a New York letter'wrlter relates the
following incident:
Not many weeks ago, citizen residing
up town, who was the recipient of an in.
como of about seventy dollars week,
was found to neglect his family. He fail.
ed to supply it the allowance his ample
means afforded. His wife complained
that she was not cared for, and that her
children were most grossly neglected.
She demanded an explanation. None was
given. The husband remained cold, in
corrigiblc, and evinced determination to
withhold supplies. His wife became ur-
gent, and demanded tho why and where
fore. she and her offspring were let to
starye, The husband finding himself in
a position that forbade further disguise,
plumply told her that she had out.lived
his liking. and he had resolved to quit her
and take another to his embrace.
And then you mean to abandon me, ("
said the wife, "and live with another wo-
man gu
~ do" was the laconic reply.
And you mean to quit my children,
too?"
=" Certainly, even So"
And do you think that this will be
right ?"
al do"
"Hsve l ever proved faithless ?"
"No."
Have l not proved myself frugal,
faithful and loving wife ?"
Yes"
"Why then do you wish to leave mc?"
Because love another woman bet

Is she married. or single ?"

And what do you intend to do with

"You do 2"
eyes, l do"

ply it in this way ?"
TO be sure do"
"Well, l shall sec -
"And so will l."
The dialogue concluded, the wife bit
her thumb, and left her recreant husband.
The next day she called on her friends,
told her story, aud it was agreed that the
husband should be induced to go up the
river, to take her back to her father. To
TINS proposition. he gladly assented. The
husband and wife departed. They had
not proceeded fifty miles before they came
n contact with lunatic asylum. The
vile said she wished to look in a few mo-
nents to see a demented friend. This
vas readily agreed to. The husband had |

GRAlN-Uheut.-The ice in the river and har-
Dor has prevented the arrival of vessels loaded
with Grain, which are known to be waiting for
the opening. After the vessels now in the river
reach the wharves, it is probable that the receipts
will be very light for several weeks to come. The
receipts of Wheat this week have been entirely
by wagons and railroads Good to prime parcels
Of red bring S5a9o or 80 cts.
Corn-No receipts, and not much demand
White Corn, if here would probably bring "a cts.
and yellow 55a56 cents.
Oats-No sales making of Maryland OATS
They are quoted at 33a36 cts. A lot of Pennsyl-
vana sold at sc cents.

dull this week, small sales only of Maryland being
made at former quotations, to wit:

REVIEW OF THE BALTIMORE TOBACCO
MARKET FOR 1851.

The very great fiuctuation in price to which the
market has been subjected during the past year
renders notice of it of some interest. At the
commencement of 1851, the market ruled fifty per
cent higher than at the first of the year, lS5U.-
The advance, which was mostly in the last three
months Of 1850, was produced in part by the de-
mand for home consumption-the high price of
Western Tobacco (Which is mostly consumed in this
country having forced the manufacturers to take
the lower grades of Maryland. Speculative ope-
rations also commenced, predicated on the
short crop of 1850, the reduced stocks in State
Warehouses, the supposed short stocks in Europe,
and the advance in the English market. The
markets of Germany and Holland had not, hoWev-
er, advanced sufficiently to induce our regular ship
pers to pay the current rates, and they consequent
ly mostly retired from the market and lett the
field very much to the spectators and purchasers
for home consumption. In January, 1851, the
prices ranged from Sc to ST. for the low grades,
and 81 60a9 for the better kinds but the demand
was mostly for the lowest price article, without re-
gard to quality, and the advance was consequently
greater on the lower grades.
About the lst of February some 1900 hhds. were
taken for Spain, at full rates, averaging about
81. so. During the balance of the month the mar
| ket was quiet, as was also the in March,
when Spectators retired from the market /; the
demand for home consumption had largely fallen
off, and shippers were still deferred by the high
prices.
80
freely but the absence of the usual French orders
compelled planters agents to accede to the views
of shippers in order to effect sales, and the mar
ket opened at 81 80 to $3.50 for the low grades,
and Sc to So for the better qualities and these
rates were continued until about the last OF June,
when, owing to the prolonged dry weather, the
prospects of planting the crop became very gloomy,
and many of the planters ordered theiL agents to
withdraw their samples from market. This caus-
ed holders to be more firm, and an advance took
place which shippers seemed disposed to accede
10. and the market continued firm until the middle
of August, when prices began to recede in conse-
quence of the frequent showers In the latter part
of July and up to that time, which enabled plant
ers, though late, to put in partial crops. Pros
poets thus becoming more flatterng- for the grow
ing crop, prices gradually settled down to the
present rates, viz $50 to 81 for common, and
a. so to Sc and 81 for the better kinds and quail
ties.
,, In November the Ground Leaf of the new crop
appeared, and sold at 81 50 to 80; but on the in
crease of receipts the prices gave way about 81
cents per 100 lbs, and continued steady all De-
cember.
The crop of Maryland Tobacco grown in 1851 is
: estimated at about 81 900 hhds.
, The crop of Ohio Tobacco grown in 1850 turned
out to be the most inferior one that has been re-
ceiyed from that State for many years. All the
