extensive Tobacco growing region sur
rounding Evansville, and with our lal ge
and intimate acquaintance in the adJace at
counties OF Kentucky, and the encourage
ment and many facilities afforded by our
city, we are confident that our efforts will
be speedily crowned with success
farge majority of the planters in this
section have never priced their tobacco for
the reason that they have had no Home
Market where they could be present and
witness its sale, and besides, most planters
are not prepared to prize their own crops
sFortheir convenience we will complese

pIize tobacco upon reasonable terms,
Then each Pldnt4r can accompany
his Hogsheads, and see them Inspected,
Weighed and Sold, and return Home
acithAt the Proceeds.
Our manner OF selling tobacco will be
so conducted as to insure satisfaction.
Each hogshead will be sampled and sold
separately upon its own merits, to the
highest bidder at public auction.
NOb only planters Dub dealers VIII ma

SCARCITY OF DWELLING HOUSES. The ur-
gent want of moderate sized dwelling houses
such as would rentfor from $40 to SIS month
in this city, has heretofore been frequently
noticed in the columns of the Gazette, but is
again alluded to from its pressing necessity. A
young married man. obtaining the usual, but linn
tied salary, Informed the reporter to day that he
had hunted the city through for house Of the
description mentioned above, but without sue
cess, and that unless he could procure one of the
character desired, he would be compelled to 60
away,as his means would not allow him to go to

few of their unemployed thousands in the
erection of houses of the desired character
they would run 10 risk Of making Q good per
