p"A family of nine persons passed through

such treatment Now, we confess, we read the
statement with emotions much different; for we
respect the determination of these people, whom
no obstacle, not even the greatest poverty could
hinder from the attainment Of their desire Tor
home of their o,pn. They have shaken oil the love

other grades have been bought at lower rates. In
the absence of public sale we can only give what
we conceive to be an approximation to prices of
tobacco in hogSheadS. They are as follows: Lugs,
