A Place For Crumbangh.

Major Crumbaugh, of Kentucky ,
who has been here for many weeks
waiting for something at the hands
of the Administration, is at last in a
fair way to get a good Office. The
President has been anxious to give
him something, but has found it diff.
ficult to make vacancy in position
where man of the Majors attain
ments could fit it nicely. He now
has a place in view, however, and the
hint has been dropped to the Major
that he will probably be fixed within
the next 10 days. The Major is very
reticent about the matter, and having
learned from experience, refuses to
discuss the matte at all.-Enquirer .

Heavy Sale of snufr Stock .

The largest sale of tobacco made to
one man in this market for a number
of years, and probably the largest in
the history of the market, was made
this week by Gather Il West to Mr..
A. B. Hill, buyer of the Bruton &
Condor snuff factory, of Nashville,
Tenn. The sale amounted to 625
hogsheads and was probably the best
lot of snuff stock sold in the West
this season. Over 400 hogsheads of
this lot was put up by Mr.. G. r. Hal
lums, one of the largest packers on the
market. Mr.. Hill buys a large part
of his stock on this market every year
and as he represents one of the larg
est snuff factories in the United
States his trade is worth a great deal
to the market.
