There were nine deaths from cholera in

lief there that the epidemic had run its

ports from the surrounding country along the

mortality in Nashville on the 22d from chol-
era was ffty-two, against tifty-nine the day
before.
1t is announced that arrangements have
been perfected by which one cent stamp af-
fixed to United States postal card, will, after

Canada.
A stable at Point Breeze Trotting Park near
Philadelphia, was burned on the 23d, and

trains on the Atlantic 81 Pacific Railroad, some

fatally burned in attempting to kindle fire
with kerosene, on the 21st. Her father, In en-
deayoring to save the girl, was burned fatally,

tained that tho packing ID nearly through for tho

places will probably fall lttlo below that Of last
Honson. Hogs are being marketed rapidly in
nearly a!l sections. aa farmcrs appear to be we'll
satisfied with present pricos. At some points In
Indiana and Ohio the packing upto the present
timo exceeds the aggregate Of last year, while at
tho otllors thoro Ia moderate falling of. Tho
high prcea forhoge prevailing at heloading pack

probably fall OF ten to twenty lbs as compared

counted OIL. Ono great roaBon for it ia the fact
that thora is widespread foeliug that tho
e11oots Of tho panic wego too heavily discounted;
and tho natural tendency OF such feeling IL to
forco prices up al much above tho normal level
as they wero too low. After Hoyere daturb-
ancs 1t taltos some time for things to settle
back to their former equilibrium.
