HOW TO TELL WHEN SUBSCRIP¬ 
TIONS EXPIRE. 
Many of onr readers are Inquiring bow they may 
know when their subscriptions expire. Many w rite 
us: " As the Rorax. has stopped coming, I presume 
my subscription has expired." Our method is a very 
simple one, and we trust all will read tills explana- 
tion. Under the title heading of the paper and di¬ 
rectly under the. bull’s head Is the whole number of 
the paper. The number of the present Issue will be 
seen to be 1676. The next will be 1077, and so on. 
Now when n subscription Is received and put in the 
printed list, 52 numbers are added to the whole num¬ 
ber and printed after tins subscriber's name. For in¬ 
stance, subscriptions received this week will bo 
numbered on the printed address label 172i, that is 
1676 with 52 numbers added, making 1728. When, 
then, the whole number of the paper reaches 1723 
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 is 1076; if 1677, the week 
after, and so on through the year. Ifi there is no 
number following the address ou the w rapper the 
subscription expires not until the end of the year.

The nomination of Roscoe Colliding to be 
Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court 
has been confirmed. The vote stood 39 in 
favor to 12 against. 
Utica (N. Y.) celebrated its semi-centennial 
as a city on the 1st lust. 
The widow o£ Daniel Webster, the American 
statesman, is dead. She was Mr. Webster’s 
second wife. Her funeral was held in this city 
on the 1st inst. 
We have to report again this week, still 
more serious disasters to life and property 
caused by the overflowing Mississippi. Levees 
have been torn away like brush, and planta¬ 
tions and villages have been almost submerged. 
From a point 50 miles South of Cairo, Ill. to 
Vicksburg, Miss, the country along the river 
has been overflowed, and thousands of people 
weredriven from their homos. Some are living 
on parched corn, and mau.y have died from ex¬ 
posure and starvation. In Crittenden,La., and 
Phillips Co’s, Ark., it is estimated that 15.000 
negroes are in an extremely destitute con¬ 
dition,awaiting government supplies. Houses, 
barns, and their contents have been borne 
away by the floods. At oue time there was 
but one broad expanse of waters, 40 miles wide 
from Memphis to Madison, Ar.c. Just below 
Helena, Ark., there were 32 plantations com¬ 
prising more than 12,000 acres, under water. 
A report from Greenville, Miss,, says that on 
the 1st. inst., the river extended from Bayou 
Macon Hills in Arkansas, on the West to the 
Yazoo Hills or Chickasaw Bluffs,a distance of 
250 miles in width. Near Belen, Miss., 4,000 
acres of land have been submerged—the cen¬ 
ter of a magnificent cotton growing region. 
Not less than 1500 head of stock have perished 
in that viciuity. At Riverton, Miss., the 
levee gave way on Feb. 28, and the country 
for a length of 100 miles and a with of 25 was 
submerged. It is thought that fully 30,000 
people will be disastrously effected thereby. 
It is one of the most destructive floods that the 
Southwest has ever known. 
An Overworked School-Girl. 
From one of this large class of sufferers we 
have the following testimonial: 
“ Cinnaminson, N. J., August, 1880. 
“ From a feeling of gratitude and a desire 
to beueflt others in a like situation, I volunta¬ 
rily give my experience with the Compound 
Oxygen Treatment. When I began it I had 
for more than a year been suffering from ner¬ 
vous prostration;for I belong to a class which 
increases yearly, viz., overworked school¬ 
girls. My general improvement for nearly 
two months after 1 began the Home Treat¬ 
ment was scarcely perceptible, but at the end 
of that time I began to improve, and now, 
after eleven months have passed, I can safely 
say that I have been cured. I sleep and rest 
well, and am generally in the possession of a 
good appetite, while headaches and backaches 
are quite unheard of. My throat is cured, 
and my voice is stronger than ever before. I 
surprise my friends by my greatly increased 
physical strength. The fact that I have in¬ 
duced several of my friends to try this ireat- 
ment is an evidence of my faith in its curative 
power,” Our Treatise on Compound Oxygen,

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, March 4. 
The following items of agricultural interest 
are condensed from the telegrams received 
here within the last 24 hours:—Boston, Mass. 
—No change in prices of wool; the general 
market is >£(g>lc. off from highest prices of 
last month. Sales of ail kinds and qualities 
during the week 2,500,000 pounds. Manufactur¬ 
ers unwilling to buy heavily before advent of 
new clip, which is expected extra early this 
year. Holders are encouraged by advices 
from London, where auction rales of colonial 
wools are in progress. Latest cables report 
Nov, quotations on Australian wools as well 
sustained, with a slight advance in domestic 
(combing) fleeces. In spite of late financial 
troubles in France, the demand there is unusu¬ 
ally good.Philadelphia, Pa.; Wheat 
and corn lower, but sensitive, and quickly in¬ 
fluenced by price chauges in Chicago, Stocks 
very light, the total of all kinds barely ex¬ 
ceeding 500,000 bushels. Flour dull and weak 
with wheat. Cotton firm, but spinners buy 
sparingly. Wool drags, and buyers occasion¬ 
ally get concessions. Foreign potatoes, beans 
and cabbages are in large supply, and are 
still cheapening home growths. Dairy pro¬ 
ducts dull. The mild weather deterioi’ates 
quality, and throws the bulk of arrivals into 
direct competition with imitation butter and 
cheese, which are supplying most of the de¬ 
mand for medium grades.Chicago, 111.: 
Lumber trade the best on record, shipments 
three or four times as heavy as at same date 
last year. All pork products weak, with 
heavy stocks on hand. “Packing’’ for the win- 
ter season, just closed,will reach2,350,090 hogs; 
for the year ending March 1, about 5,100,000. 
