Hoas.-'The hog market in Louis.
vile, Cincinnati, and Madison. Indiana,
is reported quiet. The following are
extracts from letters from different
sections of'the western country, from
which it will be seen that the price of
hogs is very unsettled. A writer to
the Louisville Journal, from Lexine-
ton, KY, on the goth August, says 'As
for corn you may feel assured that
there was q better prospect for n
fine crop, and prices are every dny feel
ing the effect of it.-Farniers who
asked 81 rs and 50 per barrel Is BUSH
els in the field a month since are now
willing, if not anxious to sell at 81
% and do not fine buyers at that
price. Hogs arc abundant also, and
prices are getting near the reach of
reasonable men. Three dollars per
100 pounds gross is now the asking
rate in this aud the surrounding coun.
ties, though but few buyers are willing
to take hold at that price. The unusual
~ large number of hogs in the coun-
try, joined to the facta of the corn
crrp being so fine, makes people rath-
cr scary about specuiations in them,
and we may expect operators this
year TO ho more prudent than they
were last"
The following are extracts from
letters to the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent: From Milton, Wayne county, In
diana: "1'hc number Of Hogs in this
vicinity about the same as last seas
on, in quality at least 10 per cent.
below. Feeders are calculating on a
considerable reduction in price, though
there have been no contracts made vet
that have heard Of"
From Dublin. Indiana: alt is be-
licved that there is quite as many
Stock Hogs, ifnot more than there
was last year. Price of Stock Hogs
3 cents per b.; hear OF no price
for fat Hogs, but it is the Judgment Of
buyers that $500 to 3,25 will be about
the price per 100 lbs. net"
From Greenwood, Indiana: "Thc
number of Hogs in this section of
country is at least equal to that of
last year. Stock Hogs have sold fom
s2,75 to $500 gross, but there is some
hesitancy in taking hold, in conse-
quence of the anticipated failure Of the
corn crop, this crop having suffered
severely fom drought"
From Freedom, Owen county, In
diana: '"fhe present stock of Hogs is
full 10 per cent; larger than that Of
last. The general opinion is that
Hogs will be low. Stock Hogs have
been selling at $500 gross, but are
dull at that, and buyers are hold
ing back"
From Clinton, Indiana: 'It is the
general impression here, of both
feeders and buyers, that the number OF
Hogs is about the same rs last
year, and that the price will range from
3 to 4 cents, according to the final re-
suit of the Corn crop and the Mo.
ncy markct.-N. Y. Sun.

According TO the Cincianat; Railroad
Record, sixty millions Of bushels ofs
Corn are raised in Ohio every j err The
average crop is sithirtylseyen bushels,to
an acre. Among its usesNthe following
are mentioned: Slas &; ..{, s. :s3 IS,
1t is in changing its form into
meats and liquors, and finding amar-
ket among the laborers of our own
country, that the farmer of the great
Central West finds both a market and
u profit for his Indinn corn. One of.
the principal changes made IL is in
feeding it to hogs, which, after fat
tcning, are converted into pork. There
arc not less than five hundred thou.
sand (5OO,000) hogs fa,tencd annual
ly i'll Ohio, which consume in the fat
tening process about eight millions Of
bushels Of corn. AS there are four
times that number Of hogs and pigs in
the State, it isquite probable that rs
much more corn is consumed in
wintcring these. There are also man
ufacturcd in this Stataabout four hun.
drcd thousand barrels of Whiskcy.
From the single port of Cincinnati
there are annually exported from two
hundred and fifty to three hundred
and fifty thousand barrels of whiskey,
enough to fill harbor sufficient
to float fleet of ships!
The wliskcy manufacture probably
consumes twelve millions of bushels. It
is the distiIicrics which fix the mo-
ney price Of corn; and if one would
learn one Of the great frauds devised
to pcrpetuatc evil upon earth. let him
know that this whiskcy is largely used
for the manufacture OF the falsely cal.
led wine brandcs, gins, anu other
liquors which appear on the tables
of hotels, private gentlemen, &C., to
feed the vulgar appetitcs Of. the "bet.
t. + class" WHO look with contempt up
on the bald whiskey oflac laborcr. AT
ter these great consumers of Indian
corn-thc hog and the whiskcy maker
we have all the fattcd cattle to
feed, which will probably consume
tircc millions OF bushels more. Then
we have the stock cattle and the hor-
scs to winter, and the domestic
consuml ton. With all these uses for
it, our sixty millions oflndian corn in
Ohio is not too much. We have use for
the whole of it; and i'll proof of it, We
know thu: in seasons when the crop is
short the price of corn doubles, and
many farmers find themselves short of
a supply. Even in this grca, pro-
duciny country, and in that abundant
article, Indian corn, we have daily
evidence that the production is not
beyond the demand; but on the
contrary, that from year to year, the
price of his staple article advances and
on the completion Of our numerous
railroads to markets. it is certain that
corn will advance largely in price.

Fast NHeaa.

The vicious die early. They fall like
\ shadows or tumble like wrecks and
i3Sruins :intosthe graye-oftcn while quite
young, almost always before forty. The
wicked "liveth not half his days" The
world at once ratiics the truth and
assigns the reason by describing the
dissolute as 'fast men," that is, they
live fast; they spenI their twelve
hours in six, getting through the
wholo of them before the meridian,
and dropping out of sight and in
Ito darkness while others are in the
glow and glory of lie. "Thcir sun goes
1 down while it is yet day" And they
might have helped it. Many an

ITO whom, when dissipated and prof
5ligate, thirty-sevcn is so fatal: and
/; your obscure and namclcss "wan,lcr.
Ing stars" who waste their youth in
fslibertine indulgence; they cannot
live long. They must die carly. They
put on steam till they blow up the
4 boiler. They run at such rate, that
the fire goes out for want fuel. The
machinery is destroyed by reckless:
!. speed and rapid wear. Nothing can
save them. Their physical system can.
mot stand 1the strain they put it to-;
while the state Of their minds is often
8such, that the soul would cat the
substance Of the most robust body, and
make for itself way Of escape from
the incessant hell Of its own thoughts.

These are items which speak much for Old
Cedar. She is fast assuming that Importance
and attracting that attention to which her prolific
soil. her reso arces, wealth and advantages enti-
tie her.
When. in addition to the above, we take into
consideration that the county has all the neces-
sary county buildings, and those which will an
sver every purpose for many years to cone,
the picture is truly fattering.
And again, that the position of the financial
affairs will not require as heavy taxes as here
tofore and after this year the increase in
wealth, the vast attn cunt of land lately entered

the taxes for county purposes in Old Cedar will
be as low, if not lower, than any other county
