The Value of the Cotton Rise. A Boston journal of a recent date, speaking of the rise In cotton says : During two days, one-twentieth of the entire crop of 8,000,000 bales has been sold In New York at an Increased cost of from 1c to lc per pound. At three fourths of a cent, this represents a rise In the value of the cotton crop of about fifteen millions of dollars. The advance since January is Bet down at from sixty to seventy millions of dollars. Cotton speculators compelled to fill their con tracts, and who were " short" have been considerably squeezed. How California's New Constitution is Viewed In London. The London " Times" in an editorial article says : " The adoption of the Cal fornia constitution is a surprise to the world. It is the most astounding in strument ever framed for the govern ment of a community. If all the no tions of the reformers for the regenera tion of the human race during the Paris commune were embodied In a document, they would not appear wilder, more ab surd, more menacing than many of the provisions of the constitution which now regulates the existence of dwellers in California. Everybody is to be pun ished and restricted in the same way. Those persons only are excepted who have nothing to lose. The constitution, as a whole, is such an extraordinary in strument that the people of California might well be nearly stupefied when they learn that Kearney has carried his point. We do not fancy that his exul tation will last long. The mischief which has been wrought may produce a reac tion, and an eff ort may be made to re verse a constitution which must produce widespread ruin." A Fence Suit. A novel case has just been tried In the courts of Montgomery county. It ap pears that when William Perm was Governor in 1700 a law was enacted that 11 all corn fields and grounds kept for in cisures 6hall be well fenced with fence at least five feet high ; of sufficient rails or logs, and close at the bottom." Furthermore, that "whosoever not hav ing their grounds enclosed with suffi cient fence as aforesaid, shall hunt, kill, or do any damage to any horse, kine, sheep, bogs or goats of any other person by hunting or driving them out of or from said grounds, shall be liable to make good all damages sustained there by to the owner of the said cattle. On this law an action was based by Jacob Krause, a Norriston township, Chester county, farmer, one of whose cows had been injured by Wni. Getty, a neighbor, so that the animal had to be killed. Krause held that the fence of his neigh bor's farm was not in accordance with the Penn law, and that his cow having strayed in she had been injured by Getty in driving her out. The Jury rendered a verdict giving Krause one cent dam ages. The court ruled that the verdict was illegal and ordered a new trial.' Oil Tanks Overflowing. Oleax, X. Y., May 27. Four-Mile Run, which flows through a part of the Bradford oil regions, has for ten days been almost literally a flood of petro leum. . The production of oil has been so much greater than the shipments that the tanks have overflowed, and at least 120 barrels of oil a day has flowed into the stream. Dams have been hastily constructed to collect the escaping oil ; but In . almost every case have been broken.' Notwithstanding the low price of oil, wells have been sunk in undi minished numbers, while no correspond ing amount of tankage to receive their product has followed. The pipe lines are unable to take the oil away. Judge Lynch Abroad. Nashville, Tenn., May 20. During Saturday and yesterday fourteen men, four whites and ten blacks were arrested near Murfreesboro,' on the charge of having been guilty of burglary, robbery, arson and murder. Great excitement has since prevailed and things have looked stormy for the prisoners, the in dignation of the public have been stim ulated by the confession of John Hall and Burret Smith that they were to gether at the killing of Major Pugh about ft week ago. Things have taken such a serious turn that In answer to dispatches from the authorities Governor Marks went to Murfreesboro' this after noon and to-night delivered a strong Bpcech urging the people to Join with him In an honest and earnest effort to uphold and enforce the law. The re moval of the prisoners to an adjoining county for safe keeping had been sug gested. He wanted to confer with and rely upon the people to guard their own prisoners. He intended to give them every assistance in his power to enforce, uphold and vindicate the law. The suc cess of bis mission is a question upon which there Is diversity of opinion. Captured After Two Years. A dispatch from Port Jervls says : For nearly two years past a young man, wearing the garb of a Highland piper, has been wandering about in the coal regions of North-eastern Pennsylvania, playing his pipes in the