THE nomination of General ROSE
GRAMS was not received with that en-
thusiasm in the Ohio Convention
which is an augury of success at the
polls. When it was announced that
the General was the nominee, Hon.
VIM. GLASS, of Hamilton County, one
of the Vice Presidents of the Conven-
tioH, rose,' says a correspondent,
and with carefully prepared words
that stung the Democratic body, now
tied hand aud foot, and made it writhe
as if suffering under scorpion stings.
These words congratulated the Demo-
cratic party on having nominated a
man who had put working men in
chsins in st. Louis.
It may be easily imagined what an
uproar these words occasioned. The
Convention failed to secure the Gus
tomary unanimous for the nomi-
nation, and no ratification meeting
was held in the evening to glorify
over the days work.

HI-l, Prices for HOES,

The excitement in the Hog market ior
both live and dressed, continues uuabated
and higher prices were obtained dutiag the
past week than during any previous week
this season, and the market is firm III The
close. High prices have been the order for
the whole season, and we sNrnise that farm
.rs will readily sell Hogs at 50 50@l0 ~ t +
live, and Sl2 0O0l2 80 for dressed while
corn is selling in this market for j0955c
How long these prices will prevail wc know
aot, but we predict the extreme figures will
be reached this month, as packers appear
more anxious to purchase, in order to make
products to I'LL contracts expiring during the
month OF February. If any farmer in The
West has suitable fat aud heavy lots Of hogs,
let him forward them 81 once. The lr0pa
hlities are that there will be many l0ua
days before our market will again sse such
high prices, especially when corn is seilh.
At such low figures. - Chicd9o Market Re

The capabilities Of tho lands around Nor

well shown by the following statistics col
lectcd by the Pathological Society Of that
city. 1t exhibits the various productions Of
the fruit and trucking farms in the neigh
borhood OF Norfolk, during the past year,
which have been sent from that port to the
Northern markets:

5000 barrels squashes.
1900 barrels beets
10000 punches radishes
100000 cantelopus.

practical organization. Its meetings have
been attended by body Of scientific as wei
as practical farmers, that can compare will
any in America. Great results have bcel
accomplished by these gentlemen compar
ing their various modes of cultivating fruits
and vegetables, as also by the spirit of i'm
proyement which they have infused into tt,
country around They have moreover beer
