contracts at $3.50 per 100 lbs. net. The butchers
paying $2.10, gross for Corn fed and $3.50 for

From Louisville (Ky.) paper.
Hogs--It seems 10 be admitted fact that the
stock of hogs in the country is large and that their
condition lowing TO abundant CROP will be
very fine. We understand that large purchases
made last week in Shelby county for this mar.
ket, at $3.50 gross. Purchases for the Cincinnati
market have ranged Indiana and taken largely at
2.50a $275 gross. The prices we regard under the
present aspect Of the foreign news, as very full.
Some Of our most experienced packers have not yet
entered the market regarding prices too high pru-
dent investment From the note of preparation it is
probable that a larger number will be packed here
the present than there was last season. The
houses engaged in this business command an unlimit-
ed capital for any prudent operation. Drovers and
farmers may be assured of this fact and that every
facility will be afforded such TO make this market
their choice.

ROSTON AS SHE Is.

Besides every other property and qualification
which Boston recently possessed to attract attention
and residence, she has added that of a pow
erful Water communication, far out doing the Croton
affair in New York. The water was let into the
city 24th ult.
THE EXPENSE AND CAPACITY OF THE WATER WORKS.
The Boston Times says: The expense origin
ally calculated at s 100000. Drafts for the work
have thus far exceeded three millions OF dollars, and
farther expense will doubtless be incurred.
Besides the aqueduct ITSELF the great features Of
this enterprise the Beacon Hill Reservoir in
Boston; the Reservoir on Dorchester Heights, South
Boston; the great Reservoir and Gate House on CO.
reys Hill in Brookline, from which the water OF the
Lake is brought 10 the street mains and reservoir IN
Boston in two iron pipes thirty -four inches in diam
eter, and extending neary four miles, and which
capable of delivering daily three millions Of gal
Ions Of water; the Charles River Bridge at Ncwtown
Lower Falls, which is built on three arches; the
Pipe Chamber in the vicinity, and the Road Bridge,
which is built on single arch, and said BY all to be
most splendid piece oil masonry the w astc Wicr,
four miles beyond the Lower Falls, where the aquc
duct passes over considerable stream; and finally
the Gate House, granite edilce at the Lake itself.
The Reservoir on Beacon Hill covers area OF
10000 square feet and will hold 100000 of gallons
of water. The level will be g. feet above the level
OF the floor Of the State House. This Reservoir,
which will throw jet Of water to great height, is
intended for reserve fountain, in of any acct
dent TO the great pipcs-Thc Reservoir Dorchcs-
ter Nights contains of 900 feet and is capa
bic of delivering 900, 900 of gallons per day. This
is also intended for a reserved fountain and the two
Reservoirs together will dispense 900, 900 of gallons
of water day. This quantity, has well been said,
will supply more than 10 gallons day for five days
| TO every man, woman and child in the city.
The fall of the water from the Reservoir in Brook
line is two feet to the mile and the level Of the
servor is consequently eight feet higher than that of
the great reservoir in Boston, This
thirty acres and the water will be in places 20
feet deep and will average 10 feet deep, thereby
shutting perfect safe guard for the city if any acct
dent happens to the conduit above. And again. the
great reserve fund Of all-LaSe Cochtuate-covcrs
surface Of 659 acres and drains surface of | 400
acres, being in some places from 10 to 50 feet in
depth.
