The ENGLISH SPoRTsAAN.-Some
time ago We published letter from Mr..
GRASrLEr F. BERKELEY, an English sports-
man. in reference to his coming to America
on . hunting tour. 1t appears from an ar
ticle in the Spirit of the Times of Oct. let.
that he is very much displessed with the
treatment given his dogs, "who have shared
his parlor and his home for years" by the
railroad men in the East. He very foolishly
thought he knew enough to take care Of
himself and his dogs. and refused to ask as-
sistance Of the New Yorkers And he has
consequently suffered some inconvenience in
travelling which he otherwise would have
avoided. He Gays:
"The companies assign no place for the
transit Of dogs. and their cost 10 at the op-
ton of the baggage masters. This 10 al
wrong, and if not amended, it will deter me
and all England from ever bringing our
dogs with US, . fact which will keep us
away"
Oh dear. Then the country is lost. un-
less our railroad companies bull dog ken
nels on every train.

terday. that = shipment Of nearly forty
thousand bushels of barley was made by .

That's . pretty high figure for one day and

the weekly market review the receipts Of
wheat we're put at 1000 bushels for the
week, while the DExoCRAr reported 26,75O
bushels Where was the mistake that time?
Yesterday the shipments of wheat % report
cd by the Gazeste were 800 barrels. This
is the first shipment Of wheat in barrels that
We have heard of this season. The shipping
clerk at the levee reported SO sacks as the
only shipments yesterday. In the Gazette
Of Friday the receipts of wheat wer quoted
at SIS bushels; the DExoCsAr repor 5,l4O
bushels Which Was wrong that s,me p
Don't blame the type sticker for typogrsph'
ical errors, or We may take shelter under
the same excuse. We have not made it a
point to brag every other week Of our ex-
tensive commercial intelligence. and recom~
mend our paper to farmers - the only re-
liable one for correct market reports. but
Notwithstanding weca compare files favor
ably with the Gazette in this department, at
least for the last five months.
We are always willing to acknowledge
any mistake, but consider that We have the
privilege of returning the compliment occa.

MEETING AT CLEoNA.-A goodly
meeting Of both Republicans and Demo
