A VERY SAD CAsE.-Wc stated last week
that Mr.. Peter Flair, of this place, who had
been suffering for q long time from d.
seascd right leg, the flesh from which has all
sloughcd off nearly to the knee, had suffered
slight stroke Of paralysis. In the opinion
of his physician this attack resulted from
the fright and excitement caused by
the fire at his residence q day or
two previous, as was also mentioned
in our last issue. During the past
week Mr.. FAIRS condition has become
further complicated and there is now scarce
ly any hope that he will ever get we'll His
left leg, the one paralyzed, is now rapidly
developing symptoms of decay, and it is
feared that it will soon be in the same condi-
ton as the right leg. Mr. Flair has also
been affected with heart disease for some
years past, and this fact has all along been
serious drawback to his physician in the
treatment of his case. DR.. Beatty called
DR.. johnson, of Frederick, in consultation
on Tuesday. Mr.. Flair is young married

THE WOOL MARKET.

The Boston Journ0l in its review of the
wool trade for the week ending March II
says:
The tone of the wool market is quiet
There is no pressure to buy and little pres
sure to sell. with Il feeling on the part of
rates. There is no scarcity of wool now,
nor is there likely to be. If the dOmeS-
tic clip falls short. manufacturers can
supply their wants from abroad, and no
machinery is likely to be stopped on ac-
count of a scarcity of fine. medium or
coarse woods. The labor troubles are
the most embarrassing feature of the
trade. The prospect some months ago
was splendid. Manufacturers were do
ing good business. and both wool deal
er> and manufacturers looked forward
with considerable confidence. Now the
feeling is unsettled. The demand for in
creased pay and reduced hours. if carried
out. will increase the cost of production.
and new contracts. unless with some
condition covering the changes that may
occur. place the manufacturing business
in n very uncertain position. Buyers who
were disposed to purchase wool freely
are now holding back. and we look for Il
quiet movement for some weeks to come.
The new clips of Texas and California
are also near at hand. and from present
appearances extreme prices will be
asked. This will probably prevent
active movements in the new clip when
the market opens. 1t appears to US that
dealers. manufacturers and spectators
are not in Il mood to purchase new wool
while the business is in such an unsettled
condition. Already number of mills
have suspended operations on account OF
strikes. and the troubles are increasing
every day. The market has been very
quiet for combing and delaine tleeceS,
and no sales of any consequence have
been made The sales include 100
mounds No. | at 81 lie and 5000
on private terms. The sales of unwash-
ed heeces for the week have been
4O4, 400 pounds of all kinds. The market
continues quiet. Stocks OF desirable
kinds are quite reduced, but the tone OF
the market is easy. The sales of Terri
tory wool have been 10000 pounds, and
include 1872. 600 pounds at 10 to % cents
and 2900 pounds Colorado at % cents per
pound. In Oregon wool the sales have
been $1,000 pounds at Il price we did not
learn. In umwashed and unmerchantable
tlceces the sales have been 22l,3Oo pounds
for the week. and include 10000 pounds
at 20 to % cents. 1900 pounds at y cents
$4,000 pounds fine at 2l cents, ana 10
600 pounds at Is to 81 cents. and liS,OOU
