Latest about Guiteau. —Ou Saturday as 
the prisoner was being conveyed from the 
Court House to the Jail, after the trial, a 
mounted horseman billowed the prison van 
for some time and then rode up to its side and 
fired a pistol shot at Guiteau. The shot took 
effect in Guiteau’s arm causing a simple flesh 
wound. A police officer who was in the seat 
with the driver of the v-n fired at the assail¬ 
ant but missed him. The clumsy van gave 
chase as soon as possible. The supposed assail¬ 
ant was finally arrested and confined in jail, 
but there is some doubt whether or not he is 
the man. The man arrested is one Jones who 
owns a farm near the city, but who is thought 
to be a “ crank.” Those who know him say 
he is half-witted rather than crazy. Guiteau 
wants his body-guard increased. Dr. Bliss 
was on the witness stand on Saturday, and a 
portion of the vertebra? injured by the ball 
was examined by the jury. Col. Rockwell and 
Gen. Swaim also testified. To-day Mr. Sco- 
ville will, it is reported, ask his associate Mr. 
Robinson to withdraw from the case, the lat¬ 
ter having for the third time pursued a line of 
policy which ScoviUe did not approve, The 
Government expects to close its case to-day or 
to-morrow, but Mr. Rcoville thinks the trial 
may yet be prolonged for six weeks. 
Ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling has opened a 
law office in the Bank of Commerce building. 
New York—at Cedar and Nassau Streets. He, 
like Blaine and Grant, seems to have decided 
to live in New York. His law practice will 
no doubt be large. 
Michigan University is to have a new muse¬

J. A. Poorman, Paw-Paw, Mich., and two

A transfer of $45,000 of real estate in Mc¬

A Virginia paper, to which perhaps the wish 
is father to the thought, says that the desira¬ 
bility of a reunion of Virginia and West Vir¬ 
ginia is felt by many iu both States, and it be¬ 
lieves the question cannot long be kept out of 
the discussions during the political campaigns 
in Virginia.

A Surprising Change. 
I take no other medicine whatever, there¬ 
fore must attribute my improved condition 
to Compound Oxygen. Four weeks ago I was 
weak, unable to sit up long at a lime, with 
paroxysms of coughing that would make my 
lungs feel sore and prostrate me very much.

