G.. &. o. CANAL.-Boas are not arriving so
rapidly as was expected. 1t is reported that
on Tuesday night there was quite a jam Of boats
at Harper's Ferry, which probably accounts
for the small number of arrivals. There is
great complaint of low water in the canal A
meeting of the Board of Directors of the Canal
was held at their rooms in Washington yester-
day, and in the afternoon they visited George
town, with view Of inspecting that portion of
the canal. They will also examine the waste
ways Of the aqueduct, in reference to the
charge that they are more or less the cause Of
low Water In the canal.

MOSQUITOES. The mosquito invasion Of
this year will long be remembered; and as an
evidence of the immense numbers of the in
sects which now infest this locality, the follow
ing truthful incident is mentioned On Sun
day evening last, as gentleman was returning
to this city, from buggy drive in the sur
rounding country, he saw smoke issuing from
all the cracks and crevices of small house on
the side of the road, the doors and windows of
which were closed as though the inmates were
absent. While wondering what to do under
the circumstances, he was joined by country
man, going out Of town, and, upon consultation,
the two determined that the house was on fire,
and that as the occupants were evidently not
at homo to open the doors, the only plan to be
adopted by which the flames could be cxtin-
guished would be to break them open, and this
they proceeded at ouce to do. but had not
struck the door with battering- ram more
than three times when it was suddenly opened
from within by man, who upon seeing them,
asked in an angry tone what in the hi they
meant. His anger was assuaged,' however,
upon hearing their answer, when he told them
that the smoke was caused by his efforts to kill
the mosquitoes.

main unchanged. Prices to-day ranged as to-
lows: Good to extra tat Sheep at 33a45 cts.
ID gross Stock Sheep 2a$S per head. Lambs
2 5Oa$3 so per head.
Hogs-The supply Of hogs during the past
week, especially Of good qualities, has been
rather light, and under good demand rates
have advanced fully 25 cts per 100 lbs Prices
to-day ranged as follows: Fair to good live
Hogs at l5aSl5 per 100 lbs net-the market
closing firm.
The WESTERN Hoe TRADE.--The Cincin
bati Price Current says SO Stock hogs are
abundant, and the excellent pasturage viii put
them in fine condition for feeding this tall, and
as it is now almost certain that the corn crop
will be large, an increased supply of pork may
be looked ior the coming season, and should
prices not rule too high, there will be good
demand from the English and Continental
markets. Indeed, we notice some indications
of this already: There have been no contracts
made for the future to indicate anything, and
there is not much desire TO make any. Sales
could not be made but at rates much below
those now current, and yet none are wiling to
sell much below the current rates. 1t Is rather
early now however, to expect much to be done
in this line"
