The Hoo Market.

The hog market is beginning to attract
considerable attention, and the figures
used in engagements are already begin
ming TO range at astonishing high rates.
The papers at Madison in this State. say
that contracts have been made there for
November and December delivery al
S4 % gross. but holders are now asking
S4 so. The Cincinnati Gazette thinks
that the opening rates will reach 81 per
100 net. Packers are unwilling to make
contracts at this figure. and there are no
sellers at very much lower rates, conse-
quently very little is being done for fu-
ture delivery.
The Chicago Journal says Quincy Ill.
Packer has purchased 10, of hogs for IS
psr 100 lbs, the hogs TO be delivered in
December. The Alton Courier says tina
Messrs. Billings g. Bro. of Beards.own,
have purchased lot Of hogs for packing
at s. per 100 lbs.. deliverable the ensu.
ing season, and advanced $500 on the
contract.
The Madison packers have contracted
for 25. 900 hogs at sc 80 net. for Novem.

Cydaide, or Cyniurft 81 f0fdSs'um.
The first on the list Of roiSons, for deadly
qualities, is the Cyanide of Potassium; and
while it is so instantly fatal in It's character, II
is now so extensively used in the arts, that a
knowledge of its antidotes is OF paramount
importance, In cases of poisoning by this
terrible salt, if immediate relief IS not given,
death ensues before physician can be pro-
cured. In every Office, workshop, or labora-
tory in which this drug is kept or used, the
antidotes should be placed conveniently,
I that immediate recourse could be had TO them,
in case of accidental or suicidal poisoning
from its use.
CYANIDE of Potassium is solid saline
compound Of Hydrocianic acid (I'russic acld)
Its chemical constituents are, firstly, Ferro-
cyanuret of Potassium, and secondly Carbo-
nate of Potassa, in proportions OF oi the
first TO 3 of the second. This salt is exten-
sively used in electro gliding and SilverinS,as
solvent of metals. BY the aid OF this SOL
vent, the photographer prepares his plate ior

when her child is torn from her. In the
depths of my sorrow, which seemed to be
immcasurablc, it was my only prayer to
God that such anguish might not be suf-

There were circumstances connected
with the child's death Of such peculiar bit

suffering, that l felt could never be con-

the crushing of my own heart might ena-
bic me TO work out some great good to
others. His death took place during the
cholera summer, when, in circle of five
miles round me, nine thousand were bu
ried-a mortality which I have not heard
exceeded anywhere. My husband, in fee
bic health, was obliged to bo absent the
whole time, and had sole charge of a
family of fifteen persons. He could not
return to me, because would not permit
it for in many instances where parents had
returned from distance to their families
and the infected atmosphere, the result
had been sudden death, and the physi-
clans warned me that if he returned it
would only be to die. My poor Charlie
died for want of timely medical aid; for,
in the universal confusion and despair
that prevailed, it was often impossible to
obtain assistance until il was too late.

Railway Routes to the Pacific.

