Condition of ths Lumber Trade.
Under thi above caption the Wiecon
tin Lumberman lor October gives some
Tery seuaible suggestions on tlo present
stato of the lumber business particularly
in reference; to aoy immediate operations
io cutting logs. It is au assured lact,
that though, there Las been, in 0110 or
two directions and as to certuin dimcs
sious of lumber, a very Blight advance in
prices, yet there is nothing, even io this
slight advauce or in the condition of
trade, whether as to general business
operations or tho special interest of lum
ber, to encourage tho hope ot early im
provement. It is stated by our ooteu
porary that "the ujoBt reliable estimates
place the amount of lumber now io pile
at Chicago at seventy-five uiilliou feet
more than there was at this time last
year." A similar increase in stock has
undoubtedly taken place at other dis
tributing centres and ou the piling
grounds of the mills io every lumber re
gion. Even if general busiuess should
remain as quiet as seems likely to bo the
fact for the next year, there is undoubt
edly enough manufactured lumber now
in pile to supply the whole demand for
1875. And yefctbereis reason to fear
that the effort to curtail production came
too late, and that it has failed to secure
euch effective co-operation as will pro
duco the desired result. If this shall
be so, there will be no probabilitythat
prices can, duriug the next y ear, advance
sufficiently to make manulacturing profi
table. There is, rather, the prospect of
stsll further decline, with hardly a
doubt of numerous suspensions and
failures, through the trade. In any
event, even that of curtailment, equal
to the largest amount of reduction pro
posed in any quarter, it seems clear that
no one who shall participate in it, or
who shall refrain entirely from logging
or manufacturing provided he is in such
condition that he can shut down, will on
that accouut loe an opportunity for
profitable 6ales from a deficiency of
stock. Better inaction for months, il
the manufacturer or the logger will
make up his mind to it, than that capi
tal shall be put into stock to depreciate,
when if left as it is, it will hold its" own,
if not increase in valuo. 'lho Wiscon
sin Lumberman says, with truth, "Pine
lands cannot depreciate in value, pine
logs can."
Pike and Wayne have redeemed
themselves from all imputation. The
notorious Dimmick, who suddenly re
signed his sat in the legislature last
winter to escape summary expulsiou, for
being engaged iu blackmailing the
banks, has been defeated for president
judge in the district composed of tho3e
two counties, by C. P. Walltr, Esq., a
brother of Rev. T. J. Waller, of
Bloomsburg. When the Democracy
nominated Dimmick for the high and
responsible position of judge with the
memory of his rascally acts clustering
freshly around him, oil good men, who
respected the office, and did not wish to
see the judicial ermine soiled by coming
in contact with such a creature, lifted up
their voices and earnestly prayed that
he might be defeated. Their prayers
were granted. Three cheers for Pike
and Wayne. G. A B.
Kesponsibility of Endohseus.
In cases where there are several en
dorsements oo a Dote, says the Philadel
phia Ledgtr, there is this difference in
responsibility namely, successive endor
seis arc equally liable to the subsequent
holder, and their relation to each other
are iu the same order. That is, any
one of such endorsers upon whom the
obligation is pressed, may claim from
either or all of those before him, but
uot from any who succeeded him.
Joint endorsers are equally liable to the
holder who is net one ef them, but as
between themselves, the recovery is to
be equally divided. So, if th? drawer
fail and there are two joint endorsers,
both solvent, cither may be called on to
pay the debt, but they must then divide
the sum between them. I: makes do
difference which signed first if they
were joint endorsers iu fact.
There is little danger of Massachu
setts becoming a Democaatic State very
soon, and the gleeful Democracy may as
well remove it from their pyramid of
viotorics. While Gastou, Democrat
defeats Talbot, Republican by, 7,032
majority, through the determination of
the people to try something more prac
ticable than prohibitatioa, the Republi
cans elect the remainder of the State
ticket their Lieutenant Governor hav
ing 12,013 majority; Secretary of the
Commonwealth, 22,439 majority, State
Treasurer, 21,842; Auditor, 22,788,
and Attorney General, 22.676 majority.
Gleason & Fell, dry goods merchants
of San Frauoisco, have failed for 8200,
000. There is a firm feeling in all the
leading Chicago grain markets but with
more buyers than sellers.

