IMPORTANT RAILROAD RUPTURE
We learn that an open rupture has
taken place between the Marietta and
Cincinnlti and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Companies, and since last
Friday there has been no regular or
authorized connection between the
two roads. Our information repre-
sents that "the Marietta company has
been driven to this by acts Of bad faith
and unjust determinations on the part
of the Baltimore and Ohio Road. y
They also charge it. Says the Park
erSburgh papers) with having attempt
ed to fix the rates Of transportation to
points on the Marietta road, and try
ing to compel acquiescencc in its do
ings-with discriminating against this
route in favor ofthe Central Ohio road
in time drumming and connections Of
trains, and also in refusing to give
through tickets or check baggage
They also charge it with having vio-
lated its agreements in reference to the

Poor quality. ...............,....." ia Sc.
The Cattle Market was entirely overstlckcd
Yesterday there being 1900 buocks mostly
heavy "red oXen,n on sale ut Bulls Head and the
price rcceded from the rate week previous for
corresponding quality full a cent pound none
buta few extra beeves selling at over ten cents q
pound for tie meat and many very good ones
sold nt one or two cents less. a larger number
arrived in the city the past week than in any pre-
viOus week since September. Notwithstanding
the great reduction In the price Of beef cattle has
borne hard upon farmers, the consumers here
find that the present price Object charged by the
butchers makes II very costly iOod-much more
so than bread and butter and several other good
things.
The number oflargo, fine red Oxen Is so large
to- day that will weigh over cwt, that we have
estimated the average weight OF the 1000 head in
market at ~ cwt., making $4,000 lbs Of beel
which is one-third moro than the demand re-
Qures. Consequently, the cattle in the yardscan-
not be all sold at any price, and the indications
in the afternoon were that some 700 or S00-some
said OOO-must remain uusold, since the own
ers are not disposed to reduce the price Of good
fair cattle for markot-retailing beef below 9c. Or
l0c.
One noticeable fact in regard to Western cattle
Is worthy of attention. II is that for the last few
years nearly all that have como from the four
great cattle States have been steers only three
or little past three years old; and an observing
friend of ours thinks that the natural product OF
seven years of Beef Cattle has been used up in six
years, and unless tho consumption greatly de-
creases, the price will hold high until the country
can gain the lost year. ThiSis just our opinion
We are one year in advance of our natural supply
and constan tly eating crop before it has lime
to mature. Its this that makes the butchers pre-
fer the red oxen-they are mature, and conse-
qucntly more profitable.
The best drove herein fact, they are above
what we generally term first quality-is one o.
30 head, owned by T.. W. Gwine, one of Ohiot
excellent feeders of Durhams, selling by a. w
Allorton and Chas. G. Teed at l0lsc q ID and
over sl00 head.
Thomas Wheeler is selling John Bryant''
drove Of good Ohio steers at about $40 head, and
he thinks lOc. pound, though the owner esti-
mates them at over cwt. sold to Isaac Val
entne Mt $50, were l0j1c.

An ITEM FOR PosTMAsrERs.-W(

AN ITEM FOR PosTMAsTERs.-We c
repeat the announcement that the 7.
NJ. General decided recently, that
BFlfPost Masters do not give pub
fishers notice when their papers re-
main in the Post Office, without being
taken out by the subscribers within
five weeks, they arcthemselve8 liable
for the pay.A
NJ. & 9. RAILRoAD.-This "insti-
tuition" is in q bad fx. The en-
ployees on the road have locked up
its machinery and stopped its trans
port business. When the present
state of affairs will cease is mere
matter of conjecture, as the hands will
not surrender the locomotives until
they have been paid their hard earned
wages, and the Company have not the
wherewithal to pay. The Company
were offered sufficient machinery to
run the mail train but would not ac-
cept it. They wanted all the proper
ty tied mp or none. We hope that
the p. 0. Department will at once sec
that our people are accommodated
with mail facilities.
p. S.-Sinco putting the above in
type, we learn that ali the strikers"
on the road have been arrested and
the machinery taken out oftheir pos
session. Trains arc now running
again, and it is rumored that the Ia
leski Company now have the road in
charge, or, at least are furnishing
means to keep it in operation. The
track being torn up at Athens and no
connection being made with the Bal
timore and Ohio road, the facilities for
transportation east Of this place are
not to be relied on. We hope the
Company will pay the poor fellows
who have been laboring on the road.
Many of them are in destitute circum
stances.
