therefore, to look for improvement in prices
we think the last news from Europe, foreshadowed
an improvement.

lots at home rather than drive the Hogs 10 market

into account Besides this, many Hogs that would
otherwise have been sold, have been kent on durfD
the winter, and may have been killed as occasion
demanded, furnishing fresh meat to those who would
otherwise have been buyers Of Bacon noticed
that during the fine Shedding enjoyed while the snov
lasted, the number Of dressed Hogs brought in for
sale was unusually large. Farmers that would
hardly look at SIC gross last fall for their Hogs.

DEATH OF n. B. SAUEDERs.-It becomes our pain
full duty to announce the death Of our friend
NAPOLEON B. SAUNDERS, who breathed his last
at the residence of Mr. Benjamin Wright in this
city, last Sunday, 2Sth February. Mr.. SAUNDERS
had been eonAhed some two weeks, Of pneumonia
during which time he was watched over by his
friends with all the care and attention that gentle
ness could bestow.
He was a native of Maury county, in this State,
but came, when quite a youth, TO Memphis, where
he grew up, and where he ever had a large circle
of warm and admiring friends. He possessed a
high order Of native genius, well cultivated intel
lsct, which, combined with the warm and genial
qualities Of his heart rendered him welcome
companion and instructive associate. He was ar
dent and impusive in his temperament yet kind
and gentle in his disposition. While his affections
we're strong, he neither harbOred malice nor cher
ished enmity against any living being.
His remains we're escorted to their last resting
place in Winchester Cemetery yesterday, by the
members Of the various FIRE companies, together
with large concourse Of citizens. Peace to his
sshes.-Asmpbis appeal, 2Hd.
