Louisville Live Stock nIarke,,

LOUISVILLE, May Owing to the pleas.
ant weather for the past four days the
arrivals of all kinds of live stock have been
small. This is the busiest season for the
farmer and stock raiser-they are hard al
work putting in their crops, and conse-
| quently they do not take the time to bring
TO market their products. This will not
last long, as they are now nearly through
| Planting, and so soon as they are we look
| to see the market well supplied with all
classes of stock.
CATTLE-There were less than one hun
dred head on sale to-day, and not more
| than one-third the number that are usually
on the market on Mondays. They were all
sold by two O'Clock, the market closing
| active with not enough to meet the wants
of butchers. Unless a good many arrive
in the next two or three days, we look to
see the market advance. There is but
little inquiry for this class of stock outside
of the butchers market; shippers are not
anxious to buy at the prices asked; in fact.
they claim that good beeves sell as high
here as they do in New York, adding ex-
penses, SO that there is no maIgin left for
them after they get TO markets east of here.
There were few fancy beeves on sale; those
offered were mostly of the common and
extra grades We now give grades and
prices: Fancy grades consist of Durhams
and half-breeds, weighing from 1,2O0 to
1000 pounds, well fatted and smooth; they
sell at 7.00@7. so. Extra and choice con-
sist of cows, heifers and steers that are fat;
they sell at G. 5O@7. 90; feshy steers, COWS
and heifers sell at 5000 90; oxen 5000
$50; common tailings consist of all classes
that are thin in flesh; they sell at 8 50@4O0
2 100 lbs gross. Fresh milch-cows are in
demand and sell readily at 80 00@4O 90 for
common to medium and good to choice
so 00@6O. 90 q head.
SHEEr-Are doing we'll As the demand
is equal to the supply and all sell as fast as
they arrive, we quote for common to thin

following statement of the law and edicts
of the internal revenue department in re-
gard to the cancellation of stamps:

The Deer Chase.

The deep-mouthed stag-hound's heavy bay
Resounded up the rocky way,
And faint, from farther distance borne,
We're heard the changing hoof and horn.
The autler'd monarch of the waste
sprang from his heathery couch in haste,
But ere his feet career he took,
The dew drops from his TANKS he shook;
moment listened to the cry
That thickened as the chase drew nigh;
Then, as the headmost foes, appeared
With one brave bound the copse he cleared.
Yelled OH the view the opening pack
Rock, glen and cavern paid them back.
These lines were brought wildly to our
mind yesterday morning by participating in
a very exciting chase of large buck at the
fair grounds. He was within the enclo-
sure, from which he could not escape, and
huntsmen, horses and hounds started in
pursuit with bark and whoop, and wild
halloo." The dogs bayed deep and strong,
the many horns rang out their peal and
the voices Of the hunters joined in the
shout The sport was thrilling and excit-
ing in the highest degree. After lively
chase of an hour the dogs we're called of
before the breath was mustered for the
death halloo, and the gallant stag was per-
mitted to retire in peace.
Those contemplating visit to the ap-
preaching fair will be pleased 20 learn thst
a grand stag chase, and also fox hunts are
to be features of the occasion. A red and
a gray fox, and full grown buck are all
in training for the sport.
