MISCELLANEOUS. 
A decision of much importance was rendered 
at the (tenoral Term of the court held at Romo 
in July. An action was brought to recover pos¬ 
session of it eow and .steer, taken by tho defend¬ 
ant while trespassing upon his premises, under 
the act of IStJi), entitled “An act amending the 
act to in-even tent tic roaming at large in the pub¬ 
lic highways." Tho entile were found by de¬ 
fendant trespassing on his lands, upon which 
they had entered from tho highway. The de¬ 
fendant justified tho seizure under the act of 
1809, Tho Court, among other tilings, decided 
section 2 of chapter sit. or tho laws of 1809, so Car 
as it permits any person to seize ami trice into 
his custody any animal which may bo trespass¬ 
ing upon premises owned or occupied by him, to 
ho disposed of under the subsequent provisions 
of that chapter, tube unconstitutional and void. 
An excursion train of nineteen cars, from 
Worcester to the IToosac tunnel, ran over six 
cows between Itoynlslnn and Athol, and killed 
them. One ear was thrown from the track, huh 
nobody was Injured. 
The dedication of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ 
Monument, set down for September 17th, at 
Providence, R. I., has been iiidciinitcly post¬

A commission appointed by tho (*overnmerit 
of the Argentine Republic, to study the educa¬

with them duplicates of the plans of tho Wor¬

model to be used in their own country. 
The deeliuc of American commerce during tho 
last ten years, has told severely upon the popu¬ 
lation of the seaport, towns, and tho census wilt 
probably show that everyplace on Capo Cod, 
with the possible exception of Provinoetown, 
has fewer inhabitants than in 1880.

A correspondent from Phelps writes tho Roch¬ 
ester Chronicle that **a greater number of acres 
than usual will he sown to wheat this fall in this 
vicinity. Very many are re-smving their wheat,

St. Joseph county, together with the eastern 
portion of Doss and tier western portion ol' 
Branch connin'-, Michigan, forms the greatest 
peppermint producing region in the world. The 
product of this section last year was estimated at 
thirty t housand pounds. Early in the spring it 
Wits thought that the plants were generally win¬ 
ter-killed. hut further development showed that 
mint laid suffered only where wheat was injured, 
From tin- number of acres growing, and its 
present condition, the yield promises to bo about 
one-half that of last year. 
"Kettle Hole,” u portion of North Kingston, 
R. I., is said to be the most ignorant place m the 
whole State. Tho people live in the meanest 
and poorest kind of huts, and are a lazy, shift¬ 
less set. of mortals. They go about clothed al¬ 
most in rags, and arc very low and rude in their 
habits,and disgusting in their talk. They bask 
hi the run on pleasant days, and burrow when 
it storms. By raising u few vegetables nud a 
few pigs and hens, they manage to gain a living, 
flie .children run wild, and arc living without 
the influence of school, or church, or home.

stock upon the market, and the Offering has become 
large enough to depress prices, medium taking the 
lead in the decline. Very iiiauy poor and soft parcels 
are being pushed upon the market at prices which 
allow ihem to be fed out. Compared with tills time 
last, year, marrows aft- higher, bat mediums are not 
doing so well. The new growth promises favorably.

ceed the yield of last year, especially at the Hunt 1 1 . 
buyers are not anxious to purchase old at our Into 
range of 9fttlac. Brooms uro quoted at (2/a6 per 
dozen. 
Run er.—Oontlnnod light light, receipts have ef¬ 
fected an advance, palls and firkin* going up togeth¬ 
er. Trade has been brisk up to to-day, but buyers 
do not desire, to slock up as heavily as they might at 
the prices, a* the impreH-ion is there is a large stock 
in tho hands of farmers, and the weather In most 
sections has t urned propitiously for a Hill fall yield 
as well. Western shares the advance In State. 
There are buyers for tola that were heated, but 
lioldorfl will not accept the rates they itiLlinutud 
a week or so ago, as the tops of such parcels now 
quite readily supply the demand for medium grades.

Choose. Tho receipts have sensibly diminished 
this week, which Inis probably mi veil a bad break In 
the market. As it was, with the turn of the foreign 
market, the Cable quoting down to iVis., and fewer 
orders from shippers prices have declined a fraction, 
t he markets on l lie oi lier side are pretty well stocked 
from the immense shipments lately ; n, largo pin t of

