Great quantities of leaf have been pur chased at greatly varying prices, and meic of it has been delivered at the city ware houses than during auy ether tice weeks hi nee tlie first of April. We hear of sales that were made as low as C and 2, 8 and 2, and 5 cents through ; though a majority of the sales were at 10 te 15 for wrappers, 0 for seconds and 3 for tillers. Several sales are reported as high as 18, G and 3, and a few ethers above 20 for wrappers. The highest price reported is 31 cents through, paid by Dan Mayer, agent for Kerbs & Spicss, for a crop grevn by Levi L. Laudis. It is estimated that from one eight te one-quarter of the crop of 1880 yet remains in the hands of the grewcis, and is sweat ing freely in bulk. It ought te be sold and packed before het weather sets iu ; and the probability is that it will be sold, as buyers arc plenty, and express a willingness te buy at fair, but net fabulous figures, and the farmers arc, no doubt, anxious te gel off with the old before they arc en with the new crop. Among the new comers within me past week arc L. ltescushinc, of San Francisce; M. Oppcnhcimer, of New Yerk ; Philip Benn and O. Eiscnlehr, of Philadelphia. I These gentlemen express themselves de-1 lighted with their drives through our county. Mr. Fitzpatrick'aFuueral. The obsequies of the late Mrs. B.

The suddenness of the death of Geerge Erwiu, the popular restaurateur, at his residence en Locust street, above Frent, at an early hour" last evening, has been the talk of the streets ever since its occur rence. At 3:30 o'clock yesterday after noon Erwin was apparently iu excellent health He went te supper shortly after that hour still well, but at 5:30 o'clock the spirit had flown and the body was lifeless. On the first manifestation of the illness which proved fatal Dr. Tayler was hastily summoned. Dr. S. Armer was subsequently called in, but neither of these physicians could afford any lclicf. The tlisca-e from which Eiwiu died is pronounced rheumatism of the hcait. Deceased was 51 years of age. He was a member of the Knights of the 3Iystic Chain, and also of the Vigilant liie company. Chief Burgess Sncath and High Consta ble Strawbridge called last evening upon the occupants of many of our tee popular street corners and read te them an oidi eidi nancc prohibiting the assemblage of per sons at such places. The crowds thinned out, but it was net long bufeic they were again as bail as ever. The officers did their duty. New, if the warning is net sufficient, let them act, and vigorously, if necessary. The law will sustain them. Yesterday afternoon a young man, whose name nobody appeared te knew, hired a team from Geerge Redsecker, the livery man, te take a young lady named Miller out driving. The gentleman called for 3Iiss Miller at her residence en Union street above Fourth, and assisted her into the buggy. Before he could get in himself the horse started eit en a slew trot, but the neighborhood turning out en masse te step the beast, succeeded in frightening it instead, aud the pace was quickened te a considerable degree. A young man named Harry Gcrfin displayed much indiscretion in running directly at and against the horse and he was overturned, rolled en the ground and urn ever by two wheels of the buggy, but without sustaining serious injuries. The horse turned in Fifth street te Walnut, and down Walnut te its stable, where it stepped of its own accord. All this time the lines were fastened aieund the dasher of the buggy,'and the lady by taking them up could easily have stepped the horse, which 3Ir. Redxcckcr assures us, is a very gentle animal. Neith er horse, buggy, nor the latter's occupant was injured. The lieu Keepers. Te-day the Bee-keepers' society was te have met, but there being no quorum pres ent no meeting was held.

