NEW CARLISLE.

NEW CARLISLE. March 14.--Our country
cousins are taking the necessary steps
to submit the question of local option at
the April election. There is no question
but what it will carry in this township, as
our citizens of the rural district are gener-
ally temperate In all of their habits. The
crOss-road saloon is nuisance that super
cedes every other: not being subject to any
corporation ordinances they act as though
they had free license to do all the devil
ment possible. The city saloon is a daisy
when compared to those of the corner at
the cross roads. We have but one in the
township outside Of the Gem village, and
that one is at Midway, run by some enter
prising citizens of your city. But thirty
days after the second Of April it
will be compelled to go. . The political
situation is becoming interesting in county
and municipal affairs, and handshaking is
the order Of the day. There will be bit
ter contest here for the various offices of
the villages. The asseSsOrships and mem
bers of the school board appear to be the
absorbing subjects of discussion at present.

New York Money and stock Market.
NEW YORK, March t3.-Business was al.
most wholly suspended in financial circle,
to-day. The banks fully recognized the
utter impossibility of transacting, business
by the usual methods, and although matur
ing paper was protested if not paid, the no
tice of protest was in nearly all cases held
over "a hours in order to give the parties an
opportunity TO meet it. The banks them
selves, however, went all through the rou-
tine of business, and clearances were made
without delay. At the Exchange business
was nearly suspended. There was practi-
cally no business in the buying and selling
Of stocks, bonds or any kind Of securities to-
day. The opening of the stock exchange
both yesterday and to-day was merely
formality to comply with the law. The
exchange to-day opened at the usual hour,
but a resolution was unanimously adopted
that all dealings be suspended so far as pos
sible and that all deliveries go over until
tomorrow. The transactions in stock
this morning amounted to l,S75 shares, OF
which 1850 were in Erie at 234 10 23k,
100 New England at "a, 100 Wheeling and
Lake Erie at 40, and rs Western Union at
76h. There were no transactions in the
money market. Government bondi
were quoted as follows: Is coupons 'l25x
bid, AIS coupons 1868 bid; currency 6s 1t
100 bid. There were no transactions in Pa

intentions of Dionysius were good, and the
discrepancy is Of no practical Importance.
Dionysius made the 18th Of March lady
