The Pork Trade of 1850.

The Cincinnati Gazette says the hog pro-
ducts of the West may be valued, in round
numbers, at S35, ,OOO, 900, and claims that one
fourth of this business is transacted at Cincin-
natl, directly, and considerable proportion,
besides, is connected Indirectly with the mer-
camille operations of Cincinnati. We copy the
more interesting portions of the Gazette's arti-
Gle:
Regarding the supply of hogs, it is, of course,
difficult to reach a reliable conclusion, and the
most we can do in this respect is to arrive at
an estimate of the general result. Upon gen.
eral principles, and without regard to existing
circumstances it would be reasonable to antIcI-
pate a supply greatly in excess of any previous
season Two things only are necessary, ordI-
nariIy, to secure large cropOf hogs, especially
when thev are found to exist two years IN sue
cession, viz remunerative prices and good sup
plies of corn. For several years past the former
have been realized, and in regard to corn, 1t Is
| to be remarked that the average for four years
has not fallen much, if any, below fair yield.
| Last wear the crop, such as it was,Gn quality,
was large one This year it is short-sllght-
IL. in some localities, largely III others but
| taking the og-raising States together, aud m
cIuding the old corn carried over from the crop
of 1851. and we have in Ohio Kentucky, India
na. Illinois, Tennessee and Iowa, supplies equal
to the wants of the country, and fully sufficient
to warrant the belief that the present prices for
pork will induce farmers to feed all the hogs
! that can be made ready for market this season.
| The average price of hogs in this market for

Market Ordinance.

The Judiciary Committee recommended the
,.bIinq of the three ordinances before the COun-
ell. and substituted a new one. the provisions oi
which are briefly as follows Sec. l, Market
men or market teams not TO congregate on the
Fast side of the river other than as follows
Sec. .. designates Tuesday Thursday and Sat-
urday as market days the hours to be from
A. N. to noon The grounds to be occupied
are the Central Market Grounds and the streets
adjoining also the east side OF Plttsbursh anu
Oatario streets between the Central Market anu
the south line of Prospect street. Sec. 3. NJ
produce is to be sold on the market during mar
ket hours for shipment abroad, or Tor resale III
| the city. Sec. 4, prohibits the sale on the mar
ket of any produce which was purchased IN Ihe
city. or within one mile OF 1t during market
hours or on the evening previous. Also prohlb-
its any other kind of forestalling. Sec. o. pro-
yides for correct weights and measures. Sec
&. empowers the marshal and officers to carry
ont the provisions of the ordinance. Sec. z,
fxes the penalty for infractiOn OF the ordinance
at $50.
The ordinance, which was drawn up by Mr..
RYDER. was read the first time and referred to
the proper committee. The public can see the
provisions of the projected law and express
| their sentiments thereon at the proper tune
/ Herald.
The people will regard this new scheme to
advance the interests of the Central Market
spectators, as the very elimination OF the mar
ket folly They desire no further legislation by
the Council, and least of all action to embarrass
free interchanges between producer and eonsum-
er at any time and at any place. Entire free
and unrestrained trade in market matters as IN
any other legitimate business meets the gener-
al appreciation, and the public was never so
well, so cheaply, and so satisfactorily supplied
with meats vegetables, DC, DC, as since the
repeal of restrictive market ordinances The
great mass of persons interested demand that
well enough be let alone.
The muddy, the stormy, the clustering, the
raw, the chilling, and the freezing season Is
about to commence, and it would be treating
the market men and women, well as Their
customers, worse than humane man would his
brutes. to force them up Pittsburgh street and
on to the Central Market grounds along the bleak
bank of the CuyahOga.
A good Winter arrangement would be tor
market wagons to quit Pittsburgh street entire
Iy, stopping at the South end Of the Planilng
on Ontario, and occupying Prospect street say
as far east, if necessary, as Sheriff street. This
weulI give more room, and add greatly to the
comfort and convenience Of market folks, who
are nov crowded nearly every market upon the
bank or into the muddy gutter Of Pittsburgh
street, between Huron and Ontario. Prospect
street is as well protected from cutting winds
as any other, has good sidewalks, and proper
ty owners, we presume, would not object 10
their occupancy half day three times a week
for market purposes. 1t would add materially
to the bIsness and value of property on that
| pleasant street.

