THE LEAF. The Lancaster Tobacco Trade. There has net been anything in the trade during the past week worthy of es pecial remark. Packers are .still in the field buying such lets as are offered at rea sonable rates. Seme of them who are pretty well supplied with leaf declare that there is net 5,000 eases left in the hands of the growers, while ethers, perhaps net se well supplied or mere sanguine, affirm there is net less than 12,000 or 15,000 cases yet uubeught. It is generally conceded that the crop, as a whole, is better than it was supposed te be earlier in the season. Much of it is flea-bitten, but net se badly as was feared. There is certainly a geed deal of " white vein " in it, but careful handling has pretty well eliminated it and the sum total thrown aside is net unusually large. On the ether hand, it has been found that a great proportion of the crop is equal te any ever grown in the county; and a skilled operator of twenty years' experience iem?rked this morning : "There's no use in people saying that Yerk, llerks, Lebanon or ether Pennsylvania to bacco is as geed as that grown in Lancas ter county ; T have seen and handled all of it, and I knew that none grown else where equals that grown in Lancaster county." We paid a visit te E. Rosenwald's large packing warehouse, en the Harrisburg turnpike and were shown it by Mr. Win. Shultz, the manager and agent. The building is of brick 100 feet in depth by CG feet in width, is four stories high, in eluding basement, and calculated te held about 4,000 cases of packed tobacco. We found nearly 2,000 cases of packed leaf in the warehouse and a great deal of loose tobacco undergoing the process of packing. Mr. Shuitz has about 65 men at work, all busily engaged in soiling and packing. lie is yet buying, when he can lind lets that suit him in quality and price. The highest price he has paid this seaseu was 23 cents for wrapiers, 8 cents ter seconds and 3 cents for lillcrs. The lowest price paiil was 4 cents round. The bulk of his purchases consisted of the bet ter grades, and some samples shown were exceptionally fine. In one packing of one hundred were ten cases of 5 and C A's ; ten of 4 A's; twelve of 'A A's; sixteen of 2 A's ; fourteen of 1 A's, the balance being short wrappers, seconds and fillers. Mr. Shultz says the crop of 1880, of this county will average fully CO cases of wrappers te 40 of seconds and fillers. We mention the above as a fair sample of what has been done and is being done at ether warehouses in the city, at a few of which larger quantities have been pack ed, and at ethers much less. The plaut beds generally leek well, and although some of them have been visited by insects there will be no lack of plants. The growers this year have larger beds than ever before. They have learned that it is cbetper te have a thousand plants tee many than a hundred tee few. A Tew farmers have already set out a pait of their plants, hut net many, liie weather has thus far been tee dry and tee cold, and at any rate it is'as yet a little tee early te pull the young plants away from their little beds.

The thieves had hardly escaped before a neighbor came along and found him lying en the read. Nothing was done until the next day, when search was made for the villains, which resulted in the finding of the re volver and the pocketbook in the weeds with nothing in the latter but some papers.

The fish ought te be plenty next spring. A representative of the Spawn & Den Den uiseu manufacturing company, of Read ing, is here making an examination of the Columbia engine, in compliance with a communication te that end addressed te the firm by the lire committee of the bei eugh council. The engine is said te be in bail repair, a'ud a number of members of the company think it needs a thorough overhauling. An estimate of the cost of uecessary repairs will probably be pre sented in a day or two. The Aineskcag manufacturing company (New Hamp shire) are the builders of the engine, and they would very likely be asked te put in a bid for repairing it were it net that the cost would be se great in sending the cn cn cn ginoen and returning it. Prof. B. G. Ames, superintendent of the Columbia public schools, in speaking of tiie oral examinations of the pupils, which closed yesterday, said they were mere sat isfactory than he had any reason te ex pect. The written examinations 'will commence en Meuday next and whatever promotions arc te be made will be from among these .who acquit themselves creditably at the written cxami cxami uitien te conic; though distinction in the examinations which have just taken place will meet with its due reward. Several reasons were in view when the oral examinations were decided upon, chief among which was the desire te show te parents the progress their children were making, which'ceuld net be se well dene in a wiit'cn examination. The attendance of parents and ethers at the schools dur ing the past couple of weeks shows that tTie previsions made for visitors met with approval.

