So, rs, and AZ the close there was a brisk

latter price, with more disposition to CON
,-acg Tor December than November delivery
at the quotation. We cannot say that the
market has been strong, however, as large
offerings and u desire 10 sell. on the part of
holders, would have caused buyers to with
draw, as was the case shout the middle of
The week when there were more sellers
than buyers at IS so. There are about
1000 head in the pens, and 24o head were

speculative feeling will keep prices up 10 a

There are also. quite a large number OF

In the meantims the farmers have disceV-
cred that twill pay we'll 10 feed their corn
or even their wheat TO swine. and are doing
so extensively in order to meet the demand.
Our letters from Tennessee represent the
| s.6nest,a cora in that State known for many
years. A good demand has existed for
mess port, for fuf8re-aejivery, and $3.50
has been paid for round lots within the week,
TO be delivered in December, and the latter
part Of this month.
APPALLaNe REsuBF OF SoMNAnBULlsM,
lone Of the most uwful results of sleep
walking of which we have heard for a long
time, transPired at the Upper Ferry Land
ing, during The nigh. yesterday. Friday
evenings farmer named John Bray, fromIn-
diana WAC was removing to some poiBt on
the Mlssond river, with bis wife, sather<inL
law and four Children, came in on the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad. Beipgin s,raight-
ened circumstances, the family obtained per-
mission to stop for the night in q smallBoem
on the ferry dock at the foot of Carr street.
Between twelve and enc O'Clock in the night
Bray arose, an las sleep, and taking his
youngest child aged three years, in his arms
actually walked from the room and into the
water. The piteousg wailing of the child,
and the londs calls ofthe father for help,
sooa drew. o number of persons to the scene
from adJscept places on the levee. The
frantic sriefsof the family partook Of the in
cehesences IN Witness Of the maniac, and
is described as of the most he~ari-rending des-
cription. Before ingenuity could resolve on

PRIoREss IN H NEwM4RkEr RACE
TIL. r. &c the Cesare witch handicap at
Newmarke: for ;shichzthe American horse
prioress was list f1Eorite, was won by
Rocket by o head oniJ-P'soress and Brew
er running q dead for the secona place
Thirty FIVE horses ran. and the ice %ssse hus
described:
As the horses approached the new grouiS
Zouave took the command. and was soon in
possession ola clear lead, his immediate fols
lowers, being Scribbler, Rocket, Physician,
English Rose. The Brewer, Malacca, IN
derhand and Prieress, the American mare,
being outpaced early, but running with great
gasneness under the determined riding of
Fordhafn. On Observation-Disclosures, a
change in the foremost positions occurred,
fos Zoua9e dropped back, and Physician,
English Rose, Malacca, and UnderiIand 40
longer showed in the front rank. On their
disappearance, the Brewer obtained The lead,
Rocket, Prioress-whom Fordhsm never
'ieft'-going on second and third, with Sat
~instone. Zouave. the Courier, Turned Leosr
Reacen and Scribbler, next in pursuit, but
with scarcely q ghost of a chance of over
hauling the leaders. Hall way in the cords. |
Rocket shot out, and the American mare
and the Brewer joined issue; one Of the NEST
exciting races ever seen endiTg in favor OF
Rocket by a head, Prioress. thanks to the
admirable riding of Fordham, running dead
heat with the Brewer for the second place.
The fact that Prieress should again run q
dead heat for the raee-but this time for
second place only-was the most remarka-
Bile incident connected with the Cesare- I
witch.
DEsPERATE DUEL-The following ex
tract from a private, letter, written by one of
the soldiers in the army of Utah. gives The
particulars of one of the most desperate du-
els on record. The tragedy occurred in Ce-
dar Valley, during the FIRST week in Septem-
Der. The writer7says: The parties TO this
sanguary affair were two gamblers from ST.
Louis, named Rueker and Peel. What gave
rise 10 the difficulty was that, in the course
of a game for $1,000, Rucker played a Sc
ere: card, and was detected by Peel. Hard
wort:s. passed betwten them. when Peel
said there was but. one way TO settle the
matter-thcy must fight. Both fell at the
first shot-Rucker shot in the breast, and
Peel in the shoulder. One Of PEEPS fingers
was taken off BY the shot. The second
took effect in both. Rucker then rails
ed up on his knee and fred twice both balls
hitting Peel. The latter, bleeding irum the
wounds. struggling up from the ground,
and resting his revolver on his arm, and Ia
king deliberate aim, shot Rucker TO the heart.
