THE WITNESS LEETE.

HE Is DEFORE A NEW YORK POLICE COURT.
New York, August 19.-John E. Leete
was brought before Judge Fanner, of the
Tombs police court, this morning. The
charge made by the officer was disorderly
conduct, and before the magistrate could
interrogate him, he waved his arms in a de-
clamatory form, and turning around to-
wards the audience, launched vigorous In
vectives in denunciation of his enemies He
protested that there was conspiracy to
imMure him in foul and lOathsome dun
eeon, where he could not be heard from
again, under the form of stlr-chamber
proceeding, and with extravagant gesticula-
tion he cried aloud-"Is there 20 person
to protect me!" The magistrate decided to
commit him to the charge of the commits
sioners Of charity and correction, with the
view of an examination into his mental con
dition. Some artitice mad to be employed
to get him to leave the court room. Cast
ing his eyes in the direction of the rrison-
ers box, he shrank back with an air of dis
may, and exclaimed in tremulous tones,
THAT is the road to perdition." The Off
GERS then conducted him out of the from,
door, gently soothing his complaints on the
way by kind words

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
REPORTED BY H.. p. MURPHY.

YaIkton, Aug. l6, 1878.-The market tor cattle,
sheep and hogs has not changed any from our
last weeks report. The demand for fresh meat
has increased somewhat, owing to cooler wealth
er. Butchers find no difficulty i'll buying what
stock they need. Chickens and eggs are scarce.
owing, 10 doubt, to the fact that farmers are
busy and have no time to come to market.

Fat hogs. per p..'...... 5Isg5c
Veal calves, to weeks old, per ID. 4K@5c
Mich COWS, fresh, are in good demand, and
bring from $40 to S35 per head. as to quality, age
and size,
The supply of horses is equal to the demand,
and can be bought at reasonable prices. The
prices of horses vary SO much that it is a very
difficult matter to give ruling price. Good
| farm horses and mares can be bought from $50
| to Sl20; pings and inferior grades from $50 to
| SOS Heavy work horses, none Offering, and it is
not likely this kind Of horses would find buyers
| at a paying figure, as they always sell at higher
prices. Well bred, fancy driving horses, none in
! the market. As to whether they could be sold,
we are not able to decide. 1t seems to us that
the breeding of heavy draught horses should at
! once become part OF every Dakota farmers
greatest interest for several reasons. II will not
! be long until Dakota will have more horses that
will be needed al home. The farmers then will
| have to seek a market in the east. In order tC
| be able to realize good and paying prices they
must have the kind Of horses that will meet the
| demand of the eastern market-that is, two
kinds, heavy work horses, or well bred, good
steppers. Tho first, every farmer can raise with
out much additional expense; thelatterrequires
| time and money. 1t seems to us that where
horses can be raised so cheaply as they can be in
| Dakota, hat,cvery farmer should have enough in
| terest i'll his own business to make this matter a
study.
