8 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THURSDAY, ‘Sdne 3~6 P.M. ‘The won-election of Horace F, Oiarke, as was ex- pected, president of the new direction in Michigan Southern being very generally regarded as a defeat ef she Vanderbilt programme fora through route to Chicago, was teken advantage of by the bears to- day, to aidskem inan attack on the stock market, with very fair success, The market opened with a very unsettled feeling, consequent upon the tm- perfect understanding of the real effect of this most ‘unexpected result, which speedily resolved itself into adispesition to sell under the stimulus given to a downward movement by the bears, who thus found their opportunity. Michigan Southern led the de- clive, rapidly falling off from 1173 to 118%. Rock Island followed, selling from 12534 to 122%. ‘The rest of the railway shares joined in, in sympathy, inclua- tng New York Central, Hudson River and Harlem, Which, however, were the firmest on the list, The market throughout the day was, with rare excep- tions, with the bears, and although reacting from the lowest Agures and recovering spasmodically at intervals, Was, On the whole, off from 1 to 2 per cent on all the speculat stocks. Lake Shore sold down to 111%, being three per cent below the highest figure of the day. Fort Wayne touched 15534 from 156, Pittsburg 100s from 104, St. Paul 77% from 784, St. Paul preferred 89 from 90%, Reading 93%; from 993s, and Pacific Mail 81% from 8314. A statement that the new direction in Michigan South- ern is unlikely to declare any scrip dividend at an early day was also used to ald the bear movement, A notaole exception to the general decline in prices was New Jersey Central, which, upon a report that a movement is on foot to consolidate it with tne Pennsylvania Central on similar terms to the Fort Wayne lease, with the inevitable scrip dividend, rose from 117 to 127\. The higher Ogure in decoy sales to realize brought a@bout a partial reaction, and it closed at 124. Later intelligence concerning the election of di- rectors of the Michigan Southern confirms that pub- dished in this column this morning, with the further information that at a subsequent meeting Mr. E. P. millips was chosen president, Mr. J. H. Devereux first vice president, Mr. Le Grand Lockwood trea- surer, and Mr. George B. Ely assistant treasurer and secretary. It 13 also learned that far from, this result being a failure of Mr. Vanderbilt’s plans m this connection, It is qnite in accordance with the programme marked out by him, The elcc- thon of Horace F, Clarke as one of the directors ex- hibits the Commodore's newly acquired influence in the road. The election of Mr. Philips as president ig stated to be merely complimentary, as upon the expected consolidation of the Busfalo and Erie road With the Michigan Southern, the vote upon which is to be taken next Monday, a new election will be held for a board of directors of the consolidated road, when it is expected Mr. Clarke will be chosen president, The promise of a large scrip dividend upon the present stock of Michigan Southern 1s like- Wise reiterated as being yet in the programme.

The steamer America took out this morning $200,000 in specie, and the Vanderbilt, $85,715, ‘The money market worked to-day with increased @ase, although quite up to the legal rate of interest, the withdrawal of currency from the street to pay for the Treasury gold and the disturbance of loans consequent upon the sale of bonds to the govern- Ment being assigned as the principal causes of the activity. The supply to-day, however, was quite equal to all demands at seven per cent. Commercial Paper is dull, discounts ranging for prime names from seven to nine per cent.

