CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET.

THURSDAY EVENING, Oct. "a.
The receipts OF iye stock during the week up
to this evening we're as follows:
, 1872-10-25

r The present rates Of freight, for cattle, to New
1ork, are $14o 90 per car, an advance Of $4,000
per car, the old rates being $4,000. The rates
$4,000 to 976.36.
Only slight change WAS visible in the con-
dltlon Of this market to-day. Texas cattle were
again IN good demand, and notwithstanding tho
large g number on sale (about three-fourths Of the
former prices were sustained. Not only did
PACKERS and city butchers buy liberallY. but g
number OF large droves were taken by shippers
and feeders, - and with the exception OF. . few
purchasers. Among the large sales Of

aa9 herd d ayeraging 1,42 q, lbs, at 1890; and
by Nelson Morris for the Eastern market. Mr.
Morris also bought drove OF 800 head, averag-
ing $50 Tbs at $3.50, which he will ship to Peoria.
where they will be fed in one Of the distil1eries
Of that city until next spring. During the
present week he has purchased some 900 head
for distil1ery feeding. Native cattle continue
extremely dull, though in comparison with any
of the half dozen preceding days, to-day's sales
made larger aggregate. This improvement if
improvement it can be called, was due to the
East the small number OF cattle forwarded
from here during the past ten days having oper-
ated to strengthen prices in the seaboard markets.
The wants Of shippers, however, we're few, and
own figures. With the exception of Ill choice
Iowa ateers, averaging 1918 fbs, at $500; 80
head, averaging 1,218 lbs, at $3.50; and Is head,
averaging 1883 TBS, at 95.75,-sold by Robert
Strahorn-nothing fetched over $500, while the
major portion OF the days business was trans-
acted at the low range Of 92.50@4.0o. stockers
we're in large supply, and sold slowly at the re-
duction sustained earlier in the week.
The late advance in freighta, and the difficulty
Of obtaining cars, are efecting the market un-
r n,1
may be expected to prevail for soma time to
come. The rates Of freight from Chicago to
New York are now $4,000 per car-an advance
Of $4,000. The market closed dull.

mss-A DEAD DELU>1oN-T theory that
human beings whose strength has been exhaust
ed by pain ard sickness, can be restored by de-
uletlng medicine and water Cruel, if not abso-
lutely dead delusion, is in the last agones of
dissolution. Al length it is understood that
strength cannot be purged into debilitated
frame, though life may easily be purged out of
it, and that it is about as wise TO withhold
heathful stimulant from the weak, in the expec-
tation that they will ra ly without one as it
would be to deprive lamp of oil and expect it
to burn the brighter for it.
The immense and uniform success which has
attended the use of that wonderful com blnation
of pure stimuiant with the finest medicinal
herb known us Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has
large assisted in d>pelling the absurd chimera.
Frantic attempts are made to revive 1t, but in
vain. When the sick feel that their strength
is departing, and that unless invigorated
they must utterly break down, it is in vain
to tender them fecuent slops in the place
of genuine restoratives. They may be imposed
upon in this wuv once, but the imposition cam
not be repeated They desire to be refresh ed,
comforted, bIaced up, and decline to be grped
second time.

nouncement will be received with delight by
the entire community, that the erection of a
steeple, with bell and clock-a fac simile of
the one destroyed at the time the Market
House was burned, has been determined upon,
and that one of our citizens, upon whom for
tune has smiled, and whose love for his native
place, and desire to benefit its citizens in any
and every way, induce him to undertake the
work at his own expense. This liberality will
be appreciated, and the benefit thus conferred
upon all, entities him to the praise so justly
due while the steeple will be lasting monu-
