"A Disappointment.-An number of citi-
zens went to the early train yesterday
morning with the expectation Of buying

rival there that An order had been received
the evening before forbidding their further
sale. 1t is supposed that this new turn in
the matter was in consequence of difficult
ties that have several times arisen between
the holders of excursion tickets and the
conductors on the return trips, the latter
eontending that the time during which the
ticket could be used had expired. By this
change the Company will be the principal
loser.
The outlook for butter and eggs in this

effect here that the grasshopper plague had
in the West-consume everything eatable;
and they have already commenced to pre-
pare for it, by quitting down'-in pots
their butter, and sailing away their eggs.
1t is rumored that one of our butter-mak-
ers has already entered into an arrange
ment with = party in Philadelphia, by
which he is to receive one dollar pound
for all the butter he can supply during
the exhibition, and the knowing ones are
prophesying that from rs cents to 81
will be the prevailing price next year.
