Cincinnati Leaf Tobacco Markets
CINCINNATI. March 5.


The most notable feature Of the market for leaf
tobacco during the past week has been the unpre-
cetented large offerings at auction for this season
of the year. Nearly 1,400 hhds were offered for
SALE 94S of which were of the new or 1877 crop. In
quality this new crop is falling below the ex-
pectatons Of the trade. While it is generally Of a
sound good-bodied leaf, and well suited
for plug, manufacturers and stem
mers, It looks, now as though it would ld
be lacking in the thin, colory sorts, so much
sought for by cutters. Be this as it may, however,
the crop is an unusually, useful one, and viii u
meet more generally the demands made upon it
than any marketed here for years, Prices have
been shade stronger for useful old goods, un,
changed and steady for new. Orders can be filed
within the range Of quotations for all kinds save
fancy old cutting, which If here at all is among
stock yet unsamp1ed. Both old and new 0hio'and
Wisconsin seed remain very firm at quotations,
The offerings at auction this week were $40 hhds

One mile and forty rods north of

resides Mr.. Andrew J. Green. Day
before yesterday he started to walk
to the village. Swinging along with
his wonted stride, and reaching q
point within half q mile of his des-
tination his attention was attracted
by the strange actions of a large
flock of sparrOws, lowering low
down over the sidewalk, flying rap.
idly hither and thither In great ex-
element. AS he approached them,
and when in their midst, they
evinced no fear of his presence, and,
instead of flying away on his en-
trance among them, they pressed
around him In greater numbers.
and almost Immediately attacked
him with their sharp bills with
great fury. At first he was disposed
to treat the attack as q trivial mat
ter, and attempted to brush them
away with his hands, but the few
thus displaced were Immediately
replaced by myriads more, darting,
chattering and piercing him with

a cloud of arrOws.n Their imm ense
numbers and persistent charge
were SO great that he was soon
thrown to the ground. Now thor
oughly alarmed, he struggled to
his feet. Covering his eyes and
face with one hand as well as pos.
slble, he endeavored with the other
hand to wrest from the fence at his
side a stake or picket with which
to defend himself, but not succeed
ing, and the wild and infuriated
little warriors still increasing their
attack, he was forced to fight them
again with his hands, when az eain
he was thrown to the ground. Now
really terrified for his life, he
pulled his coat over his face aud
head for protection, regained bis
feet and fed for his life, but they
did not pursue him far. Exhausted,
and with his hands bleeding, he
reached the village, convinced that
he had a narrow escape.
