HOW TO TELL WHEN SUBSCRIP¬ 
TIONS EXPIRE. 
Many of our readers are Inquiring how they may 
know when their suhscrlptlonx exilin'. Many write 
us t " As the Rots At. has stopped coming, J presume 
my subscription has expired." tint- method Is a very 
simple one. and we trust all will rend this explnnn 
tloti. Under the title heading of the paper and di¬ 
rectly under the hull’s head Is the whole number of 
the paper. The number ol the present Issue, will be 
seen to be lfi?5. The next will be 167(1, and so on. 
Now when a subscription Is received and put in the 
printed Hst, S3 numbers are added to the whole num¬ 
ber and printed after the subscriber’s name. For In¬ 
stance, sub.seliptIons received tldR week will be 
numbered on the printed address label ITilT. that Is 
1675 with 53 numbers added .making 1727. When, 
then, the whole number of the paper reaches 172? 
then all subscriptions so numbered expire. Look¬ 
ing to the present time, therefore, it will be seen that 
all subscriptions expire next week, if the number 
after the printed name Js 1(775 : if 1076, the week 
after, and so on through the year. If there is no 
number following the address on the wrapper the 
subscription expires not until the end of the year.

The Garfield memorial services will take 
place in the House of Representatives on Mon¬ 
day, February 27. The oration will be deliv¬ 
ered by ex-Secretary of State Blaine. All the 
executive departments will be closed at 11 
o’clock A. M. of that day. 
The floods have been rampant the past 
week. The Mississippi Valley has been inun¬ 
dated for miles, and the inhabitants are in 
great distress. The destruction of live stock 
has been very great. The Ohio River also 
has been above its banks, and business on the 
railroads has been interfered with. Reports 
of damage from floods come from Chicago, 
Louisville, Toledo, Springfield, St. Louis, Cin¬ 
cinnati and other less important points. On 
the 2l>d inst. Congress promptly adopted a 
resolution appropriating $100,000 for ihe re¬ 
lief of the sufferers in the overflowed districts. 
Washington’s Birthday was very generally 
celebrated throughout the country. In this 
city the day was observed by the usual dis 
play of bunting, and by appropriate exercises. 
8ome modest citizen of Providence, R. I., 
who withholds his name, has given about 80 
acres of ground, admirably situated, for the 
purposes of a public park, designing that it 
shall be commemorative of the encampment 
of the French tr oops in the war of the Revo¬ 
lution. 
President Arthur, on the 24th inst., nomina¬ 
ted the Hon. Roscoe Conkliug to fill the va¬ 
cant Judgeship of the Supreme Court, and A. 
A. Sargent, of California, to lie Minister to 
Germany. Both nominations were surprises 
to the Washington politicians. 
Already 6,000 more immigrants have landed 
at New York than at the same time last year, 
and it is thought the whole number of arrivals 
in 1882 wall reach half a million, the largest 
total on record. 
Altogether, 382 business linns were burned 
out by the Haverhill conflagration. Among 
these were 108 shoe manufacturers, 20 sole- 
leather firms, 8 shoe-trimming firms, 8 banks, 
and nearly 100 firms auxiliary to the shoe 
manufacturing establishments and dependent 
on them. The first reports of Haverhill’s af¬ 
fliction were hardly up to the level of the se¬ 
vere truth. 
A Wonder to ITerself and All Around 
Her. 
A gentleman who procured Compound Oxy¬ 
gen for his w'ife, says in one of bis letters: 
“ My wife is so different now from what she 
was w T hen I wrote you, that she is a wonder 
to herself and all around her. I am well sat¬ 
isfied that had it not been for your remedy, if 
sSie had lived until this time it would have 
been but on the blink of the grave.” Treatise

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, Feb. 25. 
The following items of agricultural interest 
are condensed from telegrams received here 
within the last 24 hours:—Boston, Mass., wool 
market quiet; pricas unchanged; sales of the 
week 1,850,000 pounds of ail kinds; manufac¬ 
turers still holding back. The Loudon auction 
of colonial wools takes place on Feb. 28. The 
offerings will not exceed 800,000 bales and may 
fall considerably short of that figure. The 
future price of fine domestic clothing fleeces 
here hinges to some extent on the prices 
obtained at this sale.... 
Philadelphia, Pa,: Prices of grain dull. 
Collapse of speculative boom in wheat is un¬ 
settling and depressing prices without influenc- 
ng exports much. Europe has used from 50 to 
75 milli on bushels more wheat during the past 
year than ever before; but owing to excessively 
high prices here, the supply obtained from 
this country has been less than during the 
previous year. Wool, steady: demand limited. 
Cottor. drags heavily. Farm products quiet. 
Heavy arrivals of foreign beans and potatoes 
check sale of domestic growth, particularly of 
medium potatoes. Southern green truck 
beginning to come forward freely. Fine 
butter scarce; high cost diverts trade to suine 
and oleomargarine in which a brisk 
business is being done at comparatively low 
prices. 4 ... 
