towns along the Ohio river, between this
city and the Kentucky State line, receive
large proportion OF their supplies from
wholesale houses either here or from Gin.
cinnati, and the freezing up Of the river
for any length Of time lays an embargo
upon the reception Of those supplies,
The "freeze.ups' this winter have been
more frequent and protracted Than usual
and az consequence both Wheeling and
her tributaries have suffered, The former
because goods could not be sold and de.
livered, and also because the produce and
provisions that are received In exchange
Tor other commodities could not be
brought here; the tributaries, because
they could get nothing in the
shape Of groceries and dry goods and be-
cause the large quantities OF produce that
had accumulated could not readily be
disposed Of and shipped 10 good markets.
During the last week there has been a
regular boom in the matter oiriyer freights.
Wheat, corn, oats, butter, eggs, poultry,
hoop poles, lumber, slaves and whatever
else d0wn.the.river towns ship, have been
coming up In large quantities 10 this city,
Bellsife and Pittsburgh. TheTe has also
been very noticeable downward tendency
in family market prices within the last ten
days, which may be attributed largely to
this course.

aFHE W0RD OF GOD.p

Abstract Of n Sermon Preached ~
father Sullivan Yesterday at the
Cathedral.
At the three services at the Cathedral
yesterday, "Ths Word Of God' was the
subject OF the discouIses, Father ], I.
Sullivan, Vicar. General Of this diocese,
preached at the early mass and at nine
o'clock, and Father McElligott at the
afternoon service. The sermon of Father
Sullivan at nine o'clock was an admirable
one in every respect, and one Of the most
iorcible and practical discourses ever
preached in this city. His text was the
'parable Of the sower." The Savior ex.
plains that the seed means the Word oil
God, Some seeds fall in hearts that pro-
duce no fruits in return. Other seeds fall
in hearts which make only slight returns,
while other hearts produce an hundred
fold.
The divine was at o loss to understand