Frosli Ifi'uitM.—Our fruittnidelias again suffered 
one of those Indescribable over-supplied periods that 
perplex consignor, receiver and retailer. The re¬ 
tailer who buys mi hour or so ahead of the other is 
chagrined ut the cheaper rates his neighbor obtained 
stuff, and the commission umu la open ro a reversed 
blessing, the next day, from the earlier buyer for 
having apparently three or four pi ices. Then, when 
returns reach the shipper lie Is puzzled m. the wide 
ranges his advIons contain, and dissatisfied when lie 
compares notes with a more 1 'ortimuleennt.nriiporury. 
The greater part, of the past week has exhibited loss- 
e* In some one item every day. In tho fore part of 
the week peach trains were delayed, and a large 
qumicily of stain bankets were left over for Monday, 
which were pushed oil a 1,25e"80c.; on the top of those 
came apples "bough of their kind to supply two 
eitloa the size ol even New York; white il iiiulons 
could ho used belligerently, a pmlriiotod bombard¬ 
ment could be furnished through theiuirriense -tacks 
of citrons and nutmegs, and numerous schooner 
loadH and wharf-plies of Virginia mid Now Jersey 
watermelons. The latter are about ten d.ivs earlier 
this season. Southern wore never no abundant, tmt 
they rno unusually sum 1 1 from Virginia and .Mmy. 
land. Plum* and common pears are In heavy suppl v; 
ol the former, denier* would not know what, to do 
with them unless preservers came to their relief. 
Hhiekherrlex aro not wanted will not pav lor pick¬ 
ing; Some lots during the week hud to be thrown Into 
the river. 
In ilia distribution of rruit, even when the crops 
are less luxuriant than they are this year, our city 
requires flint more people should retail fruit ns a 
specialty. Tho grocer who eaters for the thickly 
populated sections hits to niuku lip such a iiilscef- 
mucous load in the morning that lie frequently has 
toOmU bulky packages of good fruit, Hint he could 
use, mid consequently consumption is curtailed. 
Until this idea Is more thoroughly put in force, 
growers will have to (in(yn|| low prices, or. what is 
frequently the cu-o, no prices, and the wholesale 
dealer must make his periodical report of “stuck " 
1 'caches to-day, with about 00.000 baskets iu market, 
are selling freely. The stock Includes some good 
Crawtords and a mingling of Melacatooiis, though 
the latter, as a yellow peach, goes to the ordinary 
trudo quite, as well as fancy yellow fruit. Karcl'lpca 
arc in market ; early Yorks are most done. Dealers

LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 
New Vontc, Aug. IS. 1870. 
A RKCKNT consolidation of the railroads lending 
West, or at least a union of interest, is likely to in¬ 
crease the Costof bringing cattle here. Already t he 
rates of passenger travel have been Innrniised, and 
most freights have been advanced. Thu effect will 
be to cheapen stock at the West rather than advance 
the prices here. Htate stock will soon begin to ar¬ 
rive freely, while the prospect of a good fall feed 
and a fine corn crop nt the West, art' opposed to tho 
Idea of high urines this fall and next winter. Tho 
supply of ealtlu has been very large during tho week 
just ended.

Hundredth Street, for Monday, and CB at, Uomnuini- 
matin 6,630 beeves for the market of Sunday amt 
.Monday. The dead meat markets had been well 
cleared of beef, and butchers turned out In force 
and bought up all the stock, piivlng rully last week's 
prices for the best, but some of the senlltiwag lots 
went rather lower, There w»ris comparatively few 
really tine droves, and UiKe. H is. was obtained for 
choice, with perhaps 111 of the finest at I7<\ on the 
scales, 58 and ,/J lbs. il cwt. There were niunv Tex¬

FREE OF CIOVEIINOIENT TAX. 
First Mortgage 
bonds, 
(COUPON OR REGISTERED.) OF 
NEW YOftSK & OSWEGO 
MIDLAND RAILROAD. 
150 MILES ARE DONE AND EARNING NOW 
ABOVE EXPENSES MORE TUAN THE INTER¬ 
EST ON THAT PORTION OF TllK MORTGAGE 
DEBT, and mors than the interest on all the bonds 
that can be Issued up to dale. 
The completion of new roud enables us to offer for 
sale more of these bonds. No bonds can bo issued 
onroad under eouidruotioli, i nil ou Jl.n lull til mud the 
issue is limited to S'hl.Olhl per mile. 
Those bonds aro desirable as an investment for 
many reasons, tho most prominent of which are : 
First: Behind them und fortifying thorn is a paid- 
up capital of nearly (7, (XXI, 000. 
Second: Tho road is anew great trunk tine run¬ 
ning between the Now York Central ami Erie Rail¬ 
ways, and shortening the distance -evenly miles a 
very great distance properly (icniMilnrcd, and one 
that alone would render this mad a- i'ust success. 
Third: Theeostof building the road Is twice tho 
mortgage, ami a railroad I* a. real estate of perfect 
title, and, if good for anything, is always increasing 
In vitlno. These bond*aruu real estate loan of the 
best character ut half value. The cost of siiujle truck 
Is about (40,(xx) per mile; mortgage, (20,000. Besides, 
In this case, the real estate Is In existence before the 
bonds are issued. 
Fourth . 1 The Mortgage Bonds on every railroad 
running put of New York City aro good, and interest 
is promptly paid on thorn. 
Filth: The total interest liability of lids great 
railway, over four hundred miles in length, will be 
but f.VXi.txxi, Gold, per annum alter the whole line is 
completed. The earnings of a single month, it is 
expected, will exceed this. 
A consideration of thu gross receipts of the New 
York Central und Erie Railways will bo all that is ne¬ 
cessary, wo believe, to convince parties that the Mid¬ 
land will net, after all expenses, a much larger sum 
than Its interest debt. 
THE RATE OK INTEREST. 
These bonds pay seven per cent. In gold, free of 
U.S. Income tax; and this, with gold nt 115, Is equal 
to over S PERCENT. A YEAR. No rnHoiml per¬ 
son could expect II HAFK INVESTMENT, WITHIN 
OUR OWN HTATE, to be offered on more liberal 
terms than those.
