle buyer,
and was at the house of Mr., jeffrey to
look at bunch of cattle owned by jeffrey
who was out driving up the horses to be
used ia searching for the cattle, when
Bone rode up with a rifle on his shoulder
and inquired for Jeffrey. Mrs. Jeffrey IN
formed him that her husband was not at
the house but would return in a short time,
whereupon he asked the lady If she IN
tended to 90 with him. Upen recelvlnga
negative answer, Bone said he would kill
her, and accordingly made ready and pre-
sented his gun. Here Wolf, who was
standing uear by, ran between the fright
ened woman and the weapon just IN tine
to receive the bullet in bis body. and hhe
fell to the ground dead. Bone deliberate
" reloaded the rife and went into the
house in quest of Mrs. J. who had fed
at seeing Wolf shot down, and secreted
herself in an unfrequented apartment,
and thus saved her life. Bone, upon
coming out of the house, saw that Wolf
was dead, exclaimed, MY Goo. What
have done ?" and Immediately mounted
his horse and rode eff through the woods
