The Cincinnati gazette Of Saturday,
November DIST, in a review of the hog
market, says;
Last January, according 10 the re-
ports Of the Department of Agriculture,
there was about 5 per cent. less number
of hogs in the principal Western pork
packing States than there was one year
preceding, and the number marketed
during the summer did not vary much
from that of the summer Of 1873. Since
the lst of June there has been the in
ducement of steadily advancing prices
to spur the farmers up to prepare as
many hogs for market as possible
Hogs intended for the winter packing
season did not require corn for feed
until the new crop was ripe, and there
fore the high price of corn i'm August
and September had little, if any, effect
upon preparing them for market
There never was n better season for
fattening hogs, and up to the present
time the weather has been such that
the maximum result hes been obtained
from feed i'm increased weight of the
pOrcine animal. The hog is a prolific
animal, and, under favorable circum-
stances, few hundred thousand more
can be added to the winters supply.
The packing season opened this year
on account of the warm weather, but
what is the net result 50 far? We copy
from the Cincinnati Price Current of
yesterday:
The packing Of hogs at the six lead
ing Western packing points from No
vember LIST to the latest mail dates, and
estimated since, compares with cor
responding dates i'm 1878 and 1872, as

This is perhaps the first year that Wash
ington county has failed to make porl,
enough for home consumption \ few
years ago our farmers relied Glmostenthely
on their hog crop for money to pay their
debts. While they gave this business the
proper attention money was plenty, and We
seldom heard them complaining of hard
times. Now there is, perhaps, not more
than one out Of twenty Of our best farmer,
that will make bacon Tor sale this year, and
nearly every one is complaining Of the
scarcity Of money. Try the old plan again

KILLED by Lightning.

The lightning of Tuesday created
considerable damage in our county,
besides causing the loss of one life,
that of Miss Lydia Bolen, young lady
living just below GeraldstOwn. She
was standing i'm the door when struck,
we understand, and was OF course iu-
stantly killed. The house of Mr.. --
Bailey, about six miles below the Boleu
place, was struck at the same time, the
lightning rods being torn from one
end of the house, the window-glass all
broken out, and large portion of the
end-wall of the house torn down.

Whether the demand for pork and
lard will keep up at the enhanced
value, to a point large enough to absorb
the product of the season, is a matter
for the future to determine, and on
which opinions are divided, but the
effect of the distribution of so large an
amount Of money as the hogs now be-
ing marketed will bring, can not be
otherwise than salutary upon the
general trade aud prosperity of the
untry.