Commercial Relations Between the United States and Canada—Impoertant Action of the Chamber. ‘The New York Chamber of Commerce met yester- day, at the rooms No. 63 William street, Mr. George Opdyke, first vice president, in the chair. General Hiram Walbridge submitted the following resolu- tion:— Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of the State of Ne'Waye and Mecos: wilcy ‘usasiqously passed the, House o1 w on, Representatives of the United States on the id March, 1809, recommending the President of the United States to re- hew negotiations with the government of Great Britain and press them, {f possible, to a conclusion for an arrangement Of reciprocal trade with Canada and securing to our citizens the freedom of the river. St, Lawrence and the freedom of the inshoms of Tne const of North Smarice. General Walbridge, in the course of a lengthy and exhaustive speech, stated the questions involved in @ renewal of negotiations between the United States and the provinces to be as follows:—First, an inter- ebange of thenatural products of the soil upon such reciprocal terms as may be ogreed upon second, an assimilation of excise duties and of patent and copyright law; third, the free navigation of the river St. Lawrence and the enlargment of its canal; fourth, the freedom of the inshore fisheries of the coast of British America; fifth, the regulation of the transit trade. And showed that if an arrangement for reciprocal trade with Canada could be entered into it would be of great advantage to the United States. Under the operations of the old et ys treaty the commerce between the United States an Canada increased in a striking amount. Thus in 1852 the total trade between the United states and the provinces amounted to but $16,013,843, while the total returns for 1866 amounted to $52,978,224. ‘The returns from no other country with which we have commercial relations show anything like as rapid a growth as that with the British provinces during the existence of the Reciprocity treaty, im- perfect as that convention undoubtedly was, Asa revenue measure the abrogation of that treaty has not been a success, for the returns show that we do not now collect fifty per cent of the sum ayeraged on imports from Canada during its continuance. A eneral review of the subject showed that while the Canadians will be satisfied with the convenience of selling in the United States markets, in return for the enlargement of the St. Lawrence canals by them free of cost to us, the freedom of the St, Lawrence and the fisheries, yet that the convenience of our markets to them would really be no competition to our farmers, and an actual benefit to our merchants. Our capital and credit, together with the fact that we have free access to the ocean at all seasons of the year, would be a great convenience to the Cana- dians; but their use also necessarily implied that in using our capital, our credit and our ports, we should derive the advantages that their possession give to scommunity. We should become the mer- chants of foar millions of people whom we were now driving away. The Chairman read a letter from the President, W. E. Dodge, who is absent in Washington, warmly approving of the resolution proposed. Re- marks were made in support of the resolution by Messrs. Opdyke and Lowe, and it was passed unan- imously. The Secretary was directed to send an en- eel copy of the resolution to the Secretary of tate at Washington. DEPARTURE OF THE STEAMER HERO. Opening of Venezucla to the Commerce of the World—Sailing of the First Steamer, Commodore Joseph W. Hancox, the weil-known steamboat owner on the Hudson river, has fora long time been negotiating with the Venezuelan gov- ernment, through A. M. Soteldo, an ex-Chief Jus- tice of that republic, for the purpose of opening their waters to the commerce of the United States and of the world.. He has finally succeeded, and the Con- gress of Venezuela accordingly, in April last, passed an act to that effect. mir. Hancox, fully appreci- ating the advantages to be derived from this privi- lege to the whole mercantile community, has lost no time in building steamers for that purpose. The en- terprise will be inaugurated by navigating the Ori- noco river, which fows through the richest country in South America, The first steamer, “El Heroe,” left this port on Wednesday at three o'clock for Ciudad Bollvar via St. Thomas, to be followed suortly by others which are now being built by Pusey, Jones & Co., of Wilmington, Del. This part of South America, which has been dead to inland commerce, will now be thrown open to the world, and the result will be that Venezuela, rich in natural resources, under the effects of steam navigation, will shortly take its rank among the other commercial countries on the glove. The Orinoco river and coast of Venezueia is first to be navigated from Trinidad, or the mouth of the river, to Nutrias, Fd age upland city, the distance is 1,000 miles. Oiudad Bolivar is about 300 miles from the mouth, With @ population of 30,000, Between here and Nutriag there are from fifteen to twenty towns, with a population from 1,500 to 2,000. The popula- tion of Nutrias 1 40,000, Theriver runs through a country remarkabie for its fertility of soil. Cotton is planted once in five years, and grows twelve feet high. It runs through aiso rich mineral and min- ing districts. The people now travel by mules, and ir rich products and merchandise 18 carried by bungos, somewhat similar to our flatboate, and on account of the great current of the river, which runs about Cd tiles per hour, they are si to wait at times months the arrival of their is, which will now be carried in six days, Millions of hides, tons of tobacco, coffee, fruit, &c., ra: brought down the river, find a ready market at Ciudad Bolivar, and will then be stipped to all parts of the world.’ Tue steamer Bi Heroe will soon arrive at Ciudad Bolivar, and the merchants of that city will haul her with joy. A new tron steamer, with draft of water twent; inches and great fo oga Reg freight, will leave Wii- wington, Del., on the 15t! her, F4 process of building, wil leave stiortly alter- wards, THE GETECTIVE FORCE To THe Epitor oF THE HEeRALD:— Having read with interest a statement in your val- uable paper of the 26th ultimo, relating to the man- agement of our present degctive police system, the facts set forth attracted my attention, as many of them come within my own knowledge, having veen 8 sufferer to a large amount. I would state that some months ago my safe was opened by faise keys, and money, bonds and other property stolen amounting to between $25,000 and $30,000. The numbers of the bonds I had printed and the notices sent to the money brokers. 1 likewise notified the head of the detectives relative to all the circumstances, and gave him a detailed ac- count of Ql the stolen property. I was questioned as to the amount of reward i would oer. 1 re- marked that J was willing to offer a rea. sonable reward, A good many wise looks passed between the dectectives present; some nodded their heads and others did not. ‘The loss was enterea in the “loss book," and I was requested to call again, T did call many times, but nothing could i glean about my property. Itsoon became evideat to me that the reward [had ofered was not of suiicient dimensions to stimulate the detectives to any kind of activity, and so the matter passed along from day today and week to week, but nothing was done. One day, however, I was notified bya broker that one of my bonds had been offered ts him. 1 called on the broker, found the number of it corresponded with one of those stolen from me, and it was beyond a doubt one of my bonds. Accordingly I caused the arrest of this person, and he was conveyed before the head of the detective force in Mulberry street, As soon as the suspected man cam n the presence of the detectives I saw at ounce he is known to them. He was asked how he came in pos- jon of the stolen bond. His reply was that he could prove where he got it to the satisfac. tion of the Court. Upon (his dimsy explanation the cted person Was allowed to goon his parole @honneur, to appear the following day. Now, why was this done? He was kuown to the police. Why was he not sedrched? J teit coovinced that had he been searched at that tiie more of my bonds would have been found on his person. But, no; he was allowed to take lis departure, and no more of my bonds have as yet been brought to light. T agree with you moss sincerely that a reformation is necessary in thts detective department. The man- agement 1t is Sek unsatisfactory. I could see, during ae eeaeene visits to Mulberry street inspect- ing my oWn case, Many queer things; but, of Course, it was not for me to interfere, supposing that they knew how to couduct their business; and I have now every. reason to believe tley do it to suit the; wel ‘ MA. PEABODY'S vVisiT. The following extract from @ private letter will explain the cause of Mr. George Peabody's return to his native country a: the present time:— 1 have for more than two months intended, if my ould 6 to ermbark the Scotia on the lew York, I trust,atiout the sth of June, feebioness of iny bealth was the cause, as I did not think it prudent to risk the year, When I had promised to visit you, of August, and otuers like RK HERALD,’ FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEEY.. Grace chapel, in Fourteenth street, between ‘Third and Fourth avenues, though not entirely filled last evening, at the first regular meeting of the Sunday School Association of the Protestant Episcopal Church, was the scene of an earnest and interested gathering of the promoters of the cause of Christian instruction, and the meeting was addressed by emi- nent clergymen. The exercises began by singing the 1024 hymn, and continued with the reading of the evening lesson, An address was then delivered by the Rev. WALTER DELAFIELD, President of the association. The speaker began by alluding to the importance of children in the body politic. The children of this generation were leaving their impression upon the century. He was giad to see that they were attracting the importance they deserved. The Episcopal Church did not favor spasmodic religion, but rather sought to build up by gradual progress the faith of the Church and de- velop by precept upon precept the latent piety in the youthful heart. This ‘gunday. school movement was not dogmatic in any sense; but God forbid, sald he, that this association should enter upon the p: a grounds of any rector without his permission. He would have the business men of the community, those money kings of Wall street and the eminent jurists who adorned the bench and bar, come into the Sunday school and devote the same talents used in secular matters to the instruction of the children of the Sunday schools, ‘The Rev. Dr. E. A. WASHBURNE, of Calvary church, was then introduced, He said that a greater unity was desirable in the Sunday school, In some Sun- day schools with which he had been-connected thera had been no system in the plan of ses, te ond found in the seme aco many