ns- The weather has become extreme],
wintry, and the business season of our towr
is pretty well over. The pork packing bust.
ness has been light here, and prices have
steadily declined, -Four dollars twenty-fi
cents per hundred isnow the highest figure.
At this price there is no doubt money to be
made in the business. There seems to be no
more reason why pork should be low this sea
son than there was why it should rule ex-
tremely high last year. The number of hogs
packed this year will doubtless be far below
what it was last, and the price of barrel
pork, we believe, will generally range as high
OF higher through the coming season than
1T did through the last. as .daa
The prices Of wheat and flour are almost
up to the starvation point for the poor. 1t
is said that there is not wheat enough in
Wood county for the home consumption.
A few loads of good wheat could be sold
here now at almost the sellers own price.
Potatoes continue moderately plenty
They bring good price, and, while bread
stuffs are so high, may be made to supply
their place to considerable extent. Corn
meal may also be used 70 good advantage in
this way. .dt @, sgr.,'g
On the whole, any farmer in this vicinity,
with good farm and sufficient industry to
work it, ought to lay up money yearly
Qsr prices here would make glad the hearts
ofjfarmers in the interior of either Indiana,
Ohio, or any other western state of the
sTfat basin, if they could enjoy them. p, In
short, the markets in this vicinity for staple
farm products, are among the best in the
western country. This is a matter of the
first importance to farmers, and those seek
ing new locations should bear this in mind
when thinking of the great bargains IN lands
now offering in this county.

block of buildings on Broadway, containing
the Metropolitan Hall, and in about two
hours they were totally destroyed, leaving
nothing standing except the marble front OF
the La Fargo Hotel, which, being in dan
gerous condition, was demolished by the
tiremen this forenoon. The fire originated
in the Hall, in which julien was making
preparations for splendid dress ball and
supper, to be given on the 18th inst.
The Hotel had been leased by Charles
Wright, and furnished in the most magnifi-
cent style, and would have been opened in
few days, Nearly all the furniture was
burned or seriously damaged by the hasty
manner in which it was removed. The
Hotel was the largest and most expensive
building Of the kind in the city. 1t had an
extended front on Broadway, and ran back
to Mercer street. The Metropolitan was
formerly known as Tripler Hall. .-
Several other buildings on Broadway and
Mercer streets were more or less injured
The roof of frame house on Mercer street
was crushed i'll BY the falling of the rear wall
of the Hotel. f -. f1I,I ...