streets, attend ing picnics and dances, and apparently depending on his instrument for a liv ing. A few days since he was playing in a mining village on the outskirts of Scrantou. A crowd had gathered around him, among them a mine laborer named Briady. Suddenly the piper ceased his music, and stepping from the crowd seized Briady by the shoulder and an nounced that the laborer was his prison er. At the same time he produced papers which he said was his authority for making the arrest. It appears that Briady is charged with the murder of a wealthy man named Findley in Scotland in January, 1877. William Male, a detective, was em ployed by the relatives of the murdered man to come to this country and search for Briady, who it was thought would bring up in the Pennsylvania coal re gions, where he had friends working. One of Briady's peculiarities was his love for the music of the bagpipe, so the detective, being a piper, adopted the dis guise of a Scotch piper, and played about in the coal towns in hope of some day attracting the attention of the man he he was seeking, he being sure, from in formation he had received, that Briady really was somewhere in the coal re gions. The ruse succeeded, after two years' patient trial. Revelations by a Burglar. The Jackson, Mich., " Patriot" says : Waterman, the burglar, now in the county jail, among his other revelations has disclosed a plan by which he and a confederate expected to plunder freight cars on the Michigan Central railroad. It was arranged to cut the seals on load ed cars bound west, when one would en ter, and the other, closing the door after him would attach a regular seal, and, of course, with that intact, nobody would suspect that the car had been tampered with and contained a pilferer. They ex pected to steal seals in sufficient numbers for their purposes. While the cars were in motion boxes and packages were to be opened and the goods taken packed in bundles, and thrown off in the vlnclni ty of Marshall, which was to be the headquarters of the thieves. The re opening of the doors of cars was to be effected by boring out an orifice with an auger-bit sufficiently large enough to ad mit the hand to reach through and cut the seal. They had supplied themselves with a pair of nippers for this work, which fell into the hands of the officers. Fatal Shooting Affair, ATLANTA,Ga.,May 23. A dispatch to the "Constitution" says : "At Kingston this morning Thompson and Joseph Morris, brothers, violated a town ordi nance by firing off a pistol. Town Mar shal Burroughs collected a dollar fine from each. Thompson Morris followed Burroughs to the depot and slapped his face, Burroughs drew a stick to defend himself. Joseph snapped a pistol at Burroughs, who then commenced firing upon his assailants and at the same time kept retreating across the railway track. The Morris brothers advanced and emptied their pistols and then took to throwing stones until both fell from wounds received. Thompson died in thirty minutes and Joseph is mortally wounded. A Frightful Jump. Teer, who jumped from the suspen sion bridge at Niagara Falls, a few days ago, wore a life preserver, to lessen the depth of his penetration Into the water ; a pponge over his mouth and nostrils, to prevent water from being forced Into them, and a thick cloth over his feet and legs to prevent them from concussion. A brass wire, attached to his shoulders, was reeled out as he fell, with just enough tension to keep him In an up right position. To strike the water fiat wise would be certain'death. Peer drop ped 102 feet in four seconds. He was exceedingly nervous just before the feat and it was thought that his courage had given out. A Hen Lays an Egg In Court. An amusing case came up in the coun ty court at Mllledgevllle, Georgia, a few days ago before his Honor, Judge Fair. It seems that one party had been charg ed with stealing a chicken, maybe. Both plaintiff and defendant were repre sented by two leading ex-Judges. A hen that had been introduced for the purpose of Identification during the progress of the case laid an egg. What to do with the egg was what puzzled the court. One opinion was that it should be taxed to pay costs in the case. Judge F. said that would be Bifowl proceeding. Judge D. replied exactly. No doubt the hen would have the case lay over if her sensibilities had been respected. Botched Executions. ' In Missouri last week a rope was used which failed under the mild test of a human weight of 150 pounds or there abouts, and the man was subjected to the annoyance of being hanged over again. In North Carolina an attempt to hang three men at once resulted in a prompt hanging of one and a tedious strangula tion of the other two. In Utah, where the law with a wise distrust of bungling hangmen allows criminals to choose death by shooting, it