AN ORDINANCE, or regulation of our
Pity, prohibiting the sale of fresh meats
Fithin the corporation limits, except by IL
Fnsed butchers, is being complained OF,
M very justly, we think, by our farming
fends in the vicinity of Jackson, who have
Peen accustomed to bring fresh pork, with
heir other products, to the city for sale.
Nth as much propriety might our local
|ferehants object to the sale of butter, eggs,
POULTRY, vegetables, etc., as the butchers TO
complain because fresh meat is sold occa-
tOnaly from country wagons. Such ordi-
ahces operate oppressively against the
tmer who raises meet to sell, and are
euated to get up prejudices against the
" generally. We trust the newly elected
NY Council will re-establish free trade
this particular. 5

EARL OF DERBY's NOTE.

CoNsTANTINoPLE Jan. l0.-From a note
OF the Earl Derby. British Foreign Minister
TO MIR. Layard, the British ambassador here,
Informing him of the Russian reply con-
corning the armistice, the Porte inferred
that it had only to propose an armistice for
II to be concluded. Rascuff Pasha, Minister
of War, accordingly telegraphed yesterday,
to the Russian Grand Dnke proposing an
armistice aud announcing his willingness
to treat on behalf of Turkey. Up to the
present time no reply has been received
from the Russian headquarters.
EXCITED GREECE.
LONDON, Jan. 10.-In connection with the
commencement OF hostil'ies between in
surgent Turks in Crete, a recent Athens
letter say that the Greek revolutionary
committee, of which Bulgaria is chief, had
invited the Cretiars TO send deputies to a
national assembly to decide the question of
annexation to Greece. Ten revolutionary
battaiions were TO be raised, but only two
were actually formed. The Turkish Gov
ernOr had five battalons of relief, but in
tended to organize Mohame tan Inhabitants.
The Turks seem decided to only hold the
towns on the cost and leave the interior to
the insurgents. If all christian men join
the insurgents they will number about
Is 900 rising Cretes. There is immense ex-
element at Athens and the revolutionary
committee is urged to order a rising in
Thessaly, but the Governm ent has dissuaded
Bulgaria from participation.
DEEP AND UNANIMOUS REGRET.
PARIS, Jan. 10.-The Official Journal in
announcing King Victor Emanuers
DEATH says: "Not In Italy alone
will so cruel and sudden an event
cause such deep and unanimous re-
greet. The loss of Sovereign who held so
great a place in Europe will be strongly
felt in France. The President of the Re-
public of the French Nation has already ex
pressed to the new King how fully he shares

Re.Opening q ThOrOughfare,

In order to guard against results utterly
subversive OF health, it is absolutely essen
tial that the grand thoroughfare OF avenue
of the system, the bowels, should be re-
opened as speedily as possible when they
become obstructed. If they are not, the
bile is misdirected into the blood; the liver
becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter gets
into the stomach, and produces ndigestion !;
headaches ensue, and other symptoms are
produced, which prolongation of the ex-
citing cause only tends to aggravate. The h,
aperient properties of Hostetter's Stomach
Ritters constitute a most useful agent in
overcoming construction of the bowels, and
promoting regular habit of body, 1t It is is
infinitely superior to the drastic cathartics
frequently used for the purpose, since 1t
does not, like them, act violently, but pro-
duces natural painless effect, which does
not impair the tone of the evaeuatory or or
gans, which it invigoratcs instead Of weak; ;
ening. The stomach and liver, also, indeed
the entire system, is strengthened and reg
ulated by it.

WHAT BIRDS AccoMpLIsH.-The
swallow, swift and night-hawk are the
guardians of the atmosphere. They
Check the increase of insects which other
wise would overload it. Woodpeckers,
creepers and chickadees are the guar
dians of the trunks of trees. Warblers
and hycatchers protect the foliage.
Blackbirds, crows, thrushes and larks
protect the surface of the soil. SniPe
and woodcock protect the soil under the
surface. Each tribe has its respective
duties to perform in the economy of ma.
ture; and it is an undoubted fact that if
the birds were swept off the face of the
