WHAT HOGS WILL BRING NEXT
SEASON.

The Ci..Sis.aGtt Price CuTTeni, in speak
ing of the hog crop of 1S14-5, and showing
it likely TO prove a fair average, thus pre-
sents the future prices Of hogs for the
coming packing season:
First, the increased price viii lead PEG
pie to market their hogs very close, and
second, the decline in corr, which is likely
to take place in December, will add to the
hog feeding, as being the best use to make
Of the CORD. 1t now seems beyond dispute
that there will be plenty Of hogs for pack
ing purposes at ; cents per pound, live
weight, taken as an average for the season.
There is nothing mOIe sure than that when
hogs have once attained their best condi-
ton for killing, theyw be sold at current
rates without reference to what these rates
may be, because, after hog is once in ex-
cellent order, he is q daily source of ex-
pepse until realized on, and his owners
will not hold him. We look for
heavy shipments Of hogs to packing points
during next December.

Tonight this company will play Rip
Van Wrinkle with Mr.. Huntley in the title

night will of course add 10 the success Of
the play and TO the enjoyment of the crowd.

A KNOX COUNTY INVADER.


Last Tuesday night, about 8 o'clock, a
homicide occurred in the vicinity Of Pow
ellis Station, on the Knoxville and Ohio
Railroad, eight miles from the city. As
well as we could gather them yesterday,
the facts are about as follows:
Vim. n. White, who formerly lived
south of the river, last fall rented the Pow
ell place, half mile from the station, and
has been cultivating it during the past
year. A short time since JOSEPH FSady.
who was connected with = Circus which re-
Gently bursted zap down at LOudOn, came
10 ihe place, his father having been in the
neighbOrhOOd of the station for several
years past, and who, at the time
of the tragedy, was living in the
same house with White. White
and Joe FradY had both been at the
picnic at Careyyille, on the Kentucky and
Ohio Railroad, and returned on the even
ing train about p, NJ. A difficulty was
oceasiOned between the two men BY Frady
striking or shutting the door against one
of Whites children. White took excep-
tiOns to Frady's conduct and they were
about to get into fight when Frady's IA
Their and another man who was present, in.
terfered and prevented them from ciineh-
ing. White turned aWGy 80 leave, when
young Frady made a haunting remark to
him, upon which he turned around and
made towards him. The other two men
again jumped between them, when the
coward pulled pistol and reaching over
the shoulder Of his father fred. The ball
entered Whites leit temple, and he died
almost instantaneously, leaving wife and
six children.
Frady Immediately fed, andhad all night
in which to get out Of the State, as the
news Of the murder was not brought to
town till yesterday morning.

immediate neighborhood didn't see it in
that light, however.
The dreeP interest exhibited by negroes
in the trial of criminal cases has become a
matter of remark and some surprise. The
colored gallery in the Criminal Court room
during trials is nearly always full OF sable
spectators, whether the cases ON trial in
volye their own people or whites. Many
of them, male and female, remain there
from morning till evening, attentively liz
tening to every word OF the testimony and
argument. Their conduct is generally
quiet and orderly, but most of them are, no
doubt, idlers, for whom the Criminal

THE ENGLISH DINNER.

A writer on English "living" in the BOs-
ton Courier says: Dinner, the solemn
prandial event Of the day, IS admirably
comfortable. The white waistcOated and
crayated butler throws open the door and
announces it. Tie foOtmen, in well-f.ting,
handsome liyeries, stand in the hall like
guardsmen on parade while the families
pass into the dining-roOm. From begin
ming to end all runs like a we'll
oiled wheel. If the faintest crash
of plate or china be heard, the frown of the
butler makes his myrmidOns tremble.
The host and hostess, utterly free from
care about the failure Of soup or entree, are
as thoroughly at ease as the merriest of
their guests, and are able to give their at
tention to the conversation undisturbed by
any narrowing approximations. The din
ner consists always of soup and fish, en-
trees from one to four, according TO the
number present; roast, boiled pieces de re-
sistanee; from two TO four sweet dishes,
game, cheese Of two kinds, dessert, and
coffee. Tea, with dry toast, ETC., is served
IN the drawing-roOm about two hours after
dinner. Usually a small table Is placed In
q corner Of a room, covered with a white
cloth, and the beautiful tea service, often
well worth study by those curious in old
plate, is placed thereon"
