New York J aper savs ;
‘‘There never m;is such a time among 1
hogs ! The receipts are in t extravagant
ly huge, hut the demand is extremely
limited. Ilitlurto, at this season of the
year, large «.\ports Mere made; this year
' cargoes that were rent out oaily in the
Summer arc now riturned from Europe
and thrown bacK upon the shippers. A
decline of 41 cents pa r pound live weigh(,
has sent the price fully G cents below
what it was last year, when the receipts
were 3.U00»1e-s per week than they n n?
are, and an active export demand afford
ed a ready market to holders. Trices
then, between the middle of August and
tlie loih of November, advance 2 gents
per pound. The pry?ff*U high price of
corn is forcing heavy of hogs on
the market, and it is believed pries will
exrerience a still further , fine, and
force -Sreiarffs at heir, y sacrifices.
“Dork has tumbled fY- tn jto £22
per barrel, and is now §lO 50 below the
juices of same time ia-t year. The mar
ket is very unsettled aud is doomed to
still further reduction.
“Lard is 12 to I I cents per pound low

returned from England, and large sup
plies are coming in It out the West.
Prices have gone clown G cents during
the past three mouths, and must go still
lower.”
„ W A ham]some young girl was set
up vi hone night with a noble young
specimen of ILo true American, with a
scissors iu his vest pocket—l mean a dry
poods clerk ; and the young girls mother
hearing suthin’ pop, rose from her couch
under the impression that Iter eldest boy
was holding a wild revel on the root-beer
in the west room. But on opening tha
dr or, she <li-l,ivered it was huggill’ and
kissin’ which awakned her from her
peaceful repose.
‘‘My darter, my darter! ’ this fond pa
rent did cry T . ‘-(ill that I should live to
see this doin’s in my own house!”
‘‘l know, mother,” this sweet villiage
maiden did to her tnoiher quick re; ly,
‘•that it is improper, but it is o:lul sooth

In New Y)'k a man was carry
ing home a live turtle along the street
when an Irishman with l.isdog passed hv.
The countryman tried hy gentle words
to get the son of Emerald to put his fing
er into the turtle’s mouth but lie was too
smart for him : “But,” says he, “I’ll
pat my dogs tail in, and sec what the
baste will do.” Ho immediately called
up his dog who took its tail in his mouth
11e had scarcely got it in when Mr. Tur
tle shut down on his tail and off the uog
smi led at railroad speed, pul'ing the tur
t!e after him at a more rapid rata than
he ever traveled before. The country
man. thinking that his day’s wot k would
he thrown away if the animal should run
at that rate, turned with a savage look
and exclaimed : “Call tack your dog!”
Paddy put. his hands in his pockets,
winked and answered with provoking
sang i'roid, “call back jour ILh !’
Filial Love. — A plain old gentle
man went with his team to bring homo
his sons,two young sprigs who soon expec
tintr to graduate. While returning they
stopped at a hotel in one of our country
towns, for dinner. The landlord, struck
with the dashing appearance of ttie two
pent'emen, made himself very officious,
while betook I ho old pain, from his home
spun appearance tube nothing but a driv
er, and asked them if they wished tho
driver to sit at the same table with them.
‘■Well, Dick,’’said the youngster, aside
to his brother, “as be is our father,and it
is his team, and he will bear the expense,
I think we had bettei let him eat with us,”
“Yes. I think s> too, under thechcurn
stanccs,” he replied. “LandorJ, give
him a place at the table.”
The Lake Tunnel. —The greatest
achievement of m idem ti ties is the com
pletion of the L ike tunnel at Chicago.
The workmen reached the central point
on Saturday morning at 2 o\-iot k - The
greatest rejoicing was manifested on the
occasion, ami the people were wild with
exe tement. A grand celebration iu honor
of the event will be held in a few days.
A young gentleman from the
city, describing affairs in the country
writes 'hat “the cows often act very bad
ly about being milked ; so we rim s when
you are almost through, they will kick
the milk all over, an l you have to go to
