have no remedy for the universal complaint
that prices are monstrously high, and they

LIGHT FLoyR.-The Dayton Gazette has
been informed by commission merchants OF
that place, that considerable loss has been
suffered this Spring on -four shipped from the
Miami Valley to New Orleans, in cOnse-
quence of light weight. Several lots have
been returned within the past few days,
which fall from one to two pounds below the
legal standard of weight. A deduction of
twenty five cents is made on each barrel thus
deficient, and as the loss falls upon the man
ufacturer, greater care would seem to be
necessary on the part of millers, in this mat
ter, than they are accustomed to exercise.
1t is an expensive business to keep pound
of -four of each barrel they pack, aud have to
pay for it at therat of 40 barrel.

A General Muss.--This afternoon d party
of the laborers upon the railroad called at the
Brewery for some beer, which was refused
them. An attack was then commenced up
on the persons employed in the establish
ment, and general ''muss" was the conse-
quence. Clubs were used freely and scvera!
Of the party were severely injured. Mr.
link, one Of the proprietors, had his head
badly cut. Charles link was severely bruis-
ed in the left eye, and two or three others Of
the hands were also more or less injured.
One of them was thrown into the cellar. Oh
the attacking party, several exhibited the
marks of the encounter. At length, Mr.
link took his gun in hand and threatened to
shoot, when the party left. We are not adj
vised as to what words passed between the
parties before the fight commenced; bu, we
suppose general examination will be had
before the proper authorities. No arrests
have as yet been made. 1t is said that there
were some ten or twelve engaged in the
