REMARKS.
The receipts at Cambridge this week were about
1000 head, or $50 more than last week from Al
bany $50; from Maine nearly 500, and some 50
Rhode Island and State cattie-a total of 900
head, or some 100 more than last week. The ay-
erage size and quality Of the whole stock are very
good, indeed. Among the first lots at Cambridge
the 40 head belonging to Dudley & French, % OF
which were estimated to dress 1900 pounds each,
were sold to 5. $. Learnard at 49,. TO lie. 4 u.
OF these one pair as black as minks and AS fine
as offers, which were tatted by Mr.. G. II. Dudley
Of Windsor, VT, weighed 4,724 lbs, home and
1910 lbs at Cambridge. They were in all respects
premium pair. Four Others were fatted by G..
II. French in Hartland, VT Mr.. Shackett Of Vt.
also had some extra oxen. One pair, fatted by
John Pierce of Clarendon, weighed, 1890 lbs.I ut
home. One par from Maine were supposed to
weigh near 5000 lbs Another pair, very fine,
weighed i,l70 on the Brighton scales The large
supply of cattle had given the buyers n better
choice than they had last week and many of the
drovers say this advantage has been used against
them 50 as to reduce prices on fair to good oxen
from / TO &c. 2 D.. Last week the d.oyers had
everything their own way, while this week the
butchers are less anxious to buy, and the unex-
pectedly large receipts cause them to dread its ef
iects on the meat market. Nest of the focks of
sheep at market this week are fair TO good, with
little change in prices. Sales at 4. AZ, Az, s. 5k

Chinese StreetJuggIers.

Street juggers and mountebanks abound
in Canton, and in fact in every Chinese city.
They also travel from place to place throug-
out the country, displaying their feats aid
picking up a little cash here and Il ere. Asa
general thing their Juggling feats do not
amount to great deal, yet some of them are
very clever and would create as much of q
theatrical ftlrore in the United States as did
the Japanese performers. Sword swallowing
and stone-eating appear to be the commonest
ieats, and operators of this description can be
seen in almost every street One fellow, how
ever, performed n number of feats in front Of
our hotel which demand from me more than
passing notice. He stationed himselfi in the
center OF the street and having blown blast
upon buglc to give warning that he was
about to begin his entertainment lie took
small lemon or orange tree which was cover
ed with fruit, and balanced it upon his lead.
He ten blew n sort of chirriping whistle,
when Immediately number of rice birds
came from every direction and settled upon
the boughs of the bush he balanced or hutter-
cd about his head. He then took cup in
his hand and began to rattle some seed in it
when the birds disappeared Taking small
bamboo tube, he next took the seeds, and put
ting one in it blew it at one of the fruit when
it opened, and out flew one of the birds which
luttered about the circle surrounding the
performer. He continued to shoot his seeds
at the oranges until nearly n dozen birds were
released. He then removed the tree from his
forehead, and setting it down took up a dish,
which he held above his head, when all the
birds flew into it. Then he covered it over
with cover, and giving it whirl or two
about his head, opened it and displayed
quantity of eggs, the shells of which he broke
with little stick, releasing bird from each
shell. The trick was neatly performed, and
defed detection from eyes
The next trick was equally clever and diff
cult of detection. Borrowing handkerchief
from one of tfe spectators, he took an orange,
cut small hole in it, then squeezed all the
Juice out and cammed the handkerchief into
| it. Giving the handkerchief to bystander
to hold, he caught up teapot. and began to
pour q cup of tea from it, when the spout be-
came clogged. Looking into the pot appa-
rently for the purpose of detecting what was
the matter, he pulled out the handkerchief,
and returned it to the owner. He next took
the orange from the bystander and cut it
OPEN and it was found to be full of rice, He
performed u number of very pleasing teats
but have given enough to satisfy t Q reader
that they arc equally as experts as the Japa-

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
On noint In the Grant-Johnson 90

One point in the Grant-Johnson cor
respondence Is Of peculiar signi6csace.
Grant admits that he took aud kept the
war Office until Stanton could be rem,
stated, for fear that the President would
appoint some person who woald enoar-
rass the reconstruction measures OF Con,
gress The old leaven Of malice and
bitterness here exhibits itself lfthereis
any one man in this country Grant fears
and dislikes most supremely, that manis
John A. McClernand, OF our city and
State. He has good reason "a. fear MN,
for no one has been more shameiuily
treated BY another, than Gen. Mco'
by Grant. An injury inflicted I'M
Justly upon another, makes the
wronp-doer an implacable enemy
Of him whom he Injuries. Besides,
Grant knows the energy, ability and de.
yotion 10 country, of McClernand, and
knows that he now wears laurels prop,
erly belonging to that distinguished
statesman and soldier This knowledge
makes him the inveterate enemy OF Nee,
and fearing that the President intended
TO call him to the War Office, he consents
10 make himself the tool of Radicals,
the double faced schemer, the inconti-
'nent falsifer, and the disgusting object
at which the finger Of scorn may be
pointed throughout all time.-Sprfng-

TIE Louisville Courier says: Negro

TIE Louisville Courier says; Negroes
are coming into Kentucky from Missis-
sippi and other Southern States in such
numbers that the people Of some of the
counties are seriously annoyed by them.
Ifthis sort Of immigration continues, it
will be an inducement to Congress to
.reconstruct the State. Heretofore,
even the outrage of epfranchising the
negroes, and DISTINGUISHING those who
participated in the rebellion, would have
failed to give the Radicals the control.