Cincinnati, Ohio.: Floods on the Ohio and 
its tributaries have covered all the bottoms 
and inflicted enormous damage on the resi¬ 
dents, mainly farmers. Stock, fences, crops 
gathered and in the ground, have been de¬ 
stroyed or greatly injured; yet the injury to 
agriculture is lighter than it would have been 
at any other season of the year. Flour and 
wheat firm. Corn dull and trade restricted 
owing to the closing of the distilleries and the 
stoppage of railronl and river transportation 
by the floods. Hogs firm, owing to light re¬ 
ceipts. . . . Chicago, HI.: In grain there 
is a feeling that the market is being “ worked” 
by weather speculators, and most of the small 
operators have withdrawn. Up to Tuesday 
evening wheat, under the manipulation of 
speculators, was advanced l5fc?;l3e. per bus. 
within the week, and corn 4woe. On Friday, 
however, this gain was lost, as a panic set in, 
and the market is extremely unsettled. 
There is a widespread impression that wheat 
for April delivery is “ cornered,” so that, April 
wheat Is about Ho. higher than May wheat, 
though usually w heat brings higher prices in 
May than in any month of the twelve. Other 
grains, as well ns poik and lerd. sympathize 
with wheat in its present uncertainty. Ship¬ 
ments of wheat are light, and amount of 
grain in store is not half so large as at same 
time last year.Louisville, Ky.: Floods, 
after doing a world of damage, are just sub¬ 
siding. Clear and cold. Receipts of grain 
large in comparison with last year. Sou them 
demand still active. Leal' tobacco steady; 
sales and receipts very heavy; offerings only 
fair; sales so far this year over 12,000 hogs¬ 
heads. The Kentucky 1 lemp Producers’ As¬ 
sociation has adopted a l’esoulution fixiug $6 
per cwt. as the price for the present hemp 
crop. They have also resolved to petition 
Congress for better protection of hemp by 
import duty, saying that, while opposed to a 
protective tariff, they consider that as long as 
it is in practice their own product is as much 
entitled to its benefits as manufactured arti¬ 
cles.St. Louis, Mo.: River falliugnow. 
Storms and floods ruined much growing wheat 
on low grounds, and washed it out badly on 
slopes. Owing to this news, cash wheat and 
‘‘futures” advanced S(i/4J*j'c. on Monday and 
Tuesday; but on Thursday the grain market 
was depressed and falling, and on Friday it 
sympathized with the panicky condition of 
the Chicago market. Railroad transportation 
in all directions almost suspended for three 
days owing to floods. 
Detroit, Mich.: Country roads wretched. 
Movement of grain from farmers’ hands 
steady, but averaging 20 per cent less than 
last year.Kansas City, Mo.: Advices 
from cattle ranges in Western Kansas and 
neighboring States and Territories are that 
caude have wintered well aud that the per¬ 
centage of loss is trifling.Milwaukee, 
Wis.: Wheat active at an advance of Ic. per 
bushel.San Francisco, Cal.; Wheat 
uncertain at Sl.fiHj-g per cental (100 lbs.) for 
No. 1. shipping.. 
Baltimore, Md.: Movements in breadstuff's, 
particularly grain, limited and dull. Cotton 
is a. little heavy. Bears trying to pull down 
prices; those in N, Y. having lowered prices 
HO “points,” figures here are drooping. 
Moreover the spinners of North Lancashire, 
(Eng.), at a late meeting recommended, in 
consequence of low prices and bad trade, 
the stoppage of mills for two weeks in March. 
This would curtail the consumption of cotton 
about 120,000 bales; but from past experience 
with resolutions at similar meetings, it may 
be safely aaserted that no general stoppage 
of mills will occur.Charleston, S. C. 
Last week of agricultural fail, largely attend¬ 
ed. Cotton market very unsettled... 
Savannah, Ga.: Thursday morning cotton 
opened with an active demand, which is in 
excess of supply. All sales made at full 
prices.New Orleans, La.: Above Vicks- 
burgto Helena, Ark., yes, and nearly to Cairo, 
all the Mississi pi bottom lands axe overflow¬ 
ed. Destruction and damage of crops, stock, 
etc., immense. Much apprehension about the 
flooding of all the low portion of Northern 
Louisiana. A gloomy outlook for tbe future 
of the cotton and sugar crops. 
Memphis, Tenu.: Cotton factors are in¬ 
quiring closely as to the solvency of applicants 
for credit among planters before furnishing 
supplies for next crop. The severe overflow 
is doing much damage aud will retard farm 
work, it is estimated, fully five weeks. 
Nashville, Term.: Wheat active; choice, $1.45. 
Cattle receipts light, with film prices for bet¬ 
ter grades. No noteworthy change in the 
horse nnd mule market.Winnipeg, 
Manitoba: An early Spring confidently pre¬ 
dicted, and an enormous immigration ex¬ 
pected. The area under crops in Manitoba 
and the Northwestern territory will be full” 
a third greater than last year. No Fall wheat 
is sown here. Red Fife is grown almost ex¬ 
clusively, as it commands tbe highest price.
