but otherwise, to all appearance, in good
health.
Monk had strong nerves, but he could not
prevent himself from uttering wild cry of
horror and wonder At the same moment
Matt went to the young mans side, and with
an air of indescribable trust and sweetness,

The Work OF DRINK. Monday
news came to this city that "Mime"
Jones had been found dead on the road
near the Likens place in the tswn of
Harrison. So far as we are able to
learn, the facts in the case are as fol-
lows: On Sunday, the Goth OF October,
the deceased, accompanied by Pat.
Byrne, went to the railroad camp near
the old village of Lafayette and while
there both became intoxicated. They
left the camp at about or o'clock to
go home and are believed to have had
considerable liquor with them which
they continued to drink freely, and on
the road home were very neisy. Byrne
being the more sober of the two at
tempted to regulate matters and is be-
lieved to have administered pretty
sound thrashing to Jones in order to
quiet him. In passing the Likens place
the wagon is thought to have so nearly
tipped over as to throw Jones out on tn
side of the road, and Byrne, thinking
that Jones might as well sleep off his
drunk there as anywhere else, drove
home and put away his team. On Mon
day morning Byrne, missing some
straps from his harness, went back on
the road to where the accident occurred
and to his surprise found Jones dead,
lying in about the position in which he
had fallen. There were some slight
wounds upon his face but the body
showed no further marks of violence
An inquest was held on Monday by
Geo. McFall, Esq, and a jury of six
neighbors. The verdict was to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death as the result of drunken spree.
The deceased was buried on Tuesday.
He was at one time married, but his
former wife obtained divorce and re-
married some time ago.

SUICIDE AT PoTosI.-The people of
Potosi and vicinity were shocked last
Saturday by the report of some hunters
having found the dead body Of woman
in the Mississippi River about a mile
below Spechts Ferry. Some men on a
raft had seen it and called to the hunters
on the bank. After removing the body
from the water the men notified the au-
thorities at Potosi, land a coroner's jury
was soon formed. They repairedto the
spot and had decided that the body was
that of an unknown person who met her
death by drowning when Mr.. Kane, a
a ncighbor of the lady arrived on the
spot and identified the remains as those
of Mrs. Joseph Schneider of Potosi. 1t
seems that the lady had been suffering
from i'll health for some time, and that
her mind had at last given way, and in a
state of mental alteration she had gone
to the river and taken her life. The
family are people in good circumstances,
and their relations have always been
pleasant. She was forty-four years of
age and the mother of three children, all
grown: Henry Schneider, the eldest who
has been attending a college in Chicago,
and two daughters, one of whom was
at school in Prairie du Chen and the
other at home. Deceased was asister of
Mrs. Chris Cellar of Potosi. and has a
sister living in Prairie du Chen. On
the day of her death she dressed in an
old fashioned dress and bonnet that had
lain in closet for years, and told her
husband that she was going to the
house of neighbor Before going she
gave her daughter silk dress and five
dollars, saying that it was a christmas
present. This and her peculier dress
aroused the daughters suspicion, but
not so definitely as to cause her to watch
her mothers movements. On the bank
of the river was found her shawl and
and bonnet, and bottle which is sup
posed to have contained chloroform;
and it is from taking this that her death
is thought to have been caused rather
than from drowning, as the water was
very. shallow where she was found. The
husband and family have the sympathy
of the entiIe community in their sad
affliction.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHIcAso. October q. 1855.
East bound shipments of grain and
provisions from this point for the week
ending Oct. Srd, were 62,7l9 tons; last
week they were 25,179 tons; decease
since Oct. LIST. $3.50 tons. The wheat
market to-day is rather irregular. From
the high price of wheat reach ed week
ago there has been decline of 81 cents
bushel. This brings the market much
nearer shipping basis and so puts it in
healthier state. Advices from the
Northwest indicate free movement
of wheat from the farmers, and in week
or SO longer all the public storage cap
acity of st. Paul, Duluth and Mime
apolis viii be filled up. Still \ majority
OF owners and holders are firm believers
IN the future of wheat, notwithstanding
the unprecedented magnitude of exist
ing supplies.
The corn market does not vary anv
to speak of in price, and about all that
can be said of it is that the market is
dull but firm. Our receipts are fair to
good. There is but little trading in
corn as compared with wheat, and the
market attracts but little attention at
present.
Oats are fairly active and shade
higher. Rye is lower and dull. Barley
is in fair demand; the best grades firm
and the low grades easy.
The trade in the cattle market is in
clined to be weak, with large supplies
left over from last week. The outlook
for strong and active week is not as
bright as sellers would desire.
The hog market is active and prices
have advanced good cents ali
around. The supply on hand meets
with good demand.
The speep market is dull with larg
supply.

AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARs-A deed
was brought to Register Boughton's
Office few days since by JULIUS
Plondke. to be recorded. The docu-
meut, old and yellow, was executed
in 1865, and conveyed TO Amelia
Plondke, from NJ. w. Kendall, 40 acres
of land situated in the town of Wyalu-
sing. When ask why twenty years had
been consumed in getting the deed
around fer registration, Mr.. Plondks
told the following story: Soon after
the deed was given us a man came to
my house in the evening and asked for
nights lodging, which we gave him.
In the morning my wife and got up
early aud left the house TO do the chores.
When we returned the stranger had
flown. and upon closer inspection we
found that the house had been ram
sacked aud a small box which we had
brought from Germany containing this
deed and some other papers was miss
ing. That was about eighteen years
ago. Near our house stosd tree that
was hollow and used to have quite q
hole near the ground; but of late years
the hole had about healed up. "A few
DAYS ago cut him down. / look into der
hollow stump, and dar saw dat leedle
old box what | saw more than tree
thousand times before already" The
deed and papers were in the bex just as
when taken.
