We easnot give any explanation Oh
the affair, and leave the mysterious
transaction withour readers: IN q.
"Jn the 9Th Of Nov. 1867, I was
in my store, sitting at,the DO nch r
pairing o watch. A gentlemen came
in and stood q. the shoV case. ]
looked up and recognized John Swab
key, being intimately acquainted
with him. I.was very much surpris
ed to see him, 40 I knew that he had
been confined in the Insane Asylum
at Mt. Pleasant. commenced talk
ing with him; asked him some ques.
tions and he answered without hest.
tation and nationally. asked him
if he intended staying here, and he
answered, eyes," He then went out
Of the store, and was met by Mr.. A,
t. Holly, who recognized and spoke
to him This was the last seen
of him in town, no one else saw him.
Now, on that same day, and at tho
same hour, John Swabky was confined
in the Asylum at Mt. Pleasant, some
sixty miles from here, as the follow
ing answer TO letter I Immediately
wrote TO Mr.. Ranney, the Supt. q
the Asylum will show:
"John Swabkey has been confined
in the hospital since the 1st of Nov
and has not boen out Of the hospital
nor OF the premises, since his con-
finement." i, ~.
Now. Mr.. Holly and myself, saw
and talked to John Swabkey on thu
9th day of November. Some ma,
say that, it was his brother; but tina
is not the case, as am intimately
acquainted with all his brothers, ant
have talked 70 them Of the singnlal

Now, isn't this = singular case?

Owing to tine recent change in the wealth
or. from warm to sSssle winter, . great
rush was made on the popular Clothing
House kept by Arnold a Co., for the finest
and best heavy overcoats In the market,
which they are selling cheap for cash.
Their store room WAS crowded all this
morning with purchasers, and we should
judge that they were doing about the
heaviest business Of any clothing house in
the city. Ifany of our readers desire any
thing in the line OF furnishing goods we
would advise them to go to Arnold's to buy
it. for you can do no better in Ottumwa.
Cali and soe them, and II you want to buy
you can get bargains.

George W. Phillips, Jr., in his Gin
cinnati provision circular, says that
during the past week in the market for
provisions there has been a continued
feeling of uncertainty as to the ulti-
mate future. The prospects ahead are
certainly gloomy. There is no English
demand, and if there were, it could not
be supplied at our current prices for
hogs, without loss to the packer. The
South is impoverished. They have
eaten up their last years crop and are
in no coalition to pay for their food,
without the assistance of factors, aud
the factors are not in condition to rem
derthem much aid. These facts, with
our prospectively large crop of hogs,
augur very unfavorably for profits at
the prices paid, and packers are anx-
ieuS to get rid of their stocks at almost
any reasonable offering price. This is a
sad state of affairs, but it exists and it
is useless to blind ourselves to the re-
atty. The general market closes tame
with more sellers than buyers at quota
tions below: Al
H0GS-The receipts to-day, 33l7; for
the week, 23,432, and for the season,
2s9, 772. Though the receipts are light
there is no animation in the trade and
prices have materially declined. Tie
best Offering prices to-day are 6 0Oa6 81
