The Produce Markets.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel, 25th inst.
Receipts of breadstuffs continue to i'm
crease, and for the past week 2l ,O34 bar
rels of -four and 249,O34 bushels wheat
are reported, against e,gl6 barrels -four

held here is reputed at | ,l23 600 bushels,
against 66i 900 bushels on the same day

grains have not experienced material fuctu

Hogs and provisions have recovered
from the depression noted at the close ol

THE WAR In PARAGUAY.-A Rio Ja-
nerio letter of December 23d confirms the
account Of the rout of Lopez and his army
at Veletta. The Brazilian loss is placed at
1000, but il is understood that the emper>
or admits it to have been much greater.
Angostura had not yet been attacked,
but division was marching against it.
Minister Mcmahon is reported to have
come to an understanding with Lopez, and
the steamer Wasp has returned to Bueros
Ayres.
Later intelligence than the above shows
that Lopez has not been annihilated but
has retreated to a strong position in the in
terror, where he will continue his defence.

against the fortress of Veletta, which COW
cred six days, says that his losses were ter

BURGLARY IN CALUMET COUNTY
We learn from the Chiffon Times that on
Wednesday night, the Goth inst, the coun-
ty treasurer s safe in Calumet county was
broken open with a crowbar and cold chisel,
and over $1,I00 were stolen. The books
and papers were strewn about the floor. At
the time of the robbery there was $1,000
in county orders and court scrip which the
scoundrels left As yet there is no clue to
the burglars. The county board has offer
ed reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the thieves, and $500 in ad-

William Cullen Bryant, in his response
to toast at the Morse Banquet, recently.
spoke thus eloquently and truth
fully of the mutual relations and services
of the press and the telegraph: ''fo the
press the electric telegraph is an invention
of immense value. Charles Lamb, in one
of his papers, remarks that a piece of
news which, when 1t left Botany Bay was
true to the letter, often becomes a lie be-
fore it reaches England. 1t is the advan-
tage of the telegraph that it gives yon the
news before circumstances have had time
to alter. The press is enabled to lay it
fresh and true before the reader. 1t comes
to him like a steak hot from the gridiron,
instea1 of being cool and rendered aavorless
by slow journey from distant kitchen.
A battle is fought three thousand miles
away, and we have the particulars while
they are taking the wounded to the h0spl-
tai. A great orator rises in the British
parliament, and we read his words almost
before the cheers of his friends have ceas-
ed. An earthquake shakes San Francisco,
and we have the news before the people
who have rushed into the streets have re-
turned to their houses. | am afraid that
the columns of the daily newspapers would
now feel fiat, dull and stale to the reader,
were it not for the communications of the
telegraph. But while the telegraph does
this for the press, the press in some sort
returns the obligation. Were it not for
the press, the telegraph, being repeated
from mouth to mouth, from the moment
of its arrival, would begin to lose some
thing of its authenticity. Every rumor
propagated orally at last becomes false.
Mr.. President, you are familiar with the
personifcation of rumor by the poets of
antiquity -at first of dwarfsh size and
rapidly enlarging bulk till her feet sweep
the earth and her head is among the clouds.
The press puts Rumor into straight jacket,
swathes her from head to foot, and so re-
strains her growth. 1t transcribes the
messages of the telegraph in their very
words, and thus prevents them from being
magni6ed or mutilated into lies. 1t pro
tects the reputation of the telegraph for
veracity.'

RIVERS AND HARBoRs. The river and
harbor bill, passed by the House last June,
was favorably reported on the 9th by the
Senate Committee on Commerce, with
amendments materially reducing the APP
propriations. The amounts for given points
are as follows: Chicago harbor, $l3, 200 !;
Milwaukee, $4,000; Kenosha and Racine,
10000 each Cleveland, $4,000; Upper
Mississippi, $4,000; Des Moines Rapids,
$500, 900; Rock Island Rapids, $44 900 /;
Ohio River improvement, $4,000.
Among the appropriations entirely
stricken out are Illinois River, 500, 900,
and Louisville Canal, S450,000.
1t will be seen that no appropriation
is mentioned for Manitowoc. We suppose
that Mr.. SAWYER has gone back on this
place.

How TO KILL A ToWN-An exchange
paper gives the following true recipe how to
kill town:
''If you wish to kill off town. put up no
more buildings than you are obliged to oc
cupy yourself If you should accidentally
have an empty building, and any one
should want to rent it, ask about three
times its actual value Look at every new
comexwith a scowl Turn cold shoulder
to every business man and mechanic who
seeks a home among you. Go abroad for
wares rather than purchase of your own
merchants and manufacturers at the same
prices Refuse to advertise, so that per
sons at distance will not know that any
business is being done in your city. A
prompt and close observance of these rules
will ruin any town in two years.
