COMMERCIAL REPORTS.
Pittsburgh Live Stock Market.

CATTLE-The receipts for the we elk ending
were unusually small, l5o cars, and notwith-
standing, the feeling was little better than it
has been for several weeks, the supply, never
thcless, was in excess of the demand, which Is
evident from the fact that twenty-three car
loads were shipped through 10 Philadelphia in
first hands. When We say the market was a
shade better, 1t must not be inferred chat there
was any advance in prices. for such was not the
case. The Improvement, IL such 1t can be call
ed, consisted in this that eastern shippers gen.
orally were more disposed to buy than for some
two or three weeks. though, at the same time,
they were unwilling to pay an advance. No
droves were sold above 81, some few retailed at
6A@7 Stock Cattle less active and weaker the
recent decline in fat cattle having cut down
the demand very materially.
Hoes.-Receipts unusually light this week,
IS loads this is the lightest of hogs at these
yards in any preceding week since last fall
Notwithstanding the very light receipts, how
ever. the demand was fully up to the supply
and the market has been, all things considered
one Of the hardest of the season. As compared
with last week. prices have declined y to cent

delphia at ~
SHEEf.-The arrivals of sheep were again
light this week and the supply was not up to
the demand, hence a lively market, and all the
different grades brought an advance of from
| Il to 4 n cent, as compared with last week.
Good heavy sheep were in active demand for
shipment TO New York at from 8@8N for prime;

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette thus speaks of Ohio's present
delegation in the House:
The Ohio Delegation presented a fine
appearance. Ohio is well represented
on the floor. Two of the most useful
members of the last Congress, Law
renee and Welker, are out; but in Shell
laberger, Monroe, Sprague and Foster,
there is an excellent addition, and do
not think there is a better delegation
on the floor, taking the members of
both parties, than that from Ohio
Campbell, counting politics out, will
make a useful member; and all parties
concede Morgan and Van Trump to be
capable and honest men,

Elections will be held throughout
this County and State, on Monday,
April 3rd, to fill Township and Corpor.
ate offices. 1t is very important to the
public that such places should be filled
by good men-men of ability and char
acter. Again, if the Republican party
expects to address itself to the favorable
regard of the public, it must put good
men forward for offices, no matter if the
salaries are not large or the hOnors big.

THE grading of fthe UniontOwn and

last.
Mrs. BoTHNIA HARMAR, one of the
just ones of the earth, died suddenly of
paralysis on the eleventh inst. -
THE Uniontown Mills will be offered
for sale.
A LARGE party was given at the resi-
dence of their mother ON the evening
of the 9th, by Messrs. George and Jo-
|seph Sharp and sisters. About 80 guests
were entertained, and as the Sharps
have never been known to divide an
apple in the family when fruit was SELL
ing at IS per barrel, they are not accus-
toned to doing things Shy halves" I"
consequently the party was decided
success. ....
WE WILL not say that Rev. w. s.
Mofitt and wife were surprised by the
demonstration made on Wednesday,
the Sth instant by the members of their
congregation and friendsof their church,
for kind deeds are but the natural off
spring ofgenerous hearts, but that they
were taken unawares there can be no
doubt. A donation party was gotten
up and each one presented gift as a
token of his love and esteem.
In addition to grain, provisions, cloth
for clothes, &C., a beautiful Howe sew
ing machine with Harvey's guages,
cloth motion, embroidery and edging
device attached) was purchased of the
agent here and presentedto the pastors
wife. A roll of money was also hand
ed to Mr.. NJ. A bounteous repast was
spread at the church, the minister and
his family invited in, and after prayer
by Hon. Thomas Nichols, the presenta-
ton speech was made in behalf of the
congregation by Mr.. Thomas Cooke,
who was congratulated at the close of
the meeting for his mastery effort. Rev
Moffitt replied briefly but fully. On
motion of Mr.. Nichols the address was
ordered to be printed in the newspaper
Ofthe church. A dinner was then SER
we'd which we have never seen surpas-
sed, if even equalled. A portion was
sent to the wounded and suffering, and
after time spent in pleasant converse
ton, the meeting dispersed. Your re-
porter was favored with basket of the
choicest viands for which he tenders
thanks.

We give elsewhere long letter upon
affairs at the Infrmary. AS we have
heretofore said, we trust the new super
intendent will recognize the humanity
of the poor entrusted to his care, and
thereby improve upon the past. We

ty and we think the the wreter of the

to prove something no one has denied.
We were informed that several gentle
men were ready for the position. If, on
ly two, therein lies our error.

THE Cadiz Republican states that a
horse valued at $3.50 was stolen from
Mr., Beebe's stable, of that place, on
the 1st inst. No clue to the thief or
horse. Also, that second fire broke
out on Monday night of last week, and
consumed the stable Of j. B. Lyons,
Cashier of the First National Bank.
The fire commenced in the hay-mow as
it did when the Cadiz House stables
were burned. This is the fifth stable
burned within the last four months in
Cadiz.

Some one remarked few days since
that the only ne,cs he had seen in the
Gazette for some time, was in the last
issue, and that was about the editor of
the CHRONICLE. In the last number
there is an account of some one in Nor
ristown ordering coffin for a woman
not yet dead. The same item appeared
in this paper some time ago-long
enough at least for the Gazette to copy
it. Also, item about Judge Miller ap-
peared in the Cadiz Republican three,
if notfour weeks age, and was noticed by
the CHRONICLE the week following.
The Gazette copies our report of the
lands of this County as eq,talized 6y the
State Board previous to the late reduc-
ton. 1t claims the statement as incOr-
rect, and hunts up the abstract of valu-
alton as returned by the County Board
and palms it off upon its readers as the
Iequalized valuation of Belmont County
lands, as given by the State Board, for
t1S7O. He neither adds the per cent.
increase, nor deducts the II per cent.
reduction, but points to his column OF
figures as correct, when in fact, not a
single one is correct. The editor must
either be closing his senses or malicious.
ly misrepresented us with the belief
that his readers knew no better. The
Enterprise quoted our statement and
understood it, and as we do not propose
to furnish the Gazette man with brains
and news to, we avise him to stop
quoting from us, or quote correctly.
We will give our readers the true
value of lands, with and without build
ings as equalized by the State Board.
Mr.. DUNCAN informs us that there has
been an increase of per cent. upon
lands, and reduction of 12 per cent.
upon property in general. This would
give us reduction of per cent. upon
lands and 70 per cent. upon the towns.
| 124 per cent. is given by some papers as
the reduction upon the State at large.
We now deduct Z per cent. from the
valuation as returned to the State
Auditor, and have the following results
by townships:
