Mr.. JoHN B. GoUsu delivered lecture on Sat-
urday evening at the Academy OF Music, corner
Of Irving place and Fourth street. In spite of the
weaiher-rain falling i'll torrents--the house was
most respectfully filled. abont one thousand five
hundred persons being present. On the stage e
noticed the Rev. DR.. Marsh, Mr.. Warren, Secre-
tary Of the Temperance Alliance. The Rev. DR..
Tying presided. Nj. J. B. Cough has just return
ed from tour through Europe; he looks uncom-
monty well. and delivered an excellent lecture,
illustrating in his usual affecting style the various
scenes Of ntenperance he has met with; the
recital of many OF which drew tears from the male
rs well as the female portion of his listeners He
spoke of his reception in England, with which he
was well pleased. They told him in Exeter hail
that he was thin on water drinking. He answer
ed ii was not from water drinking, but from his
ardurous duties in the Temperance Cause; for ~
yeats he has made three hundred speeches annm-
ally, besides attending Committees, visiting drunk
ards, and answering his correspondence, which
amounted last year 10 nearly four Ihousund letters.
Tie has avoided all StmulantS, almost abolishins
tea and coffee, drank nothing but pure water, yet
lie would walk ten miles with any one in the
Theatre on Monday morning, and then go
through days work. The lecture lasted about
two hours, and was loudly chee1ed throughout.

usome of the earliest notices of boxing matches
upon record, singualary enough, took place be-
tween combatants Of the fair sex. In an English
journal Of 1922, for instance, we find the follow
ing gage Of battle throw n down aud accepted:
ChalIange.-I, Elizabeth Wilkinson, of Clerken-
well, having had some words with Hannah HyfvId
and requiring satisfaction. do invite her to meet
me upon the stage, and box me for three guineas;
each woman holding half crown in each hand,
aud the first woman that drops the money to lose the
battle.
Answer.-I, Hannah Hyfeld, of Newgate Mar
ket, hearing of the resoluteness Of Elizabeth Viii
kinSon, will not fall God Willing, TO give more
blows Than words, desiring home blows, and from
her no favor. She may expect good humping.
The haIfcrowns in the hands was an ingenious
device to prevent scratching.

REsuxrrioS OF DAILY TEAvxt TO NORsoLk.-
The Baltimore American announces that the Nor
folk line Of steamers will commence making daily
tnps between Baltimore aud Norfolk on the LIST OF
November, at which time the fever embargo will
be entirely removed. The course of this company
during the past few months, in running their steam
ers al a heavy expense without remuneration, in
order to snccor the pestilence stricken cities of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, and to convey to them
necessities of life anil of death also, when cut
of by all other lines of travel, cannot but have
secured to them the kindly feelings of the travelling
public, which will doubtless be eyinced on all
suitable occasions by the citizens of the North and
South.

TnE MuaDrn OF D.. HADEL.-The Baltimore

TnE MURDrR OF Dr.. HADEL.--The Baltimore
Patriot OfIwednesday says:
Frederick Miller, the murderer, was tried at
Cumberland yesterday for the murder of Henry
Graf, and found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. The testimony was nearly the same as in
the case ofthe murder OF DR.. Hudel. We learn
that the exceptions taken by the counsel of Miller
to the wording of the verdict rendered by the jury
ofguilty of the murder of Dr.J. F. C. Hadel, huv-
lug been sustained by the Cont, the States At
torneY demanded that the prisoner should be at
once put on trial on the second indictment for the
murder of Henry Graef. The object of the taking
of the exceptions was doubtless 10 bling out all
the testimony in the double murder, in older to
clear up as much as possible the mystery that en-
shrouds this dreadful tragedy. Thus ends thesec-
ond act of this bloody dramatic third will end
with the life ofthe murderer.

Health of NorfoTx.

That the epidemic is still lingering with US, in
mitigated form, is NOT to be doubted. Cases Of
fever are of daily occurrence; aud indeed the dis
eases ordinarily incident to the season scarcely
develop themselves nowS before symptoms Of yell
low fever become apparent, and tits hard contest
between them sometimes, which shall get the mas
te-y. We have no data at present to ascertain the
amount OF sickness in the city, but we fear there
is qnite enough TO excite apnrehenSionS for the
safety OF those who come in from abroad. Among
the new cases we may mention that Of daughter
of Mr.. J Odend' hal, who, since the epidemic first
broke out, has been living few miles from the
city. few days ago she came into town fIr some
clothes and other nereSSaTieS, and though she re-
manned but short time, took the fever aud now
lies very sick. The Meathe continues wam-the
thermometer on Saturday reaching to upwards Of
so. There were, as we learn, Eve interments ON
Friday and two on Saturday. These facts, We
think, ought to satisfy our absent friends of the
pronnety OF holding on where they are, yet little
longer.
We are clad TO learn that Mr.. ]. Perry, near
Fort Norfolk, who las been extremely i'll with
The fever, is now recovering. -NOrtoK Herald of

The PoRK TRADE.--It is the general impression
that the lumber of hogs in the West will fall short
of last yearss supply, when the packing vas TIVE n
ty.two per cent. deficient as compared withthat OF
the previous season. The Cincinnati Gazette is
of the opinion, however, that as only small pro-
portion of the hogs actually Produced go into the
hands Of the packers. the present heavy crop of
corn and the high prices that prevail for hogs, will
operate to very large extent towards making up
the deficiency that exists in numbers, so ar as re-
ga1ls the packing business, and also to so increase
the weight as to more than annihilate the ontici
patel falling off, Experience. says the Gazette,
has fulyestabshedt the factthat high prices for corn
and low prices for hogs, prevailing at the same
time, have never failed to 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 prices of corn and hogs Ior the last
two years wrse as follows:
Hogs per 100 lbs net, $500 1913
New, com per bushel, 80 So
Last season, the tendency in the prices of hogs
was downward and corn tended upward, lille for
this season corn is heavy and hogs are firm. This
condition of the market is we'll calculated 10 in
crease the packing. Out of ten or twelve million
hogs produced annually in the Western aud South
e1n States, not much over three millions enter in
to the reports OF packers.
