Ed. D.JoURNAL:- Had there been anything to
would have henrd from me but when a man
has nothing to remark he should remtrk moth
ing. Business Is comparatively at sta udstili
at present, owing to the scarcely of money, and
tue prospects ahead are not very encouraging
Corn in this market is selling at 80 cents per
hundred pounds, and there being only about
twO-thirds OF crop, as claimed by our best
farmers, and paying rs cents per day to hands
tn bnsk it out, douL look as though our farmers
or any one else were going to get rich out Of
this FALLS crops. The hog crop is nearly a
failure, ON account Of disease that prevailed
| among the poI kers IN the early part Of the sea
son. Nearly all our farmers Lust from one to
ight and ten head nut nf their droves ranging
frum five Ia twenty-five That, Of course,
makes n scarcity Of poi k, and our butchers are
Obliged to 60 sume distance through the coun-
~ u obtain hogs to i'll their contracts in TOle-
do, The market in. Toledo, at last accounts
was paving but 4485 cents per pound for
dressed hogs. Our butchers paid but 2JS@3
cents per pound, live weight, which furnished
| no inducsmrnt for farmers to sell hogs, even il
they had them to dispose Of. Corn and hogs
are the only products whereby to obtain money
! until next harvest. How do you like the pic.

stuck a silver in ons Of his fingers of the Eht

the fuger, had a call to the country and rode
through rain storm, took cold in his hand,
and the result was three or four sleenless

| very encouraging. The Doctor is ON dnty

damage to the house is slight.
