A young man named Kidd, eighteen years of
age, in the employ Of the Citizens Bank of Pitts
burgh, was found dead upon the ice in the Allie
gheny river, near St. Clair Street Bridge, one
morning last week. Testimony showed that he
was intoxicated on Wednesday evening after
leaving the theatre, and there is no doubt that
in that situation he fell from the bridge meeting
his death.

Review of the Burlington Market.
For tie Week ending Monday, Pm
We have no changes to notice in prices since
our last.
Pork packers are very backward about selling
or else the Market is bare of hog products. Re-
tailers are hardly able to supply the Retail Mar
ket with lard, smoked hams and shoulders.
Grain is coming in freely when the roads per-
NIT, but they are just now very rough. We
hear of sales on time Of Fall Wheat for 81.
Butter and poultry are growing scarce, and
the former will advance in price, probably.
Wheat-spring, 7oa75. Fall, 80.
Corn-30aS5.
Oats-3Oa33.
Buiter-2oa25.
Chickens-Sl,5 so per doz.
Turkeys-loc per ID. 49,

HASTY LEGISLATION

The habit of postponing the consideration Of i'm
portant bills until the last moments of the session
is bad one in all respects. There can be no wise
consideration of any item, and members are COM
PEELED to take the hasty work of conference COM
mittees permit the appropriations for the public
service to be defeated. We have heretofore adj
Verted to instance of OMISSION after there had
been concurrence of both Houses. Another now
occurs to us. Although the Committee of Ways
and Means had reported an item of three hundred
and sixty thousand dollars for the national armores
no such item appears in the law, and the manufac-
ture of for the current year must be considerably
curtailed, or the financial ingenuity of the Wan
Department must be exercised to find method Of
borrowing from some other fund. The probability
is that the clerks were oyertasked in the last dreamy
hours of the session. and thoughts of war were not
uppermost in the mind of any concerned in fabr
eating the laws.