Ills Premises te Partus Developing; Public Interest la Mall Routes. Denver, Cel., May 8. The Tribune says it was discovered yesterday that pro ceedings have been begun in the district court of Arapahoe county agaiust ox-Senaeor Dersey for money premised the plaintiff for services rendered in procuring a petition "creating au interest among the people, &c." in order te increase the mail facilities in cer tain portions of Oregon. The bringing of the suit here came about as fellows : Seme months age a legal firm here received from an attorney at Portland, Oregon, a claim for collection against ex-Senater Dersey. The claimant is a well-known pol itician of Portland whose name fae Tribune does net state. The latter has a number of letters written by Dersey premising se much per day for his services, and giving minute directions new te proceed te gee petitions for mail contracts &c. These letters with the claim were placed in the hands of Denver attorneys, and last win ter when Dersey came te Denver te leek after mining interests, he was visited by one of the attorneys and the bundle of letters aliened te have been written by him were shown him in support et the claim. Dersey pronounced the claim fraudulent and denounced the claimant as a blackmailer. Proceeding were immediately beguu in the district ceuit and Dersey instructed his counsel te enter a demurrer en the ground that these contracts were illegal. 'Since then matters have re mained in statu quo. One letter is dated Washington, April 12, 1870, ami tells the recipient that the writer wants him te go te Eugcne City aud procure all the petitions possible for au increase of mail service from Eugene City te Bridge Creek for daily instead of weekly service, and also te have the time made faster. The letter thus continues : I want 10 or one dozen en this route ; also get the people te write te the post master general aud te their senators. We want prominent Democrats te write te Slater and Grever, urging them te st?e that the increase is made." The correspondent is further directed te get ten or twelve different petitions en each route, te have a large number of let ters written te the postmaster general and senators, and be sure that all ask for daily and fast line ; te get the state officials aud the Chamber of Commerce at Portland also te write. The letter adds: "I will pay your expenses while you are geno and live dollars per day. If you have net the means I will telegraph you sufficient." The second letter was written four days later. It states that contracts for each read en the route from Bridge Creek te Eugene City had been obtained for one trip a week, and says, "if the schedule time ia changed new contracts will have te be made," and continues : "It is the best we can de (and there must be a guaranteed bend for the fulfillment of the contract), lieing $7,000 per annum for three trips weekly; time, one hundred hours, which is slew walking time." The writer further says : Make the contract thus; three trips weekly, 37,500 per annum ; six trips weekly, $14,000 ; seven trips $10,300. The contract te run until July 1. 1882, and net te be filed iu Washington." He further says : " We must have a new contract for the route from Leeking Glass te Cogville. Make the contract for the latter route . as fellows : Fer three trips 62.000 (you may go te S3. 000) ; for six trips $5,500 ; for seven trips $6,200. Xe contract te be binding upon" us, but upon them, until approved by 3Ir. Kidilell the agent here. Mr. Fink has filed his contract. I-xlid net want it tiL-d. I will pay him monthly if he wishes it, but I de net want my contracts en file hore." The letter closes by exhorting the cor respondents te send petitions, etc., " by the carload" te himself, Slater and Assist ant Postmaster General Brady. Anether letter, concerning the same suit, and re lating te a Washington territory contract, is also published. These letters will be produced in court as evidence te support the claim.

JUNEBS' FAITH IN CLAIRVOYANCE. WOTklSK Eighty Feet UBdergrenndtaSearch or Ore That l Said te be There. Several months age a charcoal burner at Indiantown Gap, dreamed that at a cer tain spot silver ero would be found. The dream was repeated, he says, for five suc cessive nights. He searched for a spot en the meuneains like that which he had seen in his dreams, and found one. A clairvoy ant was then told of the dreams, and' a seance followed at midnight ou the .mountain, when the new moon was apparently ever the spot. It is clairned that 6trange noises were heard en that night coming from the earth. A few shovels of earth and gravel were thrown up and a reek was taken out. and examined. Veins of a bright mineral-like substance could be traced in the stone and when this news spread through the region the valley was wild with excitement. The spot is en the hill-side only a short distance from the hut of old Jee Rabcr. who was murdered by the- " Blue-cycd Sjr " te get the $30,000 insurance en his life. Ten hard-working backwoodsmen who believed the gilt-edged story of the clair voyant paid inilOOeacb, organized a com pany, and resolved te begin operations at once for ero. A force of ten men was put te work en a shaft. After a few days' work, one of the miners, named Kreiser, was killed by a heavy bucket falling en his head while working at the bottom of the shaft. At first it was supposed that the shaft would be found at a depth of fifty feet ; then sixty was named as the limit, then eighty, and finally ninety. When the out look at each limit was gloomy, the com pany promptly made another ast-css-tneiit and pushed the work ahead. The shaft is new ever eighty feet deep and the day and night shifts of men have been in creased te fifteen. They are working under Themas Jeb, an experienced ere miner from the anthracite coal country. Netliine of any value has yet been found. Mlmrt and bwcet. Wawiiixc.ten May 0.
