tazmera of that fruitful sectioh Jiav<e
’heretofore found a market in the terri
tory towards the Gulf, in Georgia, Ala
bama and South Carolina. Southern
-millers have been and must continue to
-> be their chief customers; and the demand
trom the Cotton States, therefore, regu
lates the price of their wheat. The for
eign demand and the price in New York
do not materially concern them, because
• it oosts not less than .fifty cents a bushel
to ship wheat to New York from East
Tennessee and sell it. They look solely
to Southern millers and dealers; and the
• -crop of wheat being immeasurably larger
- in'North Georgia, North Alabama and
upper Carolina than in 1873, or even in
1872, a deadlock has ensued in the mar
ket Southern buyers are willing to pay
good prices for moderate lots delivered
'immediately, but there is absolutely no
.market, except at veiyilow figures, for
future deliveries. This state of the trade
.tndsts not only at Knoxville, hut at all

crowded with distinguished spec

The Course of True Love Again—An
Extraordinary Trial in France.
[Paris Cor. of the London Daily News.]
A highly dramatic trial has just been
concluded* before the Assize Court of
Chalonssur-Soane. The accused party,
31. Lacroix, is indicted for manslaughter.
He is the son of a retired Judge, the
owner of Senozau, the ancestral seat of
the Nozilles, where he leads the life of a
country gentleman, fond of his gun and
fishing rod. The family at Senozau
habitually consists of 31. Lacroix, 3Ime.

a retired lawyer. It was increased last

1 31. Despeyrous was engaged in his
astronomical studies the young lady se
cretly bedaqie acquinted with an attor
ney’s clerk named Bonnebaight, he having
seen her in church and fallen in love with
her. He demanded her in marriage of
her father, who refused. 3Ille. Marie,
however, continued to keep up a corres
pondence with 31. Bonnebaight and to
meet him in the garden of tiic observa
tory.
This went on for four years, at the
end of which a friend denounced her to
her relatives. She was at once sent to
Burgundy, to her grandfather's, where
before many weeks her lover presented
himself, and told her that she must elope
with him as she had promised. 3Ille.
Despevrous, who had changed her mind,
pleaded her minority; which rendered it
impossible for her to marry Bonnebaight
against the will of her father. He would
not admit this plea, and as the altercation
was going on M. Lacroix, Jr., who had
just returned from the shooting, surprised
the lovers. He called upon Bonnebaight
to give up certain letters to which he
heard him refer. An insolent refusal, was
returned, on which -M. Lacroix, carried
awayffiy his anger, presented his fowling-
pieefe at' the attorney’s clerk, and dis
charged both barrels, A slug carried avpay

himself to justice. A painful investiga

the greater part df the trial has gone on
with closed doors. 3Dle. Despeyrous

while it is equally handy for the dealers,
•to range themselves among the bears.
After carefully scanning the long reports
In the Knoxville papers, we are satisfied
.that the members of the convention con
• rider the crop of ’74, in East Tennessee,
fully twenty-five per cent, larger than
that of 1873; and while the yield per
acre is not as good as in 1872, yet the
acreage has been greatly increased. The
crop is doubtless as good as that of any
year since 1867, and the average yield per
-acre may safely be put at fifteen bushels.
The grain itself is not large, but is sound,

CREMATION.
How it is Done in Kansas.
3Iuscotah is in a fever of excitement
over a case of actual cremation that has
occurred in that vicinity. One Mr. Bald
win went to the timber south of town to
chop wood. A peculiar odor arising from
a pile of burning logs prompted him to
make investigation. He found on going
to the place a human body on the pile in a
state of cremation.. Filfed with horror
he ran to town and related what lie had
seen. In company Drs. Badger and
Riggs your correspondent repaired to the
place, about one-fourth of a mile south
west of the town. Arriving there we

is unsolved.

In the market for cotton on the spot,
there has been rather more doing on opeuing

Shippers are not in the market, and prices
will have to go, decidedly lower to induce
business from this source. In futures,
speculative demand has not been very brisk,
and at times there was a marked absence of
prominent operators, but the movement has
entirely subsided, and there is very little to
obstruct the downward tendency of prices.

by fire this evening, about nine miles east

save the most valuable part of the mail,
they both jqmped off and were after
wards picked up in a bruised cohdition.
The fire was not discovered, by those in
the forward cars until the train had ran
several miles and the car was burned