Prices for grain irregular: wheat No. 2 Chi¬ 
cago Spring, $l.2tJ@fl.2fiJ£ against ?l.23@ 
at same time last week. Other grades 
have advanced about equally. Corn moder¬ 
ately active at 5S?^@fi0c. against 55>-£<g'57c. 
last week. Deliveries of wheat on March 
contracts have been very heavy. There is a 
shortage of com throughout the West. Spec¬ 
ulators who had 10,000,000 bushels cribbed at 
this time last year, haven’t one-fortieth of 
that amount now, and farmers, too, have little 
left. Several car-loads have left here for San 
Francisco, and fid,000 have been sold here to 
be shipped thither from Western Ohio. The 
wea ther, more like end of Apu i 1 tha n beginning 
of March, has depressed price of wheat, as the 
reports of the growing wheat are nearly ev¬ 
erywhere good.Minneapolis, Minn.: 
Snow all gone; weather mild; roads very 
bad. Farmers preparing for seeding a largely 
increased acreage. Little wheat in the coun¬ 
try; two-thirds of the flouring mills here are 
shut down. But a faint appreciation can ex¬ 
ist in the East of the rush of immigrants into 
the Northwest. To-day (Friday, March 3), 24 
car loads are expected over one road and 500 
people via another route—favorite destination 
apparently the Red River Valley. The Mani¬ 
toba R. R. is selling land in small lots at the 
rate of 1,000 acres a day, which will insure 
small farms, the best for the country.. 
Cincinnati, O.: The general Interruption of 
travel by high water has measuroably passed. 
Grain market declining during the week. 
Wheat firmer at the close; corn still drooping. 
Rye, oats and barley steady. Weather pleas¬ 
ant. Good reports from the Wiuter wheat 
crop.Louisville, Ky.: Produce ship¬ 
ments brisk. Grain markets have quieted 
down. Leaf tobacco firm and active; indica¬ 
tions good for a very firm range of prices. 
Cotton active at full rates. Live stock firm 
under scant supply. Small grain crops every¬ 
where reported unusualty promising. 
Detroit, Mich.: Weather warm; river boats 
l’unning. In wheat “ options ” (that is, sales 
for futxire delivex-y), the week saw the largest 
business ever done here—total sales nearly 
18,000,000 busheis. Receipts of wheat for 
week 630 cars againt 700 a yeai’ ago. Ship¬ 
ments half those of last year. 
St. Louis, Mo.: Grain market steady. For 
most of the year wheat hei’e has been higher 
than at Chicago, but now it is lower, and pur¬ 
chases have been made in this market for that. 
No. 2 red Fall, *1.20>J cash; $1.23X April and 
May, 81.16M June. At same time last week 
No." 2 red Pall was$1.36>£ cash; 81.19 March: 
81.22 April; May, and 81.17’^ June, so 
that great fluctuations and uncertainty are 
vei - y evident. Corn is 59c. cash, against 5(1% 
last week. Cattle have declined 0(a;10 c. 
Hog values are also weaker with the end of 
the Winter packing season. Horses and mules 
are in lively demand. A remarkably large 
Southern demand for breadstuffs. ‘ Over 
6,000 hogsheads of tobacco are warehoused 
here on a quiet market. Railway transporta¬ 
tion is resumed... 
Baltimore, M<f.: Receipts of grain small, 
A good demand from local millers has ad¬ 
vanced prices of wheat to $l,34<ft!?L35 for 
Fultz, and81.38(g»81.40for Longbei’i’y. Prices 
of Southern corn slightly higher—prime 
white, 78c.(!i'79c,, and Yellow held at 69c. 
Receipts and exports of csoiton light: tone 
firmer.Charleston, S. C. Cotton prices 
very firm: sales therefore small... .Savannah, 
Ga.: Pi’ices of cotton maintained, sales small; 
no efforts to sell. Condition of Ga. fnrmei’s 
deplorable. Relying almost exclusively on 
cotton, they have brought goods on credit at 
wha t is officially computed to l»e 54 per cent, 
interest. Many tenant farmers throwing up 
leases and working as laborers. Purchases of 
guano last year in the whole State, 150.000 
tons; this year won’t be over 90,000 tons. 
Owiug to a change to divei'sified fai’injng, 
acerage under cotton will be 15 per cent, less 
than last, year... 
New Orleans, La. Weather fine; an early 
Spring expected; fruit trees full of bloom 
Discouraging repoi’ts from overflowed section 
cause gloomy business feeling. South of 
Cairo, Ill., the most fertile sti’ip of alluvial 
bottom laud 000 miles long and averaging 40 
miles wide, is mostly flooded, the lowest 
estimate puts between six and seven thousand 
miles.under water. The water has backed 
up along Rtreams flowing into the Mississippi, 
flooding the bottoms also. Human deaths are 
reported very numerous and the loss of stock 
from drew mug ami starvation, crowded ou 
feedless elevations, is enormous. Residents 
are impoverished and dimpairing. The War 
Office’s rations promptly supplied, have alone 
saved thousands from death by stai'vation. 
Long, broud reaches are like great lakes. 
Farm operations will be delayed five or six 
weeks, and greatly curtailed through poverty.
