The decfiflspd was a native of Ed 'or ;ance iK 35 he came with his father to this place, and continued to reside here up to January, 18'1S, when ill health com pelled him to withdraw from the Mercan tile business, in which he had been for several years successfully engaged, and moved to a plantation which he hadpur chased a few miles from town. Though it was evident to his friends, and to him self, for a year or two before he left town, that the fell destroyer, consumption, had marked him as an early victim, yet it was hoped that a residence in the country, where he could take active exercise, and be measurably free from the cares of bus iness, would effect a sensible improve ment in his health; but in this his" friends, as well as himself, were disappointed, for though he at times appeared some what better, yet, to the careful observer, it was evident that he was gradually growing worse.

A correspondent of the Newark Daily Daily Advertiser, a moderate anti-slavery paper, writing from .

A correspondent of a mercantile house of Louisville, haying recently visited the pork packing points on the Illinois and Mississippi rivers pays the number of hogs will fall Very little short of last season. The estimate of hogs packed on the Illinois and Missouri rivers last season is 500.000, including St. Lou is. The corn crop was never fir;er, he adds, and this will enable feeders to bring all their small hogs lo market, by late feeding.
