a SNAKE SrORy.-A Texan tells very good
story of II snake in that country, who was caught
one night stealing eggs The writer and his wife
were aroused in the middle of the night by the
crnsh occasioncd by the falling OF their cups and
plates from the dresser Springing up to see the
author of this "attack upon China" the cores
pendent found large suake-attraeted by num-
Der of eggs-had crawlcd upon the shelf and
swallowed an egg, and in order to get at the next
he had put his head and portion of his body
through the handle of jug which happened to
stand between him and the coveted deleacies.-
The handle was large enough to let his body, in
its natural shape, slip through but not sufficient
ly large to let it pass through when pulled up by
the egg. While in this position he swallowed the
second egg, His snakeship, unable to advance or
retreat, began general houndering, and of course
made much mischief,

Flush Timea OF Alabama and Mississippi.

We have received from II correspondent the
first leaves of this new book, which will be is

consists of n series of sketches, the rolcking hui
NOR of which has rarely been equaled by any
writer in this country. The author is Joseph G,
Baldwin, Esq, native of Virginia, and n nephew
of the late ,Juegc Baldwin of Staunton. He is
now II resident of Alabama, where, though yet II
young man, lac has reached the very front rank
IT his profession rs II learned and able LAWYER
We are astonished that, III the midst of his ar
duous professional duties, he has found time to
make such lmishsd aud inimitahle contributions
to literature rs most of those which we have seen
from his pen. The versatility of his genius has
rarely been cquaIlcd. We rccollect, when we
first read "Ihe Flush Times" in the Messenger,
we were so struck with their irresistible wit and
humor, that we sought out the editor of the Mes
sengcr, and begged him,ifit were no secret, to
give Us the name of the author. Ona subsequent
OCCASION, we saw in the Messenger an article of
AN entirely different character, one of the most
eloquent and vigorous pieces of historical wri-
ting we have ever read, and which arrested the
ndmlrlng attention of some of the first minds of
the state, Upon inquiry, we heard to our sur
prise, that this was also production of the YER
satilc and SPLENDID pen of Joseph G. Baldwin.
we beg here to correct prevalent misappre-
hension, that the work about to be issued by the
Appletons is only n republication of The Flush
Times in the Messenger. From an examination
of the rich and attractive table of contents, we
see that nine out of twenty six ''sketches" of the
book have never been published.-R. DISPATCH

Bell has delivered his message to the Texas Lee

is the Pacific railroad, which he urges should be

THE yEGETABLE TRADE.

Including potatoes, there are more vegetables sold
in Washington market than in any other in the city,
and indeed we may safely say than in all the mar
kets. The vegetable trade is the principal feature
there, as the market has peculiar advantages from
it, position and extensive accommodations. In Ful-
ton market there are not more than twenty dealers
the majority Of whom are engaged In the retail
trade. The average daily number Of wagons which
dispose of their produce here is computed at forty
but seine days as many as hundred and fifty arrive
from the country. Some Of these wagons contain
about fifty dollars worth Of vegetables, but the ave
rage cost OF each load does not exceed twenty-five
dollars. We do not over estimate the amount Of
yearly sales OF green vegetables alone, when we put

There are sixty-fve butchers stalls in Fulton mar.
kef, exclusive Of those belonging 70 the commission
dealers. Some Of these butchers kin as many az
fifty or sixty head Of cattle IN one week, but the
rage number sold by each II about fifteen. The high
est daily receipts Of any one amount to about five
hundred dollars, and the lowest to seventy or eighty;
but the average salcs Of each do not exceed one
hundred and fifty. The proportion Of beef to all
sther kinds Of meat retsIed in the market is as about
three to ono. The aggregate yearly sales Of those
butchers are estimated at about three millions Of dol
lars. Their business Is chiefly with hotels and
thc steamboats, and shipping along the East river
They also have customers on the North river, among
whom may be mentioned Vanderbilt, whose Line Of

BACON, HAM, ETC.

There are only two stands In the market which
transact an extensive business in bacon, hams,
smoked tongues and other kinds Of preserved meats
and their sales are estimated at $3.50 day each.
Of this amount about nne-tenths sold wholesale to
grocers and other retail dealers, and large number
OF vessels supplied by those dealers The stands
are situated the main entrance Front street,
ard they are among the oldest established in the

THE EGG TRADE.

There are ten regular dealers in this trade, whose
aggregate daily sales amount to seventy barrels the
value of which Is about one thousand dollars About
fonrffths of this amount sold by wholesale, and
a large proportion Of the total supply is received
either from Washington market or from the produce
boats in its immediate vicinity. Besides the regular
dealers there is about equal number of others who
are engaged in the egg trade during a part of the
year. Large shipments Of eggs are also made from
this market for various parts OF the country and an
extensive business is transacted with stores steam
boats, hotels &c.

THE BUTTER TRADE.

The wholesale and retail butter business is trans
acted by seven dealers, whose aggregate daily sales
do not exceed two thousand pounds. About one
half of this amount is sold by retail to hotels,
taurants, boarding houses, and private families. The
average cost per pound, Of all kinds may be fairly
estimated at twenty cents which makes the value Of
the whole quantity disposed of daily four hundred
dollars. OF the seven dealers there two three
who have a most extensive custom, and each of
whom sells from six to seven hundred pounds daily
the smallest amount sold by any one dealer being
about eighty.

unfortunate prisoner condemned to dungeon in the

There are, we were told about thousand persons
engaged in the lobster fisheries and these dispose OF
them to our New York fishermen, who transfer them
TO the commission dealers. During a part OF the
year. from about the lst OF July till October consi.
derable supply is obtained from the lobster fisheries
at Cape Cod
This fish s sold by all the dealers in the market;
but the average daily sales OF each do not exceed
fifteen dollars during the season. which begins in May
and ends in December. For the remainder Of the
year there is generally supply in market but it Is
very limited. Blacklish, although considered by
SEINE as very excellent eating, is not q general ia.
vorte and during the last three four years there
has been considerable dminution in the sales.
This may be attributed to the appearance Of the fish,
which many might consider repulsive; but whatever
effect this may be supposed TO have, it Is certain that
the diminution Is not owing to the scarcity Of the
fish itself. The sales in this case are, a. in many
Others, graduated by the taste Of the public.
WEAK FISH, PogG,rs, EELS, AND FLouNDEBs.
There are only two wholesale companies which
deal IN these fish TO any extent and they, we were
told, receive about four tons daily The principal
fishing grounds are along the southern shore Of Long
Island and the fish transported over the railroad
to Brooklyn, from whence they are sent by boats to
this market. But besides the supply received daily
by the DEALERS there are about twenty-five boats from
which they sold in the docks to the retail dealers
These boats dispose 81 about six dollars worth day
each, consisting Of blue fish, founders, weak fish,
small bass, and crabs, considerable proportion Of
which ore caught in the East river, near Hellgate.