my family." Treatise on “ Compound Oxy¬

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Monday, Nov. 21, 1881. 
Here are some items of agricultural news 
condensed from telegrams received here be- 
tw'een Friday noon November 18 and noon to¬ 
day: Portland, Me.—The advance in rail¬ 
road freights tends to depress breadstuffs. 
Dairy products dull. Produce iu good supply; 
market more sluggish.Boston, Mass.— 
Flour dull influenced by late downward 
movement of wheat at the West. Demand 
for provisions increasing, a good trade for the 
time of year. Business of the week in wool 
has been good—sales 2,800,000 pounds, of 
which 350,000 pounds have been fine Ohio and 
Pennsylvania fleeces at 43(fj.45o, mostly at 44($ 
44>^c. Michigan and Wisconsin fleeces have 
sold at 41)^ (ft 42j jC for X. Unwashed wools 
in demand, sales of all sorts 1,000,000 pounds, 
including considerable coarse at 173a(ft20c; 
fine at 25(ft:30c; and n edium at 24(ft,34o per 
pound. Large lots of Missouri selling at 28@ 
30c, and good to choice Western medium at 
30.ft,ole. Combing and delaine fleeces steady, 
delaine 45(249c, and Missouri, Kentucky and 
Illinois combing at 30(<l32c. California wools 
move slowly; some 336.000 pounds having been 
sold at I2(ftl4c. Prices stiff; manufacturers 
run pretty close, but ow ing to nearness of 
time for taking stock and settlement, much 
stir in business isn’t expected until after the 
holidays.Philadelphia, Pa.—Flour and 
grain rule steady and firm. Owing to small 
demand for foreign shipment, the supply is 
fully up to the demand. A fair trade iu hides 
at steady prices; goat skins in i e uand at high 
figures as the market is short ot best grades. 
Choice potatoes command high prices, and 
general produce is firm. Supplies of fruit 
generally inferior; apples plentiful, prices 
favoring buyers except for fancy lots. Cheese 
quiet; very little trade in provisions. Cotton 
market more active with a rise of 3-16@)*c. 
Wool market firm; but little doing.. 
Cleveland, Ohio.—Grain market unsteady. 
No. 2 Red Winter wheat $1.36. Hog market 
active, receipts 4,000 a day. Sales $5.05<ft$ti.- 
32j* per 100 pounds. Clover seed dull and 
down to $4.75 for prime medium or mam¬ 
moth.Cincinnati, Ohio.— 
The formation of a hide and leather ex¬ 
change promises good results. Grain and 
its products have rallied and advanced, but 
got a set-back on Thursday. In Spite of 
warm weather the provision trade has been 
active especially for green meats. 
Indianapolis, lud.—Weather too warn for 
the season and considerable rain. Country 
roads in bad condition, all business greatly 
embarrassed therefore.Minneapolis, 
Minn.—During the week the ground in the 
Northwest has been frozen so deeply as to stop 
plowing, leaving 20 per cent of the wheat land 
in this State not plowed. Thrashing wheat is 
progressing but much of the grain being 
thrashed is injured by w et. Wheat delivered 
here during the week shows considerable loss 
of grade; market unsettled but lower. More 
than half the flouring capacity of this city is 
shut down. Flour in light stock, and held 
firmly. Most of the lumber mills have shut 
down owing to running ice; all must soon 
close for the season, leaving 50,000,000 feet of 
logs ou hand and light stocks of lumber. 
County collections generally good.St. 
Paul, Minn.—Weather bright and cold. No 
snow except farther West; the North Missouri 
is frozen solid at Bismarck and navigation is 
closed to the upper country. The fuel problem 
for interior points is exciting great interest ; 
the railroads find trouble in meeting calls for 
transportation. 
Chicago, HI.: A good speculative trade in 
grain, but receipts light, with prices unset¬ 
tled and irregular. Hogs coming in freely; 
an improvement in quality over last month, 
though some complain that they are not as 
solid and are not larding as well as expected. 
Mess pork on hand, 70,501 barrels of new 
Winter-packed, and 30,532 barrels of last sea 
son. Receipts of breadstuffs for the week 
are: 52,000 barrels of flour; 210,618 busheie of 
wheat; 1,164,555 bushels of corn, and 209.272 
bushels of oats. Shipments, 53,145 barrels of 
flour; I70,35S bushels of wheat, 1,599,564 
bushels of com and 246,986 bushels of hats. 
No money to go into the country for grain, 
but considerable for hogs. Packers are bor¬ 
rowing more money than at any previous 
date this season.Peoria, Ills.; The in¬ 
clement w'eather is very unfavorable to pack- 
era who began operations recently. The Illi¬ 
nois River is rising rapidly here, but thus far 
no damage to property has been done. 
Milwaukee, Wis.: The continued stormy and 
wet weather renders communication with 
the interior difficult and the transportation 
of produce and merchandise impossible. All 
the interior mills and factories have been 
shut down on account of floods. Receipts of 
cereals and produce light. Considerable dam¬ 
age to stacked grain reported owing to rains. 
Millers here have nearly all closed, and flour 
is dull.Louisville, Ky.: Leaf to¬ 
bacco firmer and strong both old and new 
grades. Flour dull, dealers having stocked 
up during the excitement. Com in fair de¬ 
mand; receipts moderate. Considerable rye, 
com and oats will be needed in the country 
tributary to Louisville, which must come from 
the West. Provisions are low. Only 4,000 
hogs have been killed to date [Friday eve¬ 
ning], the weather having been unfavorable. 
St. Louis, Mo.: All grains are declining. 
Packing hogs in demand and scarce on 
account of cold facilitating packing. Export 
steers scarce. Missouri plug tobacco abund¬ 
ant; Virginia leaf scarce.Kansas City, 
Mo.: Grain market weak; prices lower. 
Cattle receipts small, cattle market quiet 
with downward tendency in sympathy with 
declining markets East. Hog receipts heavy; 
prices have declined 10c.San Fran¬ 
cisco, Cal.: Wheat market easier, several 
speculative holders having sold out. Farm 
ing work greatly helped by late rains. No 
compromise is probable on the “slickeus” 
question pending the trial of a test case at 
Sacramento to force miners to stop deluging 
the lowlands with debris .Baltimore, 
Md.: Flour now in good demand and prices 
firm. Western wheat active and fluctuating; 
Southern quiet. Corn market dull; good 
supply of new Southern. In stock: Wheat, 
2,129,277 bushels; com, 789,401 bushels. Cot¬ 
ton receipts large; market steady; sales lim¬ 
ited owing to firmness of sellers. An active 
demand for prime steers’ hides; Southern 
lights lower. Maryland tobacco is held firm. 
Provision jobbing trade active; prices firmer. 
Choice lots of butter in demand and scarce. 
.Wilmington, N. C.: Weather pleas¬ 
ant. Cotton active at full prices. Provisions 
in good demand. Peanuts have a fair in¬ 
quiry. Grain dull. Rice steady.Savan¬ 
nah, Ga.: Cotton market very strong; one 
bale sold to-day (Friday) at 12c. per pound. 
Receipts, 5,27S bales; sales, 4,156 bales; stock 
on hand, 89,478 bales.Augusta, Ga.: 
Cotton coming in rapidly; sales large at very 
satisfactory prices.Atlanta, Ga.: 
Weather favorable for gathering cotton; 
picking season about over, though much of 
the crop is still in the hands of raisers w ho 
are holding out for better prices. Crowds 
daily attend the Exposition, which promises 
to be a success in all respects.New Or¬ 
leans, La.: Hay weak at $24 per ton for 
prime; choice, $26. Cotton steady: middling, 
llj^c.; low middling, lljqjc.: good ordinary, 
10%e.Memphis, Term.: Provision and 
produce markets well supplied; a fair demand 
but prices weaker.Nashville, Temr.: 
Produce higher, except eggs, which bring 20 
(ft 2lc. from the wagon: a general egg scarcity 
in nearly all the country markets. Feathers 
have declined from 48c. to 46c. and have a 
downward tendency. Country collections, 
as a rule, are fair.

