follows: Best Beeves at 75a6 so; gen.

out material change; good qualities are
in fair demand while common grades
remain dull. Open wool Stock Sheep
are in good demand. We quote fat
sheep at 3sa54 cents per lb gross, as to

Belmont County Items.

From the st. Clairsville Gazette, July 81
Mr.. VIM. Thompson, one of the first
white children born in this township, who
is now 70 years of age, lat his own request
went to Jail on Sunday last, to be where it
is quiet His mind has been very much
disturbed for several days-quite wild at
times. We believe the intention is to re,
move him to an asylum. He certainly
would be cared for better there than he
could possibly be anywhere else.
The grape crop of this county is the
finest that ever yet was seen. Franzheim,
of Wheeling, last year made 10000 gal.
Ions of wine. If he buys the grapes OF
the same yards this year, he will make so
900 gallons But the grapes Of this
county are mostly shipped to Eastern
markets for table use. The Concord
Ives Seeding, and Hartford Prolific are
looking grand, and the Catawba is unus
ually fine. These, with the Virginia
Seeding, are the 1nefchmtable grapes OF
this county.
Mr.. Isaiah Fields, Of Morristown, who
was leaving that tdevn on Monday last, in
company with Mr.. Joseph Powers, in a
spring wagon, met with serious accl,
dent. One side of the Shafts fell down,
frightening the horse, who ran away, up,
setting the wagon. Mr., Fields had one
of his ankle bones so badly broken that
his foot had to be amputated. Mr. Pow

expected.

E# The ex, Emperor and ex-Empress
of the French seem to be quite cheerful
in their exile. Louis is in excellent
health, and is becoming quite stout. He
comes to London nearly every day, and
he may be often seen strolling down the
sunny side of Bond street, or looking
musingly out of the bay-window of a
clubhouse, looking for all the world,
with his somewhat beak nose and his
growing abdominable development, like
Mr.. Punch himself taking notes. One
of the most curious facts connected with
his stay in England is, that he has
aroused most marked affection for him
and his cause in the minds of the work
ing people, who cheer him at every ia,
vorable opportunity. The Empress will
shortly make visit to her mother in
Spain.