TERRIBLE TORNADO
TUECUMBIA, ALABAMA, TARTIAI.tY
DK8TKOYED. ELEVEN PERSONS
KILLED AND 100 ROUSES IN RUINS.
Tuscumbia, Ala. November 21. The
storm here Sunday evening was of such
unprecedented violence that in the space
of two minutes over one hundred build
ings were destroyed, eleven persons
killed and thirty wounded. The first
intimation of the approaching tornado
was after dark. Suddenly & sound like
rushing thunder was heard, and before
the inhabitants were fully aware the
storm had passed over them. Houses
were blown down and tho streets filled
here a oil there with tunibling walls and
shattered timbers. Scuator Morris's
wile was found dead on her bed with
two immense tiuibert. on her neck.
Her two childrcu were dead beside her,
crushed beyond recognition, in one
house, Mr. ilodgkins, his wile and four
children were found dead. In another
Mrs. Winston was found dead, and the
house, valued at 81,01)0, was a total
wreck. The estimate losses of property
will reach half a million. The Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad lose
twenty thousand dollar..
Memphis, November 24. Passen
gers arrivini; from Tuscumbia confirm
tho reports of the tornado there on Sun
day evening. J he courso of tho storm
was half a mile wide, and is strewn with
demolished houses, trees and fences.
An engine aud two cars on the Mem
phis aud Charleston Riiilroad were pre
cipitated into Spriugficld Creek by the
gale, the engineer, John Hall was the
only person injured. In some instan
ces the roofs of houses were carried a
distance of a quarter of a mile. A large
number ot horses aud cattle) were killei,
and the gathered crops destroyed.
It appears that there is not to bo a
Democratic negro in the next House
ftfter all. A dispatch received at Wash
ington from Charleston, savs that
Samuel Lee, the negro who was sup
posed to be elected in Harney's place as
a Democrat, is realy defeated by nearly
800 majority. The whole delegation
iu the next House from South Carolina
will be Republican.
After reading ex-Governor Seymour's
lottcr u second time tho Democratic
journals of New York Stuto are coining
to the conclusion thnt it is not so final in
its declination as to "prevent him ftom
accepting the position of Senator should
the Legisiaturs elect him Leading
journals of the party, tho Buffalo
Courier, the Troy Press and the Elmira
Gazi-tte, still urges Mr. Scyaiour for the
office, claiming that he will honor the
party more than any other man.
Tub A lb ink for Docember conies to

with all the good things of art aud litera

be said that pietorialy it fills the ver'v
sense of satisfaction. Four pictures o)

"Autumn" aud "Winter;" each wilh a
verse of illustration, present at ence
some ot the most pregnant designing
and the finest engaviug and printing, to
be found even in this high class publi
cation. The "Old Mill in the Jura
Mountains," after C. E. DuboUe, a
young American artist of great promise,
has a world of rugged strength aud de
sign, blended with careful and elaborate
detail. Two charming pictures appro

John S, Davis seems to have given ti
one of the most careful of his embodi
ments of a sad idea, in "Mary of the
Wild Moor," tho pictorial story ot a
Will-known tragic ballad; "Here's your
Christmas Dinner!" is full ot rho soft
ened lights and delicate shades of the
old Flemish artists who so loved to de
pict market scenes; "The Zaekenfall,
Bohemia," opens to travelers a cascade
of great, beauty, little kuowu in books,
thouh deserving place among tho .uost
popular resorts; "What Keeps Him?"
leads to a painful doubt whether there
can be any lover at ooce recreant
enough and silly enough to keep the
owner of that face and form waiting long
enough even to ask the question; and
the pictorial list m completed by a geu
eral and two interior views ot "St. Asaph
Cathedral, North Wales," keeping up
TtiE Aldine's specialty of portraying
the great religious houses of England in
rapid succession.
Literarily, this number opens wtth au
oddly titled story. "My Christinas Re
venge," bearing a name new to The
Aldine, one Kitty Wing, who may be
matron or maid, but whe certainly tells
a domestic tale very naively. "Lost
Lillian Bracy," theseiial story, rumored
to be a literary remain of (1,
P R. James, increases in interest, aud
introduces a raie figure iu the Dew ser

whom may very possibly be woven more

variety, is especially rich in poetry Mrs.
L. M. Blinn contributing a sweet little
poem called "New Year Bells;" William
II. Kernan a sadly strong one, with the
chill titlo of ''Winter and Sorrow;"
Henry Morford a seasonable cue, and

"Mary of the Wild Moore," coming
back with mournful pleasure tommy re

to establish an Art Union, similar to
the well known Art Union in England,
and distribute its works of art, both

Art premiums valued at (2,500, will be
distributed among each series of 500

We some time since stated that Geo.
W. Daicy, formerly postmaster at
I'hilipsburt;, had been sentenced to fif
teen years imprisonment in tho peniten.
tiary. Wo knew at tho time the infor
mation came hero through a private
source, but supposed it to be correct,
but find that we were mistaken, as he
was not sentenced until Saturday last.
The Pittsburg Tvlryroj'h after introduc
the case says:
Before passing sentence;, Mr. Reed, U.
S. Attorney, stated that Mr. Daicy had
served as a soldier during tho war of the
rebellion and had lost a leg in the strug
gle for the niaintainance of the iutegrity
of the union, and whilst the otTeuso
would justify a sevcro sentence he asked
of the Court in view of his patriotic
service to his country, and the good
charaotcr given him by his friends iu
Centre, that the sentence be as light as
possible under tho circumstances.
Eaicy was then directed to stand up
and His Honor Judge McCandlcss sen
tenced him to undergo two years im
prisonment at hard labor io the
Western Penitentiary. He was reman
ded to jail.
There is much sickuess in Mobile.
The small-pox is raging among the ne
groes particularly, throuch some whites
have beeu attacked. The Marine Hos
pital, the City Hospital and the Sisters'
Hospital are reported full, though it is
not at all probable that most of the pa
tients arc afflicted with the small-pox.
It is reported that forty. five deaths from
this disease alone occured last week.
Of courso the negroes, huviog no one to
take charge of them, defiant oJ'jny
authority, and naturally careless and
dirty, fall easy victims to the disease.
All attempt is being made to vaccinate
the population, and within the last three
days at least 2,000 have been vaccinated.
But, as tho measure is not compulsory,
tho class will not be reached that stand
most in need of such prevention. There
have been a few cases of "pernicious"
fever iu the city.
