Pittsburgh Live Stock Market.

PITTsBURGH, May O. 1S7I.
CATTLE.-The receipts for the week were
again large, footing up some $50 cars, but the
great proportion was through stock and con-
sequen'ly ly was not Thrown upon the market;
the supply, however, was fully up to the de-
mand and the market closes dull and weak
and prices, as compared with the early part OF
the week, are fully Il lower. There was not a
single sale during the week att cts and but very
few even atsH; last week good shipping steers
brought cts, several car loads having been
sold at that figure. The situation at present is
not favorable for those who are holding back
for higher prices; on the contrary, the tndica-
tons generally point to a still further decline.
SHEEP-The arrivals during the week were
liberal and average quality better than at any
time since clipping commenced, prices are u
on the common and medium grades. How
ever, there are none left over, the pens being
entirely cleared to-day SO that the prospects for
next week are not as bad as they might be. We
quote best, clipped at 5@51% good, 41l@41l; COM
mon, S1a@4. Best fine wooled, 611l9714; common
and coarse wooled sheep, $6,75@6,4J. Some Of
the most prominent operators are inclined to
think, for the present at least, that good sheep
will not go much lower, and that no further
decline is probable until grhssers commence to
arrive pretty freely.
HoGS.-There seems to be no bottom to the
hog market; prices have been declining stead
lily for several weeks past, and the bottom does
not yet seem to have been touched. We quote
at 1906 cts gross, for fair to prime heavy and
even at the decline the Inquiry Is light with
several lots left over unsold on Saturday.

Court Proceedings.

Little has been done thus far and no
body seems disposed Ito exert himself.
The Court takes things easy and does
not insist upon any departure from this
programme. One would suppose that
he was reserving his forces for the fall
campaign. If his charges against his
political opponents are of the character
of his charges to the jury, we may look
for warm contest.
THE GRAND JURY-Robert CIaudy
foreman-found two true bills against
Oliver Mayhugh and Henry Mayhugh
for grand Larceny. --A+ -l -.t

Jail as safe but damp for reason of

An Awful Story.

There was once an awful little cir
who had an awful way of saying saw
full to everything. She lived in an
awful house, in an awful street in an
awful village, which was an awful dis
tance from any other awful place. She
went to an awful school, whereshe had
an awful teacher, who gave her awful
lessons out of awful books. Every day
she was so awful hungry that she eat
an awful amount Of food, so that she
looked awful healthy. Eerhat was aw-
full small, and her feet awful large.
She went to an awful church, and her
minister was an awful preacher. When
she took an awful walk she climbed
awful hills, and when she got awful
tired she sat down under an awful tree
to rest herself. In summer she found
the weather awful hot, and in winter
awful cold. When it didn't rain there
was an awful drought and when the
awful draught was over there
was an awfli rain. So that this girl
was all time in an awful state, and if
she didn't get over saying ''awfnP'
about everything, am afraid she will,
by-and-by, come to an awful end.

WE have reason to believe that the
Enterprises account of the Row in
Hunts Hall was considerably exagger-
ated, and that the reflections cast upon
the Mayor were to some extent unjust.
The radical misrule which the Standard

illustrates the extremity to which dem.
ocratic papers are sometimes driven fol
political capital.

Phil. Sheridan, Mrs. Lincoln ana
- - - ssTatI.''

The steamship Russia arrived at New
York ON Wednesday evening, from
Liverpool, bringing Mrs. Lincoln, her
son Thadders, and General Philip HI.
Sheridan, among the. other passengers.
Both General Sheridan and Mrs. Lin
coin We're met at the landing and
warmly received by their friends
Sheridan was called on for speech,
but did not respond, at which a by
stander loosely remarked, she must
have an eye to the Presidency"
The General being "interviewed''
upon the Prussian war, said it
was his opinion that the cause of the
Prussian victories YVES mainly owing
to the superior organization of their
armies; their better supplies, and final
ly the united and patriotic spirit which
animated the Germans and sent them
forward to victory. AS to COM
parison of either the German or
French armies with the late volunteer
army of the United States, he would
not hesitate to say that the latter was
equal to either of the former, and did
more hard fighting than the Prussians or
French have done or probably will do.
Upon the subject of arms, he regarded
Iilo AuuSllCStii lLuploNSu SPINS AiNAN
rifle, or the Remington, or the Spencer
rifle, either one, as twenty years ahead
of the Chassepot or the needle-gun.-
The Prussians were only ahead in the
matter of breech-loading heavy ord
nance.
Mrs. Lincoln and "Tad" rode in the
cabin, and were. surrounded all the
way by anxious inquirers. Both were
exceedingly well, and talked cheerful
ly. Mrs. Lincoln has made her home
at Franfort, most of the time for the
/. past two years, and has been educating
| her son. Later she has resided in Lon
don, where her son attended school
again. ''Tad" being quite young
when heleftthe United States, and hav-
ing been kept constantly in the society
of Germans, has learned to speak the
language fiuently. In England he was
taken fOra German by every one he met,
and could scarcely convince them that
he was American.
