BELMONT FAIR.

From the numbers in attendance last
Thursday and Friday, it is evident that
there is a greatly increased interest taken
in the Society. We are rejoiced at this,
and hope it will be the means of creating
a laudable ambition to excel, in every
branch Of farming and mechanism. We
think there we're not less than two thousand
persons in attendance (many place it at
four thousand,) and a very respectable
proportion were ladies. The articles on
exhibition were very good, and speak well
for the industry and enterprise of our
county. A condensed report of the pro.
~ceedings is given in another column, to
which we refer our readers. We hope with
each returning fair 10 witness a still great.
er interest among our people, and that the
committee on the Tent will be able to get
one, SO that all hands may have room for
the exhibition, without being s,ihed in the
crowd.-CAronicle.

A WOUND.

The workmen OH The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad opened an Indian mound on
Saturday last, OH the farm Off. M'Mechen,
Esq. The mound was about 70 feet in
diameter and II feet high. Nearly on "a
level with the surrounding earth were found
an altar OF stone, evincing the action OF
the fire, west Of north Of the altar the head
and body OF an Indian extending west OF
north, at Il slight declination from the head
to the feet. This. body was covered to the
depth Of foot or more with ashes in which
the salt was still manifest to the taste, as
we are told. The body was remarkably
perfect. and was mostly preserved. A.
round this body was twelve Others with
their heads centering toward it, and feet
projecting. No articles of art were found
except a polished stone tube about twelve
inches in length Wheeling Gazenee.

roc GOOD TO BE s

A friend Of ours relates the following
story, which is a good one:
"a traveller, whom we afterwards knew
once arrived at a village inn. after a hard
days travel, and being very tired, request.
ed a room TO sleep in; but the landlord
said they were entirely full. and it was vi.
terly impossible to accommodate him
that his wife had to sleep on the sofa, and
himself on the floor; but he would see wha'
his wife could do for him. The good
woman, on being applied TO, said tina
there was a room which he might occupy
provided that he would agree to the con.
ditions, viz: to enter the room late, in the
dark, and leave it early in the morning. ia
prevent scandal, as the room was occupi.
ed by a lady. This he agreed to. AbouI
two O'Clock that night. an awful noise was
heard in the house, and our friend the
traveller, was found tumbling heels over
head down stairs. On our landlords ar.
irving at the spot, and inquiring what the
matter was. the traveller CALCULATED. as soon
as he was able to speak, "Oh Lord. The
'ooman's deadi" 81 know that" said the
landlord, '.bnt how did yoa find it ou,?'

HOGS.

PROSPECTS OF H COMING SEASON, pRI
cEs, &c.--The prices of hogs in the Yves
have lately advanced, and, as we hav'
heretofore stated, various contracts. TO
early delivery, have been made by Louis
vile packers. at prices ranging from a 2!
to 81 so net. Similar contracts have
been entered into at Madison and Cincin
natl. The Louisville Courier OF last Sat
urday has the following:
1t is pretty generally conceded that The
number of hogs for packing this season
throughout the West. will fully equal las
seasons product, and that the weight will
greatly exceed that Of las; year. At pres
ent there is but little disposition to enter
into contracts, on the part Of packers and
buyers. at quotations.
We anticipate a large increase of the
packing here this season. as compared
with last, and understand that our packers
are making the most ample arrangements
As an evidenbe of this. we state that one
packer is to receive 5000 hogs from In
dianapolis. the hogs to be forwarded by
railroad 10 Madison, and from thence to
Louisville.
AT Madison. Indiana, we hear of con-
tracts for 5000 head Of hogs at 4 40 to
"a As net. AT St. Louis a contract was
recently made for 1000 hogs to be deliv-
cred as late as the goth of February. A
packer in this city had 1000 head offered
to him at 81 cents gross, TO be delivered
within twenty-five miles of Louisville on
the railroad, which he refused.
The following is about the average of
gross and net prices Of hogs. if not driven
over 40 or so miles. As the distance in.
creases, however, the advance over the
gross price must be increased to cover
cost: Three and a quarter cents gross is
equal to S4 25 a $4 35 net. Three and
a half cents gross is equal to $4 so a
$4 rs net.
The following extract of a letter from a
highly intelligent and reliable source in
Cincinnati, will be found interesting at this
time.
From all the information we can gain in
relation TO the quality and quantity OF hogs
IN this section of country and throughout
the Great West, there appears TO be but
one opinion, viz: That the number will
be eqaal to last season. and quality far
better. also that the price at which drovers
and farmers anticipate our market will
open at, 10 be dangerous and unsafe.
Therefore, we look upon the bushes. in
The DrOSDectiyn aS disostrous IN all wbo
hold for high prices.
Hogs have been sold in our market at
a a Al cts. All of the hogs thus far con-.
for, are to be cut and cured into
bacon. Tor New Orleans market. Conse-
qucntly, we look for a decline in that city.
o after the first arrivals, caused bv
heavy shl pments. In fact. hogs are too
high, and we think the price will not be
sustained.
