VAN SLT^E, Editor. fggrGreat damage from gale and flood, is reported at Galvelton, Texas. ~ The Island on which the city stands Was completely overflowed by the . Water, and great destruction to build­ ings and other property is reported. "A. McLaughlin has resigned the Secretaryship of the Illinois liailroad •«and Warelionse Commission, The rea­ son assigned is.the inadequacy of salary, •1 .500. We presume there will be something of a scramble for the posi­ tion thus made vncniit. "In. the case of Westervclt. Wh)>' bas been on trial at Phildelphia for the 5>ast week, under an indictment for complicity in the Charley Ross abduc­ tion affair, be has been found guilty on three counts Of ^the indictment. But- the trial has failed to reveal tlie fate or "whereabouts of the lost boy. The death of Judge Woodruff of the United States Circuit Court of New York is announced. He has been ill forsome time, and his deatli was not unexpected. Judge Woodruff was a | v man of superior abili ty, and his deci­ sions on important cases were seldom reversed. . l^^SeHs' Circus '"Ballooned*' a man to his death at Jackson Michigan the other day.

The whole thing grew out of a quarrel between two white men and two red men, the former as usual proving "very uncer­ tain." They broke their word, one was killed, then two Indians were killed, and then there was a spread of the news of the slaughter, and then an excitement ahdjuprisihg of the Indians, «®n a misunderstanding of the several occurrences. After all the facts be­ came known, the excitement subsided, and order and peaee are being restored. J®" The New York Times presents & report in^letail of the prospects for the fall trade, as regarded by those employed in various branches in the city. The expressions of -merchants are quite encouraging. They report a good deal of caution in buying, but there is a good deal buying, neverthe­ less, and the merchants from the interi­ or report that^tocks--which "were very heaary two years since down and must-be replenished. Is is quite certain, also, that the business that is now going on is upon a more conservative and a sounder basis than that which has prevailed in several years. WOODSTOCK. . Xfcrroit PLMXDEALER:--Everything Irt the Fair Grounds is in apple-pie or. der. The track, always a good one, was never in as perfect a condition as now, and the sporting fraternity need have wo misgivings about bringing on their horses. The Societies having the Din­ ing Hall this year have ready a build­ ing large enough to seat a regiment of tramps, and as their begging commit­ tees-have canvassed all tli® approaches to Woodstock, their garner will be equal to the demand. Of course every­ body will come and bring his wife, and I take'the liberty to assure all upon the honor of the Sen tinel's imported poet that Should, they start before breakfast, forgetting it until dinner time, there will be enough on the tables so tli^t they can get a dinner ample enough to forget their supper when they get home So you sec it will be cheaper going to the Fair than staying away, besides it can be done so much quicker. No mas­ ter what the croakers r^ay say," tlie fanners are coming to tlie Fair. The late severe rains have,done much damage to the grain and hay stacks, not "to mention the hay spoilt in the cock. Some stacks of unbound oats have rot-' ted so as to be worthless, and others threshed their grain when it was so wet that the water dripped from the bun­ dles. A queer season,in which the rain makes a good crop ind then spoils it after harvest. The late meeting of the County Board decided to show no partiality in the matter of blinds in the Court House, so tlie old curtains must come down for the last time. The contract is not yet let. L.

Noble & Co. have the platform of the Factory covered with boxfs and hogsheads of pickle jars of all sorts and sizes, which is evidence that tiwL frost v.. ̂ cannot stop operations there. The glass comes from Pittsburg.

They are Hellish. The first is written July 3, and the last. September C>. 1874. They are evidently the production of an in­ telligent writer who intentionally dis­ torts IKS orthography and forms of ex­ pression. This sentence which occurs in nearly every one of them is a fair illustration of their brutality. '"Ross, if yunever want yu child restored to vu alive yu have got to act-with us alone." To the disgrace of the detective forces, of tlie two largest cities in the country, the assertions of these devils have tlms far proven strictly true as regards their ability to conceal the young man, and the whole a fair, more than a year after the committal of the deed is as much of a mystery as .Ju­ nius.
