D o m e s t ic .A novel c a se h as recently been tried

before the Superior Court of Springfield, Mas*., involving the right of eodesiaatical discipline to the extent of Injuring an excommunicated man’s business. Joseph Parker, a Holyoke livery man, sued a French Catholic priest for 1 1 0 , 0 0 0 damages, claiming that the priest had, after excom m unicating him, ruined his business by undue exercise of pastoral authority. The Judge, in his charge to the jury, said the law o f the country does not allow ecclesiastical Interference with a man’s business after he has been excommunicated from a church, which is the extent of the punishm ent ecclesiastical authority can Inflict; nor is ecclesiastical authority allowed to interfere with any one to deter him from giving his patronage to that business. If defendant only forbade customers of plaintiff from being brought to church in plaintiff’s hacks, he did net exceed his ecclesiastical authority ; but if after the excommunication of Parker he preveuted the employment of his hacks for other than church purposes, then plaintiff is entitled to a verdict, and the damage must not be lim ited to the mere loss of custom entailed, but to all losses which have occurred therefrom. The Jury evidently thought from the evidence given on the trial that the plaintiff’s business had been seriously injured by undue and unwarranted interference on the part of the defendant, who had forbidden his communicants to patronize the plaintiff’s hacks under any circumstances, and hence they brought in a verdict for Parker for 13,433.

Why He Stole.

J He had a wife.His 8aUry was twenty-five hundred

ollars per annum.But she complained.She wanted a better house,Better clothes;Nothing fit to go out in;No country cottage,Nor carriage,Nor front pews,Nor society.She coveted a place on the ragged

edge of the select five hundred.She kept it up Night and day,And moaned and Groaned and Growled andWept.He lacked style, also,

sixAs well as new clothes every weeks, and various other things.

He knew how his employer made several hundreds daily on the street.

A thousand or so would not be missed for a few hours;

So he took it, went upon the street and won.

She got her sealskin.He took more and lost.More to get that back and lost.More yet.Defalcation discovered.He wears the penitentiary check.Others are going to.Beware.But if you win regularly, society

won’t be hard on you.But if yon lose, society will sit down

on you.Beware.Better is a modest room up two pair

of back stairs than a cell in tne Tombs.And a plain woolen jacket ratherthan

a pair of prison uniform pants on poor Charlie’s legs.—N. Y. Graphic.

DRY GOODS.Mir:

Indian corn was first grown by European* in this country at the James riversettlement in Virginia, in 1600. In 1609 more than forty acres were grown by the Virginia planters.

Farmlands in De Witt Qo., 111., that oould have been bought for $20 and $36 an acre recently, are now held at $80 to |45, transaction* having been made at the high figure.

Cattle thieves are numerous in McLeod and Meeker counties, Minn. Over forty head had been stolen recently, and almost every day some one oomes to Minneapolis looking for stray bo vines.

The stock of lard in the country, is esti* mated at 290,000 to 279,000 tierce*—largely in excess of the supply on hand one year ago. The stock of other kinds of product is considered smaller than one year ago.

Last year over thirty thousand barrels of apples were shipped from Clyde, N. V., to Eastern markets. It is very doubtful wheather three thousand barrels can be secured for shipment this year in that village.

Hog cholera in a strange and most malignant form has broken out among the swine of farmere in the vicinity of Ocono- mo woe, Wis. One large stock raiser in Summit, lost nearly one hundred fine hogs in less than two weeks by means of the epidemic, $nd farmers generally, are frightened at the prospect.

Only 170 head of live catt'e were exported from New York to foreign markets last week. The export trade has been overdone and the cattle marketed in Liverpool since June last have lost “brls" of money for the shipper. A “boom” is needed in this branch of the business. '

In all accounts the fairs lately held in nearly every pan of the country, there sire few things more remarkable than< the rapid

T h e trade has been a prosporous one as far us the ranchm en are concerned; a few outside speculators m ay have lo st m oney, but raisers and ow ners seem satisfied with the season ’s business.

T h e ground w here Cornw allis actually handed over his sw ord to W ashington w as for m any years marked by four tali poplar trees, but these were cu t dow n for fire wood in the late war, not, how ever, w ithout the precaution beiDg taken to plunt a peach sapling in their place, and this lias now grown up, and stands all a lone in a w ide m eadow.

T h e C alifornia H orticulturist recom m ends ttie fo llow in g m ode o f keeping grapes: Spread the carefu lly cut fruit thinly on sh e lv es or tables for a few d ays, to dry up the stem s a little . Then cut clean , dry rye si raw in a straw -cutter about an inch lon g, and cover liberally the bottom o f a su itable tigh tly jointed box, on w hich place a m oderate layer o f fruit; then cover w ith the cut-straw liberally and lay on fruit again , aud thus proceed.
