A Transaction in Pork.

Some years since there arrived in
Cincinnati a man from the interior of
the State, who had a drove of hogs to
dispose Of The packers of pork were
then, as they are now, disposed to buy
as cheap as possible, and it was alleged
that they had entered into combii.a-
ton to keep down the prices of the live
article. The stranger visited one estab-
lish nent after another, but failed to get
IN offer that suited him. At length he
concluded 10 have the hogs packed on
account-that is Ito turn them over to a
packing establishment to pack at his
charge and sell for his account. The
bargain was made and he returned home.
Some three months after he was met by
a friend who had heard of the transac-
ton. "You packed your own hogs this
year, didn't your asked the friend.
Eyes" did you save anything con-
tinued the inquirer. ooh, yes, l saved
something | saved my life, but ] lost
my hogs"

THE CITY WINS.

Decision OF j Judse Simons In Favor of tho
City in tho Hoffman Avenue Reassess.
ment Gases.
A decision was yesterday rendered by Judge
Simons of the district court, in the of the
city of st. Paul VS.. the owners of property re-
assessed for the grading of Hoffman avenue
which has been in litigative since 1875. Judg-
m ,nt was ordered against each lot for the
amount assessed in favor of the city. Follow.
ing is an ABSTRACT of the decision, which was
very voluminous9
This is an application by the treasurer of the
city of st. Paul for judgment against certain
lots and par. els of land reassessed for the grad
ing of Hoffman avenue in said city from
Seventh street bridge to its southern terminus.
The original assessment was confirmed on the
25thh day of March, 1875, and judgment there
in was rendered by the late court of common
pleas of said county of Ramsey, on the 18th
day of November, 1875.
After adverting to the city's contract with
Patrick Nash, and the subsequent order of the
council for reassessment of the property on
account OF the assessed improvements together
with the illegality of going behind the former
judgment of the court, based on the act au-
thorizing the councilt to order the reassessment,
the decision goes on to give the objection inter
posed by the property owners, which are
twenty-nine in all and very voluminous.
Inc decision LQeu says: NO eV1OeuCe QaS
been offered to show that the reassessment
was not regularly made, nor has any evidence
been offered tending to prove fraud or any act
of willful misconduct on the part of the COM
mon council or board of public works any
of the members thereof, either alleged in the
objections or otherwise, and as in the view I
take in the law, the only objections material
upon this application for judgment are those
which relate to the reassessment, it is not neces-
sary to consider the evidence which tends to
prove the invalidity of the original assessment,
and upon which judgment was derived as above
stated.
The decision then quotes the acts of the leg
islature under which the council acted, togeth-
er with the reasons given by the objectors, by
which it is alleged that the reassessment was
unconstitutional under said acts, and con-
| times: The legislature has not proceeded upon
the theory that the city authorities would in
| any case wilfully disregard their duty or will
fully omit any act incorporated by the charter,
| and the court cannot construe the statue upon
that assumption. OF course fraud vitiate.
these az we'll as all other proceedings but that
must be proved, it cannot be presumed.
| If it be said that such legislation tends tc
encourage negligence in public officers in the
discharge of their duties, the answer is. that is
q question for the legislature and not for the
courts. The power of the legislature is ample
| its intention is plain. and that must be car
ried out, let the views of the court as to the ex
pediency of the statute be what they may. Lee
| judgment be entered against each lot and par
| eel of land reassessed for the amount assessed
| thereon.

THE ST. CROIX.

of New Packet Company
Fast, Staunch and Handsomely Furnished
Boats-With Daily Line Between Hast
ings and Taylors Falls.
Navigation on the st. Croix this season will
lack one element of interest it has had for two
or three seasons past-opposition lines. Yester-
day negotiations in progress for some time past
were oonsummated in the organization of the
St Paul & st. Oroix Packet company. The
parties to this now organization are Capt. John
81. Reaney of this city, and agent of the
Keokuk-Northern line, who will be the general
manager, aud AIessrs. Walker, Judd & Veazie
of Marine Mills, and Smith Ellison Of Taylors
Falls. The company propose to run
daily line from Hastings via Prescott
and Saltwater to Taylors Falls and
return, one boat running between saltwater
and Hastings and another between Saltwater
and Taylors Falls, connections being made at
Saltwater with trains from st. Paul on the st.
Paul & Duluth and st. Paul, Saltwater & Tay-
lors Falls railroads.
Capt. Reaney furnishes for the line an ele-
CANT new steamer built for him at the yards of
the Keokuk-Northern line the past winter. The
new steamer is declared a perfect model of
river craft has been finished off in the best of
style. and is in every particular, machinery,
appointments, ETC., first class boat. She has
been christened the Mary Barnes, in honor of
III,
Wis, and will be commanded by Capt. Rus.
Ruley, one of tho most experienced and popu-
lar river men of these upper waters.
The other parties named furnish the staunch
and fast steamer G.. B. Knapp, with Capt.
George Hayes in command, a worthy colaborer
with Capt. Ru!ey. The Knapp has been thor
oughly repaired and renovated, and goes into
the line in perfect shape, as to appointments,
etc. Both boats will have the necessary COM
pliment of barges for moving freight, the de-
termination of the new organization being to
do the st. Croix river business in better shape
and less friction than ever done before.
The Knapp will leave Saltwater for Taylors
Falls to-day, and the Mary Barnes will come
up from Lacrosse and take her place in the
line, as soon as the sun and wind makes pas
sage through Lake Pepin, when the regular
daily line will be inaugurated.
THE MAGGIE REANEY.
By the above arrangement the handsome,
fast and powerful steamer Maggie Reaney,
built by Capt. Reaney for the St. Croix trade q
year ago the past winter, is left out of the
business so far as that river is concerned, but
the Mississippi at its present low stage makes
q demand for such boats, and she has already
been placed in commission in the Mississippi
business, leaving La Crosse for down river
with tow.
&. N. APPOINTMENTS.
All of the boats of the Keokuk Northern
line have not yet been put in commission, but
the following are out: Alex. Mitchell, Capt.

now upon the stage, and competent critics

dramatic power that will never again be af-
forded to citizens of St. Paul. To say that
Mr.. Mccullough will lack an audience would
be an imputation upon the intelligence OF
