The weekly Lancaster gazette. (Lancaster, Ohio) 1852-1855, 1853-03-17

Lancaster Express, from which we derive
our facts, states that the rapid consumption
of cockroaches used to give the nutty and
peculiarly piquant flavor to wine, had made
it difficult to find sufficient supply. In
this dilemma the wine makers conceived the
happy idea that bedbugs might be used as
substitute. He tried the experiment, aud
the result was far more satisfactory than
he had anticipated. 1t was found that a
quart of bedbugs contained as much of the
favoring principle as three pints or more of
the roaches-and that the former have but
little of that narcotic or sleep producing ef-
feet, which is attributed to the latter. Con-
tracts have been made with scme OF the
fashionable boarding house keepers OF Phil
adelphia and New York for an ample sup
ply of this new article of traffic. 1t is tho't
the boarders will be somewhat pleased with
the intelligence.

Wall street, ,dscoursing on bankruptcy when
one of them perceived real live Yankee,
numbering down the street with knife and

Wgh PrjceS.-So far as these are con-
cerncd, we certainly t'ke rank among the
best markets in the West In almost III ar
ticles, prices here are as high as in Clevc-
land or Cincinnati, aud as general thing
all kinds Of produce bring cush We do not
anticipate a decline. The railroad fever has
produced railroad prices and upon the COM
pletion of the road, the facilities for trans
portation will keep prices uPto the present
figures. 1t is good time for producers, and
with their prosperity the city must eventual
ly be benefited.
Houses Wanhd.-If those of our citizen;
who have vacant lots and are able to built
upon them, will erect good substantial dwell
ings, we think they will receive fair pei
centum upon their investment and at the
same time confer great benefit upon th'
city. Such houses as these are much in
quired for and quite number would flint
renters. A large increase of population
would follow.
The I'dllmadge HouSe.-A friend Of ours
who has travelled over large portion of th'
Western country daring the past few months
and who is fond of good living, pronounce
this among the very best kept hotels in tn
West, in all respects. We trust the liber
ality of the proprietor will prove good in
vestment. 1t is certainly a first-class house
