The Corn and Hog Crop.

A correspondent Of the Gin cinnati Price
Current, after making u calculation Of the
insufficiency Of the corn crop OF the pres
ent season to meet the demand. comes at
once TO the conclusion that il will lead to
an advance in the price Of hogs. He ads
mits that the number OF hogs raised this
year lar exceeds last years aggregate, but
still thinks that with the short corn crop
farmers will be unable 10 fatten their stock
for market. Suppose the corn crop to be
less and the hog crop greater than last
year, it 10 we'll known that there was q
large surplus Of old corn, and there is this
seasonsan ample oat crop, so that there
will be no scarcity Of feed for fattening up
to the killing time. Is II not highly prob.
able, then, that the stock raisers will en-.
deavor to fatten up their stock for market;
rather than feed through the winter with
every prospect Of advancing prices OF corn
as the old surplus is used up. The price
of corn may be double what i. was las,
year until the killing season arrives. 30 that
the farmer must choose between two alter
natives-either selling his stock, at less
perhaps. than the cost of feeding. or feed
them through the next year. at the risk Of .
greater loss. Itis not likely then, that ev.
cry farmer who studies his own Interest
will dispose of all the stock he can spare
this fall, rather than feed through the win.
ter with corn that will command, a more
than usually high price. There will CON
sequenily be greathog crop in market
more than enough 10 meet the home and
foreign consumption, and what follows?-
The price OF the hog prodnc; is Away.
regulated by the supply and demand-.he
supply being greater than the demand the
prospects OF higher prices are rather Wis
ionary; and those who act upon the views

Arrest Of Craig.

Toliver Craig. whose arrest we mention.
ed yesterday. was last night brought to the
city and delivered into the hands of the
sheriff. The circumstances OF his arrest,
as near as we can gather them from au.
thentic sources, are as follows:
1t appears that some three months since
one Hartman Horne (who. it will be re.
membered, was Craig's security in this
CITY, moved TO Monmouth, Ill.,, and enga.
ged strongly in land speculation. A few
weeks since, letter was received bv the
Post Master al that place, stating that
Horne was engaged with band. OF whom
Craig was the chief. in forging land war
rants, and locating them on unentered sec.
tions Of land in Illinois. Horne was i'm.
mediatsly arrested, and on him were found
letters from Toliver Craig, alias WIN. Kee.
nan. alias J. Nullison. duplicating him as
the grand head. Determining to ferre, the
affair to the bottom. the investigation was
entrusted to Mr.. II. NJ. Boggess, OF Mon.
mouth, with full powers to act in the mat.
ter. and bring Craig to justice. The let
ters from Craig were postrnarked. Roches.
ter. N. Y. and thither Boggess proceeded,
having first stopped all Communications to
Craig. either in his proper or assumed
names. In the letter of the lates, date
Craig advised Horne to write him under
the name OF VIM. H. Hess. Not finding
the object Of his search at Rochester. Mr..
Boggess now ,elegraphed to Toronto. u. c.,
which he learned was a resort of the iugi
tive, and proceeded to Syracuse, N. Y,
where he expected he would most likely
succeed in his object.
At this place he learned that inquiries
had been made for letters to VIM. H. Hess.
not two minutes before his arrival. The
next morning Mr.. Boggess enclosed a
blank letter in an enveIop. aud directed i,
to w. II. Hess or T. Craig. Syracuse. N. Y,
stamping it with a post.mark of Monmouth.
ILL.,. having provided himself with one OF
the dyes Of that Office, for the purpose
Officers were stationed around the post
office and Mr.. Boggess took position
within. About nine o'clock Craig entered
and called for a letter to w. H. Hess. when
the lure OF the officer was handed to him
Craig took the letter, looked att for mo.
ment, and not liking the double superscrip
iion, handed it back, saying that it was no,
Tor him.
He was still allowed 10 60 uncaptured.
as il was hoped that he might sock some OF
his accomplices, and thus lead TO their de-
lection. But. as he afterwards said, h-
knew the moment he looked at the letter he
was caught, and travelled around through
different portions Of the city, closely
watched by The officers, in hopes that h.
might yet effect his escape. Finding tha,
he suspected them. those in pursuit now
marched up to him and took HIM prisoner
On his person were found papers. with the
same numbers OF tracts of land marked in
his epis,le TO Horne. Boggess. it is no
more than justice to say, has conducted
the affair in the most admirable manner
and without being induced TO it by any
dazzling reward. A fair remuneration
should be awarded by the Commissioners
for his services and outlay, aud we have
no doubt it will be done.
