three hospitals would recover if returned
home, and that they will probably die If
compelled to remain. All the physicians

The packing generally falls behind last season s

the general condition OF the hogs is better than
had been expected. The state of the market at

The whispers and limitations which have been
passing among the knowing ones for some weeks,
that Congress would be recommended by the
Secretary of the treasury o increase largely the
duty on whisky, turns out to have been we'll
founded Herein is The secret cause which put
up % cents per gallon the price of whisky within
the last few weeks. For a time. it was thought
by some that the tax on whisky and tobacco was
too low. and gave reasons for it more than a
year ago. IL any further increase is made. it
should be not leSs than one dollar gallon on
whisky aud 5nc per pound on tobacco; and the
tax should be placed upon all the whisky dis
titled after this date II the matter is managed
