Allegheny Cattle Market.
ALLEGHENY, Sept. %.

HHNhSNA1 . IocpA' Asus
CATTLE-There was a good supply
OF cattle on sale this week, amounting
TO nearly eleven hundred head, The
market, however, differed but little
from that Of last week. Perhaps, tax.
ing the number into confederation, the
quality was not quite SO good, and now,
as then, while prime fat cattle sold
readily, and that, too, at full prices, the
lower grades were very abundant, and
could only be sold at very low figures,
We do notsay that good butchers stock
sold for any more than last week, but
we feel satisfied that they brought fully
as much, and larger, number OF this
kind could have been sold. Prime to
extra fat steers sold at from 7fc to 7S<a
Sc; good to medium At 6A7c, and stocks
ers at 4a5Hc, according TO quality and
condition. Fresh COWS sold at from $50
10 S75. There was large number OF
Pennsylvania cattle on sale, though
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois were also
pretty we'll represented, and It look ed
at IL O'clock, a. NJ, US II there would be
good many left over unsold, though
sometimes large number OF cattle are
sold during the last hour or two OF the
market-some buyers holding of until
near noon, hoping thereby 10 be en-
Rbled to buy cheaper. :,
SHEEP AND LAMDs.-There was a
very full supply on sale, larger than
during any preceding week for months,
Z, 400. and, as might be expected, the
market was rather slow, particularly
for the lower grades, OF which the olIer-
ings mainly consisted, Prime fat
sheep, however, were scarce, and
brought full prices, say 41fa6c per ID.
HoGs-The change in the weather has
produced an improved retail demand,
though as yet 1t is by no means active,
and prices remain unchanged. Stock
hogs may be quoted at 9halONc, and
fat hogs at l0fa1lck.

Of tho composition OF this beverage,

ram. These are first macerated and
placed In hlgh-proof alcohol for eight
days before dIsLillatIon; after being
distilled, the liquor is made Of good
color by adding indigo, sulphate Of cop.
per, and other chemical Ingredients.
In addition to the polsons often put
In for colorlng, volatile oils are evolved
In distilliug which are vlrulent polsonH,
and an eminent French physiclan says
that taken into the human system, II
produces a general poisoning, which
terminates In insanity and death. Yet,
In spite OF It's known effects, It attracts
a host OF worshIppers and victims.
Thousands Of persons may be seen on
the BOulevards In front of the cafes on
fine afternoons, slipping this green
liquor as q tonic TO sharpen the appetite
for dinner. Wofkmen drink Il In the

death and insanity, the result OF its

Paris: and, on the tombStones OF not a

1t Is reported by physicians that alb

that It's fatal effects should be known
before the fatal habit OF indulgence