Classes, each one using 8 different text book, and the result was often bad, and frequently vicious. Every clergyman should, therefore, assemble the teachers, male and female, once a week, and should, from his fine library, lay down the lesson for the week, and thus the Normal school idea would be carried out. Tnis system would engender a fine and almost perfect system of Scripture exposition, Few books were of any value, but let the rector become teacher of the teachers. The very day that boys need religious in- struction that day they left the Sunday school, and this was an evil found in our whole American sys- tem. This precocity in our boys made them prema- turely men, and the only way to fix their minds upon the Bible was to make Christian instruction interesting and mentally improving. The Key. G. J. Greer, D. D., followed, eine that on account of the funerals and baptisms that occur on Sunday, added to other onerous duties, no rector could give the attention demanded to his Sunday school. He advocated short sessions of the schools. He thought it exceedingly stupid that children should be wearied by long hours. Singing also needed some changes, and music tn the Sunday school was much more necessary than in the church. He closed by commending and bespeaking for the movement the support of all the parishes. The Kev. Dr, H. ©. Porrer, rector of Grace church, then made a few brief remarks. In response to an inquiry he said that he was in favor of lay speaking in their Sunday school therings, and especial! so with the Wwomen--jlaughter)—a right whi he would affirm, and at the proper time advocate, (Applause). He believed that all defects in their Sunday school system were remedial and they should be found out by discussion. They were of a very grave character and were vital to the suc- cess of their project. i After recommending questions for their practical discussion the reverend gentleman concluded by asking their serious consideration of the great work, and the meeting adjourned. FIELD DAY OF THE SECOND BRIGADE, N. G. According to announcement the several regiments Ol this old corps assembied in full uniform, with one day’s rations, at their regimental armories in this city early yesterday morning for the purpose of pa- rading for field exercises and practising in the evo- lutions of the line at Prospect Park parade ground, Brooklyn.

The brigade was reformed, when Major General Shaler and accompanied by Brigadier General Burger and reviewed it in columns of masses. At five o'clock the parade was dismissed, the regiments returning to the city by the Flatbush avenue and Coney Island cars. The movements as a ri thing were excellent, and considering the distance traversed by the men betore reaching the grounds, they are to be mended for their endurance and pluck. The were also good. The morning was quite pleasan , but during the afternoon the men su! from the heat. There were some 2,000 men on duty, repre- senting the following regiments:—First artillery, Co.onel Teller; Filth regiment, Lieutenant Colonol Hillenbrand commanaing; Sixth regiment, Colonel Mason; Eighty-fourth regiment, Co.ouel Conkling, and Ninety-sixth regiment, Major Stauif comman ing.

THE CHICAGO PAESS IN A USS, A Card from Ex-Governor Bross. 1CAGO, June 1, 1969, To THE EDITOR OF THE E ING Post:— J crave a small space in your columns to state the following in relation €0 your article of yesterday. With ita spirit or anything you may chose to say in gard to iy act# or abilities I have nothing to say. I question not your right or that of all men to form and to express = opinions you or they may choose in regard to myself. 1 dnd in gent article the following specification:— “William Bross, Esq., never was the editor of the com- rings Tribune,” and mach more of the same import. Now, in regard to toat, I have tiris to say:—M connection with the presé of the .city dates bac nearly twenty years: and in all that time all my as = have treated me as an equal—as a brother editor. My letters when absent have, except in a cal cases, been published over my initial, ‘ “editorial correspondence.” Surely this fact will give those who have any interest in .the am some cause to claum that i have acted as an or. But, to be more specific, in 1852, when the late Mr. Scripps and myself established the Democratic Press, he wok ae of the political department—was practically what is now understood by managing editor—the position now occupied by Mr. White in the 7rivune, and by yourseit, a3 [ sup; , in the Post. In addition to having charge of we business, I wrote geueraily both the locul and commercial items, hen we became able to procure asst ‘| I wrote articles on the topography, resources an the present and prospective development of the city and the Northwest, and often political articles as well. In the tutervals of the absence or the sickness of Mr. Scripps—often for weeks, and even months together—{ had the entire charge of the paper. In 1868 the Press and Tribune were consolidated, and then four editors were recognized as equalain the management of the paper, Dr. Ray, Mr. Medill, Mr. Scripps and myself. You wiil not deny that you often read your articles to me aud corrected Or changed them at mys tion. Of course this-thing was mutual allaround. For nearly eleven years | think you must admit I have had good reason to aul that I was “one of thé editors of the 7ribune.”’ «No man can eg say that lever claimed anything more than that, 1 bag) ged have ever given me credit for anything more, I fancy it 1s due to the fact that the editors of otter inthe city and out of it have heid mo gay abused me, for nearly ail the sing they ever saw fit to charge upon the entire establishment with which Iwas connected, Whatever reputation this has given me—and you | an editor not nconsiderable—I should most giadiy have spared, for it is and unjust my Aasociates; hood which my enemics ave, fu times past, heaped upon me, have fallen with crushing effect and cruelty upon the few who it hear me and who had no means of redress Whatever reputation, small though it be, I have been able honestly to acquire as an editor within the jaat twenty yeara, is dear to me and vo mine It ig as much my own as an: ae 1 ever carne’, and fat more valuable than tens of thousands of them. 3 THE UNITED STATES BREWERS’ CONGRESS, Congress to be Memorialized for a Modifica tion of the Internal Revenue Laws—Inter- esting The National Congress of Brewers reassembled yesterday morning at Newark, N. J. During the evening of Wednesday and early yes- terday morning the several committees were ac- Uvely employed in attending to their duties, and at ven A.M, the president, Mr, Edward Kistner, called the congress to order. After roll call, during which several new delegates were reported to have ar rived, the reading of the minutes of the first day’s session was dispensed with. Mr. P. SCHEMAN, of Philadelphia, Chairman of the Committee on the New Constitution, reported that they find the constitution adapted to the purposes of the association, and suggest that it be printed With the proceedings of the congress, submitted to the district societies for their opinion, and that it be voted on at the next congress, in 1870, which was | adopted. The Finance Committee, through Mr, Richard Katzenmeyer, of New York, reported the total ro ceipts of the central organization during the year, melusive of the balance in the treasury at the be- ginning of the year of $4,558, were $7,642, and the expenses $1,862, leaving a balance in cash in the hands of the treasurer o $5,740. Mr. HENRY Ouaussy, Jr,, of New York, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, submitted the fol- Tewiess which were received with enthusiastic ap- P ere Whereas we, the brewers of the United States, in cor assembled, hat retofore, petitioned the Congress of the United States for # modification of the United States Internal Revenue law in relation to the taxation of fermented liquora, so that we should not eny longer be submited to arbitr sejzures of our property and inquisitorial examinations {nfo business affairs and interruptions of our business nce of the groundless action of ignorant and tr- vernment oilicials, of general as weil as limited nd’ whereas in spite of our clea jonal taxpayers since the enack ment of the frat Internal Revenue act, as shown by the rev cords of the depart and notwithstanding we have neves complained of the of taxation imposed upon our business, although we have repeatedly shown and proved by untmpeached and unimpeachable documentary evidence that said rate of taxation ts hivher than that of almost every European country, but have always been ready and willing to cheerfully bear our Just proportion of the public burdens necessary to be collected for the maintenance of our com- mon overnment and the discharge of the national debt tn- for the preservation of the Union of the States, we not yet succeeded in arousing the attention of’ the United States Congress to the importance of granting us the relief asked for Taised im e United States fs inadequate to the demands of our busi, ness, while the scarcity and price of the article is increased by the high rate of duty tmposed upon Canada bariey and the value of all barley has further enhanced by receut Cou- ional legislation in relation tothe taxation of malt; erefors Resolved, That our manufactures should be treated and taxed upon’ the principle adopted by every enlightened and experienced government ; that they really constitute necessa- luxury; but that the lightly as into be collected, conferring no arbitrary powers upon Irre- sponsible oflleials, providing for the conduct of all prosecu- tone in the orditery tribunals of justice and on suflicieut notice to the persona whose persons or property are to be af- fected thereby, and being arranged in auch simple form that full compliance therewith on our part is possible aud can be enforced, ‘Resolved, That the reduction of the duty on Canada barley and the repeal or essential modification of the act commoniy, but erroneously, construed as authorizing the imposition an additional tax upon malt is imperatively demanded by the interests of our % Resolved, bit sry Executive Committee appointed by this congress be and the same {s hereby empowered to take ail steps which may become necessary to secure a revision of the laws of the United States in conformtty with our views, And whereas {t 1s an undeniable fact that the beverages Tost in vogue among 8 people, exercise « marked influciice upon their character and habits, thelr national traits and {n- stitutions; that the use of fermented liquors has a tendency te suppress the passions usuaily excited by the indulgenoe 1a dlatilied liquors; and thus, checks. fotemperance aud crime and promotes the cause of true temperat ‘and that in con- Sequence of the recognition and appreciation of this fact, 16 has become the settled policy of every enlightened Europeans government to place within eaay reach of the working classes & wholesome and nutritious beverage, possessing as few in- itoxcating qualities as possible, therefore.

