THE WrsrEEH Hoo AND CATTLE CRoP.-
The prospect ofthe coming season through.
out Kentucky, and we. believe Ohio and In
diana, are favorable for an increase over
asst year. In Kentucky, it is said the num-
Der of hogsis unprecedented, and as the
corn crop win be full average one, they
4 can all be fattened. A letter from a farm
er in Mason co., Ky, says:
.rt Stock hogs are So u hundred, gross, and
freely offered Fat hogs are refused at the
same price. The amount OF old corn is
considerable at $3.50 b bbl in the crib
New corn is selling at $,25 p bbl in the
field.
Cattle coming into winter and fall beef
% are scarcer than ever knew them. | am
now grazing 700 cattle-only 100 head of
them will be fit for killing this fall, whereas
usually one-half would have been good beef.
found it utterly impossible to get good
aged cattle, in Kentucky, for grazing fat.--
Beefis cenrs IA pound here now, and
must advance with the fall demand.
The California trade has taken off most
9 ofthe extreme western cattle, and oxen
have been bought In this county for that
market. Tennessee has been hunted over
for old oxen to feed for the New York mar
ket, by Kentuckians and ohioans.
SERIOUS MISTAKE BE A BANK TELLER.-
On Wednesday, Henry RosenthOl, COM
taission merchant of New York, presented
check drawn for $s,l2 on the Hanover
Bank in that city for payment. Mr.. E. b.
Cobb, the paying teller, ia the hurry of bu-
siness, paid Rosenthal $4,000 by mistake
instead of $9,l2 Later in the day, Mr.
Cobb, in making up his accounts, discover
ed that there was quite large deficiency of
funds, and upon comparing the check with
the check clerk the error was at once dis
covered. The police were Immediately sen
after Rosenthal, and on his arrest he denied
any connection with the matter, and said he
s had not drawn the money. His trunk was
searched, which resulted in finding $500 in
500 bills, which, after some hsitation, he
admitted was portion of the money he had
drawn upon the check, and paid to him by
mistake BY Mr.. Cobb. His person was also
searched, and upon him was found funds
making in all nearly the amount drawn by
him. He was detained for examination.

., GRAssHoppER ScoURGE.-The New York
Tribune has most melancholy story of the
Z. destruction of vegetation by grasshoppers in
Chataque county, in that State, where they
have devoured the hay crop, the wheat, the
oats, beans, turnps, cabbages, garden veg
etabies generally, Indian corn, aud run over
y the pastures and meadows. Other counties
are affected in that State and Pennsylvania.
At Plymouth, N. H., they have also over
run entire fields, and it is said have forced
themselves in swarms into dwelling houses
preying upon clothing, window curtains &c
ANOTHER IMPROBABLE SroRY.--it is stat
ed that private letter received in N. York
I. from New Orleans states that an immense
! raft, boxed up, full of the bodies oftbose
who have died Of yellow fever, was towed
down the river after night-fail, and sunk
so difficult is it to obtain persons to dig
graves or to bury the dead. This story,
like the one giving an accountof the burn
ing of a large number of dead bodies' we
take to be mere fiction.
