The New-York Express says that the high
price of beef, veal, mutton, butter potatoes, and
other such necessaries of lite, not only in that
great metropolis, but in other cities on the Allan
tic, indicates something wrong in the mode of pro-
viding for the markets, the forwarding of things
to market. Be the causes of high prices, how
ever, what they may, if the causes be good, more
farmers are needed than ace hare Agriculture
prices tell us, is underdose and other things oeer-
done. There are not enough raisers.ef food prop

the Superior Court, New Y ork, during the trial
OF cause, quietly assembled the bench, and seat
ed himself near Judge Sandford, who seemed
somewhat surprised at this near approach of a
stranger. He was, however, informed who the
eccentric individual was, and viewed him with
much curiosity. Mr.. O'Connor made no remark,
but looked listlessly around the Court. and then
suddenly stood and walked out, crossing the park
to Broadway.

MflCnIGAN,a nRrnelNll

At noon, wednesday, in tho Rotunto of the
capitol, IN the presence of large assemblare of
ladies and gentlemen, the formal presentation TO
the Washington Monument Society took place of
piock OF ndnte copper contributed by the State
authorizes OF Michigan to the Monument An

rendered the beautiful present to the Monurnent

Impressive manner by Mr.. Lenox, the Mayor of
the city, speaking in behalf of the Association.

the Cliff mine of Lake Superior, belonging to,
the Plttsburg and Boston Mining Company, and
was cut from mass eighty tons of which were
exposed and since that time, we are informed
some i've hundred tons more have been laid
bare. 1t was presented for the purpose to the
state OF Michigan by the Hon. Thos. M. Howe,
OF flttsburg. The conception of the block, the
ehtlre design, and the management of the work.
are due to the Hon. Andrew Harvie, of Michigan.
who was directed by the governor of that State
to bring it on and present it. The workmanship
was wholly executed at Detroit-the squaring and

by M. George Doty. The weight of the block

IN quantity and value any thing of the kind which
the human eye ever rested upon. Rich as this

that the party of Engineers attached 10 the u S.
Coast Survey, who are now engaged in surveying
the Appomattox River, have it in contemplation
to make survey of the city. They will estab-
lish with accuracy the longitude and latitude of
some prominent point or points, and thus enable
US to obtain true meridian, which will be of the
utmost Importance in future surveys to fix definite

this vicinity, will not be surprised to learn that
our truly great fellow citizen, Judge 3. q. Bald
win, is no more. He died on yesterday morn
ing.
However long and confidently this melancholy
event may have been expected, by all acquainted
with the nature and ravages of his painful disease
it cannot be less felt by all who appreciate true
greatness, to be a stroke of no common severity
on our community and the State.
Our columns forbid a more extended notice,
and we leave to some ADLER hand the melancholy
pleasures of testifying to the many noble and ex-
cellent qualities which distinguished the deceas-
ed while living, and call forth from wide circle
of admiring friends, the most sincere expressions
ofmournful regret now that he is no more.

The CovINGToN AFFAlR.-The Covington
Qa.) Peoples Friend gives the following particu
ars in reference to the deplorable ARRAY few
days since, in which Ex-senator Hannegan was
so unfortunate as to kill his brother-in-law, Capt.
Duncan
1t appears that Capt. Duncan and E. A. Han
negan, lex U. S. Senator, who have lived on the
kifiest possible terms, (Capt. Duncan boarding
with Mr.. Hannegap for the last two years. had
been the day and evening before indulging rather
freely in the use of liquor. On the morning of
the sad occurrence, Captain Duncan went up stairs
to Mr.. Hannegans room, and an alteration en-
sued between the parties-when Capt. Duncan
gave MIR. Hannegan slap in the face; Mr.. Han
negan, upon the indignity he felt and the impuls-
of the moment, stuck Capt Duncan with knife
in the lower part of the stomach, in1ctlng Sc
we're wound, which caused the death of Captain
Duncan in thirty-six hours after, after suffering
great pain 1t is said that short time before he
died he observed that he himself was to blame
Tho deceased was the only brother Of Mrs.
Hannegan He commanded the only compan yof
mouuted rilemen from Ohio In the Mexican ware
and his bravery and courage were undoubted
No attempt had been made to arrest Mr.. Hanne,
gan, who was in state of mind bordering on in
sanity caused by his rash act Momentary pas
sion and the influence of liquor are generally
supposed to be the cause of the whole calamity.

The JENNINGS ESTATE IN ENGLANp.-Mr.
S. S. Jennings, of Mobile, claims to be the right
ful heir to the great jennings estate in England
He says that not one single link is wanting in his
of his birth, that he is the eldest male lineal de-
scendent of Charles and Mary Jennings, who
came from England and was clerk of the court of
Elizabeth city county, in the town of Hampton
Va, in 1851. His books are now in the clerks
office at Hampton, at which place 143 acres of
land were granted to them emigrants from
England. Mr.. Jennings estimates the estate to
be worth from forty to fifty millions of dollars
The real estate for the fifty two years has yielded
about $4,000 annually. Lord Howe has por-
ton of the property under his CONTROL as trustee,
for which he has given ample security.

Gen. Cass Nominated By the Spirits.-A letter
from Baltimore in the Republic, gives the fol-
lowing important political information. OF coxse,
this decides who is to be the Democratic candi-
date for President, and it would be useless for
the Convention to meet But here is the revela-
tion:-
There is delegation of the spiritual rappers"
in this city, who have been recently consulted
with regard to the deliberations of the Demo-
cratic Convention. The question was put as to
whether General Cass would or would not be
nominated-if ''no'' the table was to move for
ward an inch if Eyes," it was to move foot for
ward. The table is reported to have removed
the required twelve inches. The second question
as to whether he would be nominated on the first
ballot, was responded to by the table rising from
the floor, and the third as whether he would not
be elected President, was responded to in the af-
frmative by the table again rising and remain
ing poised in the air, strong man present being
unable TO bear it down. Thus the spiritual rap
ping politicians of New York may consider the
question as settled. This though it may read
like a joke, is related with great gravity as
having occurred at the residence of distinguish
ed Democrat of this city in Holiday street.

The summoning Of the correspondents Of three Of

a fruitful topic of discussion. The government not
only objects to the nature of the inellig gence fur

gerated but to the spirit Of the leading articles writ
ten in London. II takes the ground that these lead
ing articles are based upon the information received
from their agents in Paris, and that therefore the

in London the Minister of Police possesses no pow

the warning will have it's effect, and render thes;
gentlemen more circumspect.
The only tenable position of the Minister is that
in which he declares that alse and absurd items Of
intelligence shall not be seized upon and made the
text for abuse and Misrepresentation. He OF course
cannot expect to control the pens OF the editors at
