"We hear of no transactions, and
quote the market nominal at FIVE cents

ceipts of hogs are increasing, and the
packing season will be fully commenced
during the week. The slaughter has
not exceeded 1000 head, with receipts
of some 5000 head. But few hogs are
selling in the country, and we hear OF
small sales in Garrard and Boyle Coun-
ties at So gross, for cash, at the pens,
and $3.50 on time. Some feeders are
not willing to sell at these prices, and
are driving their hogs in to be packed
on their own account. Private dispatch.

Remcmhcr The Poor.

One of the highest and noblest durl
ties which devolve upon society is to
provide for. the wants of the neeessi-
tous. There is a luxury in doing good
whose full extent can only be known
by those who have eng o Dyed it in its fru-
ton, 1t gives an agreeable glow to the
feelings, and a cheerful b%uoyancy of
spirit which are derivable from no 9TH
er description of pleasure-seeking,-
When the great Redeemer reminded his
disciples that they had always the poor
with them, he left for their fulfllment
a sacred duty, the reward for which is
sure and abundant. Earth has no high
er or richer blessings, heaven no purer
Joys than are felt by those who COM
passionate the. suffering poor, and ad-
minister to their wants in the hour OF
penury and sorrow. -af@a-..t 81 $50
The pecuniary troubles which over
whelm the country through its length
and breadth, fall with depressing weight
upon the poor. They are harder to be
borne by them, as they are thereby dc,
prived of their ordinary means of live.
lihood. Dismissed from the employ,
ment which has heretofore furnished
them with the ability to buy bread fol
themselves and their families, they know
no other What shall carry
them through the stern necessity of tho
| coming winter? Whence shall they OBJ
tain FOOD to save them from starving, Of
how provide themselves with warn
clothing and comfortable homes for TIN
approaching cold season? These ques
Etious arc undoubtedly puzzling to them
but they need not be SO to those VIII
have enough and to spare of world,
| goods. Such have not only the oppor
tunity to provide literally for all tn
necessities of the poor; but viii find i
q. paying Investment, from which the.
will realize a,lprge dividend, both her
and hereafter. The hountiful girer ne
! yer goes uarewarded.

He The virtuous Rev. Kalloch, of
Boston, who delivered il lecture in East
Cambridge one evening last winter, and
took sundry whisky SKINS" etc, etc.
has turned up again. The Kansas cor
respondent of the Times, writing at Lee
compton, X. T.. on the I'd inst, says:
Our gossiping ladies have had IA rich
subject during the past week. The Rev.
Mr., Kalloch, of Boston notoriety, ar
rived here last week, in company with
one of the most beautiful women in the
country, the wife of a distinguished
statesman. This has been the topic Of
the week.

i Rg-The following story is told of
Judge Hawkins, the present Reprcsen-
tative in Congress of the State of Flori-
da-a man, by the way, brimful of gen
uine wit. During the war with Florida
Indians, he commanded a volunteer
company. On one occasion they fell
upon a party of the cnemy concealed in
a swamp. The Captain sprang upon a
lond, waved his sword, and cheered his
men to the charge. just then he was
shot down. One of his officers ran to
ask if he was much hurt. Not very
badly" said Hawkins, "just about
enough to send mt to Congress! The
prediction has been verified. d.