Il is thus seen that, for eight years past,
hogs have commanded full prices. The only
season within the nine years, embraced IN the
above exhibit, that the value was below re-
munerative point was lSi9-50, when the aver
age was 81 81 From the course OF the mar
ket, then, for eight years past, we might expect
a surplus in 1859, overwhelmingly large,
because hogs. supposing no extraordinary cir
cumstances to have existed, would appear
from the figures presented, to have been more
profitable than anything else that farmers could
have prepared for market.
But notwithstanding eight years ofiull prices
for hogs, and four or five years OF far corn
crops, on an average, we are entering upon the
new season, with hogs at IS 75 per 100 lbs,
net, aud prevailing opinion that the crop will
not much exceed, if it reaches the hgnres re-
ported for 1878. High prices and short
crop views, however, at the opening OF the sea-
son, are not to be taken as conclusive evidence
of deficient supplies. 1t has not often, II ever,
occurred iu the history of the pork trade OF
this city, that deficiency Of supplies was not
figured up at the beginning OF each season
The views that we have thus presented lead
us to anticipate an increase in the hog crop OF
1859. This will be chiefly realized in lndi-
ana. Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee
Ohio and Kentucky will probably hold their
own, but no more. The packing, as reported
last year, in the several States named, were as
follows:

FRASER RIVER VERSUS CALIFORNIA. Inc
news from Frazer River by the last arrival from
the Pacific is, at the best, of a doubtful char
acter as to the richness of the gold mines of that
region Some few miners have made lucky
strikes but, on the whole, the intelligence IS
unfavOrable California, on the contrary, still
holds out, and is, no doubt, at the present time,
the richest gold mining country in the world
On the Merced River some twenty companies
are obtaining gold to the extent of from twelve
to thirty dollars to each man per day. In Placer
County, the owners of claim took ont one
thousand dollars worth of gold IN a single pan,
and they have all realised Il handsome fortune
within a few years At the Jenny Lind claim,
near Forest Hill, seven hundred ounces, worth
about twelve thousand dollars, was taken out IN
a single week, and the claim has averaged sIOOO
per week for over year past Other rich CLAIMS
are noticed, and there appears to be no doubt
that in many sections of California the yield OF
gold will be larger this year than for severa
years past.

western reserve school Lands

Woolsey Wells, Esq, the agent for the sale of
the Western Reserve School Lands-being
about to remove to Fort Dodge, Iowa, to estab-
lish a Land Agency-tendered his resignation
to the Governor, on Saturday last, having pre-
viously settled with the Auditor of State and
paid over to the Treasurer the balance in his
hands collected during the last quarter.
The whole amount of land belonging to the
W R. School Fund when Mr.. Wells entered up
on his agency, was 81, ,724 acres. The appraised
value of these lands was sos, ,3S2.7I, and the
amount received from the sales, including in
terest On the deferred payments, was slO4, 1872
2S
There are now remaining $50 acres in Def
ance county, which have reverted to the State,
the original purchasers having failed to make
final payment.
1t is due to Mr.. Wells, to say, that he has
conducted the agency in very satisfactory
manner, and faithfully accounted to the State
for all the money which came into his hands
We trust he will find-as he richly deserves
many friends in his new home.-State Journal.

Tae assets as whole, are such as Will leave
a wide margin for discounts, and some OF them
will require yearz for adjustment and collection
On Saturday Mr. KIlbraith called upon the
Sheriff and made a demand Of the assets by viz
tue of his appointment as Receiver by the Uni
ted States Court. and the Sheriff declined to
hand over. The Gazette says
We understand that the Judges of the United
States Court are very firm in the decision rem
,lered last week at the time Mr.. kibreath was
appointed Receiver If this statement be cor
rect, the lull strength Of the law will undoubt-
sdly be put forth to compel obedience to the
Trocess Of the Court Should the proceedings
finally be carried on In the United States Court,
several important points will have to be decided,
which will be sharply contested at every step
For instance, an effort will be made TO compel
the banks that may have received funds from
the Trust Company since its failure to disgorge
the various amounts, to go into the general az
gregate for the benefit OF all. Another position
will be to compel the stockholders who have
received dividends since the Company became
l,aso,reat, h pay back the sums so pad The
third position, however, aud re which will be
contested with desperation, will be to make The
Trustees personally liable, and As they are sup
posed to be worth in the aggregate, between
three and four millions of dollars, not point in
the legal contest will be yielded by either side
When, or where, it viii end can only be mat
ter of conjecture.
On Tuesday rule was issued by the United
States Court against Sheriff Mathers and Others
to show cause why they should not be attached

Awarping Unhceded.

There are six persons in the Jail of Hamilton
county awaiting their trials upon the charge of
murder Amoag them is Charles Kendall for
beating William Gregory TO death with wash
bowl. The Gazette states that one day last week
young Cook and Setter visited Kendall at the
County prison. After some conversation, Ken
dali advised the young men, who were formerly
his companions, to keep away from houses Of
bad repute, and abandon the of whisky, if
they would avoid his fate. Those vices, he
said, had led him, step by step, farther and
farther from the paths of reetitude, until he had
finally been plunged into the murderer's cell
Alas the advice was disregarded, The young
men continued in the broad and dangerous
way, and in less than week from the date of
their interview with Kendall, they have both
been committed to the same jail with him, brand
ed as murderers Let young men take heed
to their associations, if they would avoid ruin,
disgrace and death.