The recent surveys Of five routes for q
Pacific railway, has given us some valua-
bic information. These routes src-first,
the extreme Northern, surveyed by Maj.
Stevens, lying between the 47th and 10Th
parallels of latitude, starting from St.
Paul, in Minnesota territory, and striking
the Pacific at Puget's Sound, or the mouth
of the Columbia river, in Oregon. Itwas
found by survey that this route will require
a road, allowing for ascents and descents,
of 2207 miles.
The second is the route of the forty first
parallel of latitude, known as the Mormon
route, commencing on the Platte river at
the Missouri border, striking across the
Plains, through the South Pass, thence to
the Mormon settlements at Great Salt
Lake, and across the Great Basin to the
Sierra Nevada, crossing it by one Of the
numerous passes, and so on down the Sa-
cramento river to Benicia.
The third is the Benton route, COM
mencing at Westport, Mo-, and ending at
San Francisco. The typographical engi-
necrs are officially reported to have found
this road impracticablc.
The fourth route, known as Senator
Rusk's, is that of the thirty fifth parallel,
beginning at Fort Smith, Ark, thence
across the Plains to Albuquerque, on the
Upper Rio Grandc, thence across the
Rocky Mountains and the Colorado of the
West, and the great desert basin and its
mountains, and the lower end of the Sier-
ra Nevada chain to San Pedro, on the Pa
cifc, at tie southern extremity of Califor-
MIA This route is set down as nearly as
bad as Bcnton's, although the surveyors
think that 3I87 equated miles and $780,
2l0,2G5 might perhaps do the work.
The fifth is the route near the thirty
second parallel, known as the extreme
Southern route It crosses Texas and
New Mexico, and follows the valley of the
Gila to the Pacific This last route is the
favored route with the present Admins
tration, but the figures We give below from
the official reports of engineers, show that
there is not much difference between it
and the extreme Northern route, except in
the estimated cost, which being matter
of conjecture, may have been made up to
suit the views of politicians.

Gathering in Crops An Error ?

A wandering Yankee, returning from
his first "tower" into the interior Of Penn
sylvania, remarked among his other dis
coyeries : Gone thing obsarvcd, that
when hull passel of Dutchmen got toge-
ther, they'd all saH. anARe, and then
they'd all stop and Esteniv
Looking at the thousands Of scho2ks
of wheat cut and dried during the five or
six days proceeding Friday last, and then
lef. exposed to the rain of four days foil
owing, we were reminded Of the Yankee 8
criticism they seem to Gu. their wheat all
dopn and then draw ii all an. In other
portions of our country-and Of Pennsyl-
vania, too-the common custom, in the
best of weather, is to gather in grain, after
being cut, just as soon as it will allow Of
being housed. No matter how clear the
sky may be-"we know not what day
may bring forth"-a sudden thunder gust
or long drizzling rain may come, which
will not only iDjure the grain, but also
nearly double the amount of labor. They
think that after being cut, neither the
seed nor the straw should be rained upon
that grain standing during rain is less
injured than when down, bound or un-
bound-and that for change Of labor, it is
more convenient to draw in some every
day, rather than have it all cutting aud
binding for several days, and then all
drawing in and stacking for several days
more.
We lay no claim to superiority of knowl-
edge in farming, but this difference of
practice is a fact, which we submit for the
consideration of our intelligent farming
readers, many of whom we are sure will
hereafter try the plan Of taking in as fast
as the grain is ready, and if they approve
the system they will practice it themselves
and commend it to others, and thereby
save much anxiety, much labor, and much
money. M.

SUMMIT OF HIGHEST PAss.

1t is not easy to see how the cost Of
building the northern route could be SO
much more than the southern, when the
length is not much greater, and the ascents
and deserts are II ,6s4 feet less. These
surveys have rendered very important
service to the country, in showing the real
superiority of the northern route, which
previously had been supposed impracti-
cable As settlement is progressing very
rapidly in Minnesota and Nebraska, it
seems highly probable that lines Of rail-
way will be carried forward in the same
ratio, The Mormon route is that to which
Philadelphia will one day look with pecu-
liar interest: as it is directly in the line of
cur railway extensions.
All along our Western borders We find
lines of railway, constructed or in course
of construction, pointing westward. There
is not State on that frontier which has
not one or more roads built, in process of
construction, or under survey or contract.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Texas, all have wes-
tern lines of railway in some stage of ad-
vancemcnt, and in the last Congress the
delegate from Kansas attempted to get
bill passed for the construction of a road
in that territory. 1t thus appears that the
Pacific Railroad will be multiform. Eve
ry separate tier of States will have its own,
in the same way that Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Nor
folk, Charleston and Savannah have their
iron avenues pointing westward through
the States east of the Mississippi. Private
enterprise will do all this without any aid
from the Government. Nothing is needed
but settlements along the route, civil 60
vernment and military, protection.-PH.
