The Penitentiary mystery deepens and
the public are becoming more Interested
from day to day. Occasionally the Star
Chamber operations of the management
leak out, and we have a glimpse of the
inside operations, which only increase the
demand for more light. 1t is reported
that yesterday Deputy Warden Quinn
was investigated, and after hearing evil
dence, the vote fer his removal was a tie.
The Superintendent of the State shops,
Mr.. Heller, was invited to resign, and he
did so. To-day it is said the case of War
den McWhorter will be investigated. the
charges against him being quite numer-
GUS and damaging. The dOings at the
Penitentiary will make fine subject for
legislative investigation the coming win
/ ter. Whether the charges and counter
charges between the Penitentiary officials
are true or not, one thing is evident, and
that is the utter lack of harmony in man
agement. There appears to be too much
executive talent in that place. Less talent
and more efficiency, industry and hon
esty, would cOnduee to the better interests
of the prison and of the State. Better
clean out the whole lot of officials than TO
keep up this trOuble.-CoIunabus Dispatch.

About Stock and Prices.

Pittsburgh Price Current, Dec. 18th.
The highest price offered in New York
for live hogs last Monday was $3.15 pei
cwt.
Chicago received 9O7, ,629 hogs in No
vember, the largest number ever received
there i'll one month.
During the burning of the Swartz pack
ing house at Albany recently one hum
dred hogs were burned alive.
There is a brisk demand for light fat
heifers, and more could be sold, if here,
at prices ranging from $S.1234 4@3. .3716.
One lot of very fine heavy cattle were
sold here on Friday for $5.1216, which is
the best sale made here for some months.
Shipments of live stock from New York
last week: Live cattle, 440 head dressed
beef, 1870 quarters; carcasses of mutton,
1900.
A few Christmas cattle are making their
appearance, and will doubtless be here in
abundance within the next ten days. 1t
does one good to gaze at these sleek, juicy
looking animals.
Western men are rapidly improving
their breeds of cattle and sheep. Fine
stock breeders say that the greater part of
their sales are to Western farmers. After
seeing the kind of stuff they sometimes
send to market, no one will dispute the
wisdom of this course.
A postal card from our old friend James
Rea, Carmichaels, Pa, informs us that he
sold to j. F. Bellsteine, of Allegheny
City, on Monday, pair of steers years
and months old, the home weight of
which was 4 4,204 pounds, and the weight
When sold 4,045 pounds.
In reporting the hog packing for No
XemOer about 100000 head in excess of
November, 1877 the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent predicts that the same ratio will be
kept up through the remainder of this
year, but that during the latter mart of
the winter the receipts will be less thar
those of the corresponding period in The
opening of the present year
The run of cattle so far this week hos
been quite liberal, just as we expected it
would be after the good market of last
week. Country buyers, however, are
purchasing with unusual freedom, and
the decline in prices is not nearly as great
as might have been looked for. The trade
maintains its active and cheerful tone,
and the feeling is by no means depressed
or discouraging. We think the market
will stand heavier runs through the re-
maindeP of the season, as the demand for
cattle seems to be somewhat stimulated
and strengthened.
