The indications for q good spring
trade are every day becoming more mani
fest. Carpenters and builders have quite
number of orders on hand, and they
state they are very much in advance as

Among the lots Of hogs purchased
by Mr.. J. s, Gilmore this week, two lots
are especially deserving of notice. They
were raised By bsr. 8, Wadsworth. and
Mr.. David Brown of Rural township, and
neighbors. These hogs we're heavy. fine
and fat, and the attention thus bestowed
proves lucrative to the raisers and gives
them preference over others.
Constable Louis Eckhardt returned
from Happy Hollow last night and re-
NAMED in town to-day, but will return
there this evening. He reports all quiet,
although threats have been made, and
| Intimidation is resorted to where i GaE be
done without coming under the eye of the
law, The trouble In the district seems to
be pretty well narrowed down to a COM
psrative few who are of rough character
and intimidate those who would be willing
and are even DESTROYS af working. The
worst class of these men will be gradually
weeded out as the writs of forcibly detain-
or, go into effect to morrow and some Of
the families have already moved out. The
negroes With whom there has been some
misunderstanding, and who were induced
to bring suits have been influenced By
these same men, but their cases amount
to nothing,
Comparatively little has been done in
the way of hog killing this week, owing to
the mild and changeabe weather. The
market prices are unchanged aad same as
previously quoted. viz: 81, live weight.
The supply fhogsis getting rather scarce
and the season for killing is near close; this
week will probable see it about wound up.
