several Car loads of hogs to Chicago, bu
the snow drifts prevented freight train
reaching Chicago, and up to Tuesday nigh
;, his cars of hogs had not been able to &C
: to the city. Stock shippers know whs
delays of this sort cost, and that it take

balance the loss. We hope Meiggs cam
ont without much loss, and that his futur
shipments will be sufficiently remunerariy
to cover all drawbacks.
