At New Harmony there has been a great
excitement in the hog market to the delight
of the farmers. A correspondent of the
Mount Vernon Democrat thus describes the
affair: Some new and inexperienced BUYERS,
men who thought they saw a lovely margin
in swine, had entered the market, and the
"pork kings" of town moved on them,
to drive them out. The battle was ter
rifle, at first. The new men had money and
nerve, and stayed in, determined to play out
the play. The farmer who bad sold at IS
was chagrined 10 find that his neighbor. two
hours later, had turned his lot in at IS 90,
and he in turn, was crazy mad to find that
50 was freely offered before he left for home.
Nine dollars for pork wers the figures that
stunntd the dormant brain of the tiller of
the SOIL, and when he heard il whispered
that Saturdays Sun would shine upon hogs
coming into market at $40, he bowed his
head upon his hands and wept, that he had
no more hogs to sell. The prices paid were
cash. One old veteran, whose ~proudest
boast, it is, that he voted for jackson, and
never got left on the hog market,
who had outlived many psnics, and faced
many treacherous margins, placidly gazed
upon a knot of noisy, excited men, and as
he felt his wallet filled with the proceeds of
his hog crop, devoutly exclaimed: THANK
God, the whole country democratic, and
pork worth 50 90 a hundred"

RANDOLPH COUNTY.
"Four babies at once" is a startling head
line in the Winchester Journal of this week.
Having arrested the attention of the aver
age reader, the writer proceeds: The wife
of Riley Stetson, living on Bear Creek, in
the edge of Franklin township, in this
county, gave birth to four children-two
boys and two girls, on Sunday night of last
week. The children were well formed in
every respect and weighed four pounds each.
Not content with this awful announcements
the editor adds The neighborhood where
this occurred is a peculiarly productive one,
two pairs of twins having been born in less
than six months, neither more than half a
mile apart. Eight children at three births
in one neighborhood. Can any other county
in the state beat THAR Marion county is in
creasing in population quite fast enough.
By the way, Riley should &c west and de-
vote himself assiduously to agricultural
pursuits, raising corn and other grain. He
Will have no trouble in getting rid of all he
raises in that line. He will have a home
market and a lively demand.
SULLIVAN COUNTY.
Stamps seem to be scarce with the average
Office seeker in this state this season. Those
devastating gr~asshoppers did the business.
The Sullivan Democrat says: "Hon. II. K.
Wilson showed us yesterday an immense
package of letters from ofice-hunters at the
hands of the legislature. But few, he says,
enclosed stamp to repay return postage.
Some are writing in regard to offices that are
not vacant. Information as we'll as stamps
is lacking in some of our statesmen, it would
seem, from the last line of this paragraph.