Resolved, That an effective organization of brewers and their business friends &} di state and county, and that the same act in concert with every #o- ciety and organization whose object is to uphold and pro- mote the cause of civil and religious liberty, and that a com- mittee of tive be appointed for each State, with full power to organize local societies and cali a State convention whenever necessary. Renolved, That we will patrontze and sustain all papers advocating’ the same views entertained by us, and that we Will use our beat exertions to bring to the notice of our en- nm pul ie great advanta; i# count ns ‘overnmental policy in accord- ‘ance with our views. On motion of Mr. P. ScuemM the resolutions were unanimously adopted and the thanks of the congress voted to the committee for the able manner in which. they have given expression to the sentuments of the brewers of the United States, Mr. ADOLF SCHALK, Of Newark, moved that it be submitted to the district societies by the Executive Committee, to send their views to the next Uon- gress, whether it be expedient, as proposed by Mr. Schwartz, to institute, at the expense of the asso- ciated brewers of the country, a school of imstruc- tion for brewers, in the city of New York or else- where, in connection with a model brewery, for the scientific and practical education of brewers. ‘Tims was carried, and the Executive Committee author- ized to prepare a plan for such a school. Mr. FREDERICK LAUER, of Reading, Pa., called upon the members to exert themagives to have the tutions for a reduction of the import duty on bar- ley numerously signed by citizens and sent to their members of Congress. Letiers on the subject were read from Fernando Wood and James Brooks heart- ily endorsing the proposition. Mr. LAUER stated Commissioner Wells was on their side and understands the matter fully; and Mr. Lauer aiso denounced the political humbuaggers who, od a ends, are busy logroliing to increase e duties. Mr. KATZENMAYER, the Secretary, read a number letters from maltsters and hop dealers, who are all in favor of a reduction of the duty on barley. [h one place, in the interior of New York, nearly the whole population signed the petition. A similar memorial from St. Louis, the Secretary said, had been warmly advocated by Mr. Finkeluburg, meum- ber of Congress from Missouri. It was ordered that more copies of the memorial be printed and circulated throughout the country for signatures, The subject of the further extension of the Associa- tion of Brewers being in order, it was reported by the Secretary that the brewers of lowa have, during the year, formed themselves into @ central society, and are, as such, members of the United States Brewers’ Aasoctation. Mr. WeRTHMUELLER, of Davenport, Iowa, made a report of the steps taken by the brewers of Gaiena, Ii, and Dubuque, lowa, to organize for vigorous action and more energetic life. And in order vo in- tuse still more energy into the district societies of these States, he proposed that the nex Congress be held in the city of Davenport, lowa. The report was accepted and the city of Davenport select as the place of the next meeting, on the second Wednes- day in June, 1870, he seat of the Executive Committee was fixed at New York, and the members ef the committee of last year were again nominated:—Henry Clansen. dr., a8 president; Frederick Schaefer, wreasurer, an Richard Katzenmayer, secretary. Mr. Clausen ob- Jected to his own re-election and nominated Mr. Adolt Seti k, for president of the Executiv Jommittee. @Mr. Schalk believed that Mr. Claésen’s modesty exceeded the bounds of propriety. Mr. Clausen’s experience, said the speaker, as chairman of the committee for several Years, is now of especial need to the association, and he hoped that his declension will not be ac- cepted, Mr, Schemm was of the same opinion, and the congress re-elected the three geutiemen by accla- mation. A suggestion of organizing themseives into a mutual fire insurance association was not received with favor and dropped, as beyond the scope of the congress, After passing complimentary resoluttons to the Officers of the congress, to the brewers and citizens of Newark and to the press the motion to adjourm sine die was carried, with three cheers for whe Newark District Society of Brewers. The proceedings closed last wight with a grand banquet at Brenner's Hotel, to which the most prominent citizens ot Newark were invited. To- day there is an excursion down the bay, and ov. Saturday next to Central Park aud through the pria- cipal brewerles in New York cil MURDER TRIAL IN SULLIVAN COUNTY, KY. Sentence of Noak Bigelow for Killing Cyn- tha Segnr.
