HoGs.-Prices and Prospects Of the NeW Crop
The Cincinnati Price Currents report hogs in every
region Of Kentucky and Indiana largaly increas-
ing in numbers and of better quality, and adds
We hear but little from Illinois, Iowa and Mis-
souri, but considering the scarcity Of last season. it
is than probable there will be increase rath
er than falling off as we seldom have two seasons
Of sceareity together.
Throughout Ohio we learn that more young hogs
are being fed than usual, and in many sections an
increase of third is anticipated The high price
Of pork has caused the farmers throughout the West
to bestow much care and attention upon their pigs
they do upon their children. Throughout many
sections of the South the planters making strong
endeavors to "grow their meat"
We hear of contracts by the packers for the future
delivery Of 10000 hogs, be fttened in Indi-
ana at Sand 81 cents, gross Several thousand have
been engaged by Madison packers for the next sea-
son, at and 4leents net. We hear also Of various
contracts in Kentucky, at and b cents gross, be
delivered when fattened, in the fall sale of 1000
head has been made, delivered here at Al cents. One
of our principal provision dealers and packers sold
100 barrels of mess pork on Monday, to be made of
the next crop and TO be delivered in June 1852, at
Slj per barrel which is So per barrel less than the
present prices.
The above we believe to be an accurate and impair
ta statement Of the present condition of the forth
coming hog crop, and we leave the reader to draw
his conclusions in regard to the prospect of the
next season.

A,tction Of Ladies.-An auction of unmar-
ried ladies used to take place annually in Baby
Ion. '1n every district" says the historian,
0they assembled on certain day of every year,
ali the virgins of marriagable age The most
beautiful were first put up, and the man who
bid the largest sum of money gained possession
of her. The second in personal appearance fol-
lowed, and the bidders gratifed themselves with
handsome wives, according to the depth of their
purses. But alas! it seems there were in Baby
lon some ladies for whom no money was likely
to be offered; yet these were also disposed OF, so
provident were the Babylonians. ''When all the
beautiful virgins" says the historian, "were sold
the crier ordered the most deformed to stand up;
and after he had openly demanded who would
marry her with small sum, she was at length
adiudged to the man who would be satisfied with
the least; in this manner the money arising
from the sale of the handsome, served as por-
tion to- those who were either of disagreeable
looks, or that had any other imperfection. This
custom prevailed about five hundred years be-
fore Christ"

ting the whole earth, cannot be dimmed. And
yet few newspapers in this country can live and
become strong without devoting a portion of
their columns to advertisements. The rate of
newspapers is so low among us, that the mere
subscription price, without some other aid, will
not sustain them. The ablest, most influential
papers in this country are those that are enabled
by yielding portion of their columns to adver-
tisements, TO put a quota of the income from
that source On to the paper itself FORTS improve
ment-devoting that expense to it which its
mere subscription price viii not justify.
The writer's observation in this respect has
been of long continuance, and the fact has COM
mended itself to him very many times in the last
twenty years, in the rise and fall of newspapers.

the guardian of our liberties-addressing itself
