Last season, the tendency of hogs was
downward and corn tended upward. and
for this season corn is heavy and hogs orc
firm. This condition of the market is
well calculated TO increase the packing.
Out of Ten or twelve million hogs produ
ced annually in the Western and South
States not much over three millions en-
ter into the reports of packers.
The Gazette holds, therefore, that. un
less a sudden reaction and material de-
cline takes place i'll prices. the number
of hogs packed this season will be equal
to that o. last year, while in weight there
will be an increase of at least fifteen per
cent. in pounds, or an aggregate on last
years crop as reported. Of about sixty
five milliens of pounds. The stock of
old products. now in the country. as
compared with those Of the correspon-
ding date of last year, are deficient about
forty five millions OF pounds. thus leav-
ing an excess of twenty million pounds
for the products OF 1906.

Hon. A. II. STEVENS. of Georgia, in q
recent address at q meeting in Alexan-
dria, for the benefit of the Orphan Assy-
lum and Free School of tina, city. related
the following anecdote:
"a poor little boy in cold night, with
no home or roof 10 shelter his head, no
paternal or maternal guardian TO guide.
to protect or direct him on his why,
reached at nightfall the house Of rich
planter, who took him in. fed. lodged,
and sent him on his way. These kind
attentions cheered his heart, and inspr.
ed him with fresh courage 10 battle with
the obstacles Of life. Years rolled round;
Providence led him on and he reached the
legal profession; his host had died; the
cormorants that prey on the substance OF
man. had formed a conspiracy 10 get from
the widow her estate. She sent for the
nearest counsel to commit her cause to
him, and that counsel proved 10 be the Or
phan boy, years before welcomed by her
deceased husband. The stimulus Of warm
and tenacious gratitude, was now added
to the ordinary motive connected with
the profession. He undertook her cause
with will not easily to be resisted; he
gained ii; the widows estates were secu-
red to her in perpetuity-and. Mr. Ste
vens added with an emphasis of emotion
that sent en- electric thrill through the
house, that orphan boy stands before you.

The Pork TRADE.-It is the general
impression thai the number of hogs in
The West fall short of last years supply,
when the packing was twenty-five per
Cent deficient as compared with that of
the previous season. The Cincinnati
Gazette is of The opinion, however, that
as only small proportion of the hogs
actually produced go into The hands of
packers, the present heavy crop of corn
and the high prices that prevail for hogs,
will operate to very large extent to-
wards making up the deficiency tdat ex
lists IN mum bers. SO far as regards the pack
ing business, and also TO increase the
weight as 10 more than annihilate the an-
ticipated falling off. Experience, says
the Gazette. has fully established the fact
that high prices for corn and low prices
for hogs, prevailing at the same tune.
have never failed 10 result in short
packing of the latter. regardless of the
number of hogs in the country; and low
priced corn and high priced hogs have in
most cases produced the opposite result.
The price of corn and hogs for the last
two years were as follows:

RUMORED FORGERIEs. The st. Louis Re
publican of the 18th inst, says, rumors of
two forgeries. said to have been perpetrated
in that city recently, are rife about town.
In one case young man most respectfully
connected, is said to have forged the name
Of gentleman, as endorscr to note for
81, 40O,which he negotiated. In the other
case, it is said that silent partner in a
mercantile house, who has an interest in the
business for his services, and is not entitled
to sign the name of the firm, did sign it to
very large amount for gambling and 9th
er individual debts acquired by himself
We understand that in both instances the
matter has been hushed mp by The interfer-
ence of friends.

Power OF WoRps- A thoughtless young
man, thinking to perpetrate joke at the
expense of married lady-a friend of his
who was in feeble health, remarked to
her that her husband had been severely
maimed by dray running over him. she
inquired if he was not testing, and on re-
plying that "he was not" the lady immedi-
ately tainted away, and Notwithstanding
the attendance of the best medical assist
ance, which was Immediately summoned,
she never recovered. The circumstance fur

We have had occasion during this pro
traeted season of dry weather to present
two prognostications of rain, based on the
authority of those who thought themselves
learned in such matters but from some cir
cumstance unknown to us, or to our faithful
Clerk of the weather-who, it will be OBJ
served by yesterdays report, vcntured no
further than to say it threatened RAIN
they did not come true. Our Clerk has JUS
tilted himself in saying that it threatened
to storm, and we are perfectly content to
endure the menace and its realization, too,
but his statement remains, up to the time
We write, strictly and simply truc-the pros
pect of storm not having advanced a sin
gle pace. But if we cannot have rain We
can at least continue to hope for it, talk
about it, and give the latest estimate of the
chances of its coming and so we feel en-
boldened, in spite Of the failure Of the prog
nostications before alluded to, to give yet
another, which we are confidently assured is
strict and positive presage Of good,
downright storm. Therefore we hasten to
lay before such of our readers US were nOA.
