bers The price of hogs had been kept up.
there to 56@5Ss y cwt. but q serious de-
cline was expected aud latest advices BY
cable report that the price had fallen in
Belfast 30 49s with large receipts and that
larger receipts and still lower prices were
predicted, and that lard was offering in
Liverpool for next weeks delivery at Cos;
and at 62s Sd for December delivery. I'm
less at very low prices there is little chance
ofeven moderate European demand; and
a very considerable increase in the exports
ought to be looked for, to enable us to get
nd of the surplus we are likely to have in
this country.
The receipts of hogs for the week sum
up live 27,947, dressed IL, total 27,95S;
and the shipments live 12,121, dressed
none, total II, 121; leaving 10, S37 head for
packers, city use, and number left over in
the pens. For the corresponding week
last year the receipts were live IS, 1853,
dressed mono, total As, 469; and the ship
ments live 16,69S, dressed none, total 49,
69S; leaving for packers, city use, etc,
%, III. The packing to the present time
sums up IS, 900 against 80, 921 in 1869, and
5,347 in 1868. The market for hogs adj
vanced to S7.50@7 so gross for light to
choice, but again fell off, and closes to-day
very weak at Sc 50@6 70 for light to com
mon, $7@7.05 for smooth bacon hogs, and
81. 1O@7.75 for choice and heavy weights
There is no market for dressed, yet the
supply is insignificant, city butchers take
the few coming in. With the advance in
the price of hogs the pretentions of pack
ers to higher prices for products have been
developed. The stock of old mess pork is
almost entirely exhausted, the little here
is held at $2f@24 80. New closes quiet
but firm at $2l.25 cash; 1925 for De-
cember; $40 for December and January;
$1925 for January; $19.25 for February;
SO seller for six months. Since the ad-
vance, the business in future options has
fallen off considerably. Prime mess scarce
at 800 for present and $19 for forward de-
livery. Extra prime held at $3.50
Rump scarce at $15.50@16. Meats have
been in very active demand and the few
now in process of curing have been all
taken up for delivery ten to twenty day.

The Memphis Appeal recently stated
that the Mr.. Prichatd, Superintendent of
the New Orleans and jackson Railroad,
who was killed by Q ,nductor Ellsworth,
was Col M. Il. Pnchard, formerly of this
State, now Of Montgomery, Ala, one Of the
leading civil engineers and railroad men OF
the South. This was copied into our news
items. The next day We corrected the
statement, knowing that it could not be
true, as we had seen Col M b. Prichard
but a few days before, and knew that he
was not the Prichard who was on the New
Orleans Reil,oad.
Col N. b. Pnchard, who is subscriber
Of the UNION AND AMERICAN, has seen the
notice OF his death, and writes us the fol-
lowing contradiction of the report:

ing my faith in yoa little too much. You
say / was shot and killed in New Orleans
on the 9TH inst. by a little man named
Ellsworth, and he a conductor. Now /
solemnly aver that l am not dead. have
not been shot; / have not been in New
Orleans these three years; know no little
man by the name Of Ellsworth, and de-
cidedly object to your having me shot by
him, or any other little map; and if you
are not fully prepared for Virginia fresh~
ct, please check the Niagara of tears from
my mourning friends by announcing that
still live and am yours, very truly,
NJ. B. PRIcHARD
Col. NJ. b. Prichard has host of friends

The Knoxville Wing and Register of the
10th inst, has the following announce
ment of wedding that occurred on the
evening previous;
"a large number of the most respecta-
bic and fashionable ladies and gentlemen
of this city, upon invitation, assemble d
last evening at the residence of the brides
mother, TO witness and honor the matri-
monial alliance, solemnized by Rev.
Thos. w. Humes, D. D., between Maj.
Thos. OConner and Miss Fannie House,
both of Knoxville. The company passed

wish, and the preparation of the sideboard
and the viands of the table were all that
the heart could desire or the palate indulge
in.
Maj OConner is one of our most
prominent, enterprising and influential
citizens, and his bride among our most
lovely and accomplished women. The
bride and groom were the happiest of the

Seizure of NhIsHy.

On Wednesday night quantity Of whis
ky was seized by the United States autho-
mites, under the following circumstances:
Mr.. X. II. Holman, of Lincoln county,
brought TO this city fifteen barrels of whis-
ky, and three half barrels, and, as we are
informed, asked MeSsrs. Bailey 4 Sperry
10 purchase The whisky. This, for some
reason 20 us unknown, they refused 10 do:
and Holman, after fruitless attempt 20
sell the whisky TO other parties, procured
the services of an auctioneer and sold the
liquor on the street Certain parties con-
neeted with the Office of the Collector of
internal Revenue in this city, inquired in
TO the matter, and requested Holman to
allow them the privilege of inspecting the
whisky, and this, We are told, Holman re-
used 10 allow them 10 do. The law re-
qulred, as il is claimed, that when the bar
rela of whisky were shipped from Lincoln
county they should have been accompanied
by the proper coupons The officers de-
sired 10 ascertain whether this law had
been complied with, and AS this was re
fused, the whisky WIS detained. Holman
was taken before United States Commits
si0ner Noah yesterday, and required 30
give bond in the sum of one thousand
dollars, Tor hlS appearance at the next
term Of the United States Court
We are informed that Holman told the
officials that he would send the coupons
up on Saturday: but AZ Holman refused 20
allow the revenue officers 10 examine into
The matter, warrant was issued by Com
missioner Noah, resulting AZ above mon
toned. We are also informed that five
barrels of this whisky had previously been
bought Of Cheatham x Kinney, of this
city, shipped TO Lincoln county. and then
re-shipped 10 Nashville The whisky was
purchased OF the auctiOneer AZ Lincoln
county whisky, but it is surmised that
perhaps the entire lot was purchased here,
and sent TO Lincoln county, and then ship
ped back here are genuine Lincoln county
whisky. However this may be the revenue
officers considered the sale as suspicious.
and acted As we have Just stated These
are facts as obtained from the revenue
officers. From what We know of MIR. IIoI-
man, We presume he had no disposition to
evade the law, and when the matter comes
mp for investigation will give such evidence
as TO relieve him from the charge made.