The New Carpels. , 
Messrs. J. & J. Dobson have in the course of 
the past year been adding new looms to their 
factories on the Schuylkill and have been 
otherwise enlarging their facilities for the 
manufacture of carpets, the evidences of 
which are shown in the great rariety of r ich 
fabrics exhibited in their vast salesrooms at 
Nos, 40 and 42 West Fourteeeth Street, New 
York. Though carpets of all grades are here 
shown, yet the stock is specially replete with 
the finer varieties, the Wiltons, the Moquettes, 
the Axminsters, etc., the Messrs. Dobson hav¬ 
ing of recent years carried the manufacture 
of these more costly fabrics to a degree of 
perfection rivaling the best Eurojreau work¬ 
manship. They have introduced this Autumn 
many new designs conceived iir accordance 
with the latest canons of decorative art. These 
designs consist for tiie most part of a combi 
nation of geometrical figures and flowers—the 
latter, however, not futile attempts at the re¬ 
production of nature, but generalizations of 
natural forms. The firm is one of the most, 
reliable iu its branch of business, and out of- 
town people would do well, no doubt, to make 
an investigation of its goods, before purchas¬ 
ing elsewhere. 
“ The Doctor told Me 
to take a blue pill, but I didn’t, for I had al 
ready been poisoned tw ice by mer cury. The 
druggist told me to try Kiduey-Wort, and 
I did. It was just the thing for my bilious¬ 
ness and constipation, and now I am as well 
as ever.” Sold both dry and liquid.—Detroit 
Free Press. 
Tropic-Fruit Laxative is the best and 
most agreeable preparation in the world for 
constipation, biliousness, etc. One-half to one 
lozenge is enough. Price 25 and 60 cents per 
box.

Butter.— Confidence In fine butter still exists but 
low grades divide the business with oloo. Sellers 
are handling a good deal of high bought stock and a 
break In rates upper grades or stock would be severe 
upon such owners. Possible light supplies from the 
west this coming season helps to strengthen rates 
but there I* a large quantity’ of medium class goods 
that must be unloaded before the market will ride
