A Coop Tlxx CoYISG.-The folks on the bor'
der of Missouri look upon the Mormon war as
ga good time coming" since it will create de-,
mand for labor, produce and animals, which will
be eminently beneficial to that region. The In
dependence Messenger says:
The outfit OF this army will be itself an i'm
mense business, requiring, no doubt, $4,000
head of work-animals, il the shape Of horses,
mules aud cattle; and the Government will give
fair price for these articles, which will scatter
an immense sum Of money among the farmers
and others of Missouri. The outfit last spring
put in motion $500 men, requiring 1900 wagons
and teams. These same men have to be sup.
piled this ssason with an addition, probably, of
5000 more, which, according to the same rule,
will require near 1000 wagons and teams to haul
them. Altogether, it is reasonable to suppose
that it will cost at least $2,OOo,O0O for the was.
ons and animals alone, and tn. whole expense
incurred cannot be less than $9,000,00o to $lO,-
100000. With this heavy expenditure on our
frontier, we confidently predict plentiful suppl,
of money among us, and with the large surplus
of grain and provisions in the country, which we
will sell At reasonable prices, We may expect
more prosperous season for all classes than has
ever been witnessed in Missouri.

BILL1AKDs-E1rRloRDIyA Rux.-Yester-
day Mr. John W. Hester WAS playing game Of
billiards, and by all adroit play brought the two
reds together about eighteen inches from the
cushion at tho foot Of the table, He then
"nursed" them so skilfully that he marked two
thousand one hundred and ffty.seven points by
seven hundred and nineteen consecutive caroms!
without making cushion! The time occupied
in making this run of 2l57 points, was nearly
two hours; and it was only terminated when the
player, feoliug that he had accomplished feat
in billiards which, possibly, the world never saw
before, became pArdonably excited, losthis stead
iness Of nerve, and made a false play. This sc
count might we'll be doubted were its correctness
not sttested by eight person who were absorbed
spectators throughout the run.
The papers of all the other great cities-Bos
ton, New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis
boast their big games of billiards; but we are
much mistaken if they ever had, orever will have
anything to equal the New Orleans run OF 2l57
points. We advise Hester to quit the game now,
aud never risk his laurels by playing again.