Return Homo OF MIR. Culver.

The Rochester Democrat of the 2d says:
We were rejOiced to receive call yesterday
morning, from the venerable Oliver Culver, OF
Bnghotn, who returned on Friday last from a
visit of fortnight to Ohio, where he was en-
gagged as surveyor sixty years ago At Cleve-
land, he attended the annual meeting and din
ner of the Cuyahoga Historical Society. His
appearance there was hailed with great pleas
ure by the venerable company assembled. A
seat was given him by the side of the President
of the Society. While in the Forest City, Mr..
Culver and his wife and granddaughter, Miss
Ely, received many attentions from the Mayor,
and from Judge Barr, MIR. Penfeld, the Messrs.
Hughes, formerly OF Pittsford, and others. We
comply with Mr.. C. S request, and return his ae-
acknowledgements in this public way. When he
left Cleveland, his party was provided with free
tickets to Columbus--a compliment which he
sincerely appreciates.
Cleveland, Mr. Culver regards as the "Queen
City of the West whose commerce is destined
to be large and valuable. Sixty years ago he
surveyed through that country, then in its prim-
tive state Now it has populous and thriving
cities. The capitol at Columbus in the finest in
the United States, next TO that at Washington.
He desires that the people of Cleveland should
do all they can TO help US enlarge the Erie Ca
nal, which is destined to be of so much value to
the commerce of the whole West

The industrial school

Mr.. WATEKroN states in the Advocate that
during the present quarter he has had over 2OC
children on the school list; and for the past
week all average of us per day. He invites
friends to visit the school about - O'Clock and
see the family partake of dinner,
The School is frequently remembered by
generous donors in the city and country. Among
recent gifts acknowledged, is box of cloth
ing made by the Ladies of the Presbyterian
Church of Willoughby, Mr.. Stair box of Boys
caps, and Melodeon for the use of the Indus
trial School donated by Mr.. CHILD and his work
men, valued at S45,0O.
Winter is drawing near, and with it the
wants of the two hundred children under the
care of the seli-sacrifcing managers of the In
dustrial School become more pressing. Com
Portable clothing is especially needed, and the
Advocate urges that Sewing Societies in the
city and country, among Juveniles, maids, and
matrons, do what they can to furnish the family
of dependent little ones with aprons, socks,
frocks, pants, vests, coats and the like. Moth

The increase in the five last named States
viz: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and len
nessee, will, in the aggregate, range from fifteen
to twenty-five per cent. in number. We do not
think there will he any material or increase from
last year in the average weight. Hogs have
passed through the Summer in good condition
The corn that is now being fed to them IS OF su-
perior quality-much better than that used last
year, and the animals promise to come forward
in good order.
The conclusions we have thus arrived at may
be stated in brief, as folows:-l. Very light
stocks of old products on the lst of December
2 An increased consumption in 1859. 8. No
material difference in the average weight as
seE.4tlss-,s---.I-I-. An increase in
number, in the total crop OF, say twenty per
cent.

She stood breast high amid the corn,
Clasped by the golden light OF morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn fiGsh
Deeply TipeBed;-sueh blush
In the midst of brown was born
Like red peoples grown with corn
Round her eyes her tresses fell,
Which were blackest none could tell,
But long lashes veiled light
Which had else been all too bright.
And her hat, with shady brim,
Made her tressy forehead dim
Thus she stood amid the stocks,
Praising God with sweetest looks
Sure, said, heaven did not mean
Where reap thou shouldst but CLEAN,
Lay thy sheaf adown and come
Share my harvest and my home,

Hon. F. W. Bird,-Dear Sir:-Your invita-
ton to attend the ratification at Dedham, on
26th inst, has awakened some Ofthe most cher
ishcd recollecIions of my life.
When the venerated father of your nominee
was, to use his own expressive language, up
on the verge of eternity" l visited him. Sit
tino at his bedside, received from the lips of
the dying patriot the most solemn injunetions
to labor for the regeneration of our government
and the elevation of our race. After lingering
a while between the two worlds, and looking
back with intense interest upon the great strug-
gle then going forward, he was kindly released
to higher state of existence.
As am about to retire, nothing could give
me greater pleasure than to welcome so worthy
a son to that body, which was SO long honored
BY the presence and labors Of his illustrious
father; and to deliver to him the charge which
long since received. May God and the peo-
pie of your district allow me that happiness.
Many years since that day have come and
gone The storms which gathered around him
while living, subsequently beat upon my own
political pathway. have met them as best l
could, until their violence appears TO have been
spent, the clouds are breaking, and the sunlight
of truth is arousing the nation t. action.
Believe me, my dear cir, / would visit the
Old Bay State, and unite in your meeting but
pnor engagements and positive duties re-
quire me TO travel in an opposite direction.
pray you accept for yourself and associates
the assurance of my high regard.
