Allegheny Cattle Market.

PIrrsBUGH, Monday, Jan. 2, ISIS.
! CATTTF.-The receipts of cattle by
the different railroads center;ng at the
Union yards were twenty-Seven car
loads. OF these, seventeen came from
Chicago, and the balance from Ohio.
The run of cattle by rail was the light
est for some. weeks, as was also that
from the surrounding country; but this
was full made up by the receipts from
East Liberty-ten car lOadS-the
heaviest run from tnat place for at least
one year. The quality of cattle on sale
ran mostly from medium to prime.
There was but few cattle on sale which
could be called extra, and at the same
time there was not many common and
Iscalawag cattle. To-day, with but a
light run, prices advanced at least lc,
while on good cattle it could not be
said to be more than from 10 to l5c.
Trade closed up firm at about eleven
O'Clock, with everything sold.
SHEEP.-The mum ber of sheep and
lambs on sale to-day was rather large
for the season of the year, numbering
between 600 and 500 head. The quail
ty was all grades f-om common to
prime. Trade opened slow and con-
tinued so until the close. Dealers re-
port the trade fair, but say prices are
not so good as they ought to be, as
they thought their stock would go Tor
as good prices wholesale at East Llber-
ty as by retail here. Some of them
Withdrew their stock and drove over.

The public is very seriously inconve
nienced by the absence of the Probate
Judge. 1t is true that Judge Anderson
has provided against this as far as pos
sible, yet he cannot delegate his judi
cial authority. We have heard of sew
eral instances where the appointment
of guardians has been desired, and 9TH
ers where it was required that the
Judge should pass upon the question
of Lunacy, within the last four days.
These things and many others require
the personal attention of the Probate
Judge. We are extremely sorry that
Judge Anderson is so disabled as to
make it impossible for him to attend
at his Office. There remains yet nearly
two weeks of his term. We suggest as
his term is so near out, and as the
emoluments for the remainder of it
can at most be but rrifiing that it
1t might serve the public interests, if
the Governor could be placed in
such position as to be able to appoint
a Probate Judge to ELL the balance of
his term.
