A GRAVE JOKE.

We learn from the Trenton Gazette,
that some time ago the body of a child
was found in the canal, at New Bruins
wick. No Coroner being near, Esquire
Rooney was called on to hold an inquest
upon the body, having duly summoned a
jury of twelve good and lawful men, ac-
colding to the form of the statute in such
case made and provided. The body was
Ilvld and partially decayed; the jury soon
found verdict Of death from drowning,
and tho body was buried.--The county
OF Somerset paid the expense Of the in
quest and the burial. A ehort time after
wards it was discovered that this inquest
had been held on 4 monkey, which had
been lying on the bank Of The canal for
some time, and been thrown into the wa
ter "a few days before it was discovered.
The jurors have been tormented ever
since foI their gave inquest on dead
monkey. One Of them declares that 'il
it was monkey, his tail was cut off NIGH
ty close.'

UNEXPECTED REPLY.

The minister of a certain parish returri-
ing from church, where he had been doing
duty, found an old woman, one of his
parishioners, lying on the ground drunk.
"Ah ! Nell, is that you," exclaimed the
good man, "do you know where drum

ed Mi, ";Eey go where a drap of good

BORROWING BABIES.

Borrowing babies, says Boston Jour
nal, is not SO rare as Mrs. Clavers scenes
to imagine. In house no! hundred
miles from S--st., boarded u gen.
llemam and his wife, who were the own
ers Of a beautiful child of about year
old, which attracted so much attention
from the neighbors, that the young ladies
frequently sent to "borrow the ba bly,"
After being obliged to send for the child
several times, Mr.--, on coming
home to dinner, got out of temper, at find
ing it gone as usual-"IIere jane" said
he, ''go over to the Misses and
get the baby; and give them my compli-
ments, and tell them | 1cish they'd get a
BABY Of their opn, and no! be obliged to
b0rron.n

THE THIRD WEEK OF THE
SESSION


Has passed away, and, so far as con-
Germs action on the popular branch of Con-
gress, the business of the Session is pretty
much where it was at the close of the sec
ond week; that is to say, its progress con-
tinues to be entirely DISTRACTED by the De-
bate which supervened proposition for
disposing of so much of the Presidents
Message as relates to the Customs and to
Manufactures. As long as that debate
continues, there is no such thing as edging
in proposition about any thing else, I'M
less by consent of two-thirds of the men,
bers present. We made up our minds
from the beginning of the second week of
the session that no important business
would be consummated in Congress until
after New Years Day; and, there being
no apparent slackening of the debate in
the House upon things in general and the
Tariff in particular, and the one-hour rule
of debate being at present suspended, we
do not know that the pending debate will
terminate even with the end of the year.
The debate, however, is far from being
altogether Improbable. At some time or
other, opportunity ought to be allowed to
every Member who desires it to present
to his fellow-members his views, and those
of his immediate constituents, in reference
TO the Tariff question, and also as to things
in general; and all the time consumed in

JOHN HARVEY,
A @. THOMSON.

Mr.. THO. JACKSON moved that the report be laid on
the table.
Mr.. FISK called for the reading of the report which
was done-and concurred in by the meeting.
Mr.. JACKSON then moved that the chair appoint five
Tobacco Planters committee to make a report in
reference to the object of the meetingaccordingly
the following gentleman were appointed: James Har-
den, Thomas Jackson, Judge Bolts, John Bunduranb
and Judge Buster. And, on motion, Rev. Mr. Dun
cam Capt. Daniel Lay, and the secretary were added
TO the committee.
The committee retired for a short time, during
which, Mr. Fisk entertained the meeting with an elo-
quent address) The committee returned with
verbal report: That inasmuch this was an adjourned
meeting from the held at Seven Mile Prairie, and
but few Of those composing that meeting were pres
at this; that, this purported to be meeting of
he Planters of Howard Randolph, and Charlton
when in fact but few from other counties than How
ard were in attendance; and that the subject upon
which they were called TO act was one that deeply
affected the interests of the Planters of the whole
Boop's Lick county, thew of opinion that all
further proceedings should he deferred to a subse-
quent day, when larger meeting Of the Planters
could be held, and general expression of their
views could be had.
The report concurred in b. the meeting; and
the first Monday in February fixed upon for another
meeting.
Mr.. JACKSON then called upon for an address,
and he responded to the call by entertaining the meet
ing, for short time, in very satisfactory
urging in his forcibc style, the importance of an ex
tensive cultivation of Tobacco and Hemp; and above
all the necessity of adopting somemode of securing
a just and fair price for the former article
The meeting then adjourned

To the Editors of the Times /:

GENrLEMEN-In the Republican Of the LIST OIL
January, | see an article headed "The Tobacco
Trade Growers, StemnerS, &C." From the
remarks Of that paper it is evident that either
the editors, or the planters, in their meeting at
Seven Mile Prairie, are egregiously deceived;
and as one OF said meeting, should like for the
public to know which it is. But before going
further, | will remark that it was not the wish Of
that meeting, or Of any individual member OF it,,
so far as | know or believe, that our traders
should lose in the transaction, but on the contra
ry would wish them 10 make a fair profit for it
is the interest Of the planter and the whole com.
munity that our traders should prosper-but not
at the sacrifice Of the planter.
The Republican has not controverted the pri.
ces set forth at the meeting at Seven Mile Prairie.
The prices, stock on hand, &C., were obtained
from the New Orleans Prices Current, of the
Goth November, 1871, which, with all due def
erenee to the opinions Of the Republican, must
think is much better authority than letters from
from one trader or Spectator to another; besides,
these letters are getting to be old traps, and have
been handed about and shown by our traders for
several years about the time our crops are ready
for markets, stating to them to 'be cautious, the
stocks are heavy, and prices must come down
you cannot afford to give more than 2 or SO
SO per hundred" yet we see them make fortunes
every year. As | before said, | wish them to
make fair and reasonable profit for their labour
and risk, and if they cannot afford to pay the
farmer fair price for his labor, let him, if he
has good crop, prize and lay it up until it will
pay him fair price: at the same time hope
that our traders will not give higher than the for
eign markets will justify, as should feel sorry to
hear of any Of them sinking money. And here
let me remark to the editorial corps generally,
that think they are remiss in their duties to the
farmers in this section of the country there is
scarcely an arrival from Europe but the state oil
the market and prices Of cotton are given. Do
not understand me as complaining at ths--for
although the farmers in this section Of the coun.
try are not so much interested in the price of that
article as tobacco, think if they would give the
state Of the market and prices Of both staples,
they would have many more subscribers among
the farming community.
| will now return to the meeting at Seven
Mile Prairie. have before said that the prices
&C., stated and Sc: forth in that meeting were
taken from the New Orleans Prices Current
The prices in Europe are always given in pence
on the 22d October, 1871, the prices in Liver
pool ranged from to 81 pence, and in London
on the goth Of October from to 81 pence.

You will see the estimate does not state whe-

took it for granted, suppose, that it referred to
hogsheads, but the editors Of the Republican
may estimate it in pounds, and if SO, the sur,

be 4o,500 pounds; then might we not trium-