took nearly half an hour for three marksmen to shoot one murderer to death. An Event In Dry Goods. MeBS. Strawbridge & Clothier call at tention, prominently, in our columns to-day, to their great closing sale for the season which is made under unusual cir cumstances. It appears to be generally conceded by business men, that the bottom has been reached In the prices of the great sta ples, and an advance has set in with many of them, notably in Wheat, Cot ton, Wool and Silk. This advance seems to be well found ed and is likely to continue, and from the low prices which have been prevail ing in most manufactured articles, espe cially dry-goods, for a year or two back, there is a probability of a reaction to higher figures, which may be consider able. Mess. Strawbridge & Clothier, ever alive to the situation and to the prospects of the market in their special line of business, have made enormous purchases of staple fabrics for the next Fall and Winter. They now announce that having an immense stock of Spring and Summer goods, they have decided to inaugurate a great sale and turn into cash several hundred thousand dollars worth of goods within the next thirty days. Such a Bale, at reduced prices, in the face of a rapidly advancing market is almost an anomaly in business experi ence, but we do not doubt, from our knowledge of these gentlemen, that they have good reasons for their action, and it only remains for buyers to take ad vantage of the opportunity and secure their supplies of dry goods, especially Silks and Dress Goods, at prices lower than ever before and at much lower than they are likely to be in the future. Miscellaneous News Items. Tbe Cartbage Republican says the wool crop of Jefferson county, N. Y., won't materially increase until there are more dogs going around on three legs, with a broken back. Mr. George Uobtson, of Port Hu ron, Mich., went to sleep a few nights ago with his " store teeth" in his mouth and swallowed the plate to which one was at tached. Serious results are feared. E3?

The fathers of the young men were badly injured. tW A man bought' some of the $10 government certificates at th Cincinnati office, and missed one after retiring from the window. He could find it nowhere. " Give me a dollar and I'll get it for you," said a boy. The offer was accepted. The boy yanked another urchin out of the line, and choked blm until he opened his mouth, from which the hidden certificate dro pped out. tW Tbe horses of Rochester and vicin ity are afllicted with a new and unknown disease, Iu several oases within the past few days equines have been attacked with it and death resultod in a very few hours. Veterinary surgeons express themselves as being wholly at a loss how to treat it, as nothing similar in symptoms and results has heretofore oome within their p ractioe. The horses are attacked as by colio. tW A girl in St. Joseph, Mo., went to a drug store to buy arsenlo with which to kill herself. The olerk happened to know that she had quarreled with ber lover, and he guessed ber purpose. He gave her oorn starch Instead of arsenlo, and hurried out to tell her lover. The lover repented having grieved the young girl, went to her house, found her lying on a sofa waiting in vain to die of a dose of oorn starch, and made up with ber. tW A singular accident happened in Paradise township, York county, last week. Samuel Stahl, a blacksmith, aged 84 years, whose home was In Llttlestown, attended the funeral of Mrs. Mary Uantz. There were many persons about, so Stahl and other young men threw themselves down on the grass in the yard. Stahl had his open pocket-knife in his hand, when one of the young men jokingly rolled bim over. Tbe blade of tbe knife passed through the ribs and pierced tbe heart. Stahl died instantly. tW While the evening express,which leaves Jackson, Mich., at 0.40, was en route beyond Marshall, a girl, 11 years of age, daughter of one of the passengers, was missing from the train. The wires were put in requisition at Kalamazoo, when it was learned that she bad been found at Marengo, west of Albion. It is surmised that she had walked off tbe train while half asleep, and as the train was running at the rate of probable 23 miles an hour, it is surprising that she was not seriously injured or killed. JUT A strange story is told of Seth P. Ames, a member of Oakes Ames' family, who went to Michigan thirteen years ago, and settled on Flint river. Nothing pros pered that he undertook, and, after these years of absence, he wanted to return to Massachusetts. He bad no money to travel with, but, being a blacksmith aud ship carpenter,he determined to build a schoon er to sail home in.

But in launching this boat be injured himself fatally and died soon after. The boat is now advertised for sale at Saginaw. A Pen Worth Recommending.
