MUIR OF ORD MA.RIEET.—The first market of the

season was held on Wednesday and Thursday last, and was
bat thinly attended. The stock brought forward was much
less than that exhibited at the April market of last year, and
was also inferior in condition, which must be attributed to
the severity of the winter, the partial failure of the turnip
crop, and the scarcity of keep. The demand upon the whole
was steady, and fair prices were obtained. Crosses in general
may be considered about 19 per cent. below the prices of last
year, and Highland cattle much the same. A good. deal_e
. of
business was done in the latter description, but a consulerabl_
number were left unsold. Mr. Trotter, Gargustown, got
Fettis9.

Per head for his two yr old crosses ; a lot of 25 from
Farm, fetched Si. ; Mr. Macdonald, Neilstown. near Cromarty,
sold his lot at 19!.10s. ; Mr.Dickson,Keppoeh'sCrosses realised

and Mr. Rose, Drynie, a lot at 71. 10s.
and
three rears old
highland cattle—
two years old—fetched from Si. . to 1.0
from 61. to 9!. 10s. A very superior l t of Highland heifers
fetched 11/. There were a few lots of Cheviot and black-
facedsale.
llfr. Laidlaw, Con-
tin,Kirkton, at 18s.,
hogs, which met with a dull Mr.
Rose,
bought a lot of cheviots from
and another lot was sold to Lord Ward at 215., which were
the two principal
in the market. Mr. Duncan, Cro-
many Mains, sold
2o
200
half Leicester hogs to Mr. Morro, of
Allan, at 225. The blackfaeebogs
d met with rather a dull
sale. Mr. Dickson, Keppoch, sold his lot at 11/. Most of
the sheep were, however, left unsold. As the weather seems
now settled, and the prospects of keep rapidly advancing,
we expect that the condition of the stock will be much im-
proved, and anticipate a considerable rise in price by next
market.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
DROITIVICII—INTERESTING DISCOVERY.--A large
portion of a very fine tessellated or mosaic pavement, found
about eighteen inches deep beneath the surface of Bay's
Meadow, near the town of Droitwieh, in the Kidderminster
part of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway,
near where it is joined by the Stoke Prior branch, has been
presented to the Worcestershire Natural History Society, 19Y
Mr. M'Caul, the engineer, Mr. Tredwell, the contractor, and
the Rev. Mr. Lea, through the hands of Mr. Jabez AllieF,
who attended at the spot, on the 3d instant, and assisted in
removing the interesting relic. The pavement is about three
yards long by two and a half wide, and about one-fourth o
it has been already brought to the museum. This 1
pave-
ment not improbably belonged to a Roman residence, and I
so it is an interesting historical fact in connexion with the
. hard
ancnt Salina. Another detached fragment was found
by OA vote— WorcasnA:ro• OrPsiciek
