 Many of our tobacco buyers have finished packing for the season. Will give you next week some idea of the number of cases put up here during the winter. One who received his information directly from the tanners, reports that within the limits of this town, there were 53l acres devoted to tobac co in 1879, with yield of 75O, l57 lbs. As the farmers usually like to report big yield to the acre, it is more than probable that if correctly measured, the whole number of acres would be $50, which would give an average of 1864 lbs. to the acre. Many of our best growers, got each year from 1900 to 1900 lbs. per acre, but moro are unable to
 average more than 1900 to l400 lbs. March and April as usual, Geem to find the undert kers busy. ''Its an ill wind," etc N. Staub has just brought in l9 fine Ohio horses. 0.
