Book Notices.

The Country of the Dwarfs, by Paul Du
ChaiIlG, from the house of Harper and Brothers,
is upon our table. 1t is an admirable book for
young people, written in the style peculiar to
that celebrated author and profusely illustrated.
1t is scarcely necessary for us to say anything
in commentator of the work, as the name OF
Paul Du Chaillu will secure for it a thorough
reading, and the fact that it comes from mar
pers will be universally accepted as evidence
sufficient of its superior mechanical execution.
None of this authors numerous works VIII De
sought after with more interest than TINS, ana
none will more interest that class OF readers Tor
whose entertainment and instruction he writes.
It is a II mo. volume containing 3l4 pages and
is for sale at all the book stores or will be sent
from the publishing house of Harper Brothers,
postage prepaid on receipt of the price, 81. IS
Few men in this country enjoy sc much cele-
brity as writers for the young as Jacob and
J John S. G. Abbott. One of the last works of
the latter has made its appearance through the
house of the Harper Brothers, entitled, HIS
tory of Louis Philippe, King of the French. "
1t is written in his usual entertaining style, and
no boy, after beginning it. will care to lay 1t
aside, without thorough perusal.
1t is embellished with seventeen handsome
engravings representing striking events IN the
history of Louis Philippe 1t is valuable book
and should be placed in reach of every youth,
AS combining the entertaining and the useful.
In the mechanical execution of the work, the
distinguished publishers have fully sustained
their reputation for beauty and excellence.

Fishing Party.

A party of gentlemen on Market Place yes
terday went on their first fishing excursion this
season. They met with an accident before reach
ing the fishing grounds, or rather, water-thelr
wagon breaking down,
They sent in a wheel by one fellow and q
broken axle by some one else and trudged along
merrily on foot, with their tackle and bait
The party went vigorously to work and had
pretty good sport, landing many fine. scaly
back on terra tirma, never more to sport IN his
native element. One of the party became deep
ly interested in the practical study OF lzaak
Walton until hailed by friend, Bob A, who
was similarly engaged Hello, there, Mat

cork the reply came in muff1ed tones. 'Fltln.
The thunder you are, you amt doing much
good but you talk like you were choking !;
what have you got in your mouth 2" Muffin
but wurms for bait" .
Our novice was seen to haul out fine blue
cat and throw it back in the water, with an ex-
preston of deep disgust and when remonstra,

Webb, who had done likewise on a similar oc-
casion when l go a eattin' l go cattln +,
and when fish for pearch aCallt pearch"
The aggregate caught footed up one mess,
which they gave to the eldest of the party, the
other two contenting themselves with salt her
ring each, the praying member of the party be-
ing of the opinion the few taken were not worth
saving grace over, any way.

Row and Accident in Chattanooga.

A favorite Sunday pastime in Chattanooga Is
to roll stones from the hills down upon the
houses in the mud hole below. Last Sabbath
the swampees retaliated with a sharp pistol tu-
silade, and were afterwards allowed to remain
in undisturbed enjoyment Of their everglade
houses.
A gentleman passing by the Burns House in
Chattanooga, last Monday night, accidentally
named Miller, while endeavoring to rescue him,
slipped in ALSO but fortunately retained hold of
his umbrella. 1t served as sort Of buoy to
keep them from disappearing completely till
they were scooped out by the police. 1t is pro-
posed to erect lighthouse at the place.

Live Stock Market.
HORSES AND MULES.


The demand for horses and mules is only To-
cal and very light The only sales made dur
ing the past week that have come to our knowl-
edge being through regular dealer, Mr.. Par
mertier, who hasEsold three horses and NO
mules and purchased two horses. Owing to the
tightnesS of money, prices rule low.
Col. 5. II. Davis, who has been travelling IN
Georgia for some weeks past and has just re-
turned, reports the Atlanta market fiat with a
large stock of inferior mules on hand, most of
which will probably be sold at q loss The
price averages about S125, but owners are hold
ing for an advance. Large smooth mules bring
readily S175, but there are very few animals Of
this kind offering. This should be another in
ducement to our farmers to breed good stock.
1t costs no more to keep blooded animals than
the scrub stock now owned, and when offered
for sale the advantage is always immensely in
favor of the blooded variety.
CATTLE.
The receipts of cattle during the past week
were large, but not in excess Of the demand,
Several car loads were shipped to other markets,
among which we noticed many fine cattle. One
lot of thirty-two head by Mr.. Mitchell to Mr.:
Washam, was particularly good, while several
other lots were beyond the usual average The
whole number sold during the week was
ninety-four head, making an aggregate gross
weight of s., 81, pounds; We quote the follow
ing prices, based upon the sales:
No fat cattle, 4c.; good fat cattle, 3!a4c.;
ordinary cattle, 3!a3c.
A few tops brought Ale. for shipment, as our
home market will not justify butchers in pay
ing this even for the finest.
HOGS.
The receipts of hogs during the week were
small, but a few were shipped to other markets.
THERE'S no change in the price, and the demand
continues good for prime fat hogs at quotations.
Carload lots are preferable but holders will
find ready sale for smaller lots
QUoTATIoNs.-Prime large fat hogs, AZ.
Small fat hogs 4c. Ordinary hogs, 81.
SHEEP,
Sheep continue to come in freely, and sell
readily on account of the great demand for
wool but we have seen but few in good condl-
ton for butchering No. fat sheep will bring
S2.50aS2. IS per head.
The demand for hay continues good, while
but little is being brought in. The selling
price is S100 per cWt, but we have seen several
loads sold as high as $1.20 per cwt.
