STOCK, CROP AND FARM NOTES.


as i'll Missouri, good stock is selling
at lower rates than here. Hogs are
scarce every where, aud i'll many
places are dying of diseases, and are
consequently commanding good
prices, while other stock rules low:
The firm of Tinsley Nance s. Todd,
of Howard county. have contracted
for five thousand hogs, which are to
be delivered at st. Louis in Novem.

1t is reported that the famous
Dexter is now q faster horse than
ever before in his life. For several
years the horse had been ailing in his
feet, and MIR. Bonner had pursued his
system by cutting aud gouging and
doctoring in yain-and seeing that 1t
did no good, his feet have since had q
severe letting alone. Consequently
they have grown out strong, and
he is now tit to trot fast.
The euterprising and restless pro-
prietor of the New York Herald
James Gordon Bennett, will, it is
said, shortly appear in L new charac-
ter. We have become familiar with
his name anu his fame as daring
AMI successful yatchman, as a first.
class pigeon-shoOter, and as cham
pion pedestrian. In those sports and
pastimes he no longer finds delight.
Next year, it is understood, Mr.. Ben.
nett will come before the world III
the character of patron of the turf.
He never does thing by halves. We
may therefore look for lively times.
