will be o mistake, however, to os
upon this prospect Us a coDple,o e.
versal of the ordinary conditions ff
the South. There is no likelihood
that there will be surplus over home
consumption in that section. Outside
of Texas and Northern Georgia, tie
South will have no grain to sell. The
absence of granaries and the attrac-
tion Of good prices may induce the
producers to put some of their stuil
on the market for export early in the
season, but there is reason to suspect
that later in the season the South vii!
he q large purchaser Of grain and pro
visions as usual. The Southern peo-
plo are proverbially improvident; it
is characteristic of both whites and
blacks to live fully up to their resour-
ccs. If they were obliged to stint
themselves last year on account OF
scarcity and high prices, the promise
of abundance this year will tempt
them to over-indulgence. They will
feed their hogs literally on corn and
they themselves will eat literally OF
pork. The South may not uecd to
buv as much from the North this year
as it has been in the habit OF buying,
bu, it is entirely safe to conclude that
there will be no surplus of grain over
consumption in that section. Hence
the grain product of the South is not
likely to be an important factor in de-
termining prices. All Indications
point to large yield of wheat every
where and q suflicien, supply of corn.

SENECA, April 20, 1882.
After q long silence, your correspondent
ventures again to appear before your many
readers IN his character of chronicler of the
passing events of this quiet but improving
little city. Since last appearing in your col
umns many interesting social, pleasant and
mournful events have happened in our midst,
but as they have faded from the recollec-
ton of many, we will allow them to linger in
the memory of those most Immediately inter.

similar vote
The annual village election took place last
Tuesday. II was the qulctcst day witnessed
in Seneca for number of years-very little
interest having been manifested by either par,

minis elected in place of John Prickett. VIM.
H. Wiley was elected over james Morrisey
