That Mysterious Noise.

From the BarnesylllS Enterprise,
The mysterious noise heard in this Vi.
cinity about two weeks ago, was evident
" the explosion Of a mGtGoric stone. The
Cadiz Republican thinks the explosion oc.
Cured southwest Of that place. 1t is
strange, however, that the exactspOt can
not be ascertained, when so many people
at q distance heard the noise. The noise
occurred at various places between Cadiz
and Caldwell, and was probably loudest
at Barnesville, as this appears 10 have
been tho centre Of the region that heard
this particular piece Of "heaven's, artil'
lery." .....

BALTploRE, March I, 1871. y
We are glad to announce to our friends
that the preliminaries Of peace between
France and Germany have Just been sign
ed, and we have no doubt that this will
have abeneaclal influence on the tobacco
trade, which has been depressed for some
time. "H.n
Our Mr.. B. lias just returned from his
trip 10 Ohio. So lar US he could ascer.
tain, he thinks the crop will fall short
about 1000 llhds. Of former estimates, and
will amount to from ID, 1000 10 10000 hhds.
lie also found the Fancy Yellow and
SpMngletl Grades very scarce, and more o!
the Red and Brown descriptions In the
crop than was generally antici,
pated. These latter grades being
suitable Tor the French market, we
look upon this as favorable for tho crops,
The French are our largest customers for
Ohio tobacco, aud as they did not get
their last years contracts filled by nearly
5000 hhds., they have no doubt consumed
the greater portion Of their old stock dur.
ing the war, and We should suppose that
they will need a fair amount Of OHIO to.
hacco the coming season. g.t
Ourmarket has been quiet for tho past
month, and home manufacturers have been
the only buyers. 'a"t .lsiI
The total Inspections Of Ohio amount
to 919 hhds. against 100 ,hhds same time
last year. SO far only a few hhds. Of Tie
new crop have been sold. ~" . -' e..
