tpempd fair eating price. The news from a
broad by each steamer is happily OF the same
character, the advicrs per the Canada, which
arrived at Halifax on the 2Sth inst, showing
decline of from one to two Shillngs IN the
quarter IN the price Of Corn. There has long

flour NAV be obtained for something less than
the three months earnings Of many widows,

high prices which have SO long rulrd.-Daiiy

So4th Caroiina The telegraph several days
ago reported that at an election for High Sher-

nor directly or indirectly its supporter, aud that
the know-Nothirgs only sePportrd him 10 hide
