stood stiff at the street corners, as they
were planted under the ancient Regime;
they looked ironical and refused to
shed ray Of light, into the highways

there was not even A tallow candle to

for there was no man in the hall to
object TO the reconsideration of the

and J. and Il. and NJ, with two others,
whose Pulses we could not recognize,
for the want Of light.
AS we came away, the voice Of a

note, said this Is ward meeting Of

Hoo misunderstanding to re.
turns to the Auditor Of Kentucky there

hogs over six months old, against l..
6S2.244 last year. This decrease in
number is attributed to the short crop
Of corn last year, which compelled
many to kill that otherwise would
have kept them for year longer. The
quantity Of pork raised in the State
the present season however, will un.
doubtely exceed that Of last year.
