Southern Cincinnati Does Not
Want It.
CINc1NNATI October

CINCINNATI, October IL.
To the Editor Of the C0urier.Journal:
1 Isuppose that you are aware by this time
that the business men of Cincinnati voted
yesterday. Now, sir, do you suppose that
we propose to get down on our knees and
beg for Southern trade? If you do, the
vote of yesterday doesn't show it. Now,
as far as Southern trade is concerned, it
is not worth going after; all the goods
that are sold in that section of the coun-
try are sold by Southern men who come
to Cincinnati, beg situations, work cheap
(like the Chinee); they make two or
three trips, and during those trips enough
bad debts to break up an ordinary house.
am sure Cincinnati can do without your
Southern trade; so, if you want it, why
take it, and make less noise. Eight bills
out of ten sold South are usually settled
at about fifty cents on the dollar. Con-
sequently, in selling them goods it is
necessary to enlarge our profits to get
even. So far as our Southern Railroad is
concerned, it is paid for and no thanks to
the South. If you want the custom of
the long-haired Southerners, why just
call your Southern bulldozing statesmen
from Cincinnati, and l assure you if they
want any goods in Cincinnati they will
have to come after them. Of course any
business house wants trade, but we prefer
to trade with decent people, and not
those who carry shot-guns in their boots.
So far as the sayings of the Commercial
and Gazette go they are sustained by the
citizens here by large majority. If
that be treason to the South, make the
most of it.

A PUGNAcIoUs HAwK.-A Georgia
hawk recently made a bold attack upon
a lady. She was sitting in a room adj
joining the hall in her house in Vineville,
when she heard heavy thud, and the
noise of falling glass outside the door.
Rushing into the hall she found her little
child there and perched upon some OBJ
ject near at hand gigantic hawk. Up:
on the appearance OF the lady the bird
made swoop for her, and while she was
using all endeavors to protect the child
by covering its head, fastened its talons
in the !ady's hair. After serious strug-
gle she succeeded in beating the bird off,
when it retreated to picture Of Gen. Lee,
upon which it perched. The lady ran TO
her room and called upon the servants to
close the hall door. This was done and
the hawk would have been captive
if he had not darted into bedroom,
sidled to the window and escaped. He
was so large that when he entered the
door his wings struck the doorway on
each side.

- There has been severe snow storm
in the Northwest. The snow fell twelve
feet deep, destroying much stock and
property in Missouri, Minnesota, Dacota,
and on the Lakes.
DIR. Tanner has at last met his

in Holt County, Missouri, got entangled
in pile of rails, and remained in that

According to recent surveys of the
Great Salt Lake, its greatest length is 90
miles, while its greatest width is 43 miles.
The present evaporation is about one
inch per day, and the influx through the
many rivers entering the lake is little
more. As soon as the snow in the hills
give out the lake will begin to fall.
