prices not made public, but supposed to be
a. high figure. A drove of 400 head of
hogs came up on the freight train OF %. g.
p R. X. on Saturday last. They are
from the State Of Indiana, and we are in
/ formed, designed for the eastern market
This is the first arrival of hogs from the
Great West this season, and is a practical
illustration of the great utility of our railroad
| connection with the west, by which our mar
ket will not only be filed with hogs at the
earliest season desirable, but large numbers
will find their way 10 the east, through this
medium of communication. This lot was
brought through 10 Cleveland via Xenia, and
theiice through this city for their
destined market in the east. PittsDurgh,as
we have before taken occasion TO remark,
| bids fair TO become an important point for
packing hogs We are not fully advised
as to the total number of hogs purchased by
single firm in this city, but it is already
large, and will, no doubt he vastly increased
between this and killing time"
