spots. Larger part of the trade has perhaps
done a smaller business than usual. but large
transactions on the part of a few dealers have
swelled the volume of sales considerably beyond
the amount reported a week ago. Many oppor>
tunities have existed the past week to dispose
of large lots OF wool at concessions. but SO far
prices appear to have been well maintained.

"a MARKED NIoGER WON'T HALE SELL"
The morning OF the goth Of August
when the sun arose Cashier White still
sat bound in the armchair in the bank
facing the vaults. He could hear the
football OF early passers-by on the pave,
ment on tho outside, but could give
no alarm; 80 there he sat in agony until
pine o'clock, when the president of the
bank arrived, and, finding the bank
locked, supposed that something un-
usual had detained the cashier at home,
and with his own key unlocked the door
and entered TO find Raymond White
half unconscious, tied securely IN Il
chair, md the vault doors opened.
"'Good GodA" he exclaimed; "robbery

V,t the cords that bound the cashier.
That gentleman could neither speak
nor stand for some moments, but when
he could he told his tale, and concluded
with the words; "Thc manager OF the
affair was the man with the long, black
beard for whom l cashed the checks
on yesterday"
"Whot the captain of the slover2"
"Tho same; what Is his name, or
whom were the checks made payable

"Thc checks were made payable TO

with long black beard was seen on the
decks while the planters were aboard,
they had no sooner descended to their
boats, in which their purchasers were
already seated, than they heard the
captains voice: up anchor, and away
"As the anchors were raised, the
vessel rounded to, its sails filed, and it
glided away. The negroes having their
terror removed told their tale, and the
bows of the planters boats were turned
towards the schooner.

Niles, alias Black Beard.
The negroes have all been returned
to their masters, and the governor of
Georgia has joined with the governor of
South Carolina in offering a reward for
the apprehension Of this daring buc-
cancer, murderer and pillager; thus the
amount offered for Angus Bruce, dead
or alive, by these two states is S5O,O0O,T
