Increaae In number

increaSe IN number 4Sl, ,425
Thus very large increase is shown over
the business Of last year: but this excess is
reduced somewhat by the falling of in
weight. Upon the latter point our CORES
pondents have generally advised US with
great degree Of precision; and we are, there
fore, able to arrive at very nearly the actual
result. At the heavy packing points there
is greater proportionate falling of than at
the smaller places. This ia accounted for
in part by the fact that in many instances
contracts were filled by the delivery Of small
Hogs, and then, towards the close Of the sea-
son, prices having continued high, large
number Of Hogs, that would in ordinary
years have been kept over, were sold off,
We find, therefore. that while In some in
stances weights fall of ~ to IS per cent, in
others there is no decrease; but by putting
oil together, the average decrease is shown
To be about ten pounds to the Hog, or FIVE
per cent. This decrease, on the aggregate
number Of Hogs given above, is equal to
100000 head: and, therefore, reduces the ex-
cess to 35l ,425 head.
In order to show the extent of the crops in
both years as clearly as possible, we reduce
the whole 10 pounds, and in doing so we es-
innate last years average at 20S pounds ,and
this years at 1913 pounds to the Hog, which
figures are, perhaps, not far from the actual
average; but as we bave made the difference.
ten pounds 10 the Hog, the result will show
correct comparison:
Crop of 1928. in lbs 4O4,7l2,9oo
Crop of l85l-'62, in lbs S25,Ol6,64o

"LoOK TO THE SESATE"'--SOmeIime since
we called the attention Of the public 10 the
fact that a resolution had been adupted in
the Ohio Senate calling upon the Auditor
Of State Tor information as 10 the terms, Of
the contract, under hich ALHREDl'. Ed
GERToS officiates as the agent Of the Fund
Commissioners in the city Of New York for
the transfer Of the public bonds, and the
payment Of the annual interest upon the
foreign public debt, and that although more
than six weeks had elapsed since the ndop-
ton OF the resolution, it had then met with
no response from the dgRitary to whom il
wHs directed.
Shortly after the appearance Of our article,
Dir. PARDEK again brought forward similar
resol luton, requiring that official to report
the desired information J0rttpih and nitlou.

cal friends largely preponderated, he was de-
servedly rebuked BY its prompt and unani-
nous adoption.
Another month has gone by, and the Leg
islature approached to " Thin the ninth day
Of its final adjournment, and yet that en-
phatic and reiterated demand OF the PeOpLe's
Representatives. is still treated with the pro-
loundest igDoDiny and contempt. Let the
PEOPLE, therefore, know that the Auditor Of
the State has insol 'ntlv placed himself a.

answer 10 the united voice Of their Repre-
tatiyes, calling for information upon a sub.

vital lnteTest--the management Of their f.
nanees he designs to make no replication.
Carrying out the conspiracy that the s-
lence Of the auditor reveals, bill has been
introduced into the Senate, and there read
the second time, making appropriations fur
the expenses Of the current wear, and ap-
propriating to the New York gency no less
sum than FIVE THnUsAED DOLLARS!
Now, we demand to know the items Of
that appropriation. We drnand TO know
what public exigence has run up that expeH
diture TO this comparatively enormous a.
mount. We know of none. We believe
that none exists, and we warn the people OF
Ohio that bold effort is being made, the ef-
feet OF which is TO plumber the State treasury
and TO lavish the hard earnings Of the peo-
pies foil upon the retsiners Of a corrupt
political party. To the Legislature we sny,
beware! The people have grown tired Of
peculation and Of theft. They want no more
DIcKIEsoHs-they want no more MEDARYs
they want no more YoATzEs-they want
no more MULRISEs. They expect economy
in the public expenditures, end they expect
to know the objects to which their money is
applied. Disappoint that expectation If you
dare.
Let us have more light.-O. 8. JoUrnd.

DOMESTIC HABITS OF OUR ANcEsgoRs.-Eras-
mus, who visited England in the early part of the
sixteenth century, gives curious description OF
an English interior of the better class. The fur
nture was rough; the walls upholstered but some
times wainscotted or hung with tapestry; and the
floors covered with rushes, which were not chan
ged for months. The dogs and cats had free ac-
cess to the eating rooms, and fragments of meat
and bones were thrown to them, which they de-
voured among the rushes, leaving what they could
not eat to rot there, with the draining of beer YES
sells and all manner of unmentionable abomina-
tions. There was nothing like refinement or ele-
gance in the luxury of the higher ranks; the in
dulcence which their wealth permitted consisted
in rough and wasteful profusion. Salt beef and
strong ale constituted the principal part of Queen
Elizabeth s breakfast, and similar refreshments
were served to her in bed for supper. At a series
Of entertainments given in York by the nobility
in 1000, where each exhausted his invention to
outdo the others, it was universally admitted that
Lord Goring won the palm for the magnifcence
of his fancy The description of this supper will
give us good idea of what was then thought
it consisted of four brawny pigs pip
ing hot, bitted and harnessed with ropes of sau-
sages to huge pudding in bag, which served
for chariot.

A practice possessing some merit is coming into
vogue in New Orleans. 1t is the building of
large and elegant verandahs in front of the second
stories of buildings, as to cover the whole
breadth of the sidewalk, and protect pedestrians
from the sun and rain making cool and COM
Portable promenade. When placed over stores
they have the advantage ofsaving the cost of avn
ings, and answer the same purpose more effec-
lively, though rendering the store rather darker.
An effort somewhat similar was attempted in
London some years back, when the Quadrant
was erected, but in that the houses were
built over the sidewalk, leaving the basement
open for the pavement range of huted columns
near tho curbstone, supported the outer wall.
They are used for stores, but the latter are
thought to be too dark. The New Orleans dea
is an improvement on this plan, which would al

UNCERTAIN PRoPERry.--Twog gentlemen in one
of the Southern States owned slave together.
He was valuable servant; smart, industrious,
and withal a genuine darkee. One of the own
ers becoming straitened in circumstances, was
obliged to sell his share in Tom. He was accord
ingly set up at auction; and after some attempt
to sell him, Tom made bid on his own hook,
and the auctioneer knocked him off (or rather
half of him) to himself. Tom, evidently very
well satisfied with his bargain, stepped down from
the auction block, when one Of the bystanders
accosted him:
'sTom, what did you buy the half of yourself
for the other half belongs to somebody else, and
you will be Just as much slave as everi''
"Oh," says Tom, with grin, "pretty good
nigger--thought I'd have an interest in him !"
a short time afterwards, while Tom was sailing
in dory, the boat capsized and sunk, leaving
him in very critical condition. Being strong
fellow he struck out for the shore, long distance
