A correspondent of the Huntsville (Al.1

date of the 18th:
CAS- O general thing, business is stag

Money was never so regularly tight rs at
the present time; and that race OF animals
yclept 'shavers,' are harvesting n crop of
interest which will be the ruin of many

seen. We sincerely hope they may"
THE Hoo TRADE.-The Louisville (Ky.)
Courier of the 10th says:
"The packing season around the Falls
has nearly closed. Most of the houses
have quit operations, and the others will
close during the coming week. The mar
ket is dull and we quote hogs nominally
at 1915 to 6,25 net, and but few offering.
The hogs for this market have nearly all
arrived, and but few more expected. The
number this year will fall short of last
year by nearly 10000 hogs. Scattering
advices from Tennessee indicate that the
crop in that quarter will be as short as
was anticipated"
At Cincinnati on Saturday, the market
for hogs was reported rather heavy at the
close, with large receipts. The sales dur
ing the day amounted toabout G,000 head
at 1928 to Sc for light to heavy.

DEATH AT BALL.-The poor fellow who
was burnt in the Passage de POpera, at one of
the Paris masked balls, was commission mer-
chants clerk i'll the Rue Lafayette and his
master reckoned him the best bookkeeper in
the city Of Paris. He was an honest soul, and
a married man. He told his wife he would be
kept at the office all that Saturday night, for
heavy order was to be shipped early the next
morning. He went to the French comedy as
cldqueur, and atmidnight, the comedy being over,
off he went, gaily as a truant, to the costumer's
in the Passage de POpera, close to the theatre,
and attired himself in a rich costume nothing
less would suit him than the attire of marquis
of Lonis XIX's court, stiff with gold, lined with
satin, and all velvet, silk velvet, an please
sir Then he filled his pipe, and began to puff
away for very pleasure, at finding him, the
mill hack of home, the machine that added up
the great red columns of figures, and entered
and posted and balanced the great green-back-
ed in-foios Of 'the firm" tricked out in such
fine clothes-when, all of sudden, his happi-
ness was interrupted by flames his pipe had
set his flaxen wig on fire he tried to get it off
it was in vain His efforts but spread the
flames from wig to coat. He tainted away in
fright. A crowd-marquises, shepherdesses,
queens, and folks in plain clothes, assembled
around him; woman forced her way
through them, and screaming My hus-
band, my dear husband p and exerted her
self most connubially to extinguish the flames,
and as soon as she saw her husband reviving,
she ran off as fast as she could go to the near
est apothecary shop for unguent, and cream,
and lint. When the man had completely re-
vived, the police cheered him by telling him
his wife would be back presently. The intel
lgence, however so far from cheering the man,
came near causing him to go off into another
swoon-but he managed to mutter "My
wife ?" "Why, yes, poor wife--the tall bru-
nette who was with you" "Mon Dieu my
wife is blonde, and no higher than that"
"Really Then look in you pockets, and see if
you miss anything" "0h Mon Dieu Mon
Dieu Where is my purse, and my watch 2"
The poor fellow tainted away. The police
swore, and sent off men in every direction for
the "wite," and carried the unhappy book
keeper to neighboring hospital lie fingered
in intense agony until the next morning, when
he died The first news his wife had of her
husbands truancy, was news of his DEATH