The public will no deubr.be thankful that the reading of cs s lys is te done away with, as they are generally chosen fiem subjects half the people knew nothing and eaic less about. Then, tee. their delivery is in such a sub dued tone that one has te straiu his eais te catch one-half of what the essayist has prepared. The time of holding the high school exercises will be given later and all persons wishing te hear the essays may at tend. Frem Theology te Teb.iccn. The Lancaster correspondent of the Bosten Transcript, after giving an account of the meeting of the State Medical society here and the theological scmii.ary commencement, passes thus te the " staple :" " Frem theology te tobacco seems a wide step, but it is easily bridged in this locality, for if the dwellers in Lan caster county are eminently church-going in their habits, they are quite as notice ably tobacco gieweis, the annual product of that commodity amounting in value in this county alone te several millions of dellavs. Were King James First alive and meditating another 'counterblast against tobacco,' he would find, should chance bring him te this part of the world, plenty of fuel te kindle his indigna tion. His tobacco-hating soul would be vexed within him every day. All ever the county large tobacco warehouses arc found, aud in Lan caster there arc some forty-five such build ings, net a few beiug huge four-story brick buildings and one or two hundred feet in length. During the spring, en certain mornings, the streets arc filled with immense blue Conestoga wagons coining in from the country and piled high with bundles of tobacco. The neighbor hood of the warehouses en such days is an exceedingly lively locality. " In adjoining counties, that of Yerk, for instance, much tobacco is raised, and throughout this portion of Pennsylvania, but practically in Lancaster county, the tobacco interest is becoming a very power ful one, as each year additional acres arc devoted te the cultivation of the tobacco plant." Drunk and Diserderlies. Steve Brown and Jehn Parker, colored, indulged in a fight en Middle street last evening and they were promptly gobbled up by Olhccrs Lhas and Leman. 1 hey were held for a hearing before Alderman A.

Scateaeed te Death. Galveston, Texas, May 17. A special dispatch te the News from Weatherford says: "Judge Hand yesterday pronounc ed the sentence of death upon William uurten ler ine muruer ei jacK iiusu. Bui ten will be hanged en July 1." A Puzzle for the Docter. The case of the young Hungarian whose name the telegraph never spells twice alike, and who, for many consecutive weeks, has been sleeping the happy hours away among the Pennsylvania Dutch, is strange enough, if true, but it is commonplace beside a per fectly well authenticated case mentioned in the Londen Journal of Menial Science. On April 30, 1879, the patient was admitted te a public hospital, baviaga few daya pre viously, and without any anificieat or ap parent reason, assumed the attitude of a corpse prepared for burial. It required all a man's strength te flex his limbs, as, for in stance, te stir either arm from his aide, and tbe moment the force was removed the armor ether limb would fly back again as though impelled by a metallic spring. He could be laid across a chair like a leg of weed, and if he were lying down he could be raised by the head, resting his heels en the fleer, as stiffly as though he were a bar of iron. If unsupported .in a stauding position he would fail ever heavily. He used te eat soup when forced into his mouth, bnt otherwise he never stirred a muscle of his face,' even when a swarm of flies was allowed te settle en it in the summer time. He never spoke, and it is te be hoped he never snored, for from the date mentioned . until February 4, 1881, beine twenty-one months, he lay in a ward in the manner de scribed, where he was surrounded by pa tients and under constant observation efthc attendants. On that fateful day in Febru ary he unwarily moved hishead. Instantly the attendants "took him en the hop, " and made him "stir his stumps, " se te speak. They spoke te him, and set him en his feet,and worked his arms, while he, there can be nasert of doubt, asked what they were giving that is te say inquired what sort of a practical joke they were playing en him. At last; te their .aston ishment, and equally te his own, it is said, he walked and talked, and new his case is classed as simple dementia. Keeping the Head Clean. Keeping the head perfectly clean is a great aid te health. A distinguished physician who has spent much of his time at quarantine, said that a person whose head was thoroughly washed every day rarely took contagious diseases, but where the hair was 'allowed te be come dirty and matted, it was hardly possible te escape infection. Many persons lind speedy relief for nervous head ache by washing the head thoroughly in weak soda water. We have known cases almost wholly cured iu ten minutes by this simple remedy. A friend finds it the great est relief in cases of "rose cold," the cold symptoms entirely leaving the eyes and nose alter ene thorough washing of the hair. The head should be thoroughly dried afterward, and avoid draughts of air for a little while. MAKKKTS. Philadelphia Market. f mLADKLraiA.Pu., May 17.
