PROBABLE ADVANCE IN THE VALUE OF
PoRK.-There is every reason to believe that
before the next killing and packing season
arrives there will be very great advance in
the value of mess pork and hogs. The stock
of mess pork on hand in Chicago is only
$500 barrels. The stock in New York city
is but little over $4,000 barrels. There is
less pork in store generally through the
North than usual, at this time. A large por-
ton of that packed last winter, was shipped
to the South before the war broke out, the
Rebels taking every precaution to supply
themselves with food while they could. Our
army now in the field and camp, will need a
large quantity of pork, and the supply will
soon be found inadequate to the demand.
So firmly are holders convinced of this fact
that they decline to sell now, and wait for
the rise which they know must take place
1t will be well for farmeIs throughout the
State and the West generally, to make their
arrangements for fattening all the hogs they
can get hold of this fall. They will be al
most CERTAIN to get a good price for the pork,
daily Wisconsin,.

THE Wool TRADE-Wool is now sold at
Steubenvile at twenty three to thirty
cents per pound, according to quality. At
GAINESVILLE the stock offering is large, but
dealers are using unusual precaution, but in
price and quantity. The fine qualities are
almost unstable, except at very moderate
prices. The price varies from twenty to
thirty cents per pound. The Knox County
Banner says that a few sales of the new clip
have beer made, but at prices fifteen TO
twenty cents lower than last year. The
sales made range from eighteen to thirty
five cents per pound. The Delaware Gazette
says wool is being brought to market in con-
siderable quantities. The prices paid range
from eighteen to twenty-eight cents. The
Rarenna Democrat says wool is coming in
in small quantities, and the prices paid range
from twenty to thirty-fve cents, averaging,
probably, twenty-five cents. Some small
lots arc being purchased in Cambridge by
merchants at from twenty to thirty cents per
pound Cincinnati Times.

Midsummer,

midsummer.
Around this lovely valley rise
The purple hill of Paradise.
Oh. softly on yon banks ofhaZe
Her rosy face the Summer lays!
Becalmed along the azure sky,
The argosies of cloudland lie,
Whose shores, with many shining ri't,
Far of their pearl-white peaks up lift.
Through all the long midsummer day
The meadow sides are sweet with hay,
seek the coolest sheltered seat
Just where the field and forest mee',-
Where grows the pine-trees tall and bland,
The ancient oak austere and grand,
And fringy roots and pebbles fret
The ripples of the rivulet.
watch the mowers as they go
Through the tall grass, a white-sleeved row;
With even strokes their scythes they swing,
In tune their merry whetstones ring;
Behind the nimhe youngsters run
And toss the thick swathes in the sun;
The cattle Craze; WHILE warm and still,
Slopes the broad pasture, basks the hill,
And bright, when simmer breezes break,
The green wheat crnkles like lake.
The butterfly and humble-bee
Come TO the pleasant woods with me-;
Quickly before me runs the quail
The chickens skulk behind the rail,
u;gh nm the lone wood-pigeon sits,
And the woodpeckers pecks and fits.
- Sweet woodland music sinks and swells,
The brocket rings its tinklmg bells,
The swarmng Insects drone and hunt,
The partridge beats his throbbing drum.
The squirrel leaps among the boughs,
And chatters in his eafy house.
The oriole flashes by; and look
Into the mirror Of the brook,
Where the vain blue birds trims his coat,
Two tiny feathers fall and float.
As silently, as tenderly,
The down of peace descends on me,
oh, this is peace! l have no need
OF friend to talk, of book to read,
A dear Companion here abides
Close to my thrilling heart He hides;
The holy silence is his voice;
l lie and listen, and rejoice.

GRAss.-Consider that we owe to the grass,
to the covering of the dark ground by that
glorious enamel, by the companies OF those
soft. and countless, and peaceful spears
the fields! Follow but forth for little time
the thought of all we ought to recognize in
those words. All spring and summer is in
them: the walks by silent, scented paths,
the rests in MONDAY heat, the JOY OF nerds
and focks, the power of all shepefd lie anu
meditation; the life of sunlight upon the
world, falling in emerald streaks, and falling
in soft blue shadows, where else 1t would
have struck upon the dark mold, or scorcfl-
ing dust pastures beside the pacing brook,
soft banks and knobs of lowly hills, dreamy
slopes of down overlooked by the blue lines
of lifted sea crisp lawns all dim with early
dew, or smooth in evening warmth, with
barred shunshine, dinted by happy feet, and
softening in their fall the sound OF loving
voices all these are summed In these Smple
words, and these are not all. We may not
measure to the full depth of this heavenly
gift, in our own land; though still, as we
think of it longer, the infinite OF that meadow
sweetness, Shakspeare's peculiar joy, would
open upon us more and more, yet we have
it but in part. Go out in the spring time
among the meadows that slope from the
shores of the Swiss lakes to the roots OF
their lower mountains. There mingled with
the taller gentians and the white narcissus,
the grass grows deep and free; and as you
follow the winding mountain paths, beneath
arching boughs all yelled and dim with
BLOSSOM that forever droop and rise
over the green banks and mounds sweeping
down in scented undulation, to the blue water,
studded here and there with newmound
heaps, filing all the air with fainter sweet
ness,-look up toward the higher hills, where
the waves of evergreen roll silently into their
long inlets among the shadows Of the pines,
and we may perhaps know the meaning of
those quiet words of the l47,h Psalm: ale
naketh grass to grow upon the mountains"

THE CLARKE CAVALRY.

We find the following account in the Winchester Re-

metal
Upon the 18Th of October, 1861, Captain Il. NJ. Mel
son, while upon picket with his company at Annandale,
took fifteen Of his and SCI eff upon a foraging ex.
petition in the direction Of Alexandria. After having
advanced about and half miles beyond the pick
e. the party halted and Sergeant Gibson galoped
the hill to fad whether any the enemy were in
the vicinity. While advancing down thu road, he was
rayaid by party Of about fifteen twenty infantry
OF the enemy fred upon, bis horse killed. and he him
self dangerously wounded. The enemy gathered
around him while lying the road and several of them
wished to bdyoRst him, but prevented from doingso
By the corporal Of the party. In the meantime Capt
Nelson, having the firing, formed his men, dashed
over the bill into the midst of the enemy killed three
took Two prisoners aud pursued the remainder far as
he thought prudent TO 60. Seeing company of the
enemy coming the road to reinforce their men, Cap.
tain n sent some Of his back With the prisoners
and the wounded man, while he fell back slowly with
the remainder Of bis men, and by keeping bold front
towards the enemy prevented them from attakinp him
Taking everything into consideration superiority of
the numbers Of the enemy, and the nearness to their
lines this perhaps the brilliant skiruishes
that has taken place between the two armies.
