PORK.


We yesterday visited the leading packing
houses, and found transactions very light.
Considering the favorableness of the weather
little pork has been cut up so far this season.
The price, net, yesterday, was ga &c; gross,
tic, but the farmers and hog rai>crs. iniiu-
cnced probably by the prospect for hong con-
tinued war in Europe, are looking for higher
rates, and holding ON to their pork. 1T is
estimated that there are three times is MANY
fat hogs in the State, there has ever been
before, and they are OF superior quality.
One packer informs us that he took trip
through the interior of the county. and
found many farmers holding for Sc, some for
at, and few confidently anticipating Zoe.
Judging from the tone Of Eastern markets,
I'll such high hopes will BE- vain.
{ lev wagon loads OF dressed hogs come in
every day, but are generally ny small rai-crs
who are compelled To sell III once. Ii Is ex-
pcc;el tina, a heavy business will be done in
rhis line here this winter as the facilities are
at hand for packing hogs in almos. unlimited
numbers. Ii the present very favorable
weather continues VIC may look for a great
amount Of pork TO come in within a month.
We copy the following from the 81; Louis
Rpabiiean of Monday:
HoGs.-The week opened with a strong
demand and active movement in hogs. with
~cry favorable weather for Strengthening and
packing, and several of our packers took hold
si:h avidity. This condition of things con-
siuucd up 70 the latter part OF the week, when,
under the influence Of large arrivals and sup
piles, the market became rather dull and
depressed, and gradually recc,ied from fifty
10 scventy-fou cents per 100 lbs gross. At
this decline, however, the demand has been
-.cadv and fair, but not remarkably sharp or
laIovan,, and packers have shown slow and
rather curious policy. The rates demanded
l,y sellers not being satisfactory to packers.
they continue to purchase rather cautiously.
The closing prices for the week were from SO
20 So % for prime to extra packing qualities. |

A Three-Acre Farm.

Ten years ago, an Irishman-who, for short,
we will call ST. Nick-boaght' three acres Of
land, for which he paid, with one story new
house thereon, four hundred aud fifty dollars
counting thctensnen. three hundred and seven
ty-fye, and the hand The balance.
Hiring pasture, he purchased a COW, and
with serene faith began to work in his new
bought soil. 1t was worn out: 4 poor pasture:
it would not summer a two-yoar-oli steer, aud
the rent youldhaTe been considered exorbitaut
If over four dollar year.
He has since added two acres of rocky bush
pasture, but with better soil than hispurohase,
and in addition to the crops raised or both, he
annually hires SIS worth Of pasturing, ani
buys S25 worth Of hay.
Last year, with his frs. purchase and one
acre Of his las: under cultivation, he raised
actual measure,l Of potatoes, one hundred and
ten bushels of corn, eightyfvo bushels Of
, ears Of beans, three bushels and three pccks /;
of cabbage seven hundred heads besides
twenty-one bushels Of oats, and little over
one ton and half Of cloYer-hay. as.
lie fattend two hogs one Of which sold for
14I cents pound, aud weighedthrcs hundred
and four pounds; the other, sailed foT himself,
weighed three bundrad and one pounds. His
dairy, now Increased to two cows, brought him
little over 500 in cash for the butter sold, and
/ S2l.43 for two calves. ..
HIS dozen hens average bought nearly all
the store supplies for family Of three, besides
paying for their food. Aud, in addition to all
this he raised calf, which a neighbor gave
him, that enters upon its second summer,
worth at least Sls. o.
All this from the labor OF man quite ad-
varcei in years, and physically incapable Of
doing much moro than half mans work.
lie bonght the house and land mostly on
credit has bis debts uow nearly paid has
doubled in value Of both bis purchases, and
when his labor is over, will leave his wife and
daughter quite little estate worked out Of
this sterile, root-bound and rock-bound soil in
ten years 80

at least fifty loads Of manrre, two cows and

said that more than two thousand names have

least sI thousand newly-regiSiered voters, five

will vote the democratic ticket. There arc
three or four thousand more whom the boards
of registration will be required to put upon
their list at their meeting on the FIRST Monday

THE OLD CHERRYwooD CLOCK.

1t has ticked with the bell,
That wedding could tell,
1t has ticked, keeping time with the song
1t has licked at the birth
OF soul brought to earth, :
To battle and grow with the strong.
1t has ticked through the night,
When the small, shaded light
Saw the weary, fond watchers above,
With the breath dying fast,
Ere the life-lease was past,
OF parent or child whom they love.
1t has ticked to the tread
As they carried the dead
Through the old-fashioned hallway door
And it licked right along,
Just as steady and strong,
When the funeral service was Ger.
IT'S an honest old hand
With a dingy brass band,
Tracing round the old dial each day,
Butt seems to foretell,
With a mystic spell,
bow swiftly our lives pass away.
lis au heir loom at best,
Looking odd with the rest
OF the modern apparel and ware,
With its wondering gaze,
At the present odd ways

There's problem to solve,
As the hands slow revolye:
Whether modern folks, manners and all,
Are as true and as good
As theold folks so rude,
Whose hands placed the clock in the hall.

The circumstances attending the recent exc

horrible. a drop Of fourteen feet had been ar
ranged, in Difference to the opinion Of learned
professor, with the view Of producing instan-
taneous death by dislocation. The result was
that the body fel to the full extent Of the rope,
and then with a sudden snap the head was
wrenched of and flung distance Of several
feet to one side Of the yard, while the trunk,
ghastly mass with the nerves twitching con-
vulsiyely, dropped to the other side. Death
was undoubtedly instantaneous.

and surely be cured by applying good coat Of

Which readily cured him in a few weeks.
