Pop, clash There goes the lamp-chimney.
 No need of your breaking them. Talk with your dealer about it. If every trouble were equally easy to stop, there'd be some fun in living! "Pearl-top" gS chimneys do not break, ex - cept by vio- lence. If one breaks in use the dealer is paid by the maker to give you a new one.
 The maker is Macbeth & Co.,, Pittsburgh. If you want to know more, they'll send you a primer about tough glass for lamp-chimneys.

W. M. ABBOTT, West Springfield consta- ble, most valuable officer, was fatally shot last Saturday by John Daly, worthless drunken fellow, whom he had gone to arrest. Daly aimed the gun at a second officer after shooting Abbott. There should be no delay beyond the necessary form of law in inf1icting the fullest penalty of the law upon Daly. If there is any virtue in law it should protect its own agents by the certainty of rigorous pun ishment to those who put in peril the pro- tectors of the public. An officer should not be expected to fight duel or a pugilistic bat tie with an outlaw, but the law should say to the man who resists 8 sworn constable that by that act he puts himself in rebellion against government and is entitled to no consideration as compared with the fullest en- forcement of law, and the justice called upon

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
State of Trade Unusually PerpIexing and
General Complaint of Dizziness.

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: The state of
trade is unusually perplexing, for. with general
complaint of dulIness there are evidences
that the volume of transactions is large. The
payments through banks last week were % per
cent. larger than for the corresponding week
last year at New York and 16 per cent larger
at all other cities. Railroad earnings also
show that traffic is large. The demand for
money is sufficiently active at nearly all in
terror points, moreover, 10 indicate that
large business is in progress. Yet it is unde-
niable that the prevailing temper is one of dis
appointment at the result Of business since the
new year began, and this is not wholly explained
by the steadily declining prices OF products.
At southern points, after some depression,
trade appears TO be improving. In the North
west trade is fully equal to that of last year,
and at some points clearly larger. The supply
of money seems to be everywhere ample for
legitimate demand. There are no indications
of general unsOundness or over-straining of
commercial credits.
In the great iron industry, consumption for
all other than railroad purposes appears to be
larger than ever; but there is serious disturb
ance. In consequence, the IrOa Age reports q
general weakening which there is no use in
blinking at, j" and holds that furnaces which
cannot face without serious loss decline of
fully II from present prices may wisely sus-
pend production. At western points southern
iron is offered at prices equivalent to So At
Birmingham, which is considered equal to Sl7
for Pennsylvania iron; and larger sales are re-
ported at prices below published quotations
4 decline in the price of coke is considered
probable and the anthracite coal market con-
tinues weak.
The decline in wheat continues. the prics
having fallen 25sc. for the week. As the
prices reached this week $3.50 to eS5Ec
there has been some buying for export, though
not as vet for Great Britain. Corn has fallen
a cent and oats are lower. Pork products
have also declined, mess about SOC per bbl
lard 20c and hogs 1Oc per 100 lbs. Cotton is q
shade lower with sales of 42l, 900 bales and
coffee &c higher with sales of 233 600 bags.
There is little activity in groceries but the
sugar market favors holders. The general
average of prices has fallen off per cent for
the week.
The supply of money here increases both By
remittances from the interior and by excess of
treasury disbursements over receipts, which
reached 81 10000 for the week. The exports
of merchandise from New York show a gain OF
IL per cent. for three weeks. The stock market
is, nevertheless, Sc firmly sustained that the
average decline in prices has been only 90 cents
per 500 for the week.
The business failures number $40, against
total of 3S7 last week and ISL the week previ-
Gus. For the corresponding week OF last year
the figures were 2o9.
