CucAoo April o5@The cattle mar.
ket during the past week has been active
and irregular. At the start supplies were
enormous and statesmen discouraged For
some unknown reason everybody appeared
to have concluded it was a good time to
push forward their cattle to the Chicago
market. and they all came in together.
Such runs are seldom seen at the yards,
and trade was naturally sluggish. at weak
and declining prices. the average reduc-
| ton on shipping beeves being I5c. The
demand was really good. but BUYERS saw
they had all the advantage. hence shin
pers were inclined to hold off for stHl
lower figures and 30 were dressed beef
operators rs dispatches from other
markets through the country reported
heavy r~eceipts and big declines. Still.
good cattle sold fairly. and on the whole
the market ruled better than might have
been expected under such depres.
sing surroundings. Purchasers. however.
we're very fastidious. only bidding on lots
which exactly suited them, and coarse. fat
and thin lots were hard to dispose Of. 1t
was noticed. too. that bids were lower on
good heavy cattle than on handy light
stock.
Cows and mixed cattle were only slight.
n m

ing lots was not large. A good demand
existed and BUYERS appeared to be willing
to take all the better stock at fully steady
prices Of course o stuff being abund-
ant. sold low. but generally there was
but little change.
Stockers and feeders ruled quiet, but
prices held up we'll Low grade light
stuff being abundant, was weak, but for
all GOOD to choice kinds holders asked
strong prices. Not a few of the offerings
were bought by local spectators.
As the week advanced. there was a sud-
den and complete change in the tone of
trade. A rapid decline in receipts of
more than one-half was something not
looked for, and as a :%natural result ok
IRENE weakness gave place to b~uoyancy.
Sellers usually demanded an advance, and
while the unwillingness of buyers to pay
it made trade slow. prices were certainly
stronger and in many cases. on exactly
suitable stock, 5alOc higher. Dressed
beef operators made a good many pur-
chases. but there was not much compe-
tition for fat, heavy cattle. and none sold
high. Few choice beeves were here, fair
to good lots comprising the bulk of the
receipts. Tidy. fat little" cattle were the
sort most in demand.
Butchers stock came in freely, but the
inquiry was brisk. and the market main
tanned the firm tone lately characterizing
it. Indeed, it was no trouble to sell
handy. fat ~butchering stock at stronger
rates, and the off grades were usually
about all taken.
Stockers and feeders also received in
creased attention. The supply Of fair to
good stock was moderate, and the attend
ance of buyers fairly good. Hence rates
were stronger on well bred cattle, but the
market for inferior northern stuff was
barely steady.

SHREWSBURY, Pa, July 10th, 1885.
Messrs. Editors AS the camp ap-
proaches persons are busy about the groves fixing
up and getting things in shape. A large number
of families are at Summit Grove camp already,
and every week increases the number until the
general move to the grounds, which takes place a
day or two before camp. By the July changes in
deaths and sickness in families, number of choice
tents are for rent and can be had on application
to Thos. Leib, secretary, Calvert Station, Balti-
more, Md. Mr.. Roller, who is to manage the
boarding tent, will move upon the ground next
week and in few days thereafter be in trim for
work.
A number of prominent deaths have occurred
lately. Mr.. William Sykes, of New Market, Nd,
Mr.. John Davis, of Shawsville, Md, and Mr.
Samuel Small, Sr., Of York, Pa. The latter is
great loss to York. He was great benefactor to
the poor and needy. He was the founder of sew
eral important institutions and endowed them in
such manner as to protect them for all time to
come. The good Mr.. Small has accomplished in
his lifetime will live and grow after he has gone.
The harvest is about closing up with US. The
dry weather has seriously effected the tobacco and
vegetable crop,
The locusts have gone to be absent for seven
teen years. AS result of their having been here
the trees and bushes in many places look as if
they were burned from heat. Some trees were
badly cut by them.
The Stewartstown railroad is pushing the work
of track laying along as rapidly possible. By
the first of September the road will be finished and
in working order. Freight is carried to points
along the road in loads to places where switches
are put down. The road will do a good freight
business when finished. The outgoing freight
will not be so heavy until full crop around.
The crop this year will be Short hence the surplus
for sale will also be short of former years.
The borough of Stewartstown is improving very
rapidly in view of the advantages of the railroad
in erecting buildings and repairing others
when finished
Shrewsbury has improved more this year
than it has for number of years. believe this
has been the case everywhere, at least where I
have been. This is good sign of better times
House carpenters cannot be had at any price
around here They are all busy and engaged for
a long time ahead. K.

forgotten that the city authorities were wholly re-

the city Fire Commissioners acted in this matter

forth in favor of city extension, let US hear them.

@>The whole blame for the lynching of Cooper
in Towsontown, on Monday morning last, should
be placed upon the laws delay. He had been
fairly tried, convicted of terrible crime and was
awaiting the execution of the death sentence,
which would have been carried out on the 3lst of
the present month. No one showed disposition
to modest him and all were satisfied to have him ex
ecuted by due course of law. But the counsel for
the condemned man, not content with having
made good fght for him in the city Criminal
Court, and afterwards carrying the case to the
Court of Appeals, where the rulings were against
their client, they went still further and proposed
taking it to the Supreme Court of the United
States to have the question settled whether or not
the grand jury which had indicted Cooper was
properly constituted it being alleged that colored
men had been excluded from that jury. Had they
succeeded in their last mentioned effort the result
would have been many months delay in the exc
cution of Cooper and perhaps would have involved
the necessity of q new indictment and new trial,
and would have again subjected the unfortunate
victim of Cooper to 60 through the humiliation
and pain of again appearing in courtroom to
testify dGdtucbtucU Aueos Inv PcoPAS "@S -SN~~
the doomed man-many of whom are doubtless
the friends and neighbors of Mr.. Gray-determin-
ed that his daughter should not again be com
PEELED to pass through this ordeal and they de-
cided to put the fellow out Of the way. And who
can blame them for this determination? We re-
greet that there has been violation of the law,
and that Towsontown was the scene of that VIOLA
ton, but if people will take the matter home to
themselves and weigh it as these men doubtless
did, we think they will place the blame of the
whole affair upon the law, which appears to be
used for the protection, instead of the punishment
of criminals Cooper confessed that he was gull
ty. Where then the necessity of all this nonsense
merely to establish precedent or principle of
law? The people like justice, which, we regret to
say, cannot always be obtained in our courts. In
this instance, however, the courts were all right,
but the counsel for Cooper, in throwing obstacles
in the way of carrying out just sentence, only
incsnsed the people against their client and led to
his execution by lynch law. We hope the lesson
taught in this case win not be allowed to pass un
needed.
